Omamori Spirits: A lucky charm pin project

Yo, everyone!

Yesterday 📌Pintopia went live, launching over 200 projects at the same time.
Confident *smug face*, I was expecting for the base goal to be unlocked somewhere during the first 24 hours-- NOT on the 39th minute. 🤯
You guys! Really?! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
And it didn't stop: All pins were unlocked within 17 hours.🎉


The final stretch goal is the wooden standee! As I'm currently figuring out the right dimensions there won't be early sketches to share. (Unless you find it exciting to see how many mm the roof moved up and the stairs back to the left...) But once the approved sample mockup's here you'll be the first to see it!👀


It's been a chaotic not-even-24-hours and I can fully understand if you lost track of which freebie you get with each project! So, here's an overview:

All clear now? Good! How about more freebies?
I'd love to create more rewards for you as thanks for all the support. New community achievements will be set once the dust of the first few days has settled.💨

Tell me which kind of reward you'd be interested in most! Once unlocked, it will also be available as add-on at the end of the project, so no one needs to miss out. And let me hear it in the comments if you have suggestions! (For now, let's leave additional pins out as they're more suitable for stretch goals.)

That's all now! Again, thank you so much for this mind-blowing start and have a great weekend!

Hi, everyone, good evening from Germany!

Quick update as I prepare for the project to launch--

*CONSTRUCTION NOISES IN BACKGROUND*

It's time to reveal all pin designs and ask for your feedback!
As you may have read, 'The Guardian' will be the first pin to unlock. With it comes the mould that will also be used for future pins.

Which pin should be unlocked next? Vote for your favourite spirit in the poll! Pins will be put as Stretch Goals in order of the amount of votes they get. >:3

Hello again, everyone! Just 9 days left; the countdown has started...🏃‍♀️💨

Wow....remember that goal of reaching 100 followers? We're now over 160! Those matching stickers got unlocked with a bang and a boom! @_@

Thank you for being here with me and my first-ever crowdfunding project! I've been around as (Pokémon fan) artist for many years and am thrilled --in both a good and a scary way-- to explore this new tool to make really cool stuff.

Omamori Spirits will be part of the 🕹GAME OVER banner, a collaboration* of game-inspired projects within Pintopia. If you back 3 or more participating projects you'll receive a special sticker from each of those projects as freebie.

✨This glitter sticker of Ho-Oh will be my freebie, and as usual (members of my Sticker Club know) it will be sturdy, UV proof and dishwasher proof. :3✨

As I only worked with wooden pins before the process of preparing enamel pin files was daunting... BIG THANKS to my fellow Pintopia creators and friends Myuna Art and Appeltjesgroen for whipping guiding me in making the files manu approved!


That's it for now! Next up will be the reveal of the final 4 designs and a poll for the order to unlock these in.👀

Have a great rest of your week!

Pintopia is a collaboration of projects launching at the same time, boosting each other's visibility. A banner is a collaboration between projects that have something in common within Pintopia, bringing backers more rewards. Creator pairings can also collaborate, meaning backers of both their projects get an additional reward. As revealed in the previous update my partner will be Myuna's Mystery Mix - A cute Gacha enamel pin series.

It's time to reveal the free gift for backers of both Omamori Spirits: A lucky charm project and 

Myuna's Mystery Mix - A cute Gacha enamel pin series! The wonderful Myuna Art and I are collaborating to bring you these two exclusive, double-sided woven omamori as special reward. These omamori will NOT be available as add-on at the end of the campaign.

Follow both of our projects before launch to not miss anything:

(You'll also receive digital freebies as thank you. :3)

Community achievement reached!🙌
The project just hit 100 followers, meaning that all unlocked pins will come with a free matching sticker! These vinyl stickers will be printed matte with a transparent border. They'll also be dishwasher proof, so you can stick them on your water bottle! Here are some examples from my Pin Club* on Ko-fi to give you an idea:



Wishing you a great start into the new year,

With less than a month until launch, we've entered the next and final phase before going live! This is the stage for updates, (stretch) goal reveals and, very importantly, giving your direct feedback on the project. The project page has been updated with more info.

Goals! Counters! Statistics!📈
It's time to add the first community goal: If this project hits 100 followers before launch all backers will receive a matching sticker with their selected pin! Meaning that if you choose all pins at the end of the project, you'll receive all 8 matching stickers.✨

Lemme use this opportunity to reveal the 4th pin: 'The Healer'!



That's it for now! More updates will roll in in the coming weeks, but I promise I won't flood your mailbox. ;)
The update posts should be open for comments now so come and say hi! :3

Happy holidays, everyone!🎄
