Thank you!! These robins and trees are my most holidayish designs if folks are interested in seasonal shopping ❄️ canopyrobin.etsy.com

It's #LGBTQSTEMDay so why not treat yourself to an "It's Dr Actually" pride pin or some queer #SciArt from a trans femme scientist?

One thing I love about doing all my own photography and modelling for my designs is that, not only do I get pictures of my pins, I also get snapshots of how I've changed over the last year

If you'd like to support me with my small business and transition expenses by getting a pin or two (they make fantastic gifts and I've just released some Christmas designs!), please check out and share my Etsy at canopyrobin.etsy.com

Another massive win was getting kind permission from @samreich.bsky.social to make stickers, pins, and patches, celebrating Pride with a design and slogan based on @gamechangershow.bsky.social.

I'm so grateful and @dropout.tv is truly the best and kindest steaming service out there right now!

Not only have I made pins for my own Etsy, I was also thrilled to design the official badge of LGBT+ History Month 2026, which was unveiled earlier this month. It meant a lot to be given this opportunity and I can't wait to see it properly in action next year, sharing queer science and innovation!

One year on, my pin business has been more successful that I could ever have imagined! I've made over 1500 sales of 17 designs, including pins, necklaces, and patches that total 106 different variations, plus a whole bunch of stickers!

One year ago today, I sold my first pin badge at canopyrobin.etsy.com and set out to fund my trans healthcare expenses sustainably by creating a small business alongside my fulltime job. This quoted thread shares the 17 designs and 106 variations I've made since then!

Please check them out! 🏳️‍⚧️

I'm also releasing a whole flock of robins for my seasonal pin drop!

There's one robin that's just regular bird colours but the rest are all pride flags from different aspects of my personal identity 😊🐦

And finally, today, one year after launching my first LGBTree pride pin to help fund transition, I'm launching another tree!

This time the trees are decorated for Christmas as part of my winter pin drop!

I think this is my last saved meme (there was context!) but it seems very self congratulatory 😅

My most recent pin designs are these split pronoun pins, which show different pronouns depending on the angle you see them from. It's such a cool effect and helps to ensure a mix of pronouns are actually used! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4396...

Probably my most popular recent pin, and one that I'm incredibly proud of, is this hinged tree identification design that brings me back to my roots as a forest ecologist. Not only is it a useful miniature guide, you can tap it to access a digital resource! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...

Accidentally melted a hole in the side of my microwave with the corner of a bag of popcorn. I wasn't aware that was something a person could do.
November 14, 2025 at 6:11 PM
and of course that I sell lots of pins etc at canopyrobin.etsy.com 😉

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway.

If you want a trans pin, either as a pride symbol or in solidarity, this is your regular reminder that I sell a bunch at canopyrobin.etsy.com

They're so pretty and I love watching them change colour during the day. There's also a little sparkle in there, so even when the colour isn't actively changing they still look magical canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4376...

It took me a long time to design pronoun pins because I wanted to create something really special, that I'd never seen before (also, the shape variations for each pin make them a relatively expensive investment).

I made these: colour change 'mood' pronoun pins!

While I was creating the Game Changer pride stickers, I decided to also create some large (10x15cm) trans flags in the hard-to-remove eggshell style. I like the idea that they're big enough to be seen from a distance and to have positive messages written on them canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4380...
November 13, 2025 at 7:18 AM
Realising that there may be so many flags now that it's hard to see the design, so here's a close-up of my trans gamechanger sticker! (Also available as pins and 26 other flags)
November 12, 2025 at 1:01 PM
Unfortunately, even these big three flags never managed to break even on the first run and the setup fees are high for each design, so I'm not planning any of the other flags in this form. I hope you enjoy these ones though! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4346...

In today's pinniversary countdown, I'll highlight the other Game Changer things I skipped yesterday. I also created embroidered patches and trans eggshell style stickers (very hard to remove)!
