Hi! My name is Ellen “Kyote” Siergiej and I have a new set of pins I’d like to make. Welcome to my Sugar Skull Cats enamel pin kickstarter! This will be my first time making enamel pins on my own, but I do have a pin under my belt from the Trashsters set that Merebear and I did.
These cat pins are designed after real life fabulous felines! When two of my good friends announced they were getting married and having a Dia de los Muertos themed wedding, I sketched their three kitties adorned with sugar skull masks as a gift. Once the groom colored the sketches and had them printed for a sign at the ceremony, I knew they would make really cute pins. I got the okay from the happy couple and now here we are! I’m pleased to introduce the Watson, Trinny, and Norman pins!
You can choose any of the unlocked pin designs after the campaign ends. The images below are mockups; the design may be adjusted but will not change significantly!
Also included in this campaign is a limited tier of 100 for the Kickstarter Make 100 event. Pledging at this tier will get you a custom illustration of a sugar skull animal in the style of the pins. You can get your pet drawn, your favorite animal, or even your own personal character design. The image must be an animal of some kind (real or mythical); humans and humanoids are not available for this reward. The artwork will be done in ink and marker and the original will be matted and mailed to you. (Please note that this tier does not include reproduction rights to the image; if you would like to reproduce the work or use it to create stickers, prints, etc., please contact me for pricing.)
Whether you backed the campaign, shared my Kickstarter online, or just took the time to read to this point, THANK YOU so much! Your support means the world to me. :)
This is my second Kickstarter and I will be using the same manufacturer that made my first pin. I have a buffer calculated into the fulfillment timeline but with any project, delays can happen. I will provide regular updates and alert backers in the event the factory or I run into any issues.
