Unseen Poison - Apothecary Diaries Zine

We are currently prepping packages and finalizing details. Address Changes will be accepted until Sunday, May 17th!

Please include your order number in the Subject Line or Body of the email!

Email to submit address changes is [email protected]

We are aiming for a late-May to early-June mail out.

The zines have officially shipped from the printer to our shipping moderator and are expected to arrive mid-April as they are coming from overseas!

The photos from the printer look amazing, especially the gold foiling.

The Essie Pins are expected to finish up around then too! They're currently in mass filling.

Expect an update in mid-April to check for address changes! Please wait to send in address changes until we request them!

The Tsumishii pins have arrived, and Mod Yowa is working hard on grading them all thoroughly!

Up next is news regarding the zine book! The printer has said that they are going on holiday soon for Lunar New Year but they are currently printing up the zine and should have it finished by the start of March and arriving in April since the zine is being shipped by sea.

Happy New Year! ✨

We are happy to say that the enamel pins are coming along nicely!

Full disclosure, we had to move the stretch goal pin by Essie due to issues with quality and trust with the manufacturer. This manufacturer was trusted before, but has since become unreliable.

The Essie pin is now in production with a more reliable manufacturer. As soon as we have an update on the mold/pin bases, we will provide updates.

The Jenn pins should be finishing up soon, according to messages from the manufacturer.

The Tsumishii pin is almost complete. The enamel and plating are complete for the pins, and the screenprint details have been approved. They should be ready by the end of the month!

We are happy to say that we are at 85% completion with production. Plenty of items have either arrived or are set to arrive in the next few weeks.

The metal bookmarks finished up and are currently in our shipping mod's possession! They are quite lovely, and @/andysocer (Instagram) did an amazing job with this design!

Next up all the paper prints and bookmarks have arrived! Mod Yowa has been sorting them for pre-packing so we can get out bundles out faster!

The prototype copy of the zine has arrived to Mod Lia who is currently painstakingly going through it looking for any final changes. Overall, the book looks pretty good, and a few minor font sizes will be fixed in the mass production version. The gold foil and hardcover is absolutely stunning.

So what are we waiting on? The corrected foil washi tape is set to arrive next week. And what is taking the longest are the enamel pins.

Please note that this project went with intricate designs for enamel pins and we're working with some of the best manufacturers to guarantee high quality pins. Hard Enamel pins, such as those in this project, are handmade by workers. With the large volume of pins, they are taking longer to produce.

☘️🪷 Production Update - Nov 28th, 2025 🪷☘️We're happy to say that the Printer's Proof of the zine arrived! Mod Yowa flipped through the book for us and it looks gorgeous! It will be forwarded to Mod Lia for final formatting corrections and proofreading.

The paper bookmarks have arrived and the prints are set to arrive either this week or next. The corrected Gold foil washi tape will be on its way soon.

We are currently looking at a 2026 Q1 Shipment of the zine and all the goodies. We wanted to provide the best quality products and printing possible.

Hello, Thank you for your message! The metal bookmark has finished and is currently being shipped out according to the manufacturer. The prints are finishing up. The zine printer's proof/prototype is being made before mass production and should arrive in the next two weeks!

Please note that the enamel pins are taking longer due to the complexity of the designs and quantity being made (the pins that came with bundles and the stretch goal pin number over 300 pieces being handmade). Enamel pins are handmade and take time longer times to produce.

As for address changes: we will make an announcement on our social media accounts for address changes and where to send them roughly 2 weeks before fulfillment.

Mod Lia would like to personally apologize for the lack of updates. They are dealing with some family obligations that are taking up their time. Our social media mod, Rin, is currently out on vacation for another week.

Hello, fellow poison tasters! We're sorry to say that we're behind on production. We are currently looking at an early Fall 2025 fulfillment, provided we don't meet other snags.

Full disclosure, we recently had a switch up on formatting mod after our original had some personal issues preventing them from completing the project. Melvin, their replacement, is moving along with formatting the zine. We're at roughly 80-85% completion on the zine formatting. Here's a little preview of the zine formatting!

Acrylic goods have arrived at our shipping mod's home! The V-Day stamp is so cute!

Stickers and Notepads have finished up at the manufacturer! They will be on their way to the shipping mod soon.

We also have even MORE photo cards! The Notebooks and Washi Tape have also finished up. One issue with the washi tape is that it's missing the gold foil accents. We are working with the manufacturer on correcting this issue!

We're hoping to have updates on the enamel pins and metal book mark sometime next month. As soon as we have updates, we'll let you know!

Thank you again for your patience during this project and we look forward to your ongoing support!
