Periodical and Annual Cicada Enamel Pins on Kickstarter
If you missed my Periodical Cicada pin project in 2021 — we are running a Kickstarter to raise funds to make more since they sold out and I’m adding a green colorway to represent the Annual Cicada. You can pledge using the link below until July 12, 2024:

Currently two different broods of cicadas that emerge every 13 and 17 years are appearing in 2024 (for the first time since 1803). It is now a good time to celebrate the cicadas again!
Both pins are the same design structure and will be produced at 1.5″ tall. We will be using matte gold plating and translucent enamel for the wings. Each pin will be fixed with a brown rubber clutch and is packaged with a backing card made from real oak wood. The design portrays an hourglass shape of the body made with the overlapping wings that evokes time passage.
Thank you for your support and for sharing this project with your friends and bug enthusiasts.
