Moth poll and shakers!!!
over 1 year ago – Sat, May 17, 2025 at 04:29:28 PM

Hi! I have pictures of the shakers with decals applied, and I also have moth designs to vote on!

These are super super limited and were kind of a last minute decision. Super limited as in like 3 for Blueberry and 8 each for Strawberry and the milk tea. Hopefully someday they can be restocked, if they're claimed quickly we'll have to see about getting more in. 

The holographic strap on the milk tea one is purely decorative, if you get that please don't try to use it to carry the charm. The strap is small and the decals are a bit fragile. Any orders with these'll have to ship in boxes.

The final milk tea will have my name on the lid, the image during the campaign will be updated to reflect that!

Moth alternatives (all soft enamel + epoxy):

1) gradient green gummy
anodized green shiny metal with gradient uv print under green translucent enamel and 3 color screenprint

(If you have the pink gummy from the moths pintober, this is similar but because of the printed background will look a lot different in person)

2) pink hard candy
 dyed reddish-pink metal with completely clear enamel + 3 color screenprint


3) pink/blue taffy
dyed pink metal with opaque pink enamel of the same pantone and blue and white screenprint


4) the original jolly rancher-inspired colorway
anodized blue shiny metal with translucent blue and magenta enamels and magenta screenprint. based off one of my previous collab designs (the moths mold is a collab between me and Midnight Springs, so it says so on the backstamp, but most of the designs from her releases are just hers)


I also updated the banner! and finally have my finished logo (you can see in my profile pic). I'll probably update it more later but right now I like it.


Launch is super soon now (oops) so this moth design poll will only be up for a bit over 48hrs! If you're seeing this in your email, please click on it to let me know your vote.

Thanks!

Finalized stretch goals
over 1 year ago – Tue, May 06, 2025 at 03:46:22 PM

Hey everyone,

So here's the final list of goals:
BASE: Blueberry (+ taro + mini moth no matter what) $1200
  1. Strawberry ($1700)
  2. Banana ($2200)
  3. Pink Lemonade ($2700)
  4. Caramel Apple ($3200)
  5. Cherry Bonbon ($3700)

Maybe more ideas later, I want to do a 3 mini pin set for dango.

I'm still going to do what Midnight Springs is doing in having the first 2 stretch goals available on launch because of their popularity. This means people can add them to their pledges at early bird pricing without having to go back and edit the pledge if they do unlock in the first 48hrs. The rest if they are unlocked in 48hrs will have to be edited in as earlybird options still.

If they aren't reached within 48hrs oh well, I won't be asking people to make up for the difference. Just consider it an incentive :) Outside earlybird time all unlocks will be added as normal price when reached.

The reason she and I won't be doing generic listings like "1 earlybird pin" is because I'm pricing some spiders differently and also it helps with counts so that speeds up the process. I can just order as soon as I get the money instead of after most surveys are filled.

I'm working on different moth options to put in a poll, too. That will be next update in a few days and I'll just go with the winner. Sorry I don't update more often I work fulltime as a cook.

Also Elena (Midnight Springs) gave me some liquid shakers to put spiders on (drink shapes) so those will be available as add-ons.

Next update with moth poll will be once I get those shaker transfers in (will post pics)!


1st launch party update!

Hi! Nice to meet you. 

I've never done anything like this before, so to start I'm just doing a poll. What would you like to see as the first stretch to the campaign?

Other ideas are mochi, hanami dango set of 3, maybe more fruit...I'll sketch them out next month.

Thanks!
