We've officially hit the midpoint of this campaign and, with just ten days to go, I wanted to follow up with some important updates:

YES, all six main pin designs are now unlocked! No, we haven't yet reached $3,000 (the initial goal for unlocking all six pin designs). So, what's going on?

I set out on this journey with the goal of creating *at minimum* the six main pins. I've grown awfully attached to them (I hope you have, too!) and, the longer we've continued down this journey, the more I've wanted to commit to ordering all six even if we ultimately land a little short on funding - and, given that, I don't want to continue any uncertainty around which designs will be available as we head into the final days.

I've split my next "artist series" set of pins in half so that I can free up some additional funds to help supplement the crowdfunding on these six pins, if needed, and I think it's absolutely worth it to potentially delay some of other art to make sure these ones are all accounted for. I've also gone ahead and unlocked the stickers to align with my regular processes - something I think I'll have unlocked from the start in future campaigns.

We're still continuing our forward momentum and are keeping our sights on unlocking the other stretch goals! The remaining stretch goals *will* remain as stretch goals, I can only adjust so much 😅  Take a look at what's ahead of us:

Long story short, the six main pins are unlocked, stickers are unlocked (and are now available as add-ons and in their own sticker tier!), and there are still three stretch goals for us to reach.

This is my first crowdfunding campaign, so I'm learning more about what works with my own process and what doesn't. It's a journey! And I truly appreciate you all coming along this journey with me and every bit of support along the way! At the halfway point, I do still feel good about where we're at and the path ahead of us. But I also understand that there can be a level of uncertainty here and wanted to relieve some of that stress, if I can. Because we can always use a little stress relief, right?

Want to help spread the word? Sharing the campaign or boosting social posts can be a huge help! It gets more eyes on these pins and increases our chances of unlocking those stretch goals even sooner.

My normal pin design process involves ordering stickers right away, so we've unlocked these sticky versions of our friends, too! Stickers will be 4" tall, die-cut, and with a smooth matte finish. Stickers are available either as add-ons or in a sticker-only pledge tier.

EDIT: I had to back out of the stream last minute, but please do still tune in, there are lots of creators sharing their work here!

I'll be joining several other awesome Pintopia pin creators streaming LIVE on Tuesday, February 4 at 2PM eastern/11AM pacific time. We'll be talking a bit about our pins, our processes, and more. Come join us!
