Another free pin anouncment (and a happy new year)
4 months ago – Thu, Jan 01, 2026 at 09:24:15 AM

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!)



What should the mini pin for the Mereside mermaid be?!
4 months ago – Wed, Dec 24, 2025 at 08:20:51 AM

Quick poll for over the Christmas period!

What do you want the mini pin to be for the Mereside Mermaid?! 

The current ideas are: crab, shell(S),  ship anchor or some sort of fish (will be local to the seas around UK)! 
Please vote in the poll on what idea you like or comment if you have any other ideas! 


Also I have finished the design of the free sticker you will get for free if you follow the project now and back when it's live!  (it will either be 3 or 4 inches)



It is the crooked spire of Chesterfield! Built in roughly 1362, One story says that the Devil was resting on the spire, his tail wrapped around it for support. The smell of incense from inside the church made him sneeze, and the violence of the sneeze caused the spire to twist. It twists at 45 degrees and leans just over 9ft!  
This will also be available as an add-on! 

Beast of bodmin designs!
5 months ago – Sun, Dec 14, 2025 at 01:46:05 PM

Hello I wanted to share with you all two new designs based on the 'beast of bodmin', a large black feline reported to prowl the countryside since the 70s!

The main pin:

will be around 2 inches, gold metal with UV screenprint

And the mini pin:

Either will be 1.25-1.5 inches gold metal, with UV screenprint. 

Hope you like them! <3 
More updates to follow as I finish the remaining designs! 
 

Cross collab anouncement!
5 months ago – Sat, Dec 06, 2025 at 10:23:59 AM

This time, I am partnering up with  "MCC Zines" and their adorable Zodiac-based pins! 
 
Take a look at their launch page here:

Kawaii Lunar Zodiac Set


Back their project and this project (Mythological Creatures!), and you will get two FREE pins! (one from each of us!)

While they are still working on their design, I would like to share with you the design I have created for it.

The phoenix!
Originally, I was going to do a mini pin, but I got a little carried away, so this is likely going to need to be a full-sized 1.75-2 inches (depending on what the manufacturer says) 

I hope you like it! Be sure to follow our collab partner!
