More Pins and banner news
over 3 years ago – Tue, Jan 12, 2021 at 08:16:20 PM

New pins are here and they look amazing! I’ll be spending my weekend grading them and will start shipping out next week. Still waiting on the remade Yeth Hound, Anubis and Hati and Skol.

Also backing cards came in and they look amazing. They have a very soft feel that I was surprised by and I love it.

In other news, I wanted to make it an option, but my sewing machine has broken, I was hoping to get it fixed but it’s apparently irreparable, for me at least. In replacement of the banner you can choose {Anubis AND Yeth Hound} or {Hati} or {Skol}. I’ll be sending out orders next week and if I don’t hear which options you would like it will be chosen at random. (This is for backers of 6 or more) I’m sorry if you were really excited about the banners, if you really had your heart set for one, please reach out to me and I’ll see what I can do. My sister has a sewing machine but she didn’t want me using it for a large batch since sewing is her bread and butter and she uses it all day.

Pins starting shipping soon and banner alternative options
over 3 years ago – Sun, Jan 10, 2021 at 11:46:20 PM

Hey everyone! I'm supposed to get the rest of the pins and backing cards tomorrow. I'm still working on grading them, since grading over 3600 pins by yourself takes a while. In addition, Yeth Hound, Anubis, Hati and Skol are still being remade, anyone that ordered one of these will unfortunately have to wait till the replacement ones reach me before I ship them out. I will be locking addresses in a week since I will begin shipping out rewards next Tuesday and Wednesday (my days off from my day job). 

In other news, I'm still making banners (which is a lot more work than I was anticipating) so if you backed more than 6 pins, even if you opted out of the banners, I would like to offer either a free (Yeth AND Anubis) pin or a (Hati) or (Skol) to receive in replacement of the banners. The Anubis and Yeth came out smaller than expected and the Hati And Skol have a ring instead of chain and lots of glitter, (see previous update if you would like to see pictures) I know I would greatly appreciate if you want these instead of a banner, I was not prepared to make almost 100 banners :X If you would like this alternative option please send me a message and I will update your survey and please let me know which option you would like. 

That's all for now, I'll post an update with the backing cards and pins tomorrow or Tuesday. 

Incoming pins!!!

Pins are coming in! I was surprised when I got a box from my manu a couple days ago, they look absolutely amazing! I’m still waiting on a few (Cerberus, Febrir, Akhlut, Cu Sith and Ahuizotl) as well as the backing cards. There were a few mistakes made on my part with the sizes of the Yeth Hound and Anubis which are being remade as well as a manu mistake with the heaps of glitter and lack of chain on Hati and Skol which are also being remedied. These, I were assured, are being remade and will be finished Monday and set alongside the backing cards soon after. I’ve started work with grading the pins while I wait and to my delight most are perfect or near perfect (only the most scrutinizing of eyes could find faults) here are some photos I took but they look even better in person. So far we are still on course for a mid to late January shipping date.

production almost complete
over 3 years ago – Wed, Dec 09, 2020 at 04:43:53 PM

Hey everyone! I got a message from my producer that they are almost finished with the pins. I wasn’t expecting them to get done so fast, especially considering they haven’t sent me many to any pictures. From what I can see, they look really good so I’m really excited to have these in hand. Please note that the Cerberus is unfinished, this is before the polishing and final plating so he looks a little rough. I asked my liaison for more photos so I’m hoping she send those tonight.

Also, 97% of you all have filled out the survey, if you still need to fill it out please do so as soon as possible so I can send your rewards as soon as they arrive which might be sooner than I previously suspected.
