Flora & Feather - Enamel Pins & Bookcharms - Birds, Flowers, and Dragons!

Oh my goodness - I can't believe we are here already - but we hit 10k!

The first 3 sets of pins and bookcharms are all completely unlocked! And I am upgrading the backing cards that the pin sets come on to be extra-large gold foil cards 💛 These will feature matching art to the set chosen, and be made the same as my high-quality gold foil art prints - so the super thick, soft touch card stock - as well as the gleaming raised gold foil finish.  Each pin set of three will come on this deluxe backing card. And the individual pins will also have a beautiful soft-touch, gold-foil card as well (though they will be standard-sized lol). These are going to be so shiny and beautiful!

**************************

And now (as I mentioned at the end of my last update lol) we are starting on the Crested Crane & Protea set!



And we already just hit the first stretch goal from this set as well!! 💛 The protea flower pin is unlocked! I am working on the design now and hope to have an update to share soon with some peeks at the design :) I can't believe how fast you are all unlocking these! But I love the challenge of trying to keep up 💛 ok back to protea flowers for me lol talk soon! :) 

Hey! I want to start by saying thank you so much for all the support and excitement for this project! 💙 I can't believe how far we've come in just a few short days and it means the world to me to be able to see these little shiny treasures come to life and bring other people joy!

I finally was able to catch up with the designs unlocked lol 😅 after the mad dash of how fast we took off lol and here is the last of the Iris & Honey Eater designs - the Iris Dragon:
 

I hope you guys love how it turned out 💙 this one was a lot of fun to design and my favorite of the dragons so far!

The pin is unlocked already - and we are steadily getting closer to unlocking the bookcharm as well (at 10k)!

Though this was the last of the planned stretch goals I had lol - I am excited to keep going off the path into the trees and make more designs from other paintings in the series! The next painting up for transformation is - Crested Crane & Protea.

As usual, we will be starting with the flower, and if we get there, finishing with the dragon :)


*******************

Aaaaand - another update lol - I've added a few options for pledges and add-ons!

I've added 2 new pledge tiers: A pin collector tier and a bookcharm collector tier. With each you can get 10 pins (or bookcharms) of your choice mixed and matched however you like :) - this includes with my Egyptian series as well! So if you have a bunch of favorites that are not grouped by set - this is the tier for you! 

And I've added 2 new add-ons: Now you can also add individual pins or bookcharms from my Egyptian series as well to your pledge :) There are 20 different designs to choose from - including many more birds! Ancient Egyptians really loved birds! lol 

So there are a lot more choices available now - to help everyone get exactly what they want :) 

**************

Thank you again, everyone <3 I am so grateful for all the support and happy to be making beautiful treasures for you! 

Now, I better get to work on starting the next design lol as I have a feeling it won't take too long to reach it lol 

So excited to say - we've unlocked both the pin and bookcharm for the Blue-Faced Honey Eater! And I was able to finish the design late last night to have it ready to share today:


I hope you guys love the new bird! Now, we have only one design left before the entire Iris & Honey Eater Set is complete - the tiny dragon! 😊

I hope you all are having a wonderful Easter and enjoying yummy treats and time with your loved ones! 💙

Whew - finished the Iris design!! 💙 I am really happy with how this one turned out and hope you guys love it too! This one is already unlocked from last night for both pin and bookcharms 😊 
 

And as I was putting the finishing touches on this one, the next stretch goal unlocked lol so the Honey Eater bird is also completely unlocked now as well. So I will have that one up soon as well! I am really excited about this blue set and can't wait to have all three finished to share! 

Oh my goodness - starting out day 3 with 200 backers and 9 stretch goals unlocked!! 💙 Thank you so much everyone! 💙 This has been so encouraging to see how well-received this project is. I love making beautiful things for people - and it is only possible thanks to everyone sharing their love and excitement - and it truly means the world to me. Thank you so much! 💙💙💙

Ok - I will stop gushing for a moment to give updates lol

Stretch Goals:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but we unlocked 9 of the 12 stretch goals I had planned. All of the Peony & Dove pins and bookcharms were unlocked yesterday - and we are halfway through the Iris & Honey Eater ones!


I had planned for these to take most of the campaign to unlock lol not the first 3 days 😅 so I am a little behind in getting these finalized. But I decided I wanted to take the time to make sure I got them just right rather than rush designing them to get them finished for the sake of getting the page graphics caught up right away.

But I thought sharing some of my early sketch ideas for each one would be a nice middle ground :) I hope to have these two new designs finished by tonight or tomorrow but again, I want to focus on quality not speed. But I think you will love them and they will be worth the brief wait! :)

Drawn to Dragons Shipping
Kaitlund has added international shipping to her campaign! :) 

I saw a few comments about not being able to get the bonus pins since she didn't have international shipping available to her backers. But Kaitlund and I spoke about it last night and she decided to go ahead and add international shipping to her campaign! :) 

So, I am excited to say that the bonus pins should now be available to anyone who wants to back both! 


Ok - I think those were the two main things :) and I am sure I will have more updates to post again soon. But in the meantime, I am forever grateful for all the support and will get to work finishing up these Iris & Honey Eater pins! 💙
