A collection of enamel pins, stickers, and more that's purrrfect for any black cat enthusiast. Inspired by my own void cat River, I hope this collection fills you with the warmth of staring into an abyss that purrs back.

Plus some extra goodies for Returning and Early Bird backers!



Pledge now to help unlock the next stretch goals!



*Includes returning backers from Calming Cats, Frantic Familiars, Nocturnal Nouveau, Folkgore, Just Say No, Tidal Treasures, and Coping Cats.
Edit

This collection features ten Void Cats in hard enamel with dual-plated silver and gold finish.
The pins each measure 1.5-2”, with two posts and rubber clasps.


Four of the Void Cats are winged, in memory of River, my own little void cat, who "modeled" for all of the pins.




Also available are some re-issues of old favorites—the Paw Prints and Kitty Loaves from Coping Cats and the Celestial pins from Nocturnal Nouveau—in new colorways and metal finishes.

I'm excited to debut a couple of brand new products with the Void Cat collection! If you love taking notes in the field, you'll find these 3.5x5" Pocket Journals with 32 dot-grid pages to be the perfect companion. And stay warm with a soft knitted Void Cat beanie, with embroidered eyes and ear details, and minky paws on a brim that folds down, to keep your ears extra cozy. (And don't miss the Early Bird Deal to add-on a beanie for only $25! Limited to 75 pieces.)



Empty your spiraling galaxy-brain into the Pages of the Void.


And of course there's stickers!!!!!
Get the bundle of all 15 die-cut Void Cat stickers plus the Celestial stickers or choose your favorites!



Finally, if you missed them in Coping Cats, I have a few of the First Gen Void Cats items still available! Supplies are limited!

Hello, I’m so delighted you’re interested in my latest pin collection! I'm Carrie Alyson (any pronouns), a Tacoma-based artist who loves tarot, TTRPGs, board games, ice skating, and hiking and birdwatching with my wife

In 2018, I launched my very first pin collection, Calming Cats for the Anxious Purrsonality, a series of mindfulness reminders paired with feline support. In 2023, I joined Pintopia to crowdfund the Frantic Familiars, another cat-themed pin collection which embodied the magic and mayhem of setting myself the goal of becoming a full-time artist. I followed it up with Nocturnal Nouveau to create a dreamy collection of art nouveau flora, fauna, and celestial pins, and partnered with my friend Kim Kuzuri for Folkgore, a collection inspired by ghosts and monsters from both traditional and contemporary folklore. After that, I partnered with my friend Crystal Tea for Pintopia 2024 to launch Just Say No, a campaign reminding us all of the importance of setting boundaries. Tidal Treasures celebrated the ocean animals and ecosystems of the Pacific coast. Coping Cats was a reminder that sometimes, it’s fine to rest even while you’re chasing your dreams.

This is a queer and disabled-led project—your support means the world to me!

I have a lot more in store as I grow Aspenhearted, so I invite you to follow me and find more of my work here:
