Greek pantheon as cute enamel pins
Hey guys
Here is my design of Nyx, goddess of darkness & the night.
I couldn't choose between gold and silver plating, so please let me know below your favourite. I may do both...
She has the crescent moon & the sky mist in her wings, which she is most noted for. She will be 50mm and INSTANTLY unlocked <3 <3
Hey guys,
So with 90% of the vote (that's here and Instagram), the Dorset design won. So I've added her to the main page and she is already unlocked!! I'm grateful that so many of you increased your pledges as that means a lot so thank you so much.
On another note, our second stretch goal is Hephaestus. Truth be told, Hephaestus was going to be our first stretch goal. We originally did thirteen designs and therefore held one back as twelve is a cleaner number to start with. However, due to the popularity of Persephone, we designed & placed her first.
Hope you guys like him and apologises if he wasn't your preferred deity. Our plan going forward is to do one more design and then a free pin. It all depends on how well we do :).
We have added new reward tiers for these new designs and for those with the early bird twelve pin rewards - adjust to add an extra pin to keep your reward, you will also get an extra sticker and postcard for each pin added :)
FINALLY. Sticker sets and postcard sets will include all the gods. So for the price of 12 you will receive 13/14/15 depending on how many designs are unlocked.
Phew, I think that's everything. Thank you!!!

Wow, Hephaestus has unlocked already *mind blown*. That was so fast! Thank you for all the lovely comments and messages we have been receiving, they really give the confidence boost I need some days <3
As it's the weekend I can work on the final design and it will be ... Nyx! Goddess of the night, whose power rivals that of Zeus. She will be depicted as a bat :)
Hope you all have a great weekend

Hey guys,
So. I went with the lamb due to her association with spring and Hades being a ram. I'm 100% aware that bats and talking birds are connected with her, but I don't see that working as well as a lamb. Maybe if she was standalone or Halloween themed etc I could see it working, but that's not what this series is about.
Her softer pink flames are to show that whilst she is Queen of the underworld, she isn't inherently evil like Hades and rebirth is a part of her story.
The pomegranates link to Hade's deception of tricking her into eating pomegranates seeds which tied her to him and the underworld.
The flowers are Asphodel, the flower of the underworld.
She will be 50mm (like Hades) and the flames will be glitter enamel as well. Her "coat" will be screenprinted.

Which do you lamb breed do you prefer?
We have reached £2,250 which means Dionysus is unlocked!! Also Hermes our Facebook goal is also unlocked with shares being shared included. Such an amazing lot you are and only 1 pin to go!
I am currently working on a design for an extra pin for a stretch goal. Persephone! There were so many good ideas and I think beings like Cerberus & Medusa deserve their own mini-series.
So, Persephone will snug fit with Hades and will be depicted as a lamb. This is to complement Hades' animal but also fits in with her connection to spring. I'm thinking pink/red flames & flowers instead of skulls. What do you think?
Rest assured that should we smash more targets then a couple more may be added after her.
I really only have weekends to draw as my work is draining everything from me at the moment, so watch this space for her completed design (may ask for opinions on Instagram stories, so give us a follow to help shape her)
