I was cutting backing cards so that I can have a better self-serve display for Matsuricon. I just figured out that my isopod charm earrings can fit on the smaller backing cards. The smaller backing cards are much easier to display, so I’m pleased! #enamelpins #isopod #earrings
I’m working on some axolotl dragon pin designs for an upcoming campaign. I wanted to base the colors on real axolotl color morphs. So far I have a golden albino, leucistic, and lavender colors. I think I’m going to make the laying pose be axanthic. #axolotl #illustration
The finished designs for the Dragon Tide pins. I prefer sketching physically as it's a bit more comfortable for me. I brought this drawing into Photoshop to ink it, and drew the water shaping digitally so that I could more easily tweak it as I went. #dragonart #enamelpin #pintopia
I realized that I never posted the finished designs for the Backer’s Choice stretch goals from my Elemental Myth Backerkit campaign that ran in February. For the white and red design, I am using rose gold colored plating on the metal. I’ve never used this color before! #kitsune #enamelpin
48 hours left to pledge to Dragons in the Garden! Help me finish the campaign super strong! ✨ #pintopia #enamelpins #crowdfunding #pincollector www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...
Dragons in the Garden - Enamel Pin Set
Our gardens have new guests: dragons! They each rest among the sunflowers, lilies, hydrangeas, and other blooms in these 1.8–2” pins, framed by flowers and drifting clouds.

48 hours remain!! We're so close to making these real omg 🥺🥺 The sock samples are almost in my hands now too! I will make a video once they are 💜 Thank you to everyone who has shared this #enamelpin project so far, I love ya'll so so much > www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... #insects #sciart
Here are the drawings for the Backer’s Choice stretch goal for my enamel pin campaign on Backerkit.The top voted theme was Kitsune with Foxfire. I will be finishing the final artwork this weekend. As with the Wyvern Wind and Phoenix Fire collections, there will be two color variations for this set.
A few of the pin collections from my Pintopia Backerkit Campaign. I decided to have the molds do double-duty and make some jewelry from them as well! I did this during the Isopod colony campaign and got pretty handy around a jump ring! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
I'll be participating in Pintopia 2026 over on Backerkit! I'm creating enamel pins that feature mythological creatures and elements! Pintopia begins January 22, but if you want to follow my project early, the launch party will have updates as I create new designs: tinyurl.com/elementalmyth
The Isopod Colony Backerkit campaign had most of its items arrive earlier than expected. I’ve begun shipping out items for early fulfillment. Packaging and packing all of these goodies is stupidly satisfying. I hope that everyone enjoys their isopod goodies!
The Isopod Colony Backerkit campaign will be ending soon. This week we unlocked new stretch goals; in addition to being able to produce the isopod leaf pins & jewelry, the star candy isopod pins & blind bags, we’ve unlocked a series of mini pins. #isopod #enamelpins #backerkit
The Isopod Colony Backerkit campaign is live! bit.ly/BK-IsopodCol... This campaign is for a collection of hard enamel pins and jewelry featuring isopods in two themes: earth tone leaves, and candy colored stars. #isopod #enamelpins #backerkit
I recently learned that Clip Studio can save a timelapse of your process, so I thought I’d try making some short videos. I admit that I’m still a creature of the 2000’s, and prefer still images with long blog posts and giant, threaded conversations. But this was still fun to do. #isopod #enamelpins
We are down to the last week on this campaign - we've got even metallic dragons! kobolds! Maybe even Bahamut, if we can crush the last stretch goal 💪 #dnd #5e #dungeonsanddragons #enamelpins 🔗https://tinyurl.com/chromaticpins
I’m working on additional isopod enamel pin designs. To get the most out of each mold, I’d like to do one color variant per design I have personal favorite isopod morphs, but I’m also curious if there are any specific species or color morphs people would like to see included? #isopods #enamelpins
I’m working on getting some finishing off some isopod pin designs for a project on backerkit. I have a few species and morphs I’d like to include, but if anyone has any favorites, I’m all ears! #isopods #enamelpins
I'm creating an enamel pin to learn the process and work with a manufacturer. I wanted to do 2 variants. I'm stuck on the night variant. The pin will be hard enamel with gold metal. Do you think it looks better with pale gold glitter enamel wings, or with the white enamel wings and spot color?
I applied to the Galaxycon Columbus 2025 artist alley and was accepted! This will be my first time vending at a con since 2010. The convention is in December. Time to make some trinkets!
In November of 2024 Flight Rising released the Everlux dragon breed. Designing a new dragon for Flight Rising is always an interesting challenge. #flightrising #dragon I’ve included what images I could, but due to text limitations the full blog post is at www.strangelittlecreatures.com?p=44
