For the past several months, I have been designing enamel pins and plush based on some well-known cats. And I was hoping that you nice folks might want to help make some of them a reality?
One day I had the thought while trying to use my loafing cat as a pillow, 'this would be much easier if I had a loaf cat plush' And so the Muffin Cat design was born! (named after my cat <3)
^this material to be used for the leaf
Isn't she beautiful? :3
Not pillow sized yet, unfortunately, but I hope to be able to size her up sometime in the future, if this campaign goes well! I wanted a simple loaf cat design, that could (theoretically) be made in a number of different colors in the future~
Next, an enamel pin of Holly!
there's also a mini-pin design of her; dyed and screen-printed enamel because I love how soft and marshmallow-y those pins look!
and lastly something I think is really neat, metal bookmarks! these were a lot of work to make, so I don't know that I'll be designing any more for this campaign; but I love these designs so much X3
I've made paper prototypes to make sure they fit on pages properly// Bluejay (right) fits on the corner of a page, Blaze (left) has his tail stick out over the spine, and Holly (middle) goes on the top of a page

If the plush and pins are successfully funded I'll have a poll for what people want to be the next goal; Either another pin design or one of the bookmarks <3
Our first goal is 1600$s for holly, then pins, then ???!
Want to support the project and get some art of your favorite cats? there are also sticker sheets! 4x6, with 8-9 cats on one sheet. Available as it's own pledge level as well as an add-on :3
Want a bigger sticker of your favorite? All the designs are available as an add-on 2" sticker!
While this is my first crowdfunding campaign, I have done a lot of research on how to run one of these. Of course no amount of preparation will be the same as the real thing, so... I will almost definitely make mistakes with this.
PLEASE be prepared for shipping to be super expensive outside of the U.S. It sucks, but I do not have the means to ship to the EU.
U.S. shipping for a single plush will be 6$, up to 3 pins will be 4$; Canada 10$, 8$ Int. 30$, 18$ though that's just an estimate and things may very well change before the end of the campaign. Shipping fees will be collected post-campaign in the Pledge Manager Shipping fees are in USD
I really hope you all like Holly as much as I do, and I do hope we get to make some more fun stuff past the initial goal :3 Thank you all so much for your interest, may the stars light your path!
