I've been struggling with my art & business the last few years and your support of this project has helped encourage me to KEEP GOING! Even if the "going" looks different than what it used to be. So, thank you!! My heart is very full of crabby encouragement. 

Surveys will be sent on or before March 14th--I'm taking a little break from the madness to recharge.

You'll be able to select your fav Crabapple pin designs from the funded designs at that time. 

All designs that didn't get funded during the campaign are now available in the pre-order shop, with a much lower goal for each. Once the design is unlocked, each respective design will be made-to-order just for you.

I can't predict how this effort will go--its new for me too!--but it seems like a good way for these last designs to have a second chance! Below is an example of the pre-order shop. You can go there now if you'd like by tapping on the graphic or clicking this link.

You won't be charged for any additional pre-order purchases until I charge cards at the close of the pre-order shop period (end of March). You'll also be charged for project shipping fees at that time. I'll give a few reminders, so don't worry!

Hello everyone!

We've made it! The final hours are upon us.

As of this update, we've unlocked 9 out of 15 designs. Huzzah!

Thank you so much for being a part of this project! You made this project GREAT! :D

The price of additional pins will go up immediately after the campaign ends, to $14 each for a single pin.

You can lock in pricing by pledging for higher tiers. And the support of an increased pledge helps us get that much closer to each design!

Our current single pin price is $12, a crabtastic $4 savings over the $16 retail price of each pin.

But did you know that our Crabby Pinpalooza tier works out to only $9.90 per pin (vs the retail price of $16). This tier gives you 15 pins total, plus a free Classic Crabapple lanyard. This tier is a great way to split designs with a friend, or to hoard all the crabby goodness for yourself, ehehe.

If 15 pins is just too many pins, the Five Pins tier is also a fantastic choice! The pins in this pledge level are $11.20 each vs the final retail price of $16.


As always, drop a comment if you have any questions. Let's end this project with a spectacular crabby crash through the gates!!

I can't express how grateful I am for your support. 

Thank you!!

Doesn't Crabapple look so cute in their froggy costume? This is the final pin design for this campaign. What do you think?

This pin design will be available in the backer survey, which I'll send out in a week or so after the campaign finishes. 

Scream-Cry Crabapple is next up, and as of this update he is 89% funded ☺️

The idea of Crabapple with beefy arms makes me laugh, so why not make it into a pin? This is based on a silly sketch I made some months ago. It is the next-to-last design in the roster for this project, so let's keep our promo game as strong as Crabapple 💪🏼🦀💪🏼

I've added Classic Crabapple lanyards to the Add-On shop! Also, all Crabby Pinpalooza-level backers will receive a lanyard for free with the rest of their rewards. 

Thanks for all the support as always! :)

This design features Crabapple dressed as a Maryland blue crab--I picked this species as a nod to where I grew up.

This design will unlock when we hit $6150 in funding.

Two design reveals left! What do you think is hiding behind these silhouettes? Leave a comment if you have a guess!


This was a short campaign and we easily unlocked 8 out of 15 designs in the first couple days, so I believe we can unlock the rest with group effort 💪🏼🦀

Thanks as always for your continued support. Please continue to share this project with your pals!
