Welcome to Mash-Up Friends - Animal Edition Pin Collection, the very first campaign by Tului (10 years old) and Tenger (9 years old), two brothers who are also my nephews 🥰 Together they designed these adorable mash-ups starring animals we love and food we love to eat, maybe sometimes 😅
After supporting incredible creators at BackerKit, I am excited to support my nephews on their creative journey 🎨 In addition to adorable mash-up, you can also pledge to our always delicious wine-infused salt seasoning blends. We ran a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2021 on Kickstarter, before BackerKit launched its Crowdfunding platform.
So hopefully you love pins or seasonings or BOTH 🥳
