Mythological creatures!

Hello!
Another quick update to show we have hit two more unlocks! Nessy and the Pendle witches! -Both the main pins have special effects! Since we are well on our way to the Mersey mermaid as well!

As always, every single pledge, big or small, is greatly appreciated, and I am totally flattered by how many of you like my designs! <3

I want to give another teaser for the mystery last unlock :)

unlocked reminders:



Also, don't forget to back our colab partner! for two free cyptid pins!




   

Hey! Another quick update to say the Beast of Bodmin and Mordiford Dragon have been unlocked! -and we are very close to hitting Nessy!

You are all killing it! Thank you so much again!

I am going to admit there is ONE more hidden unlock after the Mersey mermaid! The design is still a WIP, but my hint is; that it is small and fuzzy! (and of course a UK cryptid)

A huge thank you to everyone who backed so far! We hit the first unlock in the first 4 hours! That means the two Black Shuck pins will be made!

We are well on our way to our second goal as well! (Beast of Bodmin)

I am blown away by all your support! <3

Not backed yet? Click here to view the project!

Don't forget backing in the first 48 hours gets you a free statford lion pin!

Ok so I have finished off the remaining pin designs and we are about ready to go!
(the campaign starts on the 22nd of jan!)

firstly we have the Loch Ness monster designs!

The main pin will be 2 inches with a pearl swirl effect on the body to give him a glimmering 'wet' look!  
 

The second is the mini pin, which will be 1.25 inch approx!
Since sometimes Nessy is depicted as a plesiosaurus-like beast, and sometimes a serpentine-like creature, I decided to go with one of each!  thus the mini pin is closer in design to a danger noodle. :)


Secondly, the Mersy mermaid!

Luring saliors into misfortune with her beauty and sound, this two inch pin will have an Antique gold plating, to give this monster girl a more old-worldy feel!   

The mini pin to go with her is that of a Purple topshell snail shell! 
This is a small but pretty snail that is common in the waters around the UK, preferring rocky, shallow areas, exactly the sort of places there mersy mermaid would reside!

finally here's a quick guide to the order of which pins will be unlocked at what price goals!
The first goal (£1,300) includes unlocking both black shuck pins the 3 freebie pins, the freebie magnet, sticker and the free bookmarks that come with every order!
   


I think that is it for now! You can get a good look at all the designs again on the launch page if you wish! 
Attached is a poll to see what pin sets you are looking forward to most! 

We have joined the Lore and Myth banner for this 2026 Pintopia!



Welcome to Lore and Myth- A banner of Pintopia where artists of a similar theme gather together. From folklore, mythology, legends and more, you can find this collection here(https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/coming_soon?id=lore-myth) running from January 22 – February 12, 2026

Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins - Back 3 or more Lore and Myth campaigns and get a free exclusive mini pin from each creator!

My free mini pin is going to be this cute Jackalope bunny!


This isn't a UK-themed myth; however, the Jackalope is the bestiary's logo, and I just have a super soft spot for them, so jackalope it is! I also included extra horns along its face to reflect that the main theory behind Jackalopes is that rabbits affected with Shope papilloma virus. I guess a slightly grim but interesting addition to this little magical baby bun!
 



There's still a little time to vote on the mermaid mini pin! Both shells and the ship's anchor are fairly close!
if we end up with a tie (or close to) I will try to do something that mixes both together!

Hope you have a fantastic new years day!


Edit:
Additionally, there is a preview of the other free pin you will get when backing the cross-colab partner -I previously shown of our Pheoenix, but we can now show you a preview of theirs as well! (a pretty Kelpie pin!)
