Final Poll + Two new bird designs
3 months ago – Thu, May 28, 2026 at 11:36:08 AM

Hello Bird Lovers,
Thank you for your patience! I have fixed all of the previous designs based on the samples I recieved and completed these two birds sponsored by Deborah Sebrell, take a look:
The Final Flapping Birds poll has ended with the winners being the Canada Goose and Barn Owl, so vote to determine the 2 Wooden pins and 1 large sticker below! Surveys are definitely delayed and therefore so are shipments, but I will get these birds to you all within a reasonable timeframe. 

If the combined votes for Feral Pigeon and Rock Dove are enough, then the most voted on of those wins as the two options are similar birds. 

Vote, Upcoming Designs, 6th Goal met
3 months ago – Fri, May 15, 2026 at 07:08:47 AM

Hello bird lovers,
Thank you so much for the very successful campaign! Backing has officially ended. We far passed our 5th goal, so I will concider a 6th goal met and do a further two flapping bird designs and a sticker sheet of all designs. Unfortunately it seems a flapping enamel pin's cost is out of our reach this time, but I will likely do a future campaign with that as the main concept so stay tuned...

It was originally planned to have 2 weeks until surveys (and I will be doing my best to get as many birds drawn as I can within this time), however, I seem to have a lot to catch up on! So, surveys will likely need to be delayed so you can make your decisions with visuals for all options. 

Heres whats upcoming:

Sponsored Flapping Birds:
  • Black Capped Chickadee Sponsored by Deborah Sebrell
  • Eastern Bluebird Sponsored by Deborah Sebrell
  • Bearded Vulture Sponsored by Smollock
  • Hoatzin Sponsored by Smollock
Unlocked Flapping Birds:
  • Turquoise Browed Motmot
  • Red Winged Blackbird
  • Sun Bittern
  • Top 2 in the votes below will be the next 2 birds
Other:
  • 2 Wooden pins (future vote)
  • 1 large sticker with special effect (future vote)
  • Sticker Sheet of all flapping bird designs
Please vote on the final two Flapping Birds below! Any remaining will be moved on to the wooden pin and sticker vote. 

PS. Think you'll want to add something from the above to your order? You'll be able to during survey time! Miss the campaign? There will eventually be a preorder store up once all designs are complete, which will last until fufillment is done. After which, any leftovers will go on Etsy! 

New Sticker Bundle
3 months ago – Mon, May 11, 2026 at 11:25:28 AM

Hello bird lovers,
We just got our first Sponsor Tier fully ordered! Thanks to Deborah Sebrell, I will be creating both Black-capped Chickadee and Eastern Bluebird charms in addition to our unlocked ones- so look forward to those! If you selected the Sponsor Tier but did not send me information nor Kofi payment, make sure to read the description of the Tier asap.

Additionally, here are the artworks for the new 2" Frosted Sticker trio you unlocked- featuring a Blue Jay, Grackle, and House Sparrow! This set can be found in the Add-Ons, only $6 for all three!

Only 3 days left of the campaign... After it ends, I will be working hard on getting any remaining artworks complete. After 2 weeks, surveys will go out and you can make your choices!

Sample GIFs

Hello bird lovers,
Some samples are here! Take a look below. I will have to change the Eurasian Magpie a bit (not depicted) as the wing shape and placements didnt quite work. 

Scarlet Macaw

I think the only tweak on this one is to add some clear area to the body so the wings can be a little further apart. 

California Condor

I'm unsure if this one needs any changes. What do you think?

Blue Crowned Pigeon

Needs to be bigger and have some clear chest area like the Macaw

Superb Bird of Paradise Thick Wiggly Standee

The reflections within the standee add an interesting effect, but I dont think anything can be done about that.
