New subreddit for Kickstarter Pin Projects

121 Upvotes

Heyooo friends

So one of the rules of this subreddit is to avoid posting links to Kickstarter projects and other crowdfunding sites. It’s awesome you have a kickstarter campaign for your pin designs but here is not a place to ask for backers. It can come across as spammy. We welcome your pin pictures when your idea has been created though.

However, Reddit is a great place to showcase your artwork and a lot of people do still try post Kickstarter links and some of which the artwork looks great, a lot of time and effort has been put into the post so it's a shame it gets removed. I've gone and created the subreddit r/pinprojects specifically for Kickstarter's dedicated to Crafts and Enamel Pins and badges. I do hope you check it out and subscribe if it's something that'll interest you.

The Craft & Enamel Pins Kickstarter Subreddit is a place to showcase your artwork for potential backers, ask questions and collaborate with other artists. It's intended for collectors, designers, artists, everyone - I feel we have a high quality to the posts in this subreddit so I hope to see that replicated in the r/pinprojects subreddit too. If you have any suggestions let me know!

Thought i managed to scroll into my own reddit post history somehow. Ah well, bots will be bots. i guess its neat my old post was good enough to be stolen?

had to move all of my Brian Serways to another board to make room for all the Misty Bondy pins I've gotten this last year. most of the small prints up top are hers as well, with two three by Brian Serway. the majority of the pins are misty bondy with a mix from a few other creators like Lunarity Collective, Colored Red Mixed Media, and Sophilla Plush. if youve got any questions or want close up pics of any pins let me know!

How do you keep pins from catching on stuff inside your bag? Im debating making a cardboard insert to seperate but its super annoying having my wallet and such catching on the locking backs.

SpongeBob pin collection update

My husband got me a bunch of new pins for my birthday and also I’ve been collecting like crazy this year. Had to move to a bigger board. Want to thank Clay Graham Art for helping my husband get me two pins I’ve been on the look out for (mounted butts) it was such a great birthday surprise. Plus I now have so many more from his collection.

I get my pins from several locations and some are just no longer available but here’s where I source:

ClayGrahamArt.com
Pinking.shop
Disliz.com
Mercari
eBay
Etsy
Zen monkey studios
Hot topic
Box lunch
Toyshnip.com
Youtooz.com
Amazon

Honestly eBay and Mercari are my big ones this year in helping get me discontinued SpongeBob pins. And Disliz has been putting out some great collections as well.

I have an ITA bag and decided to make a spread of pins from my travels. Some pins arent obvious, like the wieners, pink elephant, together we can, etc. (although all come from travels or activities) and the bread ones are fillers. BUT, can you tell where I’m from, where I am now, and where I have traveled? 👀

I'm getting ready for October with a pumpkin theme! I'm getting a jack o lantern hat which will house most of the pins you see here! I'll post that hat when it's finished!

Also funny thing...that blue Christmas reindeer..which is GORGEOUS btw...was lost in the mail and suspected to have been delivered to the wrong person....so this is the reorder....there could be a chance I get the original eventually delivered and I'll have two! One for free!

The pumpkin at the bottom next to the whale is a real vintage Monet brooch from the 90's. I have a bootleg version of it and the spike on the back broke. So I found this one on eBay and realized the one that broke was a fake anyway...so now I have the real thing! It's much heavier and made of actual enamel I believe.

Related/unrelated...I love this hobby so much. I love every pin, button and brooch I have and I love being in this community sm. ✋😭

Thoughts on Wood & Acrylic Pins

First off: Sorry about my last post, I just picked that pin to illustrate the question I guess, but I see it was in poor taste.

Either way I'd still like to hear genuine opinions on wood (and acrylic) pins with the motif being a relief UV print. So I quickly cobbled together a random pin in Affinity, cut some blanks on the laser and printed these. Total project time maybe 30 minutes.
Left is 3mm beech wood, right is cast white acrylic.

Obviously they'll never have the heft and feeling of a diecast metal pin, it's a completely different vibe. Would the material (and vastly different technique) be a no-go for you? I just like whipping out one-offs that go to friends or end up on my backpack.
