Happy Monday! I have some good news to share! The Crab as Crab enamel pin was unlocked via the Add-On Shop and will be put into production! 

You can add it to your order as an Add-On, and it will ship with the rest of your rewards. 

Unfortunately with the way the system works you cannot choose it as a pledge reward, I'm sorry about this and wish it was different!

This graphic is slightly out of date, but Rabbit Crab & Froggy Crabby have 5 pre-orders each! Calico Kitten Crabapple is sitting at 4 pre-orders. Buffcrab and Scream-Cry are holding on by the tips of their claws with only 1 pre-order each. 🥲

If you want any of these pins, now is the best time to purchase them, as the price will go from $14 each to $16 each after the pre-order shop closes. Any pre-orders that do not make the goal by the end date will be cancelled and refunded.

If you have your eye on a certain design AND you've already pledged (thank you so much!!) but it hasn't reached its goal, the next best thing you can do is be very annoying about your fav design on social media.  Ask me how I know!! 😂

Anyway! Do you follow me on Bluesky yet? You can boost the post I made about pre-orders directly from my account if your heart desires: https://bsky.app/profile/inki-drop.com/post/3lkgvfsjzds26

The pre-order shop & backer surveys close in a little under two weeks time. I'll charge cards for shipping & any Add-Ons you may have chosen at that time.

Thanks again for believing in my work!

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?
