All 22 pins have now had their samples completed! This is so exciting as now we can finally see what the finished product looks like! See pictures below!
It’s so satisfying to see this project I have worked hard on for so long come to life! Now that the sample pins have been approved mass production will start!
We are currently June 9th. I had projected to be able to ship out the pins by end of June, however this is a very big pin order, almost 1000 total pins are being made this run! Therefore, there’s always a bit of a possibility they arrive slightly behind my projected timeline. In addition, I will have to grade all these pins once I receive them, place backing cards, and package your orders, which will take some time, so it’s possible that I might have to send them off to you in early July instead of end of June. That being said, it’s not set in stone yet and I will keep you guys updated every step of the way!
Progress Photos!

Here's some progress photos for some of the pins in the End of An Era Enamel Pin Series!
The molds are done and I'm currently having some sample pins made before mass production in order to review the pantone colours I chose in order to make sure everything looks just right.
As you can see from the pictures, some of the enamel colours haven't been filled yet but we can start to have an idea of how they're coming together. I'm loving the look of them so far!
For those unfamiliar with how the pin making process works, the enamel colours have to be filled and baked and afterwards the pins are buffed, that's why, since we are in the middle of the process, the pins aren't perfectly flat yet and the lines aren't all showing thorough perfectly yet. The screen printing stage will come later as well so for now, they don't yet have eyes/facial lines/blood etc.
I'm excited to be one step closer to seeing the final result! I love seeing progress photos and watching the pins come together!
Proofs Complete, Sample Pins in Production

Good morning, everyone!
I have an update for all of you! The 22 proofs have now been finalized. Since the last update, I had been communicating with my manufacturer and making small adjustments in order to get the best possible results.
I've now approved the proofs and requested a sample of each pin to be made before we move into mass production. This way, I can confirm the pantone colour selections I made will look perfect in the finished product. If there are any issues, colour changes can still be made at this stage.
I was told that I should expect the samples to be done in a week or two.
Once I hear back from my manufacturer, I will let you guys know!
Have a great day, everyone!
Enamel Pin Manufacturing Process Begins!

Good evening, everyone!
I have some exciting news! With your surveys mostly completed I was able to decide how many of each pin design I should order so that I can have enough for my backers as well as enough extras for any pre-orders as well as additional extras left over for angeldelysstudio.com
In addition to that, the funds from the Kickstarter have cleared!
Therefore, I have let my manu know and I've completed the initial payment for the pins and the production process can begin!
I've been told by my manu that due to the large number of designs, 22, it will take up to two weeks to finish the proofs. Once they're finished, they'll be sent to me for approval.
I'll continue to keep you guys updated throughout the process! Things are moving along now! 🤩

For everyone who didn't back the Kickstarter, these are also available for purchase on the Pre-Order Store here: https://endofanera.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders and they will also be made available on angeldelysstudio.com once all of my backers rewards have been sent and pre-orders have also been sent. The angeldelysstudio.com update will likely happen within the first half of July.
Have a great afternoon, everyone!
