Eternal Bloom: Dark Garden is an expansion on my previous collection of Eternal Bloom pins focusing on poisonous, parasitic, and carnivorous plants!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shipping Has Started
28 days ago – Mon, Sep 28, 2026 at 01:54:36 PM

Hello Everyone!

Quick update to let you know I have started shipping out orders and have packed about 60% of them so far. You should receive a tracking notification from Backerkit for your order if it has been sent. If there are any issues or concerns with your order, feel free to let me know at [email protected]

I also have been fixing the Pitcher Plant pins and adding the chain attachment. Here is the final result:


Thanks!

More Pin Pics - Shipping Starting Soon
about 1 month ago – Sun, Sep 20, 2026 at 04:44:01 PM

Hello All,

Just a quick update to share more pin pics and let you know shipping will be starting soon. I have already sent emails to finalize addresses, but please be sure to make sure your address is correct and updated if you have not already done so:


However, the Pitcher Plant pin came in with a silver jump ring instead of the black nickel chains, so I will be putting the chains on by hand as orders are fulfilled:



These are being fulfilled in succession with my other pin campaign, so I will keep you updated when the first packages go out and tracking numbers are assigned.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me @ [email protected]

Thanks!
Allison

New Photos + Pins are Here! 🎉
about 2 months ago – Thu, Aug 27, 2026 at 11:39:03 AM

Hello!

Sorry for the recent silence, but on a happy note - the pins are here!


These were sent over along with the previous Pintober pins and are with my project collaborator JBlake Design, but I will be picking them up this weekend! Once they are reviewed and given their backer cards, I can start sending out the orders!

I will also be charging shiiping soon and locking addresses so make sure to double check all your information is up to date!

You can let me know if you have any questions and concerns via my email at [email protected]

Thanks!

Small Production Update
3 months ago – Mon, Jul 27, 2026 at 02:42:57 PM

Hello Everyone!

I'm here to give a brief production update. The pins are in progress but there have been a couple of bumps along the way. Most are minor, but we did have one issue with the Venus Flytrap pin having areas too small or not being fully cut out:



I did some edits to the pin shape that I hope will give it enough room in those problem areas. Overall, not a big change:


Besides that, there isn't much to update, but I will share pics as soon as I get them. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns via email at [email protected]

Thank you for your patience!

Quick Update - Banner Incentives
5 months ago – Mon, May 25, 2026 at 01:30:39 PM

Hello Everyone!

There was an issue that came up after the end of the campaign where backers who backed the 3+ projects under the themed banner were not receiving the respective Bloom & Burrow mini pins from each creator in their survey incentives. Since this issue affected multiple projects, I contacted Backerkit to look into this issue. They were able to identify the outliers that weren't included and make a list of who was left out so I could add the incentive to those accounts.

This issue should be fixed and the Bloom & Burrow mini pin should pop up in your packing list if you qualify. I also make sure to cross check the associated incentive lists when it is time for packing, so this issue should be resolved.

In addition to this, I decided to include the Hellebore pin design as a design option since it was so close to unlocking. Art files have been sent to manufacturing and production should hopefully start soon!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at [email protected]

Thanks!
