Zodiac Mermaid Enamel Pins

Small Update
about 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 09:23:11 PM

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to give an update as to where we are and what we are waiting for. So far we have received the following:

• Art Prints
• Stickers
• Boxes
• Tissue Paper
• Other misc. shipping stuff

We are just waiting on the pins! We have a small update on those as well! please see the below images of some of the pins. If you are not familiar with the process of how hard enamel pins are made the images may look funky, but that's ok! They look a little overfilled because they will be smoothed out and polished to have a smooth finish and then it goes on to gold plating. They are almost done! The last image is of the backing cards they will come on. At the very end you can see all the boxes stacked up against the wall.

Also I just wanted let everyone know that the shipping labels on the smaller boxes may slightly cover the logo on the front. I was planning on getting smaller labels but the post offices here only allow a certain size and they cannot be any smaller. I thought about putting the labels on the bottom, but I didn't wanted the boxes being flipped upside down too many times. 

Boxes update!

Hello Everyone!

 Boxes are starting to arrive. I have received the first few boxes for the Zodiac Collector's set and wanted to show you all what they look like! 

Since I do not have the pins yet (More pictures coming this week hopefully!) this post is more to show you what to expect if you ordered either the Collector's set, or a 13 in board.

Inside will be recyclable paper shreds for padding, the pins you've ordered, and any stickers or art prints you've ordered. If you ordered the Collector's set you will receive all of those as chosen in your survey.

Early Look at Pins, and Charging Cards

Quick update for everyone: I have received some pictures of the pins! They have not been gold plated yet, so this is a very early look. 

Also, Backerkit has started charging cards, so please be on the lookout for this! If your card is declined or something comes up, please let me know.  I will be re-trying declined cards in a few days.

Hello Everyone!

I will be finalizing the order totals today. I hope you all are as excited as I am to see everything!

I have received the stickers and will post a few pictures below. They turned out really great and I'm really happy with them! Pins are in production and in the coming weeks I will have more updates about how they are coming along and when I should be expecting them. If you have not completed your survey, please, please, please message me! there are still about 20 people who haven't filled theirs out.

Here are some of the stickers!

Locking In Orders
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 18, 2021 at 11:37:52 PM

There are still a few backers who have not filled out their survey, so if that is you, please complete it! :) I plan on locking in orders on Saturday at around 2pm PST meaning you will not be able to make any changes. Please make sure your address and any add-ons are correct in your Backerkit survey so nothing goes missing! The Pre-order store will be live until then as well, so if you know someone who might be on the fence about any of the items let them know the deadline is coming up very soon. On the plus side that means that we are getting closer to finally being able to see these pins come to life! 

I have received proofs for the art prints, and all of the stickers so expect an update about those tomorrow! (spoiler, they came out amazing!)
