 PRODUCTION HAS FINISHED!!!

Hi everyone!!! All the pins have completely production!!! OH YAY AAHHH I'm gonna cry! They are on the way 😭🙏 And they look beautiful! Here's a picture of just a few of them. 

They should arrive at my house late this month, so fulfillment will at last begin early December! Oh god finally! AAHHH! I'm so ready! gimme! from there I'll make a much bigger update and FAQ about what to expect when that happens and once they arrive! :D 

 NEW PROJECT ON THE WAY! preview page here!

This time, this project is gonna be more a quick-starter, and will be a capaign being launched on Backerkit! I know it's a totally different platform, but they work together and go hand in hand a lot, and I have always loved backerkit, so trying out a new campaign on there will be interesting! For anyone interested in following the project before it launches, here's the preview link!

I'm aiming to launch Friday, but I have a feeling Backerkit will need more time to review my project because they are gone for Veterans day, so probably next week or so! 

Production is underway! 🥲

Hi guys! Things are in motion. Thank God

Just wanted to say that all the enamel pins have been approved, and have been in production.  Some of them have been for bout two months now, but now all the troublesome ones have been through sampling a revisions and they all look wonderful and don’t have errors.  Here are some of the samples with perfect colors. 

I’m excited to be able to receive the finished pins and show pictures with the plating. They already look so good without it. God… I just cannot wait to have these pins. 😭 🙏✨I think I might cry when I see them. lol  <XD

THE NEXT KICKSTARTER is... 

Like… pretty much here haha!  Like within the next week or two haha! 😅🥹This last kickstarter has run into so many issues that I just need to get this next one off the ground, or I’m gonna implode haha. Thank you guys in the comments giving your support about that. I was pretty unsure but you guys give me confidence. Thank you!

And the next kickstarter, IS Bakery Desserts! 

I cannot tell you how excited I am for these babies. I think this next set is going to make the perfect trifecta of themes between my Mystic Tea Party Dragons, and my Cryptic Coffee Date Dragons. I still need to come up with a cute name for the baker/dessert Dragon set, but hahah I’ll figure out something. For now, here’s two of the pins designs to give you a sneak peak at some of them! I really think this one might be my new favorite set haha. Or maybe it’s the three. I really love this coffee set too. XD 

Here is Lemon Tart, and Strawberry Shortcake! 

Also! I am OPEN for Commissions!

Here is my commission page on Etsy! It says everything in both the descriptions and the images!  HERE! 

I know it says the Colored pencil Sketch Portraits are $45, but genuinely, if anyone wanted one but couldn’t do $45, I’d do it for $30 lol  These are commissions, and I am flexible XD You can either go though my Etsy page with DMs, or you can email me at [email protected] if you are interested!  

Check out the Rules on my Etsy page!

Thank you so much guys for being so patient. I love you all so much! Thank you guys! Can’t wait for things to get back on track for everyone. <3 

We are sadly still waiting. but here's some info why. + Backercard

Hi guys! it's been a while. I haven't had much to say because, I'm still, waiting...

I wish I had some better news, but we are unfortunately still waiting. U_U I'm not sure what's going on on the Maufacoter's end,it's he same manufacturer I've always used, I have a great relationship with them, but there has just been so many errors with the creation of the pins. And with each error, means a redo until it gets approved, and so some of the pins are approved and are well into production, but then there's quite a few that has had a few redos, far more than just one or two X-X. So we are really being held back by these you see below. Some have a few color errors, some has some metal plating issues which is, oof, cuz color is a quick fix, but making a whole new mold takes more time. but here's some error examples so yall can see. 

Some really big errors like, Turkish Coffe had used the original error file, instead of the new one. a simpel human mistake mixing up but adds a whole new wait time for a mold after the entire batch should nearly be done. U_U The same error occured with Irish Cream, but because it doesn't hurt the pin I'm just going to keep it as it is. Samples don't usually show screenprinting, but Mexican mocha's mold also had a plating error, but Also the screenprinting was missed in the order form, so I had to add that. 

Here's some pins that came out great! These are the ones that have been well in production. Here's their samples, no need of editing. They don't have any photos of these pins with the proper plating cuz they still making them, but nonetheless lol. imagine them with copper plating for now XD

Because some people have been asking! Here is what the backcard is going to look like! I'm kind of branding to fall, more and more. My convention set up reflects this, and the painting I used is of my Autumn Wyvern piece I made ages ago, and it's still my favorite today. So, here's one of them! They all should have unique names for this kickstarter. 

Thank you everyone for being patient. This project has been kinda feeling a little cursed for me, haha, aah! <XD I'm ok, but there's just one after the next thing, delay delay. And the longer time goes on, this guilt of not getting you backers your pins yet after months overdue, I just feel worse. I apologize to everyone deeply, I am sorry for causing anyone frustration or irritation, it is completely understandable and valid. I'm so glad that so many other creators on Kickstarter are not running into as many insider issues as I am with their projects, but man, haha this one is the rockiest kickstarter I have run, and this is my 6th kickstarter lol. Infact,this kickstarter is taking so long, it's stunting my production/creation as an artist, it's starting to hurt me haha. I have the next project well into the works, and it should have been launched and finishing up around this time... and I really need to get it off the ground to maintain my art business in this economy. So it's killing me that this kickstarter hasn't even finished production yet. I see other creators launch a second project while their previous is still in the works, but I've always felt guilty about doing that? but idk, I might have to? I'm not sure.

Once again I'm so sorry I don't have better news, thank you everyone for being patient, and those who want to bail I completely understand! if anyone would like a refund no longer wishing to wait, let me know! And for those sticking around, I thank you deeply. Thank you everyone so much.
