The Fae Dragons are live on Kickstarter! Five hard enamel dragon pins with a sixth pins stretch goal.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theretrograph/the-fae-dragons-a-hard-enamel-fantasy-pin-collection

And it is full of different interactive enamel pins~

My new collection of five (plus one bonus) Fae Dragon hard enamel pins are going live on Kickstarter in just four days! Every year I create a dragon pin series exclusively for my booth at Dragon Con, and for 2026 we are celebrating the Fae world. Each pin is hard enamel and 2 inches across with 2 secure rubber pinbacks. Pins will deliver the first week of September.

As a special bonus, if the project reaches the low stretch goal, I'll be adding in a silver Frost Dragon which be included free in every pledge of five pins.

Hi y'all!

I'm thinking about starting an online enamel pin shop and would really appreciate any advice from those who have been through the process :)

Would you recommend that first-time pin makers work with a local manufacturer or go directly to an overseas factory if they're willing to learn?

How did you decide how many pins to order for your first release?

Looking back, what mistakes did you make when starting and what would you do differently?

Are there any manufacturers or suppliers you'd recommend for beginners? I'm currently researching options and trying to avoid common mistakes.

How do you verify that a manufacturer is legitimate before sending a deposit?

My goal is to build a small brand focused on western, country, gothic, and occult-inspired enamel pins, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible before placing my first order.

I'd love to hear about your experiences and connect with other pin makers in the community!

Also, if you had a budget of around $500–1,000, how would you spend it for your first launch?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help! 🤍

Hi! I'm working on an OC enamel pin series called Cozy Pond Minis, featuring cute little pond wildlife. It's launching on August 6 at 1 PM EDT / 10 AM PST.

If you like any of the designs, I hope I can get your support when it goes live!

Coming soon to Backerkit!

Hoping to fund the 6 main pop girls as enamel pins :)

Hi everybody! Just wanted to let you all know that all designs are funded, and we have about a week left on this campaign so if you know anybody who is a fan of digital circus and loves pins, feel free to share this to them! :) Click here to check out the project: Wonderful Digital Carnival Kickstarter

I've never made any pins before but I have an idea and I want to make it a reality! But the cost of production to even get started is so high. So I was thrilled to learn that pin crowdfunds are a pretty common thing, but I have no idea how to go about determining a price, advertising the campaign and all the other things that I don't even know that I don't know.....

SO. If any of you veterans (or even beginners!) have any advice I would greatly appreciate it!!!

I'm still deciding on a manufacturer (if anyone has any recommendations to PM me i would be ETERNALLY in your debt), but the one I'm looking at now charges ~$3.80 per pin for 50 1" pins- Regardless of that, I'm not sure what the standard price is for a 1 inch soft enamel pin?? Or what to consider when calculating it?

Also, I'm not sure how long people are usually willing to wait for things like these? And I'm assuming that if I'm wanting to continue to sell the pins after the initial kickstarter, I should probably charge enough per pin that once the goal is reached I'll have enough to buy extra pins to continue to sell them?? So I guess the goal should be enough to cover the production of all the pins people will buy and then some???...

...I guess I oughta sit down with a spreadsheet and calculate all this LMAO But what are some things I ought to consider when setting the campaign goal and pin price?

TLDR; what should I keep in mind when creating a pin crowdfund and determining the goal and price of pins? and what other tips and advice do you have for a beginner? tyall!!!!!

Working on my next set of hard enamel dragon pins ahead of Dragon Con in September. Finished my first two this afternoon, Cinder and Autumn. These will be hard enamel, 2 inches across. I plan to have them up on Kickstarter later this month. Link to come later :)

Hello, everyone.

Half a year ago, my best buddy and I had an idea during one of our late-night Discord chats. We are both big nerds for fantasy and mythological stuff and wondered how fun it would be to have banners or coat of arms for different orientations and identities. What could they look like, and which mythical creature could fit well or just be fun to see like that? Thus, this little collection was born!

We got:

-Hydra of Omni

-Unicorn of Pride

- The Phoenix of Trans

- The Siren of Lesbian

- The Winged Lion of Gay

- The Griffon of Aro

- The Dragon of Ace

- The Harpy of Sapphic

- The Minotaur of Achillean

- The Oroboros of Intersex [really proud of that one]

- The Hippocampus of Genderfluid

- The Sphinx of AroAce

- The Peryton of Non-binary

- The Winged Wolf of Bisexual

- And Pan for...well Pansexual

WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING A KICKSTARTER TO TURN THESE INTO PATCHES AND PINS

If you want one of these designs and support our project, come check out our current campaign.

We are live till the end of July:
