Latest Updates from Our Project:

🪻 The Final Week ◊ Campaign Housekeeping & Updates 🪻
8 months ago – Sun, Apr 14, 2024 at 12:59:46 AM

Alrighty, strap in because this is a big one! 

I wanted to expand on the previous update (which I'll admit was a bit hastily thrown together at the end of a very, very long day for me), along with completing and sharing further updates to various parts of the Foxwright Apothecary campaign.

  🆕   NEW PINS


To recap: the six new designs have been unveiled, and I hope everyone likes them! Existing pins also now have glittery accents!



These designs are likely to undergo some revisions, namely simplifying some of the lines on the skulls. I might also make some larger edits to the Dreamweaver Draught-- it's definitely headed in the right direction of what I'm aiming for, but it still feels off to me. I suspect I'll be simplifying the herbs and possibly adjusting colors. 

Additionally, there's an 8k stretch goal for a new freebie mini pin that has been met! This freebie will be given to anyone who pledges to receive three or more pins! There is a poll that is currently live to help decide what the design for that pin will be! At the time of writing this update, moon phases are tied with a yet-to-be-determined herb/plant.

  🌟  FULL COLLECTION TIER

A new pledge tier has been added to the project, for the full Foxwright Apothecary collection of 13+ pins, stickers, and any/all further additions at a 25% discount! 

  🌑  APOTHECARY ACOLYTE ⪼ CUSTOM PIN TIER

I'm trying something new with this one-- offering a limited number of slots for a custom pin designs to add to the collection! I'll work with you to help me design a pin of your choosing to add to the shelves of the Foxwright Apothecary and you'll receive 25 pins entirely of your choosing! These 25 can all be of your design, or any combination of yours and other campaign designs. Your pin design will be available for other backers to select and any leftovers will be in my shop after fulfillment. You will also be able to purchase as many additional units of your pin design as you please for a reduced cost than the general additional pin add-on.

This tier is essentially for sponsoring the creation of a specific pin design that you want to see become a reality!

  ❓   POLLS

I've created another poll as well for further stretch goals, which I have attached to this update! I'm curious to see if there's any interest for add-ons like acrylic charms, washi tape, buttons, etc. I think the Potion of Healing sticker design would make a fantastic charms, possibly the Foxwright Apothecary sign design from the campaign cover, too. I have a lot of ideas for different products I could design, it's just a matter of what you all want the most!

I'd also like to know if there's interest for further colorways of the crystal pin, contenders off the top of my head are rose quartz, ametrine, rhodochrosite, etc. Are there any other campaign pins that you think would also be good candidates for alternate colorways?

  📍   OTHER PINTOPIA PROJECTS I LOVE

I'd also love to take a moment to put a spotlight on some other Pintopia projects I adore and highly recommend checking out!


A Chibi D&D Party Pin Collection by Jellyjessbeans

This one might be one of my favorite projects out of them all! The designs and art is so thoughtfully made, and you must check out the absolutely gorgeous character prints that accompany the pins!


Flirtatious Fungass by Moo Moo Ink

I was so excited about this one before Pintopia even started, this pin design is both elegant and cheeky-- with a divine color palette to boot!



Femme Fatale Enamel Pins by JBlake Design

I love the graphic style of these deadly ladies, especially the use of flowing, intricate linework in the hair (or snakes, in the case of Medusa)! This project is the cross collab pair to the next project on the list!


 

Femme Forecast by Allison Weyda Illustration

Collab pairing to the above, these pins are simply stunning and well worth you pledge! These ladies are ethereal and so tastefully designed! And can I just say, these two campaigns are just perfectly paired and complement each other so well-- it's no wonder that they've held the top spot for cross collab projects!

 

"Hunted" Pin Set by Aimee Cozza Illustration

This pin set is beautifully haunting and weaves the next threads in an ongoing art series, in addition to supporting a worthy cause. I love this one for both its somber, dark tones and the use of pins as an art form to build upon an existing story and body of work.  
 
 

Angelology IV: Angels of Extinction by UltraInfinite

Another immediate pledge for me! This campaign's designs are just *chef's kiss*... the colors, the symmetry, the whole theming is right up my alley and I'm just dying to get my hands on these pins (the pastel African Wild Dog has my whole heart too)!


Horde of the Eclipse ~ Moth Dragon Pin Series by Lizbie Cafe

 Dragons will always have my whole heart (which I feel is no real surprise to anyone), and these moth dragon pins are spectacular! This project is delightfully whimsical, and each dragon is so unique and full of character it's hard to choose a favorite; though personally I'm quite partial to the Comet and the Atlas! I do love my earth tones...


🌑 New Designs Are Here!
8 months ago – Sat, Apr 13, 2024 at 04:04:38 AM

Hello all! The new (long-since-passed) stretch goal designs are here, in addition to some of the existing pins getting a glittery upgrade! 




Additionally, there is a new campaign incentive as an 8k goal! Anyone backing the campaign who pledges for three or more pins will receive a freebie mini filler pin-- design TBD! There is a new poll running for helping decide what the design for this incentive pin should be!

There might be some more freebies around the corner if we can reach 10k too...

--

So sorry for the delays in getting this update out to you! I’ve been dealing with some sinus issues on top of my usual chronic illnesses kicking my ass so it’s taken me far longer to pull these designs together than I would have liked.  With less than a week left on Pintopia, there is certainly much to get done!

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Foxwright Apothecary-- let's see just how far we can take it!

What should the Apothecary stock next?
8 months ago – Wed, Apr 03, 2024 at 01:43:40 AM

Hello everyone! I'm cooking up some new designs behind the scenes, and want to know what you guys would most want to see from the campaign, so I've created a poll to gauge which ideas have the most interest! And if you think you have a great idea that's not included in the poll, drop it in a comment-- I'd love to hear what you think would be cool! 

🦊 Fully Funded ⋯⁎◈⁎⋯ All Designs Unlocked 🦊
8 months ago – Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 09:56:27 PM

⫷ Wow, just, wow! All of the stretch goals have been smashed and each design is unlocked-- in less than 8 hours, I might add! ⫸

If I'm not mistaken, that makes this project Key & Crow Studios' most successful to date by a landslide. The previous holder of that position was the original Tastefully Spooky Collection on Kickstarter, which met all of the campaign goals in 48h (the final goal being 2k) and comparatively, only reached the current funding amount on the 6th day of the campaign. Not too shabby for Foxwright, at all. 🦊

This project and the world I'm creating around it has become incredibly personal for a myriad of reasons, and it means so, so much to me that the designs are resonating with so many people! This collection started as a small idea centered around what can, at best, be described of a "a vibe" that I just sorta ran with and saw where it ended up. There's a whirlwind of ideas that didn't make the cut for this selection of designs, but I don't expect them to all remain in the dark and twisting crevices of my mind forever. 🕯️



In a bit of unfortunate timing, I had to hit the ground running to take care of errands and non-Pintopia duties I needed to attend to, or I would have posted updates sooner! 🍄

⋘ Thank you so much to everyone who has backed so far, and let's keep the party going! There may be some further offerings hitting the shelves of the Apothecary soon for your perusal... ⋙
