Poll - Which cryptid should inspire my next pin design?!
4 months ago – Thu, Jan 29, 2026 at 12:16:25 AM

Hey everyone!

As mentioned a few days ago, I’d love to design another pin as a new stretch goal and I thought asking my audience would be the coolest way to decide on which cryptid to go for!

I like anything a bit more obscure or weird, so the poll options include some pretty random options, but please cast your vote if you get a spare minute as I’d love to hear your opinion. 🤘

The poll will close on the 31st so it gives me enough time to get the design done before the campaign ends. Again, thank you so much for the support on this project so far, it’s been awesome! 

Cheers,
Lydia (PhaseMoth)

What a fantastic launch! What comes next….👀

Hey everyone!🤘

Amazing news - all 8 pin designs have been unlocked! Thanks so much for the great response to my new designs, this has been a wonderful and humbling experience and I can’t wait to get the enamel pins ordered and in your hands once the campaign ends.

But what now?!

I’ve decided that as the campaign has gone so well, I’m going to design an extra pin if we hit a new stretch goal of £5,800! I’ll be posting a poll for you all to decide on which cryptid I should base the pin on, so keep a look out over the next few days.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for supporting mine ( and Abi’s ) project!

Cheers,
Lydia

Ta-dah ! Here's a secret new fourth design - the Snallygaster!

This creature is such a weird one; part dragon, part bird, one eye and tentacles that come out of its beak?! Let's go! I wanted this design to incorporate its slaying so I went for a bunch of arrows piercing its eye~

As with the others, there will be a rainbow version too. Stay tuned for the reveal of the foil mini print design soon~! 

Here’s the third design, the Chupacabra!

Here’s the third design, this time inspired by the Chupacabra and its thirst for blood! I was very experimental with this one~

There will also be rainbow version!

Here's a look at the second completed pin design, The Mothman!
5 months ago – Wed, Jan 07, 2026 at 07:38:13 AM


For this design, I wanted to depict more of the "harbinger" of doom aspect of the lore of Mothman, particularly when it came to the tragedy of the Silver Bridge disaster after his sighting in the 60s. The stars represent the souls of the people who lost their lives after the event happened. 
This one is the gold plated version, but there will also be a rainbow version available too!
