Howdy! Know what's great? Fat birdies. So how about some little fat birdie harpies? Well, there you go. You're all set. With the LIL' HARPY pin set, you can get your hands on a tiny little harpy based on some fabulous backyard birds. Or you can get a whole flock of them! The choice is yours!
We're starting the set off with some classics: the Blue Jay and the Cardinal. Both of these unlock at the goal, so you can pick between the Red and Blue lesbians, OR you can get them both and make them kiss (highly suggested).
Designs are subject to change and are not final.
Other little birdies will be unlocked throughout the campaign, too, through stretch goals, which you'll see below!
The pins will be roughly 1.5 inches, in black metal with hard enamel. They will also have small screen-printed details on them!
If we hit the goal, that'll be two pins to choose from right away! Wahoo!
I'm keeping this simple a with tiers set to how many pins you want! You'll be able to choose exactly which birdies you desire from all the unlocked designs after the campaign is over and you fill in your surveys.
Every pin unlocked will also be added to add-ons, so you can add-on specific pin designs you want! You do not need to add-on a design to decide your pledged pin, you will be able to pick that at the end! This is only if you want specific extra pins.
(When all the pins are unlocked, I'll put up an "everything" pledge to get the whole set!)
Also if you back my Pintopia partner's campaign, Shiny Trinkets, along with mine, you will get a FREE extra pin: a tiny Crow Harpy! More on Pintopia below!
I often do crowdfunding with my partner through Windy & Wallflower, and you might know me from there! But if this is your first time, hi, hello! This crowdfunding shindig is all-or-nothing. Meaning if we fund the goal, great! I'm making these pins! But if the goal isn't reached by the end of the crowdfunding period, that's it--you won't be charged, and the pins will simply not be.
If you're used to platforms like Kickstarter, you'll know that shipping is attached to your pledge. That isn't how it works on Backerkit--instead, you will be charged shipping after the campaign during your survey. Please keep this in mind when pledging.
Below is a little chart so you can get an idea how much shipping will cost for you:
Unfortunately at this time, I can't ship to the EU due to different regulations. I'm very sorry! I hope this can be sorted soon, as it's frustrating to me, too!
Also, if you back this campaign and my fiance's campaign ANTIQUITY, you'll only have to pay shipping once!
💖 WELCOME TO PINTOPIA — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of over 175 creators collectively launching their pin and/or plushie project on BackerKit from January 23rd - February 13.
Pintopia works by collaborating with another project, and if you back both projects, you get a FREE pin from BOTH of our campaigns! This time I'm teaming up with Fairylogue Press with their campaign, SHINY TRINKETS!
If you back my campaign AND this one, you'll get a bonus pin from the BOTH of us. From me you'll get a cute lil Crow Harpy!
What a freakin' steal! Two birds with one stone!
I also have two other buddies in Pintopia--my fiance Winter and their project partner, who are doing ANTIQUITY and SKY THIEVES. Both are some marvellous pins you should ABSOLUTELY CHECK OUT.
Because we're partners irl, any pledges to both mine and ANTIQUITY will only have to pay one shipping price! We also have a community goal together: if both of our campaigns can hit 10k, we'll have a cool unlockable HARPY KEYCHAIN. Please check them out and get a bunch of bonus pins!
I don't usually do a FULL terms and conditions but here are a few things to keep in mind when backing a campaign of mine (on top of the Backerkit Rules/Terms).
DURING THE CAMPAIGN
Feel free to reach out and ask us questions. I will be available to answer them as much as I can! I'm only 1 person behind this project so I'm not a full Operation. Giving me a good 3 business days leeway time to answer you is preferred!
AFTER THE CAMPAIGN
It generally takes a couple weeks for all your payments to process and for things to hit bank accounts. Please help me help you and be sure to answer surveys and submit payment information in a timely manner.
I will be open and honest about the process and keep backers up to date with any delays. I generally update once a month once a campaign is completed. Please don't pester for more updates than this... I can't make things go faster.
Once everything's been shipped from a campaign I typically close a project within 6 months. After that point if you do not fill your survey I will not be obligated to ship your items out to you. Please make sure your email is accessible and you have updates turned on. I don't generally spam and try to limit updates to about once a month unless things are progressing faster.
I don't accept returns. However, you still have a 3 month leeway to get back to me about any significant issues in your rewards. Significant issues do not include any changes to the pin designs (they are not final until the order is sent in). Small surface scratches to not count as significant issues. Please refer to our shop's refund/return policy. That same policy applies here.
Don't worry I'll have several pertinent reminders about deadlines and such as things crop up. Keep in mind I'm still indie, and small. I respond better to patience and understanding when issues arise. I can't keep track of everything (as much as I'd love to) so a little kindness goes a long way.
Hi I'm Tas! As I mentioned above, I usually do collab crowdfunding with my partner, Winter! Together we run an online shop called Windy & Wallflower. This time we're going our separate ways as we team up with our friends for Pintopia!
