It's that time again! Chloe here, welcoming you to Porcelain Pooches and Bark Types - brought to you by Pin & Tonic!
If you follow me, it's probably abundantly clear that I, am a dog person. I love all animals, but canines hold a special place in my heart (my lap, my bed and my sofa most of the time too...) so this campaign is dedicated to them.
Our first goal funds six good doggos! Each pin features dyed metal with screenprinted patterns, they have a beatiful smooth finish. Two pin posts keep them from wondering off, no need for recall training these babies!
I have already produced a few breeds in this collection as part of my Monthly Pin Club, here is a photograph of a physical pin in this style so you can see exactly how gorgeously they come out! Meet the Porcelain Poodle 🩵
Rather than release these monthly for the rest of my life (and to save my poor club members!!) I have turned to BackerKit to fund them as a collection.
WHAT'S THIS?! Another whole collection?! What a treat! Also unlocked by the initial goal are nine more designs featuring some special guest stars, head to my website to view them.
These are planned to be blind bag pins, but to thank you for supporting the campaign you will be able to choose which design you would like!
Stretch goals will be announced as the campaign progresses based on backer feedback! There will be options for more pin designs plus alternative merchandise options including keyrings, magnets, apparel and all sorts of other goodies. To start with I thought I would treat you all to two new pin designs, voted for by backers!
Three new Porcelain Pooch breeds have been added and immediately unlocked! There is a new Bark Type to be added as soon as the artwork is completed.
I love a bit of homeware and am pleased to say I have found a supplier for tea towels!
These will retail at £14 each and will be available as add-ons once the stretch goal has been achieved.
They feature all of the Porcelain breeds I have drawn so far 💙🩵
Desperate for your favourite to be added to the roster for either collection? New for this campaign, I am offering the opportunity to sponsor a specific design!

To keep pledges simple and fair for backers worldwide, shipping will be charged after the campaign based on your location and final rewards. This means you only pay exactly what it costs to send your rewards safely to you.
All rewards will ship in protective packaging, with the option to upgrade to tracked shipping in the survey if you’d like added peace of mind for the journey.
Tariffs for USA based customers will be charged at the survey stage. As most of my items are produced in the UK this will be a 10% tariff plus handling fees.
Customs duties for backers outside of the United Kingdom and USA will not be charged for. Please refer to your own country's rules to work out what you may be charged for import.
Pins will be sent on campaign themed backing cards - multiple pins will be combined onto one large card as they travel better this way!
The vast majority of my packaging is recyclable/made from recycled materials and I try to avoid single use plastics.
Pin & Tonic is a little studio dreamed up, designed, and run by just me here in the UK. Every pin begins as a doodle, then grows into a shiny little treasure through coffee fuelled sketch sessions, colour tinkering, and obsessive fussing over details. I am always thinking about what to work on next, what will make you guys happy and how I can make you smile!
I do it all! Ideas, artwork, packing... so that each piece arrives with personality, care, and a sprinkle of P&T shine.
Thank you for supporting a one person creative adventure. Your backing helps me to continue what I love and to share that with our community~! ✨
