What are Oshi Pins? Oshi Pins are small wooden pins for showing off support of your favorite Oshis! Oshi Pins are perfect for filling space in Ita Bags, decorating Oshi Shrines, adding flare to outfits / cosplay, adding to your pin collection(s), or whatever else you desire them for!
How are they made? Oshi Pins are created starting with sustainably sourced cherry wood, then artwork that I (Grogda) have digitally drawn with love gets printed onto the wood using high quality ink, after that gloss is applied as needed, next the cherry wood is laser cut around the artwork to get the shape of our pins, lastly a pin backing is adhered to the back and given a cute little green clutch. Viola~! We have our Oshi Pins!

Why wood? There are many reasons, but if I had to choose just one it would be: "I just like the wood!" My favorite part about it is the wonderful smell; because the wood is laser cut it gives each pin such a gentle and warm campfire scent; you just don't get that with enamel!! Another huge reason is the Eco-friendly nature of working with wooden pins. By using fast growing cherry wood as the pin base Oshi Pins produce nearly 20% less CO2 emissions than enamel pins would! WOW![source]
Will you be making more designs than just the ones shown? Ideally yes!! That's my big goal!! If this crowd funding campaign goes swell and we have the extra funds to swing, I would LOVE to add even more to this project; especially those that the community asks for! I'd love to hear what oshi marks you'd love to see most turned into pins. Please share your thoughts on the community tab of this project! However we must reach all our stretch goals to get those pins so I hope I can count on your support!✨
Who created this project? Hi hi~! I'm Grogda! A giant cyclops V-tuber! I've been V-tubing for about 3 years and doing Artist Alleys under my brand Clover Patch Studio for about 6 years! You can learn more about me under the "✨ About The Artist" section of this page. I'd love to see you over on my channel some time so please don't be nervous to stop by and say a hi hi~! https://www.twitch.tv/grogdachan
To support the project go up and select Pledge Levels to find what option best suits you! The higher the levels go the larger of a discount you get!! You can also select Add-ons for each and every pledge type; so customize your desires however you see fit!
Other ways to greatly help support this project would be sharing it on social media so we can get as many eyes as possible on it!✨ Gotta hit those stretch goals~
Those who pledge will receive a survey AFTER the fundraising campaign has concluded. You will be able to choose WHICH pins / sets / stickers you desire in that post campaign survey.
The initial amount to fund this project is $300, that'll unlock the first of many Oshi Pin sets: The Fantasy Set ✨. After that the project will be A GO! But in order to unlock more and more pins we must hit our Stretch Goals. Stretch Goals for this project are at every additional $300 funded. You can scroll below to see all the different unlocks and how much crowdfunding we must achieve to get them. In the case all stretch goals are met - NEW goals with even MORE pins will be added to this project!
"Can I pledge before the pins I want are unlocked? And still get them?"
YES!!!!!! That is the ideal way to do this ✨ Pledge for what you WANT to happen, not what already has. That's how we achieve proper funding to meet those goals!✨
Add-ons help customize this campaign to your unique desires! As well as help give opportunities for further funding. You can add on as many extra single pins or pin sets as you see fit~! There are also sticker sheets available!
✨Add on Sticker Sheets!✨ Printed onto Glossy Vinyl, each sheet is roughly 100mm x 150mm large.
Shipping is charged AFTER the campaign ends. It is not included in the pledge price.
Domestic (USA) Shipping will likely range from: $4 - $12 depending on the weight of your package
UPDATED! International Shipping will likely range from: $8 - $25 depending on what country you are located in and the weight of your package.
Please keep in mind these ranges are estimations. It is possible they are higher or lower when it comes time to ship. However that is unlikely.

If you are one of the many countries I cannot ship to I am deeply sorry, there is genuinely nothing I can do about it. I really appericate your interest and even support you may have shown to my little project. Thank you.

!! VAT , Import Fees, Customs, and other international taxes !!
VAT is not prepaid for!! You will have to be responsible for the possible VAT charges.
Clover Patch Studio is not responsible for any fees that may need to be paid upon international package arrival.
The biggest challenge outside of funding that we face are design revisions. It's possible due to size, shape, colors or other various conditions that some pin designs may need to be changed or reworked as production begins. Please keep informed via the Updates tab for any design changes, alterations, set backs, or whatever else may happen in this project. Thankfully I have already ordered three sets of sample pins prior to launching this project so I have good hopes that our hurdles will be minimal!✨
The only other thing that may impact this project is International Shipping Logistics. If any issues of this nature arise it will be top priority to communicate so please make sure you are following that Updates tab.
I started my artist journey back in 2018. Since that time I've traveled all across the USA selling in Artist Alleys! From anime conventions to video game tournaments, it can get pretty wild the places I visit for work.
Clover Patch Studio is named after my rabbit Clover! She was always there for me like no one else during the hardest and darkest day of my life, and boy did she love art. Every time I made wooden pins or charms she would get so excited to open the packages and throw around every piece.
It has been quite a few years since Clover left for the Rainbow Bridge but her legacy lives on. Because of her my heart got opened to rescuing rabbits and now-a-days I do my part to engage with Rabbit Rescue Charities and promote education about Domesticated Rabbits as often as I can.
New bunnies have also entered the patch!! Currently rabbits Sweet Pea and Ivan live along side me. They are very important and diligent workers over here in Clover Patch Studio!!
In 2022 I started my V-tuber journey!!✨
My streams are a mix of chaotic and cozy. I love to YAP YAP YAP and put my all into everything I do. You can find me often ranting about food or putting on some sort of wacky special event. V-tubing has given me a place to belong like nothing else ever has. Being able to be my authenic self, no masks, no filters, and people...like me?? WOW!!! What a truely wonderful world. I never want to stop entertaining and having fun with chat and I hope to grow as a creator simply so I can make more and more people laugh. I'm so greatful to have found this community.
This project has been many months in the making, from research, to design, to samples and more; it has been a labor of love. Personally this is also my first huge project I've committed to in a long time, I'm overwhelmingly proud of myself that I was able to make this happen and take those first steps into making my art a priority in my life once again.
Thank you for reading about and supporting ✨ Oshi Pins! ✨ I hope you love what I have to offer and that your day is filled with hoppinessʚ₍ᐢ..ᐢ₎ɞ
