Hey all!
Thank you for joining the kitty freebie poll, let's say it was a very close one until the end with several turns over the three day period!

The winner is... the black kitty!

But! The results were close, and the Calico cat was one (1) vote less than the black cat.
And even the least popular option, the orange one, has half as many vote as the most popular, which is a more even distribution than I thought this poll would yield. So this is a sign for me to try to get them all made!

The black cat will be the freebie, but given the interest in all the cats, I will put them all as unlockables in the post-campaign shop once it‘s over. The calico cat will get a special „almost won the poll“ discount :D


I hope you‘re all excited for your cats and flowers!

Hello everyone and welcome to the first pre-launch update of Witch‘s Garden!
As you may know by now, the main pin designs will be about poisonous flowers and herbs from the nightshade family, but surely that‘s not all a witch can grow. So I‘m here today to introduce you to the campaign promos.

(You didn‘t really think this would be a cat-less campaign, did you??)
I‘m in a bit of a twist, I made five variants of the freebie and can‘t decide! I need you to help me out :D 

… new this time! This time I want to try moving the pin freebies to something else than Early Bird / Returning Backer. In the past, you‘ve gotten a mini pin for each incentive, this time I want to try just giving out one more detailed, intricate full size pin instead, and make it a tiered stretch goal so that higher tier pledges get it first, but if we hit big numbers then I‘ll be happy to give it out to everyone.

How this will work is that if the campaign hits 3k, the highest tiers will get it for free, but if we hit 10k, eeeevery pin backer will get it, and some stops inbetween.
Also if there‘s a close second/third, mayyyybe some other variants will make it to the post-campaign shop! (Or maybe we have to do all of them haha)
 

As you may know, this project is part of Pin Quest, where many pin makers run campaigns at the same time and collaborate on a theme. Each participating campaign will give you a free pin if you back at least 3 campaigns. Here you can get this cute little fountain pen and journal combo as a mini pin!

And as usual I‘m teaming up with Mad Child Soul Art. (Check their campaign if you haven‘t) if you back their campaign and mine, you get this jar of very cute but unfortunately poisonous honey.

And of course I still want to reward anyone who has been loyal to my campaigns and everyone who will back early! This time it‘s stickers - as usual they‘re fully waterproof and can go inside or outside, or in the dishwasher!

I hope these incentives get you excited for the campaign. I know it‘s a bit of a change compared to the usual structure, but I hope this is a good compromise for everyone. Giving out up to 3-4 pins on a one-pin pledge is something I can only afford if the campaign hits high numbers, and in the past I‘ve just gambled on that fact while this time I‘m setting them as real guardrails, especially since this campaign is expected to run a bit smaller compared to cat-themed ones. 🙏 

Best,
Averil
