From The Valley: An Affordable Hard Enamel Pin Collection

Howdy! I’m Jessie, I’m a UK based small time artist from Liverpool, and this is my 3rd enamel pin project! By now, I have a trusted manufacturer who has created many high quality pins for me, and we are excited to be bringing you this collection! The first three pins have already been produced previously and have already been a smash hit on Etsy:
🐚 Mermaid Pendant
⭐️ Stardrop
🐥Blue Hen
I have had many requests for various pins over the past year, but as I am still a small artist who also works a full 9-5 day job, I haven't been able to produce a lot of pins all at once. This often leads to a trickle of new pins coming through every now and then, which means higher posts costs for the lovely people who want to keep up with the collection! So now I am now bring this project to Backerkit so I can get even more designs to you all much faster! This also means cheaper shipping costs for you as you can order everything you want in one bundle!
I have already self funded and begun production on a couple of designs, hence the goal and targets of this project being much lower than my typical goals! You can find out more about the new pins in the collection in the section below, and if you'd like to see some reviews of my previous work, you can check out my Etsy!
Enamel pins are a popular and easy way to show off your love for your favourite fandom, but sometimes the cost can pull on those purse strings! My biggest goal with this project is create affordable, yet effective pins that look like they cost more than a bottle of Starfruit Wine! I am also part-funding this project myself to make the unlock goals even more accessible!
So with that in mind, all pins in the set will be just £8 each! There are also some additional discounts on larger orders- these have been set up on the pledge tiers: order 5 pins and get 10% off, order 12 pins and get £15 off! Postage costs will also be a set price, so if you place a BIG order, you won't be charged extra!
All pins in this collection have been designed to be simple yet effective, keeping their cost affordable but their style A-list worthy!
All pins will:
Be 1.5 inches in length
Be Gold plated
Have glitter enamel effect
Have 2 pin posts with semi-clear rubber backings
To start with, there will be the initial goal plus 3 stretch goals for this campaign:
As these 3 pins have been produced previously, there is no additional cost for the mould meaning I can fund them much more easily! This however does mean that these 3 pins will NOT have my "Jessie Inkswell" branding stamp on the back.
Final designs and colours may vary slightly to the above references depending on enamel colour availability and production factors.
I would love to see all pin designs unlocked, and the easiest way to do this is by you pledging for the pins that you want at the start instead of waiting for them to unlock. So please don’t hesitate and make your pledge today!
