Hello campaign followers and backers, my Etsy shop is now reopened, and will remain open for two days only, closing on January 28 at 4PM PST. I had a big shipment of pins from the previous campaign returned to me, so those are available in the shop as well, along with some new art prints.

Backers can check the backers-only section for a coupon code. Make sure to use this code before you purchase, it can't be applied retroactively and I won't be re-doing orders this time if you forget to use it. If you miss out on Etsy, I will send leftovers to my stockists, if you are an international backer Mushroomy can ship to you. You can check with them in the future for when items are available, it may take a few months for items to be listed.

My very first plush campaign launched as part of Pintopia 2026, ending February 12. As well as the plush, some angel pins are available to pledge for to help with funding. You can check out the campaign here, I plan to take backer input for additional goals so be sure to suggest some on the campaign page if you'd like.

I have some ideas for future pin campaigns, but no solid plans yet. If I do any more campaigns they will be part of Backerkit collections, possibly in June or October. The top themes in mind are lesser known fairytales and Greek/Egyptian gods. If you have an idea for my next pin series or other merch, you can send them via this Google Form. You can also vote in the attached poll. If I plan any more pin campaigns I'd like them to be for themes or ideas you all are interested in. If you like my art and want to see more, you can follow me on social media, subscribe to my newsletter, or follow me here on Backerkit.

Goodbye for now!

Hi there backers, if you ordered one of the remaining delayed pins, they arrived and I have just finished grading them. Below you can find some photos. Please look out for a Backerkit email confirming your address, these will be locked soon and after this shipping will begin. Once your order has shipped, your tracking information is available through Backerkit. If your tracking number starts with “AHOY” you will need to use Asendia instead of USPS for tracking. More information on tracking is available here.

Contact Backerkit support or message me via the FAQ if there are any issues with your rewards. I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. Make sure to reach out as soon as you receive your package, and if a pin or other item is missing please say which one in your message. Do not message me on social media or via my shops, if you do that I will miss your message.

Regarding the Power of Friendship pin: I was intending the pearl powder areas to have un-swirled pearl powder for a glittery effect, instead of pearl swirl. However I think the pin overall came out okay, and I have neither funds nor time to do a remake for this design. Since the pearl swirl wasn't included in the mockup: if you are dissatisfied with the end result you can use the contact methods mentioned above to reach out before addresses lock, and I can either: remove the pin in exchange for an Etsy credit to be used in my shop when it reopens, or swap the pin for another design (let me know which pin to swap for in your initial message). Please contact me promptly, this option will not be available once addresses are locked.

And now at last, the remaining pin photos:

I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action.

A reminder regarding leftovers: there will be a limited release of campaign leftovers on Etsy. I will reopen my shop for two days only, date TBD. I will send an update with a coupon code when my shop is open. Make sure to use this code before you purchase, it can't be applied retroactively and I won't be re-doing orders this time if you forget to use it. I had a big shipment of pins from the previous campaign returned to me, so many of those will be available in the shop as well, along with some new art prints.

If you miss out on Etsy, I will send leftovers to my stockists, if you are an international backer Mushroomy can ship to you. You can check with them in the future for when items are available, it may take a few weeks for items to be listed.

That's all for this update, as always leave your questions in the comments.

Hi there backers, if you ordered one of the commissioned Astarion pins, they arrived and I have just finished grading them. Below you can find some photos. I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action. If this is the only delayed pin you were waiting on, look out for a Backerkit email confirming your address, these will be locked soon and after this shipping will begin.

Once your order has shipped, your tracking information is available through Backerkit. If your tracking number starts with “AHOY” you will need to use Asendia instead of USPS for tracking. More information on tracking is available here.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll, after reviewing the results I decided to do a limited release of campaign leftovers on Etsy. I will reopen my shop for two days only, date TBD. I will send an update with a coupon code when my shop is open. Make sure to use this code before you purchase, it can't be applied retroactively and I won't be re-doing orders this time if you forget to use it.

If you miss out on Etsy, I will send leftovers to my stockists, if you are an international backer Mushroomy can ship to you. You can check with them in the future for when items are available, it may take a few weeks for items to be listed.

One more thing: you'll notice in this campaign I waited to charge for addons/shipping and let you all make changes to your surveys after seeing pin photos. However I've seen other campaigns charge for everything right after the campaign ends, and some backers seem to prefer this as it makes it easier to plan payments. If you have an opinion either way let me know in the attached poll, it might just change my plans for my future campaigns!

Hi there backers, quick update for you: I just dropped off the last of the packages for the inital batch of shipments. All orders except those that are waiting on the delayed pins have been shipped out. If you missed the news about the delayed pins, please see the previous update.

It should take 1-2 weeks for domestic (USA) shipments to arrive and 4-6 weeks for international shipments, but possibly longer due to holiday delays. If you're waiting on a delayed pin look out for another update in a few weeks along with photos. 

Your tracking information is available through Backerkit. If your tracking number starts with “AHOY” you will need to use Asendia instead of USPS for tracking. More information on tracking is available here.

I graded and packed everything myself, so there is a non-zero chance of human error. I'd appreciate if you let me know if you catch anything wrong with your pins; or ideally, that they're up to the usual standard and you're happy with them!

For anyone who has not yet filled out the survey or had other issues with their order, I have reached out via your Backerkit email. If I do not hear back from you, you will not receive rewards. As mentioned in the previous updates, if you failed to pay for your order you have a strict deadline of Tuesday, December 23 1PM PST to do so or your pledge will be forfeit as a donation. So please follow up as soon as possible.

If there's sufficient interest in purchasing leftovers I will consider reopening just my Etsy shop for a limited time, and backers will receive a coupon to purchase leftovers at a discount. Otherwise I'll be sending leftovers to my stockists and you all can purchase from them (without a backer coupon). You can vote in the attached poll to indicate your interest.

That's all for this update, happy holidays!
