🎉 What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

Hi There!

Welcome to my new project!

My name is Abi and I'm an illustrator and convention artist.

I love to create fantastical illustrations, especially referencing Medieval Bestairies, as well as designs intended to empower and represent others in the disabled, neurodivergent and queer communities.

I've run 19 successful projects across Kickstarter and Backerkit so you can trust that I know what I'm doing when it comes to crowdfunding and enamel pins! :D

If you want to see/shop my existing pin designs you can find me on Bluesky and Etsy but here are a few of my favourites:


The Spoonie Bestiary!

For this collection I'm finally combining two of my favourite subjects; mythological creatures, and chronic health/disability and building my own Spoonie Bestiary!

Representation and pride are more important than ever for disabled people in the current political climate and I love to bring a smile to peoples faces with pins and stickers that represent them while also being damn cool to look at!

I hope that you can find something in this collection that feels like you!
If you can't? For this campaign I've set up a custom tier for you to get your own choice of condition/phrase screenprinted onto any of the existing designs!

I can't wait to bring this new Bestiary to life! I hope you love them!

How Backerkit Works

  • Backerkit will not charge you for your rewards until the campaign is completed.
  • You can adjust your pledge amount at any time before the end of the campaign.
  • When the campaign ends you will be sent a survey to choose the funded designs you would like for your rewards.
  •  There will be updates throughout the campaign on the funding progress, and after the campaign through production and packing and posting.
  • Once the campaign is over, any remaining pins after fulfillment will be available via my Etsy shop, but without the multi-buy discounts available via pledging to the campaign.


Edit

Shipping

  • Fulfillment expected late September 2026!

  • All shipping will be tracked.
  • Shipping will be charged after the campagin ends, as part of the survey process.
    (Please note that unlike Kickstarter, these costs are NOT INCLUDED in the pledge total before the campagin ends.)

  • For non-UK backers: 
  • Backers are responsible for any customs or taxes that may be charged once the package enters your country.
  •  US Tariffs: the current tariff charge for goods from the UK is 10% of item value. Tariffs will be charged alongside postage at the end of the surveys.
  • US TARIFFS MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE because...we all know why. Sorry folks, this one is entirely outside my control. 
  • No refunds or replacements will be provided if your package is Returned To Sender or lost due to unpaid customs fees.
  • I am shipping to the EU!

Shipping estimates:

Shipping estimates
These prices are estimatesbased on current price lists and the weight of 1 to 6 pins. Actual shipping will be charged during surveys at the end of the campaign but I have done my best to estimate the post and packaging costs and Backerkit fees.
