Pods and Pots || Enamel Pin Collection

Hello;

Sorry for the delay.

Smoke tests should be out in the next day or so.

Upside of the delay is that we got some of the test products back already, so there are some pictures attached to the add-on store. 

If you could fill them out at your earliest convenience that helps me out with knowing how many of each pin to order. Cards won't be charged until everything is produced and we're ready to start shipping, so bear in mind that postage and fees can change between now and then. 

After that you won't hear much from me for a while, we'll be waiting for production for a bit since its busy season for manufacturers at the moment. 

Any trouble just let me know ~

Hey everyone ~

He's done;

Behold. This design was a monster to finish, sorry it took so long. This guy is going to be a standard (2") size with gold plating and a looot of screen print. 

And because I had to be extra with it;

Two alternative colourways will be in the add-on store, as post campaign stretch goals. I found references for all three colour schemes and I love them all but I can't fund them myself this time.

Speaking of post campaign stretch goals, we also have the coconut octopus;



This is just a sketch for now, I'll finish him if enough people buy one to fund. This is a mini pin, 1.5" with gold plating. If he funds the person who suggested it gets a feather ~.

Surveys are nearly done, just uploading all the pictures and deciding which designs to put on which stationery. My Flamboyant took about 10x longer than I thought he would to finish, but we're getting there.

Stay tuned :)

Well first of all, a massive thank you everyone!

What comes next is a (hopefully very) short wait. I'm going to finish up the last couple of designs, and then the surveys will go out. We're moving next week so there'll be a small delay until the beginning of March.

At the survey stage there will be an add-on store. The add-on store will have some of our old campaign pins, and other products with the octopus designs like stationery items, notebooks etc. You won't be charged at this point, your order won't lock in until shipping starts so you can add/change your order around until then. 

All the artwork will be finalised before surveys go out, so keep an eye out for updates with previews in them :).

Stay tuned!

Sorry everyone, 2026 is already kicking my ass 😂.

Here's the large version of the Veined Octopus pin. We'll stick with rose gold/copper plating and it'll be 2.5in in size, with a loooot of screen printed layers. I tweaked the design a little and added a highlight that I think really lifted it a bit. The large version is the only large design we have for this campaign, you need to add it to your order as a seperate add-on. You can find it in the add-on store now, or upgrade to the 'large pin bundle' where you can get it at a significant discount.

Here it is next to the standard version. Both are correct colourways for the coconut/veined octopus as far as I can see, just different phases.

So what's left? Well my next couple of days are insane, so I might not have any more artwork completed before the campaign finishes, unfortunately. But, here's a preview!



The flamboyant cuttlefish. 

.... I wasn't going to do any more cuttlefish but LOOK AT IT. Also they tippy tap across the ocean floor. Tiny stompies. I couldn't not. The design is going to be refined a bit, they have a tendency to curl their little tentacles up so I'm gonnna make that a bit more obvious I think. This is going to be a standard size with layered screen print. 

There's also a mini blue ringed octopus, but I had to start over with it already. It was meant to have a shard of the pot from the veined octopus pin so they pair together, but I just didn't like how it was coming out. But, soon! You will see.

As always, all artwork will be finalised before surveys go out after the campaign is over. These designs are all unlocked, if we do end up over £5500 I might look at doing a few more simple minis but this is all of the rest that's promised. 

Stay tuned ~
