Production Photos!

I thought I would share some production photos! The ammonites have been filed with glitter in this photo and have yet to be epoxied and plated, so they are not finished yet but they look awesome!
This is the emerald beryl pin sample. The only change I am making is to have the pearl powder just mixed in and not swirled to match the texture of the rock more. The translucent is dark because of the black nickel plating but I think it will look beautiful.
These are the only images I have gotten and I don't have any production timeline updates, but things seem to be moving along well.
I do have some limited pre-order spots for all of these designs up on my Etsy and I will also provide you all with a discount coupon closer to the pins arrival if there is anything from my shop that you would like to combine with your Kickstarter pins!
Lastly, I think there are one or two of you that have not filled out your backer kit survey. If you are having issues with it, please send me a message so we can get you taken care of!
Thanks for your patience and I cannot wait to see these pins in person!

Progress Update!

Hello everyone!
The pins were paid for after the Lunar New Year holiday ended for manufacturers. I just got back the art proof from the manufacturer and confirmed everything so the next step is getting the molds into production and samples of the transparency for the beryl and amber designs. Hopefully those go along quickly and wont need too many revisions to get things right.
I will share progress photos in batches as I get them but if you would like smaller updates as things happen, feel free to follow along on Instagram, where I will be more likely to post whatever it is I get when I get it.
I'm currently working on finishing up a collection of pin displays that will be launching on my Etsy on the 5th as well as some limited pre-order spots for these pins and some new designs as well.
Thank you for your support and patience and I hope to have some exciting updates for you soon!

Surveys will be going out via BackerKit once all errored pledges have been fixed! Backer kit will allow you to add on any items to your pledge that you would like as well as select the items that you added to your pledge. The surveys will be sent to the email address associated with your kickstarter account and from there you will click that and fill out the information. Unless you decide to add on additional items through the store on backer kit, you will not be charged by them.
The sooner all of those surveys go out and get filled out, the sooner I can get a final count on everything. Kickstarter takes about two to three weeks to transfer the funds, which falls sometime during the Lunar New Year holiday in China. Most factories are on break during this time. As soon as they come back, the order will be placed and I should get a more accurate timeline of when the pins will be finished.
Thank you for all of your support so far and I look forward to getting these pins made and sent out to you!
