Thank you very much everyone who put their support in for ✨Oshi Pins✨
I appericate everyone who believed in this project. We didn't reach all our stretch goals but that's okay, we still have a bunch of cute pins to choose from. Read the rest of this update for info on what happens next.

- Payments are collected! Please be sure to check the status of your payments at this time cards may get declined due to various reasons.
- Surveys sent out! surveys are currently being built, from there you will be able to choose your pin options, change your shipping info, and be charged for shipping

Once these two steps are completed, production will begin!
Please standby for now as these things are sorted out and get excited for the pins✨

Thank you everyone it's been done!! As we reach the end of this campaign, you'll notice a lot of cancellations as well as new pledges happening- That's very normal. Do not fret! And now we have the pet set unlocked!! I was most excited for this one myself!!! I think the Pink Ribbon is a really nice pin~

Thank you everyone for supporting so far! And thank you for helping the project have a successful close out~!✨ 

The Pet Set is just out of reach!! Personally this is the one I'm most excited for, but what are you most excited for?? WELL THANK GOSH THERE'S A POLL FOR THAT!! Please take a moment to vote in the attached poll for "What pin are you hoping for the most??". It may be really important data for later~!

I wanted to share some pictures of the 3rd set of sample pins that came in! The 1st and 2nd sets came in prior to the project  launch. This time around I was testing different gloss options.

I have decided to go with a spot gloss style, full gloss or no gloss on select pins based on colors/patterns/etc. When looking at the photos you can see that the gloss really helps out dark, deep colors (like black) look more readable. It also helps whites look more consistent in printing. However on medium tone colors it adds a sort of shine that I feel makes the pins actually harder to make out. Lastly on certain designs I have tried spot gloss, where only certain parts of the pin have gloss; such as on the Crystal Ball. This is my favorite outcome, but only works on certain designs.

Overall some pins will have gloss and others won't for the ideal looks!✨

Other things to address: These pins are made of wood as you all know! Working with organic material means understanding the natural variants of it. You can see I ordered the Sparkle Pin a few separate times and the wood colors, while all the same cherry woods, do alter slightly from piece to piece. In addition to that some of the pins are smoother while others are rougher, this is also a natural part of working with wood. Personally I quite enjoy the natural differences, it brings a charm to the work :)

an extra extra big WOW!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Because I know for a fact my wonderful overly supportive Grog Gang was the reason this set got unlocked! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The Ocean Set is now unlocked! How wonderful!! I am very touched. I really eppericate how much you all belive in me! I am doing tons of behind the scenes work to try and get Oshi Pins more and more noticed ✨
You can help! I'd love if you voted in my poll (for those who haven't already)

I'll keep working hard for you in the meantime as we keep making out way to the next unlock:
The Pet Set! ✨
