Hello friends!
The raccoon has prevailed!



There's a new poll for our next unlock, but before we get to that, there's one more design reveal I want to share! With this addition, I've revealed all the pins that will be stretch goals to unlock. (I do have others planned that don't need unlocking. :D )



This is my homage to the PNW giant octopus! He features translucent enamel over a half raised design underneath :D This will be the one oversized pin I have planned for the campaign. (Likely 4"!) Pictured with two pin posts, but I'll likely add a third.

Voting is now open! What is unlock #4?

More design reveals + Collab reveal + New Poll

Hello, hello, hello, friends!! 🌽

Another poll is complete, and our first stretch goal will unlock the beaver!




The beaver beat out the raccoon by 11 votes! Will we see a come back for the little fella in the next poll? 🥊🥊 Or am I going to complicate things by revealing more finished designs? :) Vote in the poll below for your next favorite!


Wanna hear about some free pins?

Like last Pintopia, I'm partnering with a friend to provide an opportunity for two free pins! The only requirement is backing both projects. Back both, get two free pins.

Unlike last Pintopia, these are not mini pins! These are full sized 2" and 3" pins.

Make sure you're also following Max's project - linked below - so you can snag this magpie cutie and their shelf of shinies.  



And the base goal pin will be 🥁

The Orca!

It's very subtle in the mock up, but the dark blue ocean water has a pearlescent effect 👀✨

(Un)fortunately for all of you, I've finalized more designs since we last touched base. So this next poll will include four different designs to choose from. (Glad the decision making is your problem and not mine! haha) Which one should be our first stretch goal?

Pintopia is coming! 🚨

Hey folks!

While you've been preparing for the holiday season, I've been studying the blade 🗡 annnd preparing for Pintopia!

I want to give a hearty thank you to all the backers from last Pintopia. I asked for feedback on what you wanted to see, and you didn't disappoint. 😊
