PRODUCTION UPDATES + timeline!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 08:41:01 AM

Hello folks!

Hope you've been well! Thanks so much for pledging to this project - we're nearing the final days/hours on the kickstarter so thank you very much for spreading the word / backing  the project!

I mentioned before that I ended up jumping ahead a little due to realizing that the manufacturing companies close for the holidays in february so production maybe get delayed slightly (although not by much!) 

so here's an updated schedule as to what's currently in production + what's still being prepped for production: 

- (K)NIGHT PINS - in production

- EAT THE BIGOTS PATCHES - in production

- (K)NIGHT COLLAR PINS - in production

- EAT THE BIGOTS PINS - already done from when i originally ordered them, just need to re-order them! 

-stickers - finalizing the last two designs and then i'll be posting them on the updates page + sending stickers into production once KS funds are in my account 

- print - in design/production stage! 

- tote bag design - in design/production stage!

- backing cards for all pins - in design/production stage!

- mailing /packaging - once folks confirm mailing + pledges I'll know a accurate amount of how many mailers i gotta order for packaging purposes + mailing costs! 

OKAY PHEW -- sorry for the delay in the print and tote designs - i'm currently working without overtime for a big day job event so i've been coming home around 9pm these last two weeks !! i'll be posting designs soon thanks for your patience and support!!!!

best wishes, onwards + upwards,

michi + the wolves 

✨COLLAR PIN PROOFS ✨
over 5 years ago – Thu, Jan 03, 2019 at 06:10:20 PM

Sorry for spamming with updates but!!!!!!! the manufacturer I'm working with got back to me with a proof for the collar pins and i'm !!!!!!!!! very excited!!! and i hope you are too!!! 

also a note since I made a tiny mistake when making the reward goals because I honestly did not expect so much support -- backers will have the option of choosing the collar pin via backer kit surveys if they are in the 2 or more pin tiers (FIRELILY, GLADIOLUS, AMARILYS, WINDFLOWER and CHRYSANTHEMUM) -- once the kickstarter ends! 

i'm off to work on lining up all the ducks in order for a smooth production schedule ! thank you very much for your support and kindness!!! 

 much love,

michi + the wolves

✨NEW REWARD TIER+ PRODUCTION UPDATES✨
over 5 years ago – Thu, Jan 03, 2019 at 06:55:14 AM

hello lovely folks!! thanks so much for your support Q A Q!!!!!!!!! 

we've unlocked stickers (currently working on a few designs in between day job assignments and other deadline based work right now!) and I've added a 

✨new reward tier✨ - which is!! : at $15 or more, your choice of a EAT THE BIGOTS pin or the (K)NIGHT wolf pin and the iron on patch! 

also a note! If folks want to do a combination of pins if they are in the 2 or more pins tiers, then you'll be able to do that once backer surveys go out once the kickstarter ends!  I should have mentioned that earlier but I didn't expect to unlock all the goals so quickly!!! 

also on the production side / what's cooking in terms of timelines:  

and if folks are interested in how this kickstarter is being broken down in terms of estimated cost i'll list the estimated cost for what I'm being quoted for next to each item! 

• (K)NIGHT WOLF PINS - sending the design off to the manufacturer who I used for the EAT THE BIGOTS wolf pins for a quote + digital proof - I'm making 100 of these babies !!! -- so cost is a little more since I'm used to being quoted for 50 piece orders (estimated: $262 + shipping/tax, plus backing cards + packaging)  

• EAT THE BIGOTS PINS - since I'm using the same manufacturer as I did for the initial run and they have my digital proof on file along with the quote and everything else, these wolf pins are ready to go into production once I get the funds ! (estimated: $205 + shipping/tax, plus backing card + packaging)
  

• IRON ON PATCHES - I went ahead a little!!! and had just enough in my paypal to cover the iron on patches, so those will be going into production soon - I'm waiting on the digital proof which, if I like how it looks I'll post a update letting folks know and once patches arrive, I'll be sure to post pictures :")!!!  (cost: $178.71)

• CHAIN/COLLAR PINS - I've gotten a full quote from the manufacturer  with shipping and tax costs - it's a bit more than what I originally was quoted but it's okay! the extra funds from kickstarter (even after the fees/% that kickstarter takes out) covers the increased cost. (estimated: $203.78 , plus backing card + packaging) 

• TOTE BAGS  - I'm looking at a few manufacturers for these and I'm still working on the design so they're still in Early Stages of production in terms of ideas etc - i do have a few designs which I'll post up soon and see which ones folks like! if anything, maybe i'll do super small batches of tote bags with different designs, who knows! (estimated: ~$250-$300, looking around so price isn't final!) 

• STICKERS - usually i'll print these at home and cut them by hand but my at home printer has died and so i'll be using a manufacturer - one design is currently done, working on a couple of more designs to make a little set for you folks! stickers will be included with EVERY TIER as a free add-on as a little thank you from me to you for all the support!!! (~$40-50? depends on size/quantity/number of designs)

• POSTCARDS - working with a few design ideas for these!! going with FIREBALL PRINTING for these , maybe they'll be metallic-y and extra shiny ;)! Fireball Printing has a super fast turn around time so I should get these in the beginning of February once the funds hit. ($25 -$45 depending on quantity!) 

• backing cards for pins/sleeves/mailing supplies - should be covered after the final quotes from the kickstarter! international shipping has increased prices for pin production etc so all of the extra pledges really do help out a lot! (roughly around $150-$200 combined?most likely less!!) 

okay phew I think that's everything! I'll be in touch soon with more updates as soon as I have them!

thanks again for spreading the word and for supporting this kickstarter campaign!

much love + thanks ,

michi + the wolves.
