Shipping Underway - but WORM PIN MISSING!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Aug 08, 2024 at 04:26:15 PM

Hey all!

Packages are going out daily now but we've identified an error -

It looks like there was an error with the Worm Minipin add-on and it was NOT added to any of the Pack Lists that were printed! This means if you ordered it and your package is shipped, it will not be in there.

If you ordered the Worm Minipin and I've already packed your order, I will ship it separately!
If you prefer a $5 refund, just let me know and I can do that as well!


If you receive your package and anything else is missing please contact me ASAP at [email protected] and I will get a replacement out to you as soon as I am able.

Also, my UK backers who also backed Bird Crimes - your collab pin from me will be packaged with you Bird Crimes order. 

Thanks!
Corvi

Heads up - Shipping is Starting!

Rejoice!!! Shipping is Starting!

I already started with a few international orders since those have the longest travel time, I will begin buying labels and shipping packages this weekend! I plan to go slow and steady through August to ship out about 400 packages prior to the combined shipping -

Combined Shipping Option

If you are one of the 300+ backers who opted in for combined shipping on Ken's Bird Crimes project survey, your items will be combined and shipped together a little later on, some time in September.
I missed several UK backers on this due to a technical error with how the UK orders are set up, sorry!  So I've already shipped and you'll get your stuff super early without the combo package. 

Thanks and I can't wait to get you your stuff!

PS. Reminder - Gryphon Tapestry for sale!


Buy HERE!
These will be available in the future as part of my next crowdfunding campaign, but I had ordered a supply in advance for Anthrocon... well I missed the convention due to illness and now I have a stock burning a hole through my basement storage space.
All purchases have FREE shipping (US only for now) and come with a FREE 3in vinyl gryphon sticker! 

Locking Addresses, a Gryphon Tapestry, & Thank-you bird art!
about 2 months ago – Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 08:14:05 AM

Hey all!

This is a relatively long update since I missed quite a bit of time due to having covid for 2 weeks! ew!!! I now have all the pins and sticker sheets, I am just waiting on all of the final packaging materials to arrive and then I will begin the long process of shipping ~800 orders! To do this, I need to lock addresses in BackerKit, so you will be getting an email in case you need to change your address. If you do not need to make any address changes, no action is needed.  

Shipping Timeline

I'm going to go slow and steady on fulfillment so I don't make mistakes or burn out from doing this on top of my full time job and shop, but I am planning packaging and shipping to be finished by the end of August. Slightly ahead of schedule!

Combined Shipping Option

Ken and I are also working on figuring out some way to combine our shipping for those of you who ordered from both the Backyard Birds and Bird Crimes projects, and offering an incentive for those who opt-in. Particularly for our international backers. We expect the Bird Crimes pins to be ready for shipment in mid-August so, at most, this would be a couple weeks delay on your Backyard Birds items. I will be back soon with more info on this.

Gryphon Tapestry for sale!

I have a limited number of Gryphon tapestries up for sale on my new website!

Buy HERE!
These will be available in the future as part of my next crowdfunding campaign, but I had ordered a supply in advance for Anthrocon... well I missed the convention due to illness and now I have a stock burning a hole through my basement storage space.
All purchases have FREE shipping (US only for now) and come with a FREE 3in vinyl gryphon sticker!

Thank You Cards

I've also recently finished the design for the Thank You cards! Everyone will be getting a 3.5x5in card in their order :) I kept it small so it can fit into the smaller bubble mailers. The two most popular pin designs are the Mourning Dove and the Blue Jay, so I painted one and made the other the thank you sticker. Check out the artwork below!

Thanks and I'll be back with more info soon!

CANCELLING ANTHROCON
2 months ago – Wed, Jul 03, 2024 at 08:49:09 AM

I am so sorry, but I will NOT be able to attend Anthrocon or do in-person pickups.

I'm crushed. I came down with Covid last monday, was sick for 5 days, but then began to feel better and started testing negative. after testing negative for covid for 3 days, I tested positive again today and have started having symptoms again. 

I need to stay home for the health of myself and everyone else. 

I'll be working on healing up for the next few days, I will need to get the sticker sheets shipped to me now and I can start shipping orders as soon as I get those and I'm back to healthy.

Sorry again, I'll miss you all!

Anthrocon Pickup Reminder!
2 months ago – Mon, Jul 01, 2024 at 06:10:27 AM

 Hey all!

This is a reminder that I am offering an at-con pickup option for those of you attending Anthrocon!
I will be located at Dealers Den table G20.

In person pickup form:
https://forms.gle/MHiMC6og12JztPmw9

This form will CLOSE at the end of Tuesday to give me enough time to pack orders prior to driving over on Wednesday!

I am also working on finding a location to offer an in-Pittsburgh non-convention pickup option for those who are in the area but do not have convention badges.

Save me some time and get your shipping refunded or credited towards additional purchases. I'm offering a cash refund for shipping or an in-person shop credit of up to 1.5x your shipping cost to be applied to convention purchases.

Just fill out the Google Form here so I can have your stuff packed up for you at the convention!
 https://forms.gle/MHiMC6og12JztPmw9 

Hope to see some of you there!
