Last updated: February 12, 2026 It's over! We did it!🎉 Please give the system some time to process your payments. After that, I'll set up the backer survey to collect valid addresses for the shipping. You'll also be able to add more items from the preorder shop-- which in turn can still help unlock those final stretch goals! :)
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!
Do you know 'omamori? Originally available at Japanese shrines, these amulets are believed to draw in fortune and ward off bad luck. With 'Omamori Spirits' we'll create pins that can be worn as statement pieces or hung on display in your very own mini shrine!
Once 'The Guardian' unlocks the base mould becomes available for other pin designs. For now 8 different omamori designs are planned. I've chosen the technique of screen printing to stay true to my original art style. The frame and backside are the only visible plating. Each pin comes with a back stamp and two backings.
These pins are not suitable for regular keychain or charm use. Constant metal keychain scraping could damage the print and the backings could fall off, leading to injuries. Please understand that the hole is a novelty feature for display purposes.
Thanks to reaching our community goal during prelaunch, each pin will come with a matching dishwasher-proof sticker! 🎉
We're off to a great start because we already unlocked a goodie during prelaunch! Thanks to you, the goal of 100 followers was reached. Meaning that each pin now comes with a matching sticker! These stickers have a matte coating with transparent border and are dishwasher proof. How cool is that!
Well, this is crazy. 'The Guardian' was funded on the 39th minute and the rest of the pins within 24 hours. ALL PINS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED!😱 Madness! Thank you all so much!
No project is complete without a BIG, ambitious final goal!
Next up will be the wooden shrine standee! Inspired by original omamori attainable at Japanese shrines, the pins can be hung on display in your very own mini shrine. :) I have to confess I want to pull this through no matter what, and sampling has already begun. If we hit this goal the standees can be produced for sale (I just want one for myself, haha). Scrap the above; you guys unlocked it within the first 24 hours of the project going live.😂❤ Aside from a small change to the hook, the manufacturer has given the go 🚦; we're gonna make it happen!
The first standee set, including base, shrine and 2 decorations, has been unlocked and is now available as both add-on and all-in Pledge Level.
The standard set includes the base, shrine and two decorations.
Because it's been a while since I added new content and we've long passed the highest stretch goal since, the next stretch goal will be very close within reach to remain fair. Let's introduce STANDEE EXPANSION PACKS! If you pledge for the standard set you can change out the decorations for any unlocked ones in the survey!
And, because why not go all out: the Water Shrine expansion pack consisting of a new base (water instead of meadow), and 3 acrylic parts that are partially see-through.
This is the Boring™ part about the standee. Feel free to skip!
The standee consists of a base with 4 slots for upright parts-- I'll use colours for clarity: The black part is placed in the middle and acts as the shrine front. The red part has a hook to hang the pin from and is placed behind it. This also adds depth to the shrine! :) In front of the shrine there's space for decorations.
A single pin can be hung from the hook each time. The pin hole is large enough to fit most lobster clasps through. Backers that order the standee will also receive a simple lobster clasp for each pin they order. Other attachments can of course be used, but recommended are lobster clasps or string. Keychain mechanisms are best avoided, as the metal can scrape off the print. (Keep in mind these are screen-printed pins and the colours aren't solidly poured into a mould.)
It's possible to swap out parts but please note the standee material isn't made for this. The upright parts fit into the base very snuggly to avoid wobbling. Constant removing and replacing of parts can lead to a less sturdy standee. Think push buttons that get loose over time (ugh...childhood memories).
Techincal drawing of the shrine. The final version has a thicker, sturdier hook.
Acrylic parts cannot be swapped out with wooden parts because the slots have different sizes!
The wonderful Myuna Art and I are collaborating to bring you these two exclusive, double-sided woven omamori as special reward. These omamori will NOT be available as add-on at the end of the campaign.
Back both Hey, Tze!'s and Myuna Art's projects to receive these woven omamori!

Shipping is not included in your pledge and will be calculated afterwards. All orders will be shipped from Germany. Please keep in mind that I can only charge you the shipping. This will cover the cost of couriers and packaging. Import duties and possible tariffs will be charged to you separately by your responsible authorities. ESPECIALLY FOR USA ADDRESSES it's important to be informed of the constantly changing situation. Sadly those costs are completely out of my hands. ;_;
Hiya, Tze here! I'm a Dutch illustrator living in Germany. Art has always been a serious pursuit for me and my business was officially launched in 2018. If you visit European conventions there's a chance you'll see me! So far I've exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Denmark and France.
You'll recognise my art style by its clean, bold linework and bright colours.
My Sticker Club was first launched in 2023, followed by the Pin Club in 2025. Both are still running successfully on my Ko-fi. I'm used to producing many new designs on a monthly basis and am familiar with the process from designing the product to shipping the physical item to my Club members.
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.
