New Stretch Goal Options!
6 months ago – Fri, Oct 17, 2025 at 10:15:51 AM

 Hello Everyone!

As we get closer to the launch of this project, I have been developing additional designs as Stretch Goal options. What I have so far are styles of enamel design I haven't made before, but have been interested in for a while.

First is a small hinged pin design that would open up like a little book:



This design will measure about 1.5" or so and features the usual black nickel finish, as well as gold glitter enamel.

Next, I was also interested in a possible enamel grip accessory for a Kindle or other e-reader to go with the theme, so I made a scene from The Fall of The House of Usher for it:



This is just a rough mock and is not indicative of the final design, but ideally it would have a magnetic base option. Since it is so different from the other designs, it would be more of a premium pin price point.

I have added a poll below to gauge opinion on a option like this. Also feel free to comment your preferences! Would you like to see more mini book options? Maybe glow enamel for the Usher design? Please let me know what you think!

I will be back before project launch with more updates! See you soon!

Thanks!
