Another Production Update!
13 days ago – Mon, May 25, 2026 at 01:45:28 PM

Hi Everyone,

Production is still in process. All the art files and colors should be accurate - its mostly figuring out the glitters/glow and assembly for the more complicated pins. These pins are also being produced in conjunction with JBlake Design and her Muerte & Magic designs so they made will be on a similar timeline.

So far, I have ordered/ received the accessories for the pins, backer cards, shipping supplies, and the returning backer stickers:

If you have any questions, let me know - you can email me at [email protected].

Thank you for your patience!

Another Quick Update!

Hi All!

Manufacturing is still in progress! After sending the art, it was manufacturing was delayed due to the holiday season/ Lunar New Year closures. I've also had to adjust / clean up some art (no design changes!) for smoother production.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know!

Thanks!
Allison

Quick Project Update!

Hello Everyone!

Quick update to let everyone know production art is sent and underway. If you haven't filled out your survey or need to adjust anything, let me know! I won't lock addresses until closer to the actual ship date so any changes of address don't need to be a concern at the moment. You can email me at [email protected] if you have any issues or concerns.

In addition to this, my current Pintopia project Eternal Bloom: Dark Garden is still going until February 12th and you can check it out here if you are interested in a pin collection featuring statues, poisonous plants, and pretty flowers!



Thanks!
Allison

Be sure to check your emails or Backerkit profiles for the survey!

Thank you all so much for you support so far, and don't be afraid to email me if you have any issues!

Surveys Have Been Sent! 📣
6 months ago – Mon, Dec 15, 2025 at 07:19:26 AM

Hello All!

A large majority of the Smoke Test surveys were completed without incident, so I have sent out all surveys! If you didn't get an email regarding your survey, you should be able to see it when you log in to Backerkit.

Via the survey, you can finalize your pledge, add anything else you'd like, input your shipping info, and pay tax & shipping. Filling out your surveys will help us gauge how many of each pin to order, so please get them in as soon as you can! Remember, if you don't fill out your survey then I can't send your items to you!

I currently plan to lock surveys after the holidays have passed, or possibly sooner depending on how quickly they are filled out. I will send out reminders as time goes on!

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your order. You can email me here: [email protected] - I'll do my best to answer!

In addition to this, I also want to announce I will be participating in Pintopia 2026 with my project Eternal Bloom: Dark Garden! This project will be an expansion on my previous Pintopia project Eternal Bloom, but will feature poisonous, parasitic, and carnivorous plants!



If you would like to follow the launch of that project and see the designs as they are revealed, be sure to check out the teaser page here: Eternal Bloom: Dark Garden

Thanks!
