Hey, so unfortunately I've got a couple serious issues delaying being able to get your packages out.

The first is that a few pins have quality issues in most or all, mostly the "white" dango which was supposed to be a warm off-white with white print instead being...grey


I requested they remake them because it just looks...bad, and it also means the pic they sent me a while ago that I approved of the metal colors was edited or just in really inaccurate lighting. Because it was absolutely not grey in that pic:


Not as warm as we wanted but not the tone it came out as either. She also lied about the rest of the pins being fine because there really are a lot of green and pink with random splotches in the eyes...

The other designs most affected are pink lemonade and the bonbon, the first has a ton of metal issues all on the eye boba, and the bonbon's problem is the print is incomplete and not lined up right

Because of this I can't do dango orders or blind bag orders over 3+ right now but about half each of the lemonades and bonbons are okay so some of those with no issues can go out.

The non-pin-related issue is because of the govt shutdown. I'm putting that in backer only info.

Geode pets ends tomorrow and currently available to pledge for are catfish, lizard, and snake! Please share the campaign on social media if you know anyone who'd be interested it really does help alot.

sorry!!!

Here it is

Reminder that surveys are locking on October 10th end of day! There's still 8 who haven't filled them out. After I do that then I'll make sure everyone's being charged the correct shipping (so for people who also backed Midnight Springs, that's none) and have the qualifying moths attached. Then you'll all be charged October 13th. 3PM EST

Also, Midnight Springs' surveys finally went out so if you did back her too make sure you fill it out!

I received an email a few days ago (technically only yesterday because it was hanging out in my spam for a couple days apparently sorry about that) about having the 10 pins to qualify, and I realized pretty late that I didn't have a way to pledge for all 10 uniquely that makes sure there won't be any duplicates. The 10 random spiders tier doesn't guarantee you'd get all unique ones because I really will be picking them at random. So I made a pledge tier that's $140 so it's still discounted based on the individual choice pricing and includes all the unlocked spiders except taro boba! So if you get that you'll still qualify for both moths for free too (I'm adding those to orders after locking them). I enabled it as a possibility to switch to, so if you go in the survey you can switch to it this way:

It will save you about $20 off of the price per pin that's included in the set of 6 option (which is about $15/each)

China is on a long holiday right now so I don't have any updates about the pins themselves (they're not here yet), but I do have a teaser page up for my campaign that will cross-collab with Midnight Springs!



All of my pins for this collection will be really glittery with transparent enamel on top, like these close ups of her gorgon and cat paws show:

So the print is under the glitter and won't cover the glitter at all.

I'm rushing to finish at least 4 designs (2-3 other animals + cross-collab) because I do really want to get these made but work has been kicking my butt. So right now it's not the final designs on the banner, but that will be fixed before launch and I have quotes already too based on the features and everything. Please follow along on my teaser page if interested, I didn't realize I have to have enough follows on there for them to believe it'll get funded before I can even submit for review, so I'm on a time crunch for that too...ouch.

Here's her launch party page too!

I'm still finalizing my freebie cross-collab pin but hers is Golem:


Also, now that I'll have return backers for the first time I'll have a return backer freebie!!



This is Midnight Springs' bat mold but what you might not know is that in 2021 with her ita bag campaign she did a lot of collab designs with people on her mini bats (something like over 30 colorways of that mold have been made because of this). My colorway actually outsold everyone else's! So this is the same print design but this time with cat eye enamel!

It will have the same effect as cat eye nailpolish (magnetic and shimmery) which is why it's mocked up like that.

Might be able to get an early bird sticker design made too.

Sorry this feels so fast and sudden. Definitely were trying to get our campaigns ready sooner. life really happened

Thanks for being so fast with the surveys!!

Hey everyone, I realized it is actually better logistically for me to apply that credit for backers of Midnight Springs on the lock date (October 10th) instead of right now, one reason being that otherwise it will complicate international pledges too much.

So please do continue to fill out the survey even if it says your order total includes shipping, because through me it won't be charged. Only through her. You won't be charged when submitting my survey, only on Oct 13th after it's been locked already and the credits were added.

You're already in a segment:


And that means that you're all already sorted, so please don't worry about being missed. Unless there's a backend error, it won't be possible to miss your pledge when applying the credit

For anyone who didn't also back her, you will be charged shipping through me as normal

Thank you!!
