Ahoy, friends!

We're officially one week away from Pintopia launch! I'm busy getting the last bits and bobs in order. But before I get into that, let's celebrate our latest winning design!



He's really cool, right? This might be my personal favorite from this series. (I'm actually very terrified of invertebrates. Like, where the hell are your bones, sir?) I'm particularly excited about the half-raised metal under the transparent enamel. I've seen this in a couple of pins, but it's not something I've done myself. So I'm very hype. This will also be a 4" pin, so all those details will have plenty of space to breathe. :D

By now you've seen most of the designs planned for this campaign. I've still got a few secrets. And we'll need somewhere to put all these new pins. So, without further ado, here's this year's pin board!



These pin boards are handmade, measuring approximately 11"x12" (the sample is being shipped to me right now, I'll give it a proper measure once my hands are on it!) and will be available as an add-on and as part of the all-in tier. Thanks to the amazing Wayward Enigma for supplying them!

I heard y'all's feedback from last year - the bear paw was really heckin cool but fitting all the pins on it was like playing hardcore Tetris. So this year, I went with a more open design to accommodate more pins in different configurations.

Please do note that this is a production sample, and these pin boards are handmade/hand-assembled. If there are any major changes, those will be communicated via updates. But you should anticipate slight variations from sample photo to finished product.

But that's enough rambling from me! I want to hear from you.

What's your favorite revealed design thus far? What animals are you terrified of? How have you been brave this year? 

And vote in the new poll!

Hello friends!
The raccoon has prevailed!



There's a new poll for our next unlock, but before we get to that, there's one more design reveal I want to share! With this addition, I've revealed all the pins that will be stretch goals to unlock. (I do have others planned that don't need unlocking. :D )



This is my homage to the PNW giant octopus! He features translucent enamel over a half raised design underneath :D This will be the one oversized pin I have planned for the campaign. (Likely 4"!) Pictured with two pin posts, but I'll likely add a third.

Voting is now open! What is unlock #4?

The Orca!

It's very subtle in the mock up, but the dark blue ocean water has a pearlescent effect 👀✨

(Un)fortunately for all of you, I've finalized more designs since we last touched base. So this next poll will include four different designs to choose from. (Glad the decision making is your problem and not mine! haha) Which one should be our first stretch goal?

Hey folks!

While you've been preparing for the holiday season, I've been studying the blade 🗡 annnd preparing for Pintopia!

I want to give a hearty thank you to all the backers from last Pintopia. I asked for feedback on what you wanted to see, and you didn't disappoint. 😊

Launch Party for this campaign is now LIVE which means I'll be hitting you with regular updates as I finish preparing and also providing opportunities for more of your input. 

Starting with 🥁

This poll! 

The first unlock is your choice between an orca or salmon pin. Go vote now! The poll will close at the end of the year (HBD me), then we'll see another poll for future unlocks 🎉

Until next year 🌽
