Backerkit is a crowdfunding platform- these platforms help support creators by letting you pre order a product so that manufacturing can go ahead with less financial strain to the artist.

You will only be charged for your pledge and any add-ons after the campaign ends and only if it is successfully funded.

Welcome to Felines and Folios, and come on a tour of the Library with me!
This project brings together my love of cats, books, and all things magic in a collection of items ranging from enamel pins, metal bookmarks and phone grips to stickers, notebooks and foiled paper bookmarks. Each design is inspired by the magic of books. Think spellbooks, glowing magic circles, and adorable feline familiars, all illustrated with a playful, whimsical touch.
These pieces are made for book lovers, cat people and everyone who loves adorable accessories. Whether it’s a pin to add to your ita bag, a metal bookmark to mark your current read or a gorgeous notebook, every item is designed to feel like touch of every day magic you can take with you.
By supporting this project, you’re helping turn these illustrations into high-quality original items and bringing a cozy, celestial cat coven to life. Thank you for joining me for Felines and Folios!
All the designs in the Felines and Folios collection represent a trip through a magical library, filled with adorable familiars that want to take you on a journey. Each design shows you a slice of life in this universe, with mischievous, curious, beautiful cats that may or may not be based on my own...
"Spellbound" is inspired by my gorgeous cat Calliope, always curious and distinguished lady. "Spellbound" features Calliope reading a spellbook by candle light- this enamel pin will feature glitter effects and screenprinted effects to bring the eyes and other details to life. Apollo is a curious orange cat who tends to get his nose in the spellbooks…and sometimes it doesn’t quite go his way. We think we may be able to reverse the spell, but we’re not completely sure. These adorable bookmarks are durable, and shiny as heck! I also commissioned a model of them so you can see just how awesome they are: Luna guards the inkwells at the library…at least we think she does, she’s rarely seen without a feather and the inkwells are rarely seen with a feather. This midnight black kitten is playful and skittish. “The hunter” is the first of our variant designs! Unlocking this goal will unlock both the enamel pin and the phone/ereader grip versions of the design! The enamel pin version features beautiful cutouts, and the phone/ereader grip version features a stained glass effect in the background that will make it a more beautiful and comfortable piece to hold! In a library as big as this one , there is a kitten hiding in every corner. Artemis manages to look adorable *and* play “Hide and Seek” at the same time! Hide and seek features glitter effects and screen printing. “Reach for the stars” is our second metal bookmark! Designed in an art deco style, reach for the stars will have an adorable chain with a star shaped crystal charm. It’s inevitable, with so much work around here cataloguing books, and mixing potions, and magically vanishing cat litter, the kittens are often “Left unattended” to nap and play…and sometimes the books suffer a little bit! "Left unattended" is our second design that will unlock two variants, an enamel pin and a phone/ereader grip. Both will feature extensive screen printing, and the pin version will have beautiful cutouts, while the phone/ereader grip will have a stained glass effect in the background.
Apollo had to have his own enamel pin! Featuring a similar design to the bookmark in a previous goal, this adorable pin features a series of intricate cut outs, glitter and screen printing effects. This pin design will unlock at 5000ÂŁ/ 6700$. The white kitten is Orion. This is a special pin to me, as the real Ori crossed the rainbow bridge as I was working on this collection. Ori will now forever be the happy kitten he always was, but as a new phone/ereader grip. The hardest part about this one really was choosing which puns to include! Nala is our resident tortie- she is naturally friendly, mischievous and has a habit of sleeping wherever, even if it is in a box of books! the "if i fits" enamel pin will unlock at 7000GBP/ 9700USD, and include gitter and screenprinted effects. A library with a weath of familiars must be haunted somehow, right? right? Nine Lives features an extra fluffy tassel and and UV printed effects, and will unlock at 7.6kGBP/10.5K USD. This design is subject to small changes!
THE LAST UNLOCKABLE IS HERE! This kindle grip is our last unlockable for this project. It will feature two colour variants by default that will both unlock at the same time! This ereader grip has Luna in the middle of a fluffy cloud bank and a celestial theme!
For this project, if you play your cards right you’ll be able to get two different freebies! These adorable die cast bookmarks will be special freebies for the campaign! Get the Witchy cat tree bookmark if you back this project as an early bird, and the midnight spell bookmark if you back 3+ projects in the bookworm banner (pintopia projects with a bookish theme!). Note: bookmarks are only awarded for valid pledges and those at any tier other than the tip jar. We do not ship bookmarks on their own.
As they unlock, you'll be able to select all these additional designs for add-ons! You'll be able to select from 3 (for now!) designs for magnetic phone/ereader grips. Please only use these grips with magsafe phones and cases! A self- adhesive magnetic ring will be provided in case your case does not have one! I love making metal bookmarks! they've been some of my favourite items to make since i started a couple years ago, and i absolutely love how they turn out every single time! Scroll on to the next section for a glimpse of my previous bookmarks!
These add-ons will be available without unlocking, from the start of the project: Here are some of the notebook designs available as add-ons! they will be available individually after the project during the pledge manager!
New for this project i will be making a desk mat as an add on! These will feature a book shelf with plenty of titles full of cat puns, and a happy Orion <3 These desk mats are 70x30cm and will feature a stitched edge and anti-slip rubber backing- Three different designs will be available!
As an artist, i make a lot of different things and have many years of experience! I love making sculptures and tridimensional works! I have ongoing collections of shelf guardians and fictional weapons from books! I have a soft spot for dragons, and make a lot of them, and want to make more stationery pieces this year đź’ś You can find my work on my website at geekandartsy.com
This is a shipping table updated to the best of my abilities! Shipping costs will be charged after the campaign at the time the pledge manager goes out. At this time, you'lll be able to choose which designs you want and get an accurate shipping estimate. For US customers, shipping prices will have the added cost of 10% of the order price to cover for the price of Tariffs- as per US customs regulations, tariffs have to be pre-paid ahead of shipping, and i do all that for you. Customers everywhere else are responsible for their own import costs, and i will provide all the information to make this possible and as smoth as possible. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE ESTIMATES! All shipping is weight based, and some of my items inside the same category are heavier than others, so i included number of items as a general ballpark.
Still feeling a bit lost as to how this whole thing works? Dont worry, backerkit can be a bit overwhelming with so many projects happening at the same time, especially if you're a first time backer! Heres the project timeline, so you can see exactly how i spend the time between now and fulfillment:
This project is participating in the BackerKit event Pintopia 2026, a celebration of enamel pin, plushie and ITA bag project featuring an all-star lineup of creators crowdfunding together from January 22 – February 12, 2026.
