Hi all! 

So I'm working on the enamel pins which will be on offer in the Volume 1 Kickstarter.  The main pin will be Nellie Nelson, Nick's doggo!! It's gonna come with attached to a nice bit of card too (but haven't designed that yet).

Firstly, a bit of context! These are the first four merch tiers that will be on offer at the moment:

Tier A - PDF of the book
Tier B - BOOK
Tier C - MERCH SET. Book, enamel pin, signed bookmark
Tier D - MEGA MERCH SET. Book, 3 x enamel pins, 3 x prints, sticker sheet, signed bookmark.

Hope that makes sense! Could change of course, but that's the plan at the mo. That also gives you an idea of the merch I will be designing and sharing with y'all on Patreon over the next week or two. 

So, I have two questions for you!

1. Which one of these designs do you prefer! Note that 1 would not have any sort of shiny metal - the metal parts would just be black.

2. I need to design two more enamel pins, to be on offer in Tier D. If you have any ideas for this, let me know! Would you like to see another set of Nick and Charlie pin designs? Or perhaps a shoe each? Or something else entirely? Let me know! So in total there will be 3 different pins on offer in the Kickstarter :)

Hope that all makes sense. No need to comment if you're not particularly bothered, but if you have any thoughts do let me know :) I just like sharing these things with you at the design stage and hearing your opinions!

Lauren Frey

Oh my goodness, Nellie! Definitely the first! <3 <3 <3

Jessica Sloan

I like versions 1 & 2 of Nellie!! I like the rose gold on the Nick/Charlie pins already but her eyes are a little funky looking with the rose gold imo sorry :/ Shoe pins would be adorable too! Or maybe rugby cleats/spikes and Charlie’s drumsticks?? For their different interests?

Have to start saving to have tier D!!!!! I preferer the first one! Also I think you could do a pink with both Charlie and Nick together and another with the shoes 😻

Second Nellie pin!!!

Sheila Loosevelt

Would all of the non-white parts of 2 be shiny metal? That's my vote if yes. The shoe idea is cute (bc those are like the best panels I love them) or maybe u could do enamel pins of other characters? Like Tori, etc. I feel like that might not work if people haven't read the other books but maybe that's another project? Weren't there two other designs for the nick and Charlie pins? Would they be those or something else?

I like one best! But I also like two!

I think Nellie design #1 will work best, having the outline. And for other pin designs, I think having different Nick & Charlie designs - or even both of them in different close-up poses - would be awesome! Could you do the rugby celebration Nick-picking-up-Charlie pose or would it be too detailed for a pin?

Katie Knight

Definitely more into the first pin with the black outline, I’m not a fan of the way the metal looks. Maybe you could make a pin that has to do with Nick and Charlie together. Like one of each of their shoes on top of each other or their faces smooshed together cheek to cheek. I can’t wait to give you all my money.

Oh I second the person below who suggested Nick&Charlie on a pin together and then the second one could be their shoes together!

aliceoseman

Yes - #2 would be totally shiny apart from the white parts, the pink tongue, and the black eyes!

I love the gold outline on three, but the eyes don't look quite right - if you went with that one, could you colour the eyes in black, instead?

aliceoseman

That's probably too detailed for a pin - they can only be up to 38mm long. Lovely idea though!!

Jenna Susannah

I like one or two the best! And for the other pins, maybe olly, Tori, or Tara?

I really like the second one!!! Also the shoe pins would be adorable ♥️

Anonymous

my vote would be for the nellie #2!!!

Anonymous

I vote for 1 but I like 2 as well :)

Anonymous

1! ...but 2 is okay too.

Mat

I like the 3rd because it looks like Nellie with superpowers with the eyes like this, but in truth, i think the 2nd one is the best. For the other pins, it makes more sense to be Nick & Charlie and not other characters, especially since it's the first book... I like the shoes idea but another design would be nice! Maybe with different outfits, like... more autumn-y? If that makes sense.

I think Nellie pin design 2 is the best. For the other two pins, what about the two Nick and Charlie designs which didn't get made as part of the last pin set? :)

Nat

I love 2! And I agree with Tiagma—the original pin designs would be so cute.

Dudmuffin

I really like the leaf motifs you use between panels. I think that would be a cool idea for a pin.

Anonymous

Big fan of 1! But in terms of other pins I agree with Dudmuffin, that would be sweet!

Anonymous

The first and second designs are my favourites. I would love the other two pins to be of Nick and Charlie, either something new or the previous designs :) also can't wait to spend all my money on tier D haha

Anonymous

Pin #1! And for the others, maybe their shoes and then possibly a broken fountain pen, since that’s kind of what started it all? Gonna buy the hell outta that mega merch set, tbh

sebastian “bash”

I like 1! And I think a pin of Nick and Charlie together would be awesome!

Anonymous

I LOVE the first one

Anonymous

I love the first option! I have some enamel pins with black outlines already and they are some of my favourite pins! For the other pins, I like the idea of their shoes (especially if you make the pins smaller), but you could also maybe have just their faces, or for one have them together on one pin? Or even have “heartstopper” with some leaves around it (that might be a bit too detailed but I can dream 😂) 💖 Good luck figuring out the last two designs! Can’t wait to back the kickstarter. ☺️

I love doggo 1 and 2!<3 also Nick and Charlie pins woud be great!

Anonymous

I love Nellie one!

Anonymous

The 1st Nellie ....I also like Kara's idea of having "heartstopper" with some leaves or flowers around it

Anonymous

YES!!! Now I can’t stop thinking about that, that would make an awesome pin

Anonymous

I like the first Nellie the best 😁 I also think Kara’s idea of having “heartstopper” would be a cute pin! Or Tara and Darcy! Or other Nick and Charlie pins! So exciting for this 🎉

Alex

I like number 1! I'd also like Nick and Charlie pins, or the shoe idea is also pretty cute.

Jennifer S

looks pretty unanimous so far but also gonna put in my vote for pin #1 :)

LJ Zee

AMAZING!!! Would LOVE Nick and Charlie pins! Ones of their iconic shoes would also be adorable and subtle. I just adore them (and YOU!).

LJ Zee

Also, will there be limits to the amount available for each tier? Would love to get tier D, but I’m worried about it going too fast and missing out like I did with the pins! ❤️🙏

Anonymous

I like the first design the most. The others are super cute too ♥️. But I do have a question, when is the kickstarter going to start? Like when can we buy all that awesome stuff. Cause I can’t wait. I’m super exited ♥️♥️♥️

Anonymous

#2 is the cutest! <3

aliceoseman

Nope!! All of these four tiers will be unlimited :D (there will be higher tiers above that, which will probably be more limited. Once I've officially confirmed what the tiers will be, I'll post them for you to see here on Patreon!)

aliceoseman

Not for a couple of months yet, I expect! I'll let you know when I have an official launch date :D

LJ Zee

YOU ARE THE BEST, ALICE. Cannot wait to spend alllll the money on merch!
