Mytho Menagerie

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

The big, heavy, box of Mytho Menagerie enamel pins touched down in Denver today and will be making their way to me over the next few days! Excited isn't a strong enough word to describe how I feel!

The expected delivery date is June 11th, and I will be sure to post another update once all these pretty pins are safely delivered and I get to start grading and sorting them to prep for reward fulfillment. Get hyped!!!

The snawfus pins were re-made and the color still isn't as shown in the project photos... but a little better than the first try. Due to the tariff pause, I decided to accept the redone color in the interest of getting the pins delivered to me before the freakishly steep tariffs resume.

Even though the enamel color on the wing isn't as dark a blue as I initially envisioned, I do like the color overall, and I hope y'all like it too despite the deviation.
 
If you ordered the snawfus pin, and this color difference is a deal breaker for you, please reach out to me via email ([email protected]) before 12PM MST 6/11/2025 so that I can substitute the snawfus for another 2in pin design for you before locking shipping addresses. In your email, please provide your pledge confirmation number and which pin you'd like substituted. Thank you!

And finally, I will be locking shipping addresses on June 11th, so If you need to update your shipping info, please do so before then! With any luck I will have these pins shipped out to you ahead of the original timeline.

You're all fantastic, and thank you so much for your support and making these pins happen!

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

My manufacturer sent me photos of the finished pins in the wee morning hours!
 
Overall, I am very happy with how they have turned out:



If you are one of the 73 folks who ordered the Snawfus, you may have noticed that the wing color looks... minty green. Unfortunately, when the pin went through the plating process the enamel shifted color. 


The manufacturer is going to remake the snawfus pins and do the gold plating prior to filling the enamel color to prevent this. That being said, the wing color may turn out a less saturated blue than originally depicted in the campaign images, and this little hiccup may delay the shipment of the pins by about a week.

That's all I've got for now - I hope you have a fantastic day!

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

I've been collecting progress photos from my pin manufacturer throughout this week and I am so excited to share them with you today! Please note that these are work in progress photos, and the pins have not received their gold plating bath yet - this is a check for the enamel colors before they start work on the whole batch. 

I think they've done an amazing job, and I hope you think so too!




Also, the matte 3in vinyl stickers have been delivered to me! I am very happy with how they turned out.


That's all the info I have for now! I'll be sure to share any other progress photos with you as I receive them.

Have a fantastic day and weekend!

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

Here is a very quick update on the state of this project.

Card Errors:
There were some number of errored card payments when cards were charged for add ons and shipping costs - please check to see that your cards are up to date before I attempt charging those errored cards again on Monday May 12th.

Progress Update:
I've been quietly working behind the scenes getting all of the manufacturing orders submitted.

I'm happy to report that manufacturing for the enamel pins and add on stickers have been paid for and manufacturing is underway. I will share any production photos as they become available, but for now all there is to do, is wait. (It's the hardest part for me!)

At the moment, no news is good news, and I look forward to sharing any photos with you in the next few weeks.

Take care all, and thank you for your support!

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

What does this mean?

UK/EU Backers: If you're unable to complete your survey due to shipping limitations, please email me ASAP so I can set up a custom Etsy listing for you to collect shipping and fulfill your rewards once the pins are all ready to ship.

Thank you so much for your support and attention!
