Hello, hello! I’m Odessa, also known to some as Crow-- the artist, creator, and cryptid behind Key & Crow Studios and this campaign! I am a queer, disabled, and chronically ill creator, coming to you from a strange liminal era in my life due to a string of health issues, pandemic complications, and other events. I’ve been in the pin business for about two and a half years now, learning the ins and outs of the process for pin design and production, not to mention running and managing crowdfunding campaigns. This time around, I'm giving Backerkit's funding platform a shot to see how I like it!

The original Tastefully Spooky campaign was an astounding success, and the second production run of Garden Ghost pins are all but entirely sold out as of writing up this campaign, only a handful of standard pins and some b-grades remain.

The Collection

The Tastefully Spooky Collection was inspired by the first Garden Ghost sculpture that I made on a whim in 2021, along with some of the aesthetics and sensibilities of the Art Nouveau movement.

All collection pins are gold plated hard enamel pins, with shiny enamel filling and comes on an exclusive backing card with gold foil accents and a metal clutch. Each main collection pin measures 25mm, while the mini pins measure at 10mm. Additionally, the moon phases on the Lunar Pumpkin pin are glow in the dark.

The charms are double-sided, double-board acrylic, measuring 3".
Washi tape is somewhat translucent, and will appear slightly different on different color surfaces. Each roll is 25mm wide and 10 meters of repositionable, non-permanent adhesive paper tape.    

This campaign once again features early bird pricing for the first 48 hours, on top of crowdfunding prices that are lower than they will be in my shop. along with a brand new pin design!

For the restock campaign, a fresh never-before-released design has been added to the project to make it a reality! I've been wanting to expand the collection since the original campaign, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so!

This funky little guy will be 45mm/1.75" and has been unlocked at $1500!

Disclaimers

Designs may be slightly altered during production (if they are, there will be an update) and colors may look slightly different than what you see on your screen, as they are a physical object vs. a digital asset. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! With many aspects of this type of work often out of my hands, delays are very possible, along with expected on my end at this point, but will not impact the quality of the product you will receive! Shipping time is the most affected by the circumstances, and you will be updated with any significant changes to the timeline.
