Brids of Australia Enamel Pins and Keychains!

Hi everyone,

Doodle here, we have less than a week left for Brids of Australia!

With a week left for the campaign we have a good chance of unlocking the keychain and Orange Bellied Parrot by the end!

For all US backers who are pledging both mine and my cross-collabs partner, we may be trying to work something out where all my end of pledges will be sent as one shipment to Ash, to make shipping significantly more affordable in the face of tariffs and customs costs!

Washi Tape and most items have been updated in add-ons! If you edit your pledge, you will find more sweet deals!
 
Support us both for the freebies! Link to her campaign here!


We are super close to unlocking the next two tiers! A pre-order shop will open at the end of the campaign as well, with some stickers also becoming available in there!

The UV Reactive Pin has been unlocked with a lot of the biggest stretch goals! There's such a big selection to choose from now.

Thank you endlessly for your support :)

Hi everyone! It's me again with another cool update and-
7 days left?? We only have one week left! It's crazy, the time is flying byyyy and I'm hoping that in this last week, we can get the support we need to unlock the keychain and next Brid of Australia pin!
Your pledge brings us closer to unlocking the next keychain and pin! Every pledge will help us grow, and especially in the last week this will be super important so we can get as many designs available for everyone!

Also the Cross Collab Pins are starting to be produced! Pledging both mine and Little Birds Big Hearts will get you a mega cute Pin and Polaroid style sticker from us!

Below will have the updates on the poll and the washi tape!


I thought we were going to 50/50 again but the Swift Parrot just inches out! But, I have ideas for the Common Bronzewing as a keychain that will be so so cool!

Common Bronzewing Keychain ideas

Instead of printing the colors I rendered, I thought it would be nice to spend a bit more to potentially print on this rainbow holo film and leave those sections transparent during printing!
That way it's more reflective (haha pun) of the iridescence seen in the real birds! What do people think? I thought it would be a cool way to use a physical medium to physically interact with the sun of your area and have a bunch of pretty colours come out :)

Washi tape things

This is the near final design!
I was recommended a darker green before but I felt it would be a bit christmas-coloured? The gold diamonds was so nice but then for washi tape it felt a bit too ribbon-like?
But I want to hear what the people think! So I made a time-limited poll for you all to decide the direction this washi tape will take.

Hi everyone! Doodle here,

We got 10 days left! Thank you all who have backed and supported this project! All of the original brid enamel pins and keychains have been unlocked and we are about $197 away from reaching the microtier and $697 away from the next big stretch goal! I highly encourage people to share this project so we have a better chance of unlocking these.

‼️IMPORTANT INFORMATION‼️
$5000 Stretch Goal
If we happen not to fund the next pin, which has so far favored the mega chonky orange bellied parrot, I'm considering self funding the remaining amount so this big chonker will see the light of the world!
Pre-order store
There will be an opportunity to unlock more stretch tiers via the pre order store after the campaign is over, additional purchases will go towards the stretch goal, with stickers being added and possibly some original art! More information will be released over time :)

And the slightly more fun bits

I'm redoing the Swift Parrot vs Common Bronzewing Poll! (Again!) Because it was another 50/50 until I threw in a vote to try and make it slightly different lol, I MOSTLY FINISHED THE COMMON BRONZEWING DIGITAL RENDER!

Just the butt left to go hahaha! WE ARE DOING THIS POLL AGAIN
It will only be open for 48 hours, VOTE NOW!

And then, the flat electroplating render for the crested pigeon is in!
It will look pretty different to the render since it wouldn't be the same rainbow plating shown digitally, but I'm so excited!

Wow you guys absolutely want to see the Crested Pigeon in a metallic medium! Here is a more finished render of the final piece <3 It will be on a dark nickel metal, which will allow those colours to really pop!
When my manu makes a render, I will update you all on it!

Electroplated effects looks a bit like this- And because the mold itself is designed for hard enamel production, I spoke with my manu about how to distinguish the tail feathers, there will be a few changes to the initial design to make it blend seamlessly:

It has also become available as an add-on for those who want extras! And at a small discount for this campaign.
We are also super close to the next stretch goal, and would love to see the fat lil' parrot get unlocked at $5000! A huge thank you for everyone who has pledged so far, and if you haven't pledged yet feel free to check out the freebies you can get so far attached in this update and the Cross Collab and Freebie section of my campaign!

Thank you for all your support so far, I look forward to keep creating with you!

Hey everyone! Small update here, from Doodle!

Sorry for the slow-ish updates, but I plan to slowly work at it and expand the variety of things to offer in this campaign!

To offer more variety, a few micro-goals have been placed between the larger tiers! I hear people want more birds, I have made some adjustments so that there are unlockable items between the larger milestones!

The one I would love to know is what you would think about Australian Ravens holding a pride flag of choice, what flags you would want to see and what medium you would want to see it on (keychain, pin). Otherwise, enjoy the updated list so far! It is updated to $6500 so far though some of the images are placeholders!, but will definitely make more progress on microgoals if we start reaching over $4500!

Repeating this a million times, and my sincerity will always be the same. Thank you so much for your support, pledges and making these silly brids come to life! It brings me so much joy to see others enjoying them and bringing these to life to everyone. Your pledges 

Also wanted to share some lovely images of keychains that will become available as options from the pledges! I can see the endless 50/50s and a big interest in Victorian Crowned Pigeon and Swift Parrot in some of the polls, so I have already prepared some epoxy keychains to become available!
I really hope to make these pins, but my manu is absolutely amazing and had these prepared so no one would miss out on the variety of brids to come :)

And then other reminders about freebies :)
More Collab Birdie Freebies! - Ash and I have made TWO freebies each for those who back both our projects! In other words, two FREE pins and two FREE stickers!!

More details on their freebies can be found in this update!

I'm also super sick atm but we may be planning a way to have all US shipments from both projects be combined to reduce shipping cost!
