Which Oracle Will it Be?
8 months ago – Tue, Apr 09, 2024 at 12:54:17 PM

Hello backers,

It's been a wild week and a half for me as I've tried to salvage my work computer.
At the moment, I am porting my entire harddrive onto an external and getting access to files that have been out of reach for a bit now. Work computer is still busted, but at least I have the files in hand now!

This means that at the least, the Alleyman's Tarot Pin can be handed off to my pin manufacturer to figure out the best way to make it work, and the Sun, Moon, and Star design I'd already put some work on are now in reach. Neither of these are in their final forms for manufacturing, but now I have the files to work with again!

Do want to be clear though, the Sun/Moon/Star designs are NOT final. I have a bunch of work to do on that moon and sun in particular, and the rough background is going to be redone with the trees and mountain. Those aren't staying.

Which of the Oracles Will Join Us?


That said, I now want to hear from you all, which of the Alleyway Oracles are we including for the Oracle Pin?


The hunched alleyway merchant look, the fanned cards with the mysterious face partially revealed, the Oracle handing us cards and crowned, or the dark oracle, card floating between her claws? Or you can vote 1, 2, 3, or 4. That works too! : ) Poll attached below!

The Final Pin Set!

It's also been clear from the votes that people want another set of 3 Pin-cards for our final pinset! So it will be. I am adding two new pledge tiers, one that grabs all the pins from this project (including our 9000 goal pins), and another that includes ALL the pins entirely, including the pub-gob extras. And throwing out the Add-On for the mysterious final card-set of pins, which I will work on and reveal before we close out here!

That's another $20 add-on for 3 more pins, or a $70 pledge tier with one of all the pins on this project, or a $100 tier with all the pins on offer, the ones from this project PLUS the Zoetrope, What We Possess, and Take Me to the Dark pin sets!

With that, I can say this project is FULL of goodies. I'll get to work on the next set of cards to share what they are when we hit $9000, and in a few days we'll see which Oracle I'm pin-ifying!

Thanks all!

The Oracle Arrives | What would your hearts desire for a 9000 goal?
8 months ago – Mon, Apr 01, 2024 at 06:48:44 PM

First off, if you received this you may not yet be a backer! Please come check out our Alleyman pins, they are amazing and people are coming running for them! Be sure to back today and help us reach our next goal of $9000!

Well, as my work computer is in the shop until a bit later this week, I don't yet have a pin design for the Alleyway Oracle nor the Sun, Star, and Moon! However, I've went ahead and put up add-ons for those items. You can grab them to your heart's content! 

I am so impressed that we rushed up to 6500$ so quickly, with no advertising too!

So since we may yet hit 9000, I would LOVE to hear from you all in the comments below, what more would you want?! Another big pin, a set of 3, or something else entirely? What would complete this set of tarot pins??

Let me know, and I'll make it reality <3

(Reminder that if you want to back Aimee Cozza's project and can't because you're in a country she isnt shipping to, email me and I'll give you a link to a hidden pledge tier! [email protected])

The Sun, Moon, and Star -- What Will Our Next Big Pin Be? | Can't Back Amee Cozza's campaign?
8 months ago – Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 03:23:39 PM

The backers have spoken, and it looks like we will be adding a Sun, Moon, and Star pin set to our project! I've already got some drafts going on those, but unfortunately my work computer decided to take a long nap and is in the shop for repairs. So in the meantime, we're about to blow past the $6000 too, which will give us a large pin, like the Alleyman.

I'm plugging the poll in here, but let me know in the comments as well: What large pin would you like to see? The Alleyway Oracle from the amazing photos on that project? Maybe a Publishing Goblin in full body? Or how about one of the Lords of the Oracle Dice?!

Let me know your thoughts, and I'll get to work iterating the next pin designs!

(PS, if you want to back the partner project but can't, because she's not shipping to your country, email me at [email protected], I have a special link that can get you a hidden pledge tier on her campaign, just for us! I'll ship her pins to you, so you'll still be able to back both!)

Talk again soon with some new designs!

Well On Our Way! | What's Our First Addition?
8 months ago – Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 03:42:18 PM


Hello pin lovers and alleyfolk alike!
First of all, woah~! I didn't know if we'd make 1k over the lifetime for pins, but we're already at 3k+!

So, I'm attaching the poll here for us to vote on what our first stretch goal was at 3k! What is another set of 3 cards that we might want to see popping off here? And check our Community tab to see the other poll on what our next big pin should be.

And if you have other thoughts, let me know in the comments here. What cards should be up next to be seen in enamel pin tarot card form? The options on the poll include The Queen of Bombs and friends, The Sun, Moon, Star trio, or Justice and others. I'm very flexible, and have some fun designs in mind and drafted up alike.

Or should there be an Alleyman's Tarot logo pin...? Wouldn't that be awesome??


Thanks for an awesome first 6 hours friends. It's nice to do a project with a clean and small focus. Pins are great for that! The project, and its direction, is in your hands now.
