Minor complications

Hey everyone. I'm finished working on the surveys however I can't send them out until everyone has paid, otherwise it will be two weeks before I can send them out. If everyone pays then Kickstarter can push through the funds to me so I can get the ball rolling but I can't pay to send out the surveys (since Backerkit get a percentage of the funds) or order any of the pins until I receive the funding we raised. As of this moment there are still nine of you that have errors, please correct this as soon as you can so we can move forward. If you are unable to pay at this time I understand since we are on hard times, please send me a private message and I will let Kickstarter know so we know not to wait two weeks. I'm still hoping to get all the pins by Christmas but if I have to wait two weeks they may not go out till January.

OMG you guys!!!! We did it! I keep refreshing thinking the final tally can't be right, I just can't believe how much we raised!!! I'm honestly kind of scared of how many pins I'll have to actually order lol. its going to be a LOT of work once I get them in to grade, board and ship everyone's rewards but it is totally worth it! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm finishing surveys tomorrow and they should be going out very soon so keep an eye out. 

Suprise!!!! Did someone say more stretch goals!

I can't believe we made it past 10K!!!! To celebrate I am adding two more surprise pins! This will make the whole collection a total of 25 pins, which is also a much nicer rounded number ;) I hope you like them as much as I do

 The first is Kuon Khryseos (also known as Canis Major or Laelaps) He will be gold plated and the only color will be a glitter white, so lots of gold for our golden dog of Zeus. 

The second is the Inu Hariko, a good luck or protection totem from Edo period Japan. He will also be golden plated and as you can see, lots of fun enamel colors. 

I'm busy getting my Backerkit surveys set up so that I can send everything out as soon as Kickstarter collects everything. Once the campaign is finished you should see one within the first couple days. If there are a lot of problems with collecting funds it might delay everything so please double check that everything is good on your end so we can get the fulfillment started quickly. I'm hoping to still have everything before Christmas :O 

Last stretch goal pin!!!

Only four days left! I can't believe we broke 8k!!!! This is has been an amazing experience, I'll never stop thanking you all :) I finished the last design today and need your input on what kind of plating you all would prefer. Let me know in the comments if you'd like silver, black nickel or gold plating.

Backing Card and new freebie!

Hey everyone! We are on the home stretch! I finished the design for the backing cards, it might be adjusted a little bit before final approval but I really like the look of it. Each will have a description of the doggo on the back along with a map with its origin marked in red. Hati and Skol will be on larger backing cards since they will be pretty big with the attached sol of mani pin. If you've bought Xolotl, Anubis, or Cwn Annwn from me in the past and want backing cards to match the rest of the set let me know and I'll send those along with your order. 

In addition to backing card designs I finally have the freebie pin banner finished. It took me a while with tweaking the design to match what I envisioned. It still need gold thread around it and I'm contemplating adding the Canis Mythologica logo at the top. (sorry for the not so great photo, photography is not my strong suit) These will be free to any backers of 6 or more pins or if you have backed less but want the banner it will be an additional $10. They will all be made in house by yours truly :) That's it for now and thank you again!
