Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great week!
I've received photos of the rainbow slider this morning and it turned out perfectly! This is my first sliding pin I've done so I wanted to make sure it turned out just how I imagined it. We are just waiting on a few finishing touches and the pins will be on their way.
I'm hoping to have these shipped out by the end of the month however my store is always crazy busy this time of year and I'm only one person but I will try my best to get these shipped out quickly. I expect grading these pins to take roughly a week since the order is so large. I'll be sending out final notices for address changes sometime next week if there are no quality issues with the pins.
If you'd like to change your address before then, you can do so via your backerkit survey.

Hi everyone!
Things are moving along over at the factory and more designs have been finished.
The remainder of the pins should be completed by the end of this month but I'll keep you in the loop if any delays happen. The manufacturer ran into a slight issue with rainbow frog pin not having a smooth sliding mechanism thus getting stuck so they are working to fix the issue with those. I'll post another update once those are fixed!
Stickers and Keychain arrived this morning. The keychains are double sided as shown here:

Hello again! I've received more photos from the manufacturer today!
First off is what I like to call the customer service frog -- the quote is too relatable! This design is completely finished.
We also ran into a small issue with the seraphim frogs. For some reason, the screenprint belly came out too dark.
I have communicated with my rep about this and they will be modified to have a lighter screenprinting. The top left is the fixed version:
This may tack on a few days to the manufacturing process but I'd rather you guys have beautiful pins! We are still way ahead of schedule with these ♡

Happy Tuesday!
My manufacturer sent me over some photos this morning of a few of the completed pins! Currently only these 5 have been completed. My rep expects the rest of the pins to be completed by the end of November which means we are way ahead of schedule!

Hello! My manufacturer sent me over photos of some of the raw pins so I thought I'd share. This is one of the first steps to pinmaking where the zinc alloy metals are injected into molds to create the base of the pin. He let me know that the remainder of the designs will finish the casting stage this week and enamel fill will begin next week!
