All backers who pledge in the first 48 hours will receive a Roundy Boi Crabapple Mini Enamel Pin! It's my way of saying super thank you for believing in my project right at the start.

Have you backed any of my other projects? Yay! Nice to have you here. You'll automatically get a Roundy Boi vinyl sticker, regardless of when you support the project. 

For this project I wanted to create a line of enamel pins featuring my most popular original character, Crabapple™. Even after 10+ years his sass is unchallenged in the inki-Drop universe. So, let's celebrate with new crabby delights!

For this project, we're going to unlock one pin at a time. In addition to the crowd-curated favorites (thanks for voting in my silly polls!), there will be surprises dotted along the way~

💖 WELCOME TO PINTOPIA — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of over 175 creators collectively launching their pin and/or plushie project on BackerKit from January 23rd - February 13.

This time I'm partnering with the lovely Maegan Cook to create a cute & crabby combination of goodies! Her charming, chill character Skellie makes a wonderful contrast with Crabapple's cranky moods.

Support both projects and get the cute freebie cross-collab enamel pins below for FREE! Click either of the graphics below to be whisked away to Maegan's project. 

Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins — Most of the 175+ Pintopia creators have paired up with a fellow participant to create two unique pin designs together. If BOTH projects reach their initial funding goal, backers who support BOTH will get the TWO [2] cross-collab pins for FREE! One from each creator. The more pairs of Pintopia creators you support, the more free pins you will earn ✨

A much requested feature on past projects o' mine! I'm super happy to offer a curated selection of plush that will ship with your enamel pin rewards. This is a great way to start or add to your inki-Drop plush collection.

Available for adoption during this campaign are Crabapple plush, Pineapple Crab plush & Orange Crab plush. However, quantities are limited. 

Roundy Boi mini pins are also available if you missed out on the Early Bird offer, or would simply like another.

Please note: Add-On items will incur additional shipping fees. Please see FAQ for more details.

For this project, I am working with White Squirrel for US packages and shipping from my home in Barcelona, Spain for all other package destinations.

For my sanity and more accurate budgeting for us all, shipping to your door will be charged after the campaign is complete, and is not factored into the goal amount for the project. Shipping will be charged by weight; I have provided estimates below.

I'm excited to announce that thanks to Correos España, I can ship super affordably to most international destinations.

Fundraising period - Jan 23rd to Feb 13th
Funds clearing period - one month (mid-march)

My manufacturer is well trusted amongst my peers and our project ends after Chinese New Year, so I don't foresee any factory delays. However, the world is unpredictable and the above dates are only an estimate. 

I'm Shelly! I design cute merch based on the wonderful & weird things in the sea. I live in Barcelona, Spain, with my partner and our pets: a fluffy, derpy little chihuahua named Mochi, and our 17-year-old grandpa cat, Captain. Besides making art, I love plants and gardening, trying new recipes & playing video games like Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem & Genshin Impact.

I started my company in 2013 with the plush Crabapple, and I've launched 8 other crowdfunding projects since then, coming up with all sorts of cute, wonderful characters. This pin project is my 9th, and second with BackerKit.
