Thanks for everyone's support, we are now very close to unlocking the new design 'Marcella'!
If you want the collection of 8, I've added the tier for all 8 pins for $75. This means it's only $9.4 per pin (retail price after the campaign will be $12) and you will receive all the stretch goal goodies including stickers, bookmarks and one tote bag.
I have also included a new original art tier that includes the original art of dark color version of 'Gloria'. I have some process posted on my instagram if anyone is interested. :) It's done with markers, colored pencil and pearlescent watercolor in some areas.

I should also have some photos for the samples of "Aurora" and "Ylva" soon. Can't wait to share them with you. Stay tuned!
Best,

YAY! So we have unlocked $2800 for bookmarks and now we are getting close to goal #4 of $3500.
When this goal is achieved, I will include a new set of pins - Marcella. As you may or may not know from the last update, I included two sketches of pins to choose from, and in the end the lady design won from the final count across all social media (including your votes too!).
I've been working on her design last few days, and I hope we can achieve this goal!

If you have been following my social media, you'd know that I create polls for everyone to vote on the color scheme. So this design will be put up on my twitter and Instagram too, whichever got more votes would be the standard edition while the other will be limited edition.
For those of you who choose the sword, I'm including it as a smaller pin (1.25inch/3cm) for stretch goal #8 of $5000. If this goal is unlocked, I will include the sword pin for FREE for everyone that pledged 3+ pins and $8 as an addon.
One more week to go, I'm excited and hope you had a lovely weekend everyone!

Yay! We have reached stretch goal #3 $2500! Thank you everyone!!!
As promised, we will have tote bags for everyone who backed the $60+ tiers (this will include the early birds).
For the rest of you who wants tote bags too, it will be an add-on for purchase in backerkit survey if you are interested!

mock up for Ylva tote bag (final may vary)
Our 4th stretch goal at $2800 will be book marks!
For the book marks, I'm keeping the design pretty simple, but I'd like to print them on some special pearlescent paper. Because those type of paper is hard to print on, it's better to use the more graphical type of designs and leave it simple.
mock up for bookmarks
After the bookmarks, it will be really exciting for #5 goal of $3500.
I will design a new enamel pin and here are my 2 sketches. We can either add another lady to the group, or we can add a special sword design. Please let me know which pin you would prefer in comments?
Have a good day/night depends on your timezone and thank you so much for backing me! I'm excited to make more stuff!
Best,
Tian
Stretch goal #2 unlocked!

Yay! Now all the pins will have the cool metal caps!
For the next stretch goal of $2500, I will be making some tote bags. If you follow me on instagram or Twitter, you probably knew that I did some survey. But anyway, the final decision was to print the BW version on one side, and the colored version on the other side.
The tote bag will be included for free for everyone that pledged for $60+ tier, including early birds.
They will also be available as an add-on ($10) for purchasing in the backerkit presale.
B/W version (please note it's a mockup not final)
Colored side (Please note it's a mockup not final)
Hope these tote bags will help your grocery shopping and less plastic bags! :)
Best wishes,
Tian

Thank you so much everyone!
We have hit the $1500 stretch goal and that means everyone will get a vinyl sticker(s) of your chosen design(s).
The next goal at $1800 we will be upgrading all the pins with a nice metal cap. Maybe not super exciting, but I do feel it's nicer. Hope you will like it too.
