BACKING CARDS UNLOCKED!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 20, 2023 at 06:35:34 PM

At $17300 all 30 pairs HAVE NOW UNLOCKED! I've added 3 new reward tiers: "All 30 Large" & "All 30 Small" & "The Full Trove" -- At $20000 Backing cards for all pins have unlocked! I'll design 1 for large pins and 1 for small pins.

Hey folks!

Exciting news! We hit 20k! Which means BACKING CARDS!

I'm currently on the road traveling for work! Some of you may know one of the many ways I make a living as an artist is by traveling to events and selling wares of my artwork! I sell a lot of prints, other enamel pins, my book (which was my previous Kickstarter), game mats, original drawings, patches, and apparel sometimes! 

Since I'm on the road, I won't have time to create the backing cards until the latter half of June! I'll have way more time and energy to make some nice designs then.  

The next stretch goal is 30k and it'll unlock a new pair of pins related to the Cordyceps! Once unlocked, I'll share my ideas and concepts for the pin and would love your feedback!

I might even think up some new stretch goals to add to the list if we can make this happen. Let's do it! 

Thank you so much again, y'all! -Ki 

At $30000 a new pair of mushrooms inspired by the Cordyceps will be designed! -- At $40000 more stickers unlock! Some mushroom designs will be made available as freebies and add-ons! -- At $45000 Individual pins will become available as add-ons via survey for pledges $50+ -- At $50000 Old fantasy mushroom pins will be remade and available as an add-on! More to come?

ALL 60 PINS ARE NOW UNLOCKED! New reward tiers + tiny timeline update.

Bosworth the Toad is happily running away with his hoard of mushrooms!

WE DID IT! WOO HOO! 

All 60 pins are now unlocked and in record time! 

I'm so heckin' stoked! Thank you SO much, everyone! I've gone ahead and unlocked the first main stretch goal and added 3 new tiers -- "All Large Pins!", "All Small Pins!", and "THE FULL TROVE!"

You're probably wondering what the difference between "30 pairs!" and "THE FULL TROVE!" is: 

  •  "30 pairs!" - You get to select what pairs you want! You'll have much more flexibility with this tier; Maybe you want two of the Fly Agaric pairs for example -- You can do that!
  •  "THE FULL TROVE" - ALL 60 pins! You'll get 1 of each pin! With this option, pair selection will be skipped in the survey. You already know you want 1 of each! 
  •  "ALL Large Pins!" - All 30 large pins! 1 of each large pin design! (Big and detailed, but still small!)
  •  "ALL Small Pins!" - All 30 small pins! 1 of each small pin design! (The tiny filler pins!)

Note: You will still be able to add additional pairs as add-ons via the survey, no matter what reward you select! 

Heck yeah! Let's unlock more goodies! Backing cards are next! And then, CORDYCEPS! Can we do it!?

Small production update! My manufacturer has let me know making all the pins will take 45 - 60 days! I've pushed forward the earliest estimate of when I'll be receiving them by about half a month. I knew I'd be a little off with time estimates, so that's why I preemptively allowed plenty of flexibility for every part of the process! Nothing else in the timeframe has changed and delivery time is still the same. That is all! Woo-hoo for transparency!

Previously written: "Pins arrive on my doorstep around Mid-August to mid-September. This is a LOT of very detailed pins, so I'm assuming it will take a while to make them!" 

Update: "Pins arrive on my doorstep around Late-August to mid-September. This is a LOT of very detailed pins, so I'm assuming it will take a while to make them!"

Speaking of transparency, I added more clarification in the "FURTHER INFORMATION" section at the bottom of the campaign page. I'd appreciate it so much if folks could read the page before messaging me with questions. I'll be traveling for work over the next 3 and a half weeks, so I hope you understand any potential delays in my replies, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Thank you so, so much, everyone! -Ki
