The night sky. Vast, mysterious, and extraordinary...perhaps even a bit terrifying, for some. But so do the infinite wonders of the universe intrigue us, none the less.
Welcome, astronomers, to Celestial Incarnations, where we may observe and study some of the universe's most beautiful and tremendous phenomena known to humanity. These colossal stellar objects are often beyond our full understanding, but not beyond humanity's ever-present drive to seek out knowledge, beauty, and answers to our origins, existence, and purpose.
No matter where on Earth you may reside, we are all connected by the night sky and our collective wonder towards the vast cosmos above us.
Celestial Incarnations is an enamel pin set featuring male personifications of stellar objects.
If you're new to BackerKit or crowdfunding in general, please head on over to the FAQ section to read about how it all works! 🌟
The Celestial Incarnations pin collection features 11 enamel pins: 8 standard pins and 3 jumbo pins.
The 8 standard pins are The Sun, The Moon, Ordinary Star, Black Hole, Comet, Neutron Star, Supernova, and Dark Matter; the 3 jumbo pins are The Night Sky, Crescent Moon, and Stellar Nebula.
Standard vs. Jumbo pins
Standard pins range in size from 2.25"-3.5". They will all be hard enamel with gold plating and at least 2 pin posts with rubber backings. All of them have some sort of glitter effect.
Jumbo pins are my biggest pins yet - all 3 of them measure 4" on their longest side and have various effects listed in their descriptions in the Stretch Goals section. They will be hard enamel with gold plating, with 3 pin posts with rubber backings.
Note: It is recommended to purchase locking backs with the jumbo pins if you plan to wear them on an article of clothing or a bag without a protective layer (such as an ita bag) to prevent them from falling off and becoming lost. In general, I would not recommend wearing the jumbo pins - they are intended more as display-only art pieces.
The initial goal will unlock both The Sun and The Moon enamel pins along with the collab & campaign freebies.
The rest of the Celestial Incarnations set will be unlocked through stretch goals as listed below. Check back often to see what's been unlocked!
Note about Crescent Moon: The hair area will use pearl glitter gradient. Pearl gradient has the limitation that it will appear similar to soft enamel in that it will be recessed a bit. The area will be topped with clear epoxy to create a smooth surface but the area may still have a recessed look similar to soft enamel. Please refrain from purchasing this pin if it will bother you.
Sun & Moon: MAKE THEM KISS!
Since all my planned stretch goals were reached within the first day, let's do another fun activity!
At various intervals of goals, I will draw the Sun & Moon characters getting slightly more intimate with each other!
400 Backers: Kiss on the hand
$40,000: Kiss on the cheek
500 Backers: Kiss on the lips
$50,000: Hot makeout sesh with tongue
If all 4 of these goals are reached, I will make a photobooth style photo strip of all images that will be available as a physical add-on 🌟
You can keep track of the progress of these goals in the "Achievements" section of the "Community" tab!
My cross-collab partner Wayward Enigma Designs has designed and constructed an absolutely stunning enamel pin display board for this set!
These boards are handmade, making each one unique. The boards are created using MDF board that is sourced from another small business, offering more attention to detail and higher quality than boards often sold at big box suppliers.
They are held together using industrial strength bonding agents to ensure a tight and lasting hold. The center is made of thick felt to both securely hold pins, but also prevent any damage to them.
The coloration of these boards is painted with golden paint and sealed with a top coat. To keep them from falling off the wall, they are held up by two pieces of sawtooth picture hanging hardware.
The overall Dimensions of the board are 15"x11.3". The interior space of display board is sized to nicely fit all 11 pin designs from Celestial Incarnations, with room for small filler pins if desired.
Boards are meant for indoor use only, best kept out of direct sunlight to prevent sun bleaching, and best kept clean using a soft rag. It is not advised to use cleaning products on it as they could cause damage or discoloration to the materials.
The display board is available as part of the Star Cluster (ALL-IN) bundle or as an add-on for $55.
***Due to the time and labor required to hand-craft each display, the number of pin display boards sold will be limited to 100 units total. Thank you for understanding! 🌟***
Returning backers & backers who pledge within the first 48 hours of the campaign will qualify for campaign freebies! Early bird backers will receive a sticker sheet featuring adorable chibis of The Sun & The Moon, and returning backers will receive the below 1.25" enamel pin!

Both campaign freebies will also be available as add-ons for backers who do not qualify as early bird or returning backers.
Disclaimer: backers must pledge for at least 1 standard or jumbo enamel pin to qualify to receive the freebies. Backers for the support tier do not qualify unless they add on at least 1 standard or jumbo pin.
Celestial Incarnations has partnered up with Wayward Enigma Designs' Celestial Beasts campaign! Wayward and I have collaborated to bring you these two enamel pins inspired by the star Sirius and the Canis Major constellation!
Sirius (by HoloRaindrops):
2.5" wide
hard enamel
gold plating
glitter details
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and brightest star in the Canis Major constellation, earning its nickname the "dog star". In reality, Sirius a binary star system, which means it's actually composed of two stars that rotate around each other every 50 years.
Canis Major (by Wayward Enigma Designs):
2.5" tall
hard enamel
gold plating
glitter details
Canis Major, or "greater dog", is a constellation that appears in the northern hemisphere during the cold winter months. It is composed of 8 main stars, the brightest of which is Sirius, which is also the brightest star in the night sky.
People who back both campaigns will receive both of the above pins for free!
How it works:

NEW for Pintopia 2026: Banners!
For this year's Pintopia, creators have been split up into project banners, which are groups of creators joined by a similar theme! Celestial Incarnations is part of the Spaced Out banner, featuring campaigns that are all space-themed!
The Spaced Out banner has extra incentive for backers who support multiple creators in the banner: Backers who pledge to 3+ Spaced Out campaigns will get a free sticker from each creator they backed!*
*Backers on Celestial Incarnations must pledge for at least 1 standard or jumbo enamel pin to qualify to receive my freebie sticker. Backers for the support tier do not qualify unless they add on at least 1 standard or jumbo pin.
You have the option of adding additional pins and/or other items to your pledge for Celestial Incarnations. There are two ways to purchase add-ons:
Option 1) Purchase add-ons during the campaign when you make your initial pledge. Available add-ons are listed in the add-ons section of the campaign page. The cost of these items will be added to your base pledge level cost.
Option 2) Choose a pledge level during the campaign, and wait until you receive the post-campaign survey, during which more add-ons will be available. You will be charged first for your base pledge level from the campaign, and then again a 2nd time after the campaign for add-ons purchased during the survey.
Please be aware that purchasing add-ons may incur additional shipping fees.
Additional standard pins - $25 ea.
Standard pins are $25 each. Early bird & higher tier backers get discounts for additional pins.
Additional jumbo pins - $50 ea.
Jumbo pins are $50 each. Early bird & higher tier backers get discounts for additional pins.
Pin display board - $55
The custom display board designed by Wayward Enigma Designs is available as an add on for an additional $55.
Disclaimer: Due to its size, adding on the display board may increase your shipping costs. All orders containing the board will most likely fall under the "full set" column of the shipping estimate chart.
For pledges that cost over $150, backers have the option to select Pay Over Time to pay for their pledge in 4 equal interest-free payments over the course of 4 months, instead of it all in one lump sum.
Please note the following if you select Pay Over Time:
Your rewards will not ship unless you have paid for all 4 of your payments in full.
Partial payments are not eligible for a refund. For more information on refunds, please check the disclaimers section or the FAQ.
You will not be eligible to fill out your survey until you've paid for your pledge in full. Once you pay in full, you'll receive a survey invite automatically. I will do my best to make sure I order enough product to account for potential gaps in item counts.
Shipping fees are not included in your pledge. Shipping fees are collected and charged AFTER the campaign in the post-campaign survey.
Below, you can see a table of estimates for how much shipping may cost based on the size of your order. Shipping is calculated based on package weight.
After talking to and learning more about international shipping from other creators, I am happy to announce that I've opened shipping back up to UK and EU! 🎉
UK Shipping updates:
I no longer will be using Etsy as a means to ship to UK customers. That means UK backers can pledge normally for any tier listed and won't have to use Etsy to purchase their pledges anymore!
IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that I will not be collecting VAT on any UK pledges, which means all UK customers will be responsible for paying VAT and any other import duties/taxes upon reception of their package.
I will not issue refunds for customers who don't want to pay VAT/taxes/duties when they receive their package.
EU Shipping updates:
I have filled out the correct documentation and secured an EU representative, which means shipping is finally once again open to EU customers! I'm so glad to be able to offer this again!
EU customers will be responsible for paying any potential import taxes/duties/tariffs upon reception of their package.
If you're an EU customer who missed out on my last several pin sets due to shipping restrictions and wish to purchase them, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]and we can discuss how to add any pin sets you missed out on to your order!
Unfortunately, my cross-collab partner is unable to ship to the EU, so EU backers are excluded from receiving the cross-collab pin. I'm very sorry! 😢

Hello! My name is Rain, I go by HoloRaindrops, and I'm the creator of Celestial Incarnations! I hail from the midwest USA, and I have been making enamel pins obsessively since 2019. Celestial Incarnations is my 11th pin campaign.
Space has always been one of my favorite aesthetics of all time, not to mention celestial objects have always fascinated me ever since I was a very young kid. I remember planetarium computer programs from when I was a kid that let you scan through a digital version of the sky and click on objects to learn about each one. I was mesmerized! Even to this day, I still find space and stellar objects mesmerizing. That's what drove me to create this set!
I hope this set brings you as much joy as I felt while making it! <3
I have been designing and producing enamel pins since 2019, for nearly 7 years. Celestial Incarnations will be my 11th pin campaign, and through the years I've gained a lot of experience and confidence in my ability to fulfill projects.
Returning backers will know that even through hiccups during the campaign, whether it be manufacturer issues or personal life things getting in the way, I have always delivered gorgeous high-quality products in the end.
I promise you can trust me to follow through and deliver you beautiful pins!
In May of 2026, I will be crowdfunding my first ita bag! This cross-body ita bag is smaller than most. It is designed to carry your everyday essentials such as your phone, ID, cards, cash, and more in a stylish (and witchy!) way.
This bag will be simple with no gimmicks. The star chain going across is removable and the bag will come with an adjustable leather strap. The interior space of the bag has two sections with a divider between them. Inside there is room for even more credit/club cards, a large zipper pocket for loose change or other small items, and another smaller interior zipper pocket. The insert will be swappable so you can change which pins you want to put on display as much as you want.
I have personally been using this prototype as my everyday bag for around 8 months now and it has worked super well for me and has held up beautifully.
You can find more information about it and follow for campaign updates on the pre-launch page: Basic Witch Ita Bag
***By pledging to this campaign, you are agreeing to ALL of the below disclaimers.***
Refunds & Exchanges
Refunds must be requested within 30 days after the campaign's end date. I will not accept refunds after this cutoff.
Backers are given ample time to make decisions while the survey is active. Once your order is locked in, I will not issue any refunds. If your order is locked but you want to make a change to your survey choices, please reach out to me at [email protected].
Once survey orders have been charged, I will not issue any refunds or facilitate any exchanges/changes to your order.
If your rewards arrive damaged during transit, please reach out to me with photos of the damage and we will work something out.
Surveys
Surveys will be sent out after the campaign's completion. Surveys are mandatory - this is where you will choose which rewards you want to receive and also where you will submit your shipping information. If I do not receive a survey response, I cannot send your rewards.
Forfeiture of rewards
Ample time is given for backers to submit their surveys to receive their rewards. If I do not receive a survey response from you by the time shipping is complete, you will forfeit your pledge and your rewards. I will not fulfill or refund forfeited rewards after the posted completion date.
Import fees & tariffs
All backers will be financially responsible for any potential import fees/taxes/duties upon reception of their package.
I will not issue any refunds for international backers who don't wish to pay fees/taxes/duties/tariffs when they receive their package.
Freebies, Cross-collab, & group incentive qualifications
Backers must pledge for at least 1 standard or jumbo enamel pin to qualify to receive any freebie incentive items. Backers who pledge for the $1 support tier will not qualify to receive any freebie incentive items unless they add at least 1 standard or jumbo pin to their order.
Grading
All pins are graded for quality assurance. Please note that all pins are handmade items and often have minor cosmetic imperfections (even those of A/Standard grade).
A Grade/Standard grade imperfections include but are not limited to:
minor surface scuffing on the enamel or metal plating
very small specs of dust in unnoticeable areas
minor/unnoticeable enamel underfill
minor/unnoticeable air bubbles
small specs of dust in soft enamel pins
small air bubbles in epoxy coating on pins that have it
slightly offset screenprinting on pins that have it
Color & Size
It is vital to understand that the images in this campaign are NOT photographs, but artist mockups of the pin designs. Due to manufacturing constraints, differences in colors of monitors between computers/phones/tablets etc, there will be variations between the images in the campaign and the final product.
Sometimes, I will need to make small changes to the pin designs based on manufacturer requirements. All changes will be conveyed to backers through updates.
Repeat Failed Backers
It has come to my attention that there are a few backers who repeatedly back my campaigns and then fail to pay.
Going forward, I will be keeping track of these backers and any backer who backs & fails to pay for 3 subsequent campaigns will be banned from participating in any of my future projects without exception.
Risks & Challenges
I have 7+ years of experience with making enamel pins so I don't expect there to be many issues, however there's always the possibility that unexpected delays can occur due to manufacturer mistakes, shipping delays, and/or quality control issues.
There is also the possibility that I may have to make small tweaks to the designs to maintain the integrity of the pins but there should be no major changes in overall design. I will always convey any issues that come up with backers through the updates section.
If I receive the pins and a design has a consistent flaw across majority of the pins, it will be considered standard grade for that batch.
If the flaw is something I consider major, however, I may have to reorder flawed pins which will cause shipping out rewards to be delayed. All this will be conveyed through post-campaign updates.
There is also the possibility that not all pin designs get funded. If this happens please understand that only the unlocked designs & items will be available as rewards. In the case the project does not get funded at all, you will not be charged and the pins will not be made.
PLEASE REMEMBER, I am only one person running everything, and sometimes Life Happens™️. Unexpected personal emergencies or other life happenings can come up and cause delays, so please understand that! Should any delays occur, I will communicate everything through post-campaign updates.
I will also give you all a gentle reminder that I am a real human being with feelings, so please try to remain kind & constructive with your communications with me. If someone becomes hateful in their communications with me, their pledge will be canceled & they will not be allowed to participate in any of my future campaigns.
