Mini Cat Paw Gacha Pin Collection

Thank you, everyone!

First: please vote on the attached poll if you have an opinion on it/are interested in that colorway! I'll also email all who already backed for the alien paw before the month ends, so please keep an eye out for that! If it is not 100% unanimous by the people who actually have pledged for it so far (I have absolutely no way of knowing if the person who voted already is a current pledge), the metal color will stay black nickel, don't worry.

Second: Please check out my collab partner's preorder store and spread the word if you know anyone who wanted something that was still locked! I still have some ducks to get in a row for mine to be published, more on that below.


In the last few hours of the campaign, we did pass 3.7k and the matcha and chocolate matcha badges were unlocked as add-ons. They will also be on the surveys and preorder store! So will the 4" freebie sticker for backers of 5+ pins, it will be finished by the time those go live. All add-on limits for paws were also raised to 20, making a total of 30 available for each individual choice colorway. That extends to surveys, but individual choice will NOT be an option in the preorder store!

In the survey, I will ask people if they want to be charged immediately upon filling it out, or later when I plan to lock all of them (likely late April). Finances fluctuate, so please pick which option will be easiest for you to keep track of, I don't want to inadvertently cause any stress down the line. This is a new thing I'm testing out, however, so I may not get everyone who says "right now" within 24hrs of their response every time, depending on how delayed your survey response is after they're sent out.

I will likely send out surveys mid-March. My online shop is closed thru March while I try to improve my health back to a better baseline and also fulfill the Pintober rewards (half of those pins have shipped to me, half are still being worked on...). I also have to do more writing for my video game in the meantime, I don't have another convention until Colossalcon Prime at the end of May so I'm trying to take advantage of the "downtime." 

Back to preorder store...there are a few things I am adding to preorder store AND add-ons, like mentioned above and also liquid shakers, but I'll have the cat paw septums available only there as a stretch goal.


Since they won't be on surveys, if their goal isn't met, it is very easy to just not charge anyone for them. If they do get funded, it doesn't mean you have to be charged shipping twice if you are an original campaign backer and a preorder store backer, I can combine your shipping easily.

Thanks again!

Hi all! I am updating a little early, because I decided I can safely add all of the "3.8k stretch goal" add-ons at 3.7k. That puts us at $100 away at the moment, though I know it will continue to fluctuate.

If you have backed both mine and Holly's campaigns, please vote in the attached poll so I can start to get an idea of which colorway(s) are most popular!


Thank you, hope you had a great weekend!

Hi everyone! I am posting a few hundred early because crowdfunding campaigns always have a plateau period and I really want to get this info out to you, I feel like it's important. The actual 3.8k update will just be about everything included in it actually being live - this is to show what everything I previously haven't previewed looks like! 

Quickly adding that I have turned on "pay over time" (Afterpay) payment options for those who have pledges over $150 (should be an automatic option at checkout if you meet that minimum). I didn't realize it was an option. It isn't available for smaller totals. Now for the proper update.

Second, here are mockups for the new colorways of the cookie-shaped paw badges that unlock at 3.8k:



The freebie (for all pledges of over 5 pins) sticker is about halfway done, I'll share soon!

I also have a surprise - custom cat paw pins! This one I made live already, because it doesn't need to be an "unlockable" anymore. It's available as both a pledge tier and also an add-on, but combined limit between the two is 3 before I make it unavailable. Please read the listing for more info, but basically it's an exclusive rights commission for you to receive 25 pins of a paw design of your own! It will still use the same metal mold as my other pins.



However! This update is not yet done. At $5.3k... we would unlock the cat paw septum rings in 2 colorways!


The septum rings I design are plated, but the plating is thick and durable. They are a hypoallergenic brass and the plating is also hypoallergenic. This means no lead, cadmium, or nickel. For gold, plating is 18k, for silver it's rhodium, for black it's gunmetal. These won't turn your nose green or flake off. Just be sure not to apply salt or anything else corrosive to metal to your face while wearing it to avoid damaging it.

These will only be available as add-ons and not as pledge levels. Unlike the pins I won't offer them yet because it's a much loftier goal, I will make the listings visible once we hit 4.8k!  

If you didn't know, I have actually been getting septum rings made for years now, have sold out of and had to restock multiple designs, and have received compliments direct from piercers who have purchased some from me! Drop (distance from nose to inner center of ring) has varied based on my designs, but for the paws it's about 4-6mm. On my nose it's actually pretty snug, like the silicone nose below.



However, since this is my last year selling online, designs that sell out aren't being restocked anymore.



These will be $25/e and are actually discounted for backers, due to opal cost they will be $30/e in stock!! They will come in 16G and faux (faux is what is pictured above and slips right on/in). Each one is limited to 20 each.

I have a poll attached to help decide which 2 colorways will be available for unlock! There's also one live about Martian Paw's metal plating. Thank you!
