Hey all ~

Launch is getting closer much too quickly. Time to preview some designs!

We're starting with Watership down because I have some extras for this one.



Its in the round up but I'm posting it again, we have our Pinquest 2026 freebie. Its a 1.5" mini pin, and there is a chance the manu will request we change the pattern for screen print but we're going to try and get it in metal. Back at least three participating campaigns to get a free mini pin from every Pinquest campaign that you back. There are some really good ones too.

The pattern is inspired by the puffin classic hardback edition of Watership Down. We continued that on and turned it into our book covers for this campaign;



Its off centre because of the spiral binding. We'll have both a5 and A6 versions of sticker books and notebooks with blank, graph, dot grid and lined paper (you'll be able to choose at the survey stage which kind of paper). We'll also have the A5 PVC leatherettes, which have an elastic closure band on them. They don't have A6 PVC ones for some reason.



Also matching washi! I really want to do a version with gold but sadly the min quantity is 100 rolls and I just can't justify it lmao. One day! We might do a hot pressed gold foil post card print though. 

The standard size pin for this book is Bigwig/Thlayli. I just love the whole character arc he went through... And you're going to see as we go forward I have a soft spot for the asshole good guys haha. This pin will be 2" high, hard enamel and with screen printed details. I didn't shade him because the colouration is so subtle I think it would get lost. It does make the pin seem quite simple overall, but I think it works with the shapes.


 
Lastly, our early bird freebie is the mini pin of the black rabbit. This is 1.5" hard enamel, with layers of screen print (same as our other skull pins). The ending of this book will never not make me cry, and its because of the compassionate and understanding, but inevitable representation of death. As a kid it had a huge impact on me, especially since as disabled as I am, it was something that was discussed a lot about me, but never really to me.

Anyway I highly recommend Watership Down to everyone, although prepare for emotional trauma. Also the audiobook is brilliant, its read by Peter Capaldi (yes, Dr Who). His Bigwig voice is amazing, and Keehar is very funny. 

Keep your suggestions coming! The only hard and fast rule I have is that it has to be a book/series I've read. We've already got The Animals of Farthing Wood, Warrior Cats, DCC and the Deptford Mice. Another DCC pin is in the works (a big 2.5" one), and I've sketched up a Redwall design next. We ruled it so everyone who made the suggestion before we confirm it gets a feather so, everyone who said Redwall before this point, that's you. Sadly I never read any Tamora Pierce (T_T). I hear I really missed out on that front. My TBR list is going to go through the roof after this :).

Stay tuned everyone! I'm going to try to get previews out for all the designs before launch because I want to yap about them.  

Hey all ~

Starting previews with a round up of all our freebies for this campaign :). I had a lot of trouble picking out mini pin designs this time around. 

Don't forget to vote on our poll too! Voting will give you points towards getting into the top ten on the community board ;).

If you can see this, you're probably following the project before launch. The reward will be a selective holo sticker, but I usually wait til the end of the campaign and pick the best design for holo from the full line up. It'll be 3in or more, with a coloured border and holographic sections. You can request a non holo sticker, but it will be randomly chosen from any of the other campaign designs.

First pin freebie is for anyone who backs in the first 48 hours. Design featuring the Black Rabbit of Inlé, one of my favourite interpretations of 'death' as a character. Size will be 1.5", with three layers of screen print (same as our other skull designs). We do allow a switcharoo if you really don't like the design, but it'll be for any random mini pin from our back catalogue, because this campaign is super light on mini pins. 

Anyone who's backed previous projects will get a little 1.5" blue fire lizard pin. The wings will feature a printed UV fade effect. Our hidden creator tier backers will get a special rainbow plated version, with a no swirl pearl effect for the wings (these will be for sale in the add-on store after the campaign as well).

This campaign is part of the Pin Quest 2026 event. Back three or more Pin Quest campaigns to get a book/story themed mini pin from each project. Ours is this 1.5" mini pin based on the Puffin Classic cover for Watership Down! (There's a chance the manu might insist we switch to screenprint for the pattern, but we'll see.)

We are collaborating with Mothmen Taxonomy by Cosmic Nightfell. Back both projects to get a free selective holo sticker from each project :). The design isn't totally finished yet so keep an eye out for that soon.

It'll be the same colours as the Pods and Pots campaign, still the Blue Jay design :). The feathers are awarded to our top 10 community leaderboard, then anyone who makes a suggestion that we use or catches an error in a news update (nicely T_T). 

We do make stickers for our freebie pin designs. I usually forget to sell them seperately but they do pop up in the mystery sticker packs if you choose 'this campaign only'.

 
Stay tuned for previews, and book/series spotlights over the next couple of weeks. We've got designs from Watership Down, The Animals of Farthing Wood, Warrior Cats, DCC, The Deptford Mice and more. Only one, maximum two designs from each series; there were just so many to choose from. 

As always, thanks for sticking with us :). Back soon!
