Ribbits everyone,

Thank you all so much for the comments and suggestions in the last update! I've noted them all down and will use them to make pin designs.



For now I'm quickly popping in to show the first 4 designs I've finished! 

For the Early and Returning backers I'll make some exclusive stickers again. And there's another new thing during this Pintopia: banner sections! I'll be in Pin Safari which means that if everyone in the banner has been unlocked you get an extra exclusive sticker for free. Each participant in the banner has a different sticker so it's worth to check it out!

Wishing you all a frogtastic day!

Ribbits everyone!

We're toadally excited to return to Frogtastic Frogs #2 for upcoming Pintopia 2026!
You can expect loads of frogs but also toads and some salamanders/axolotl this time round.

We started with writing down all the fun amphibians we found in a big list below. (You might notice some that you all have suggested during the survey from Frogtastic Frogs!) Important to know: This list is not set in stone, some amphibians might be mentioned but won't be turned into an enamel pin. I am however very curious to see which ones have your preference! If you want, you can let me know which have your preference by leaving a comment on this update!

I wanna draw the Miyako toad and Colorado river toad for sure. But also the Giant Salamander and an Axolotl (but which colour variant..?)

Also fun to know, we'll be partnering up again with Roundbirbart! You can expect a fun cross collab exclusive enamel pin and the helpful combined shipping again!

And good news: US backers are welcome! 🇺🇸✨
