Spirits 2: An Enamel Pin Set

New Pin Design Reveal - 'Noctis'
about 2 years ago – Sun, Apr 24, 2022 at 02:55:59 AM

Hey everyone! I wanted to reveal the next stretch goal pin design: Noctis. This design features a vampire bat skull with a black hole and belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade. It is currently unlocked :)

If you'd like to add more pins to your pledge, you should be able to do so via the add-on option. Early bird tiers can add $10 to their pledge for each additional pin they'd like to add.

I have decided to use backerkit for surveys and reward fulfillment - this will make it easy to add pins from my previous sets to your reward packages once the campaign ends :)

Thank you all so much for supporting this campaign! I'm very excited to reveal the next design, so stay tuned :)

Spirit of Wisdom Sticker Art Reveal & Add-On Update
about 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 20, 2022 at 03:52:55 PM

Hey everyone! I wanted to show you all the art for the Spirit of Wisdom vinyl sticker. This design is already unlocked and will be available as an option for the freebie vinyl sticker. If you want to add more stickers to your pledge, you can do so via add-ons (if you have any difficulty with add-ons let me know and I'll be happy to help!). 

Sorry I posted this a bit later than I wanted to, I ended up having a crazy week at work and have been been fussing around with the art on this quite a bit. I'm still not 100% happy with it, so I may make a few more minor tweaks before sending it off to be printed. 

I've been debating on using backerkit for reward surveys and fulfillment. There has been interest expressed in being able to add pins from my previous campaigns to reward packages, and I'd like to give you all the option to buy some of my old designs at a discounted price ($13 per pin). Since some of my old designs are out of stock, I'm not sure if I'll be able to create an add-on option on kickstarter for previous designs without it getting confusing. If I choose to go with backerkit, I'll have to raise the unlock amounts on future pin design stretch goals to offset their fees. I have 5 more pin designs in the works (and I really want to make sure they all get made because I think you're all really going to love them), so I think I'm going to figure out if I can find a way to include the previous pin designs without using backerkit. 

What would all you prefer? For those who have backed kickstarters before and have filled out surveys on both kickstarter and backerkit, do you have a preference between the two?

I hope you all like the new art! I'm hoping this coming week is a little less hectic so I can finalize the finishing touches on my new pin designs. Really excited to share them all with you :)

I hope you've all been well, and thank you for the support! 

"Spirit of Guidance" Sticker Art Reveal!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 20, 2022 at 11:10:16 AM

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I finished the illustration for the spirit of guidance sticker design and wanted to share it with you all. Read below for important information about stickers.

Each pin pledge will receive only one vinyl sticker for free with their pin pledge. However, backers will be able to choose which sticker design they would like to receive for free. I've made a new add-on option for anyone interested in purchasing additional vinyl stickers for their reward package. 

Next I'll be working on the illustration for the spirit of wisdom, and a new skull pin design :) I hope you've all been well!

Polaris Test Batch Photos!!!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 20, 2022 at 11:09:45 AM

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some photos with you of some pins I got in the mail today! 

Quick backstory: Up until recently I had been using a middleman for pin production, but their pin quality started going very downhill. I received several batches of pins from them that were completely unsellable on reorders of some of my older designs. I decided to break away from them and start working directly with factories,  so I've been testing out new pin manufacturers over the last few months. I decided to order a test batch of the design 'Polaris' from one of them, and I am THRILLED with how they turned out. Photos are below, and I'll likely be using this manufacturer for the rest of the pins in this project :)

(please note: these pins will not be available for sale until reward packages have shipped)

The campaign is still going great! The freebie pin is officially unlocked to be free with every pledge of two or more pins. I should also have some new art to reveal tomorrow, so stay tuned :) 

As always, thank you so much for supporting this project, it means the world to me. Feel free to share this project around on social media, and I hope you've all been doing well!
