Stories of Shadow - A Pintober Project

Hello again!

Making an update now before launch to feature some of the great freebies options that are a part of this campaign!

First off, since this project is a part of Pintober, I am offering a free sweet treat mini pin! 👻 When you back 3 or more Pintober campaigns and get a free sweet treat mini-pin from each of the artists you have supported! 🍬🍬🍬



In addition to this, I am again collaborating with my friend JBlake Designs to offer a free collaboration pin! When you back both her campaign and mine, you get a free pin from each of us!

Back both of our campaigns, you could get both the Pintober mini pins AND the collaboration pins!



Be sure to follow both of our campaigns here:



And finally for returning backers I am offering a free sticker with your pledge!



Pintober launches October 21st at 10am PST/ 1pm EST and for the first 48 hours I will have Early Bird pledge levels that feature reduced pricing:



☆An added update to the poll from my last post: It seems most people voted to keep the Usher design as a pin, so that will also be added to the Stretch Goals at campaign launch ☆

Phew, that was a lot of information! I look forward to the launch tomorrow and I hope you will join me on my campaign! Feel free to comment any questions you may have!

Thanks so much!

Hi All,

Sorry for all the updates, I was having some technical difficulties. The poll was accidentally locked and preventing voting, but it should be working now.

Let me know if there are anymore issues and if there are any questions!

Thanks!

 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!

Join me on October 21st for Pintober and the launch of Stories of Shadow!

The campaign will feature 6 designs to unlock based on the gothic tales and poetry of Edgar Allan Poe! Each pin has a design reminiscent of the engraved illustrations of that era with some fun features, like screenprinting and acrylic gems!

Here are the details!








There is also a free mini pin available as a part of the Pintober collaboration:



And ALSO returning backers get a free sticker!



I am so excited for these designs and I hope you are too? Let me know - which pin is your favorite?
