Hey Pintopians! There's 200+ of us this year, so I thought it'd be a great idea to see who's here on Bsky. Let's do an art share! Here's what you'll do: 📌Show some ART (not just the link) of your pins in the project! 📌Tell us a little! 📌Give us the link for where to back it! 📌Add alt text to images!

Frogtastic Frogs 2 is now live 🐸✨ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s... #enamelpin #frogs #herpetology

Ribbits everyone! 🐸 I'm Appel and back with more Frogtastic Frogs! With more amphibians to be turned into semi-realistic enamel pins. All are unlocked, we're now working towards stretch goals; special variants, like axolotls! Previous designs are available too! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

please know when I use the ✨ emoji, I do not mean anything to do with AI. they stole my emoji from me.

It's my birthday! 🐸✨🎉 For everyone a slice of home made matcha cake with whipped cream!

Annual reminder the sticker mule is a garbage company with a vile owner and mid stickers to boot. Literally any other sticker service is better than sticker mule. Personally I really like StickerApp.

Y'all like pins? @kenspinhustle.bsky.social has put together this great list of furry-created enamel pin crowdfunding projects that could use your support! Come shop furry creators and get some really cool extras for your pledge. www.furrycoc.com/blog/furry-p... #Pintopia #FurryMarketplace #BSNM

More pinmail! More froggies! @appeltjesgroen.bsky.social

I had to pick up some other deadlines to get all the things sorted (damn taxes!) but today I finally sat down and worked on some of the new stretch goals for Frogtastic Frogs 🐸 The project has hit a plateau at this moment, but that's normal with bigger project, excited to see where we'll end up at!

We are reaching that repeating point again of me doing so much work and prep that I haven't sketched or draw something for myself. Sunday is my birthday, and I always make the whole month of February my birthday month, so here's to a birthday gift to myself: more drawing days.

Thank you for the thread! I’m PondHQ and I designed a lily pad ita bag and multiple pins!! It’s halfway funded but I’m hopefully I can hit my goal! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

Hey, I’m grind3h! I’m doing a campaign focused on cute, silly, stylized pins of various types of animals. I wanted to make a large variety of critters- and ended up making 25 designs in total, including 1 mini pin and a creator sponsored design! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

ahhhhhhhhhhh

More amphibians to be unlocked and of course reveal over the upcoming week! ✨ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

This project has shown so much abundance. We fully funded, all designs unlocked and new freebies are thrown into the mix! Thank you #Pintopia! “Abundance” is still available as exclusive reward. #enamelpin #watercolor #art #nature #euseller

Mint Chocoturtle update! 💚 We're over the halfway hump and riding the wave toward the project goal~ Adopt your own Mint Chocoturtle here ⤵️ www.backerkit.com/c/projects/i...

Today is bookkeeping day. This week is the last week for the quarterly taxes of 2025 and it NEEDS to be done. (I probably have to pay a bunch so I need to be on top of it.) Let's see how far I get with a simmering headache and complete tiredness.

We passed the first 48h which means the Early Backer freebie sticker is no longer available. I have also added stretch goals! The Giant Salamander has already been unlocked ✨🐸

Finding reference for the Cane Toad which will be a stretch goal and.. I'm sorry but this picture reminds me a certain orange turd across the Atlantic ocean 😂 Knowing it's a pest/plague in Australia and a threat to their native animals is even more fitting.

CROAKS! We've unlocked ALL AMPHIBIANS!!! Thank you all so much!! All that's left is the tadpole set of mini pins, but we're very close! I better go and set up the stretch goals I have prepared.

This year started strong with already 4 books read. Two were with a buddy read, so they are not entirely my type of books to read. But in a way that's entertaining. Travel Light I HIGHLY recommend tho! Gorgeous mythical short story, published in 1952 originally. #books #appelreads

TONIGHT!!

Seeing mutuals and artists I wanted to visit and throw money at getting rejected from DoKomi hurts :( hope the waitlist favors them and other endeavors work out for them all

Just did the finishing touches! The launch is tomorrow at 19h CET and I'm so curious to see which designs will get unlocked

FOCUS ON: THE CAPYBARA You can adopt one here: evanskyarts.com/en/products/... A simple, yet extremely efficient design; this zen capybara was such a blast to create! The yuzu balanced on the head is, in my opinion, the detail that makes it ✨ pop ✨ #art #handmade #SmallBusiness #Cute #Artist

My enamel pin project goes LIVE on January 22 at 7pm GMT/10am PST! Part of #Pintopia on BackerKit, it'll launch at the same time with many other wonderful pin, ita bag and plush projects! You can follow the project here before it launches (and receive a freebie): www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

The socks will be delivered this week! (Hopefully, if the snow doesn't bother the delivery too much.)

doing a lot of year-end wrap up for the shop, slots, and taxes. did you know that SOFT ENAMEL isn't just for cheap temu bootlegs? this vintage pin style isn't out of fashion yet - there's some special effects you can do with it that hard enamel can't pull off. #furry #furryart #disney #donbluth

Cronch cronch cronch ❄️

After several years of no snow at the coast of the Netherlands, we've gotten a bunch of it!! so I cronched my way over to the park and enjoyed the view and the sounds of my boots before work. If it's like this tomorrow, I'll go again and bring seeds for the birds.
