On November 17th last year I sold my first enamel pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com in an attempt to create a new stream of income that might eventually cover the expenses of trans healthcare instead of perpetual GoFundMes 🏳️‍⚧️ As we approach the anniversary, I'm going to celebrate one design each day

My first ever pin design was the LGBTree! I wanted to make something to celebrate the queerness I see in nature as a tree scientist. I even designed my first #SciArt backing card with an LGBTQ+ themed botanical fact! 🌳🏳️‍🌈 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1813...

My second pin design was actually this trans fern, although the complexity of full 3D design and modelling meant I only released it after a few later pins! I wanted to create something truly beautiful, that could be worn as both a pin and a necklace. canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...

Although the trans fern has never made a profit, its still one of my favourite #SciArt pieces I've created. I really love how it came out and I wear mine all the time. I even made a version that glows in the dark! 🌿🏳️‍⚧️ canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...
