This lil update is just for those who had a Pisces pin in their order - it's been remade and will arrive soon!

Here's a couple of photos the manufacturer sent through <3

As soon as they get here I'll get them packed and posted!


Thank you!

The Pins are here!!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Oct 03, 2021 at 08:41:29 PM

I spent the weekend checking the pins and picking the best ones for you all, they look great!

Pisces has a couple of issues - it's way bigger than it's supposed to be, and missing some of the face dot details, which I didn't pick up on when the rep sent through photos. So I'm reordering those and I'll contact the people who had a Pisces pin in their order.

But the rest of the orders will be sent over the next few days! 

Here are some photos 😍 The light in my studio at the moment is making the mint green look pale blue, but they definitely are mint! 

Thank you again everyone for making these pins happen! Ugh they look fantastic and I'm so proud to be able to add these to the shop!

Acrylic Brooches and Earrings are starting to be sent! Still waiting for the manufacturer to finish the pins
over 2 years ago – Mon, Sep 20, 2021 at 07:05:20 PM

Hey everyone!

I just thought I'd send through another update - I've finished almost all of the acrylic jewellery (except a few that I need to contact people about) and I've started sending the rewards that only had acrylic in them. 

The prints are done too, so everything that only had acrylic and prints in it will be sent this week! I'll pack the rest of the of the acrylic pieces ready for when the pins come in - once they arrive it'll only take me a 2-3 days to send the orders.

So a manu-related update (just in case you haven't read the previous updates!): they've finished all the pins, but they got the colour of the crab legs on Cancer (mint) wrong so they're remaking them.  I ask for updates every week-ish now, I'm just waiting for the Cancer remake and then they'll send them!

But here's a photo of all the finished pics they've sent me - I have the Sagittarius pin in mint already from when I ordered them done earlier this year, so I just reordered the black to be done with the rest of the zodiac (the black they sent me originally was a bit grey and I wanted the black of these pins to match each other!).

First few orders going out! I'm chipping away at all the acrylic+print only orders this week to get them sent.
While I wait for the pins to be finished and sent to me, I'll pack all the acrylic pieces on their backing cards so they're all ready to go!

Thank you all so much for your patience - I feel like you're all more patient than me lol! Please get in contact if you've got *any* questions at all 😊

More progress photos! Gettin' towards the end now :) postage will be charged soon.

Hey everyone!

I got some more progress photos from the manufacturer - they all look pretty dang good so far! 

....except they got the crab colours wrong on Cancer - they did purple for both and I had to be like "heeeeyyyyyy.... those are supposed to be pink with the mint skull!" so they're fixing that now. I am happy they managed to do the tiny shine on the eyes for that one though!

Still cute! :D


As for me, I'm getting towards the end of the long list of acrylic brooches and earrings! Making these has taken WAY longer than I thought it would, but I love seeing all these colours together, they look frickin' GREAT (well, I think so anyway)  :3

My work bench has been a mess of acrylic pieces for weeks 🤣

A bit of clean up to do on the paint, but I'll do that when I polish and check them before posting!


Speaking of postage: I will charge cards for shipping in about a week from now, as I'm fairly sure there were quite a few orders that were just acrylic pieces (no enamel pins, so no need to wait for them to be finished), and I'll be finished with all the acrylic soon so I can get them on their way!

There are still a few surveys that haven't been done yet, if you haven't received yours please let me know can I can resend it, or send it to a new email if need be :)


Thanks again, and I hope you're all doing well!

Another pin update!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 04, 2021 at 10:59:08 PM

Hey everyone!

I got these photos from the manu: they've sanded and polished all the pins back and done the plating, so the next step will be screenprinting the details!

For the acrylic brooches and earrings, I've finished laser cutting all the pieces, and I'll get on to gluing and painting now. 

I hope you're all doing well! 


Cheers,

Eden


OH and at this point I reckon the pins and brooches will be finished around the end of August! Well, fingers crossed for the pins, anyway - the brooches and earrings definitely will be!

I'll be charging cards for shipping (and any extras you might have gotten) before they are posted - if you've only ordered acrylic pieces, they'll be done in the next couple of weeks.
