Celebrate an early Summerween with us~!

Bring the spookies early this year with five creepy, cute, and spooky collections of enamel pins! From witchy magic to yummy, gummy spiders, spooky skulls, monster girls galore, and creepy portraits, this collection has a little bit of every part of Halloween! 


Back multiple campaigns to score tons of freebies!

  • Back all projects at a physical reward tier to unlock a pin set of 5 pins - 1 from each project.
  • Back all projects for TWO or more pins, and receive a SECOND pin set of 5 pins - using the logo designed by our very own Waxwing Cedrorum, 5 pins designed by each participating artist are available as well. Only those who pledge to two pins during the campaign will qualify for this reward. Items added in the post campaign survey do not qualify.
  • Each campaign may also have extra freebies available for early bird rewards, returning backers, multi-pin backers and more!





Back each campaign for 1 pin each and receive the above freebies!

Back 2 or more pins from all 5 campaigns, and receive a pin set of these cute bats!

Project Update: Thank you!! Here are my plans for the other designs:

Hi everyone!

Early Summerween has now come to a close. 🦇☀️

I very, very strongly value honesty and transparency so I'm a little upset with myself for making this decision, but I really want to bring all of them to life: I'm going to try a pt 2 campaign later.

I think that Gorgon (so close!!) and TV Cat are very likely to be unlocked through these surveys, as long as there aren't a ton of failed pledges (I'll know in a few days). My goals do include buffers in case of failed/declined pledges so 🤞.

My goals for the other campaign would include Dullahan, Mummy, Angel, Mermaid, a Harpy, demon Onmyouji (she was actually the first pin I drew but I dropped her because her clothes were stressing me out lol), and I'd like to try to pin the jirai kei Succubus I made for a recent coffin button.
I have about 40 of her so she will be available in limited qty in this survey!


The reason I mention honesty and transparency is because I hate if I've falsely instilled a sense of urgency in anyone, I really did intend for this to be my last pin-centric campaign. 😣 I guess it's not technically a lie since it's more of the same thing...

I won't start building the 2nd one until I have the moths fully shipped out (their last remake batch is being made currently) and once the paws are at least halfway sent out (some have gone out w/moth packages already, remakes of those flawed ones are still in progress). It'll be a short runtime of about 2 weeks also. I'm going to try to get them made before tariffs go back to over 100%...but that might be impossible.

I've been increasingly very ill for most of my life and designing these pins has brought me a joy I haven't experienced creatively in years due to burnout, so I'd really like to get them all made if possible, at least the ones I've already "pinned" (so Harpy and Succubus I don't feel as strongly about, technically both are drawn but need to be reworked entirely in order to become pins).

Thank you for your sincere support of this campaign and the joy these designs have brought me 💗 I hope you might consider supporting part 2 as well!

PS: I expect surveys to go out LATE this month or the first week of July. I will be paying for the funds-raised pins as soon as I receive these initial funds in 2 weeks, but since I'm hoping to fund Gorgon and TV Cat via surveys they, if met, will join production after surveys are charged (I'll give them 2-3 weeks before charging depending on how fast they're filled). Meaning I may get them shipped separately and orders containing them could potentially be relegated to back of fulfillment queue, but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't meet assumed Halloween fulfillment date. However, depending on when I can launch pt 2 I may be able to combine some pledges for later fulfillment if requested.
