My name is James Eden, and I'm the artist behind Celestina Art. While this is my first crowdfunding campaign, this is not my first time making pins. My previous runs have been pre-order and self-funded batches, and now I'm ready to take the plunge into my first complete concept set of pins.
Soft enamel is my favorite type of enamel pin to work with because of the fun colors that dyed metal can achieve. What better way to showcase dyed metal than by making bright little guys?
Each pal is made from soft enamel with dyed metal as the base. They come with their own set of three pieces of board filler candies.
Llama and Candies
I have asked my manufacturer to make the candies as small as he can possibly make them. He seemed a bit dismayed by my need to make progressively smaller pins, but he hasn't turned me away yet!
Sticker Examples
The matte vinyl stickers will be 3 inches on the largest side for the Pals, and the candies will be 1 inch.
July - This campaign runs to August 7th. August - Campaign surveys will go out August 15th and are due September 1st. September - Manufacturing begins! December - I get the finished items and begin inspection/ grading. January - You get your little guys!
!! Important: If I get them early, but shipping will be around Christmas, I may delay it to avoid them getting lost with Christmas mail. If this is the case, I will email backers. !!
Delays: Pins can be delayed. If this is the case, I will communicate with you as soon as I am aware of any delays in manufacturing.

Celestina Art has been a labor of love over the past decade. While it is technically a deadname, the name "Celestina" translates to "Heavenly" or "Of the Heavens" in my native language. It is also the name of my great grandmother. So, while I am not femme anymore, and firmly go by James Eden, I wish to keep this little bit of love to my family.
My art is all about bringing my culture and love of animals to the rest of the world. 💜
