December Sample Progress

Progress is still frustratingly slow right now, as we are still waiting on another round of samples with the pearlescent revisions under the clear enamel. I don't have updated samples yet to show you yet, as none of the revised art (with the Plumeria Dragon's fix on all the other designs) have yet to be shown. Though we are expecting it any day since it has been well over a month since that revision group was sent off. I'll post as soon as we get something with a photo update from the manufacturer.

Thank you for your continued patience while we trudge through.

Campaign Reminders:

Discord since that makes it easier to contact me quickly if I've managed to forget to update here. Link HERE to the Discord server. Which is dramatically faster than here, and faster than email.


  • Survey will stay open though until samples are complete
  • Until Survey lock, you can manually update your address, add more pins / stickers, or select different stuff if you have changed your mind. You can even message me if you want to swap around your stickers for pins to some degree.
  • The Pre-Order store will be open until samples finalize as well. So if you missed out, you still have a chance to get them steeply discounted.

If you are a backer that can't find your survey, feel free to email me so I can try to help you out. Otherwise you can try this first: Survey Recovery Page

See you all in January (or sooner if samples wrap up with luck)!

Monthly Update: November
10 months ago – Tue, Nov 04, 2025 at 09:01:24 AM

Sample Progress

The past two months have flown by, I really thought I had updated in the start of October. However, part of that is because not much has changed, samples are still in progress and I'm only just starting to get in the revisions to see after waiting the past month and a half for them. As we were testing several fix ideas to get the pins more in line with intended look between this campaign, pin club, and Rainbow in the Skies pins. We had a lot of back and forth to figure out options that wouldn't hike the price up too much. (As due to tariff crazy, we are trying to sample as little as possible so we don't use up as much funds in case tariffs are high when pins are complete so we can make sure to deliver the product.)

Discord since that makes it easier to contact me quickly if I've managed to forget to update here. Link HERE to the Discord server. Which is dramatically faster than here, and faster than email around the upcoming holidays.


Here is a summary for November for Bouquet of Dragons:

This is the only sample we've gotten an update on for this campaign from our manufacturer: Plumeria Dragon:

We intend to use a similar pearly effect to get the colors to work correctly and show their underlay metal properly. This was the most incorrect initial sample, that would benefit from the suggested test sample from the manufacturer.

Monthly Update: August - sample progress
12 months ago – Thu, Aug 21, 2025 at 03:25:32 PM

Sample Progress

1st round Samples arrived in the mail yesterday for me to inspect in person, hence the delay in getting out a monthly update. For the most part they look good. Though we will need a second pass on most of the designs. They are a little too clear, which I'm honestly confused by. As this is the typical way I work for most of my work. The details with such reflective metals makes the designs a bit hard to read for their size. So I will be looking into a few options, either matte metal finishes, or lessening the hyper-clarity feel of the enamel fill in some areas.

I do not have any updated photos, as the reflectivity makes them actually hard to see in still images right now. I will likely post some videos soon on my Discord since that makes it easier to gauge. Link HERE to the Discord server.


Here is a summary for August for Bouquet of Dragons:

  • Survey are still open, 7 backers still need to fill it out who have been charged!
  • Survey will stay open though until samples are complete
  • Until Survey lock, you can manually update your address, add more pins / stickers, or select different stuff if you have changed your mind. You can even message me if you want to swap around your stickers for pins to some degree.
  • The Pre-Order store will be open until samples finalize as well. So if you missed out, you still have a chance to get them steeply discounted.

Monthly Update: July (in-progress samples)
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 25, 2025 at 08:34:55 PM


Samples are in-progress, but here is a look at them thus far:

ALL samples lack their clear enamel fill areas, screen print, and some of the expected details. However, most are looking pretty great. They likely will need some adjustments, but I can't say for sure until the first round of samples is complete.



Here is a summary for July for Bouquet of Dragons:

  • Survey are still open, 16 backers still need to fill it out! I sent out reminders a little bit ago.
  • Survey will stay open though until samples are complete
  • Until Survey lock, you can manually update your address, add more pins / stickers, or select different stuff if you have changed your mind. You can even message me if you want to swap around your stickers for pins to some degree.
  • The Pre-Order store will be open until samples finalize as well. So if you missed out, you still have a chance to get them steeply discounted.

See you all in August, when samples are hopefully more complete!
