Hi, I'm Ion, aka Violet Magician.  For this set of pins I've chosen to do little gargoyles and grotesques, mostly done in my symmetrical art style. I've looked at a lot of real grotesques for inspiration, so many of these are at least loosely based on grotesques found on old cathedrals, many of which are chimeras of some sort. And this campaign is part of the pocket change event, and if you back 3 or more campaigns in the event you will get a free pin from each campaign you back. In addition to that this campaign also has a cross-collab partner with the Tiny Treasures campaign by Xod Crafts, and if you back both campaigns you get a free mini pin from each of us.  See collab and pocket change sections for more info and the freebie section to see the mini pin designs. 

Below you can see some of my finished pins:

All the pins for this campaign will be 1" or under.  You can see below for any specifics for each pin.  Pins will unlock in pairs with the Day and Night pair unlocking with the initial funding goal, and all other pairs being stretch goals that will unlock when their individual goal is reached.  Please note designs are not final and there may be some small changes to final product.

There are 2 collab freebie pins for this campaign. The first is the little gargoyle that you can get if you back 3 or more pocket change campaigns including this one.  The other is the glowing lantern cat gargoyle you can get if you back both this campaign and the Tiny Treasures campaign by Xod Crafts.

How it works

While the campaign is going you can pledge to any open level and your money will be withdrawn only at the end of the campaign if successful.  The pin designs available will depend upon how much is raised during the campaign (see the pins section for specific pin goals). You can also choose to add on any of the add-ons at any point you choose, which will be in addition to the rewards for your pledge level.  There is also the possibility of new add-ons being added which will be announced in an update if this happens. After the campaign is complete, you will receive a survey which is where you will be able to choose which unlocked design you want and additional add-ons that will be shipped with your order. Once you make your choices you will see shipping charges. The cost of additional add-ons and shipping will then be charged when surveys are closed. Please keep this in mind.  See FAQ section for additional info

Shipping will be charged separately through the backerkit surveys sent out after the campaign. Shipping will be charged by weight but generally will be around $6 for the US, $10 for Canada and $20 for any other international orders. Backer is responsible for any VAT and duty fees that need to be paid for delivery. Also please note I cannot ship at all to the EU or Northern Ireland due to current shipping rules. If you want to prepay VAT fees, items will be available on my Etsy after backerkit backers have all received their pledges, but I cannot prepay VAT through backerkit.
