"Little Hops of Hope" is a collection of hard enamel pins that blend cute bunnies with themes of mental health and self-care. These aren't just pretty pins—they're tiny, gentle reminders designed to bring real comfort.
Welcome to "Little Hops of Hope"! 🐰🤍 The idea of this little project is to create something that really reasonates with my heart that I hope can touch some of you. I want to bring to life make small tokens of support (like gentle reminders) in the form of hard enamel pins, stickers and more! The "Little Hops of Hope" campaign will run for 26 days.
I illustrated these bunnies thinking of those going through a hard time, those who have ups and downs frequently or those who simply like to keep their mental health in check with little positive comfort-items! I also thought they would be nice gifts for friends, family or partners who are perhaps needing some extra love. Even if someone is displaying them and a stranger who’s currently feeling down sees it, they might feel just a little bit of hope.
Together, we can create something adorable, relatable and meaningful. Each bunny is a little friend for your self-care... and a little hop toward healing. For every backer who pledges for 2 pins or more, they will recieve a FREE A5 sticker sheet with some of my favorite bunnies! Backers who pledge for 4 pins or more will recieve the FREE A4 sticker sheet containing ALL of the desings from the Little Hops of Hope collection!
You can read more about the sticker sheets in the "Add-ons" section of the campaign.

I'm Julia! As a professional illustrator for over 10 years, I’ve explored everything from children's books to wedding invitations and, most recently, oracle card decks, enamel pins and plushies. Animals and nature are my biggest inspirations and I love weaving their cuteness and beauty into my work whenever I can.
Despite struggling with my mental health quite often (one of the reasons why Little Hops of Hope is meaningful to me) I always pour my heart and soul into making my art the best I can. I’m beyond grateful to have people's support on this journey. 🤍 After venturing myself on a successfully fulfilled Kickstarter project (ScandiNight Lenormand), I decided to give Backerkit a try! This is my second project here.
During my first Backerkit campaign I found an excellent manufacturer that I plan to continue working with. I intend to produce only the highest quality of pins to all my backers.
In Brazil, living the dream of selling my physical artwork online was a challenge, but now that I recently moved to Germany, I have the opportunity to make it a reality. Your support will help me dedicate myself fully to this creative endeavor, and it enables me to continue crafting meaningful art that resonates with people around the world.
