I can get rough estimates together this weekend for general regions.
The exact shipping fee will be calculated in the pledge manager post campaign based on pledge weight and address. But the estimate should be a good ballpark!

The red lighting against the Smokey blue grey is so gorgeous. And the knots/smoke! <3

I appreciate that they’re low maintenance and don’t take up much space. It is definitely about the cumulative routine though. I also have 88 houseplants and the aquarium is a 165 gallon monstrosity.
I always loved animals, but sadly my energy levels are at capacity for doing a good job for them!

Like… I don’t need to know all of the dominant, recessive, and co-dominant ball python genes… but the research rabbit hole beckons!

Isopods (among other invertebrates and reptiles) are things I enjoy researching and imagining keeping. Alas, I know my daily creature maintenance plate is full with my cat, dog, and fish. It’s still fun to learn about.

I plan on doing 3 more unique pin shapes with 1-2 variants each. Dairy Cow, Orange Dragon, Ember Bee, Gestroi, and Cuban Spikey are what I’m looking to design for next! bit.ly/BK-IsopodCol...

I got some rubber duckies in for the first design. The cappuccino and ember bees are also really neat!

I’m working on a series designs for an Isopod enamel pin collection on Backerkit. (Prelaunch here: bit.ly/BK-IsopodCol...)

No worries. I can see how the wording on the dragon pin comment was confusing.
Most enamel pins are manufactured in China, including those with middle-men in other countries. Right now there’s a pause in tariffs which took US to China tariffs from 150% to 30%. Not ideal, but more manageable.

Though having experience with a manufacturer independently might be useful and something I could bring to the table, there are also concerns about what happens when the tariff pause is over.
I’m glad you’re still interested in them though! I really liked the designs that Sin and May made for them!

The pins I’m talking about are ones that I am producing as an independent artist!
The pins with Flight Rising are somewhat on hold. They are something that is produced by the art team and FR as a whole, and will have logistics fulfilled by Hivemill.

Nothing quite this organized! I’ve been trying to do more studies this year so that I can expand my anatomy knowledge. Still unclear how much of it is sticking, but if even a little is retained, it’s worth doing. :)

She’s beautiful! I especially like how her hair frames her face.

Thank you! I’m getting samples made up of both!

After discussing it a bit with my manufacturer, we moved the glitter accent from the wings to parts of the cloud/star swirls. That way we can have the details of the screen print and the glitter (in a place where there might be sparkles anyway!) at the same time.
I hope I didn’t overdo it, haha!

In May I received a couple of my isopod test pins, which had one spot color and 4 colors of hard enamel fill. So I feel good about the production process on things that don’t involve specialty finishes! (Need more experience with those for stuff like the dragon pins.)
