Pins are here! + Board Progress + New Project
12 days ago – Thu, Jul 09, 2026 at 09:12:09 AM

Hey backers!

I'm happy to announce pins are here!!

And production on pin boards is wrapping up! 

We're still on track to start fulfillment this August 🎉

COMING SOON

We're taking part in a summer sale that launches later this month. If you remember the Holiday Market, it'll run like that. These are in-stock items being sold at clearance prices (because I need the space!). Unlike the Holiday Market, we're set up for EU shipping and will be shipping internationally!

Full disclosure: Because we are still fulfilling this campaign, the Spirits in the Waves pin set will not be available for purchase. (The preorder store is still open for that.) However, there's a handful of b-grade pins that are just not good enough to be shipped to y'all. This small pile of pins is being offered during the sale as mystery b-grades. Just being transparent so there's no confusion here.

Latest Pin Set

August will see the launch of "Pocket Change Pins." This is a group collab all about mini pins! You won't find anything larger than 1" here. :D

I'm working on a tiny lil farmer's market, and I hope y'all will check it out :)

I think that's everything for now!

Thank you for your continued patience! I look forward to getting these pins out to y'all. :D

Pins are done! [Photos inside]
about 1 month ago – Mon, Jun 08, 2026 at 11:35:13 AM

Hey backers!!

Pins have been completed, and I've got photos to show off!

These haven't been shipped yet, but should ship soon! With that in mind, here's an updated timeline :)

• Now - Pins are finished and should ship to me soon!
• Mid/Late June - I should have pins in-hand
• July - Pin grading. Please understand just how many pins are going to be shipped to me. It's going to take a couple weeks to go through them all and ensure all is accounted for/nothing damaged, ect. 
• August - Shipping will begin. 
• October - Hopefully be done shipping. 

This timeline pushes fulfillment to the end of summer/fall, which means we're not competing with convention/pride season! So I'm hoping for a smooth fulfillment. Due to the sheer amount of pins/backers, it will still take a couple months to pack and ship all the orders. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated <3

Okay, that's all. Photo time!

Production Update + New Project Launching Soon!
2 months ago – Mon, May 11, 2026 at 07:17:53 AM

Hey backers!!

I just got an update from the factory 🎉

I don't have any completed photos yet, but these production photos are looking really promising! I'm stoked about that octopus. Look what a heckin chonker he is! 

This was a huge order, so I don't anticipate seeing pins in-hand for a couple months yet. I can spy some raw rays in the background of the owl photo, but we know this isn't all the designs. 😆 So there's still much work to be done. 

What's on the horizon?

I've already begun work sketching out designs for Pintopia 2027. If you're a Pokemon fan, you have an excellent chance at guessing what next year's theme will be. 👀

I'm also launching my first ita bag tomorrow!

It's an ita dice bag, inspired by a d4. And it comes with an ita portfolio (think: an elevated traperkeeper), that's great for work, school, or more tabletop shenanigans.

Pledge Manager Completion Update
4 months ago – Wed, Mar 25, 2026 at 08:09:24 AM

March Update
4 months ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 02:52:26 PM

Hey backers!

Just touching base to let y'all know that I've finished the pledge manager and just sent out smoke tests to 15 of ya. Assuming those come back clean, I'll be sending out the rest of the surveys later this week. 

The pledge manager will be live for about a month. Once I feel I can get accurate counts from responses, I'll send everything over to the manu to get things rolling. 

You'll see another update from me next month - giving y'all a warning that I'm locking surveys. Then you won't hear from me until ~June, and at that time I'll be updating with photos from the factory (hopefully). We're on track for fulfillment this summer. :)

Couple quick housekeeping notes

Failed Pledges - if your payment failed, you will have the opportunity to fix your payment in the pledge manager. I highly recommend doing so. That's how you get your stuff!

Pay Over Time Backers - you won't see your pledge manager survey until your pledge is paid in full. Please do not panic if you don't see a survey this week.

Reduced Shipping - if you backed my friends' projects (Read the Rainbow and/or Picture Frame Pins), we promised combined fulfillment and therefore cheaper shipping. We don't know how much to credit until surveys are filled out, so you will see full shipping charges. Please rest assured that a credit will be applied to your account prior to cards actually being charged.

Local Pick Up Backers - you know who you are. Shipping will be automatically applied to you, just ping me and I'll remove that before cards are charged. :P

I think that's everything!

I have a busy year ahead, here's a preview of what I've been working on!

Collaborating with my friends over at Theys & Gays on ghost emoji pins!

It's a folio and an ita bag! Display your pins at D&D - and on your dice bag with the pairing Ita Dice Bag.
