#aigoo rambles

After waiting weeks for the speech bubble pins (USPS sent it to Narnia, Middle-Earth, and the Labyrinth of Doom aka it went all over California), they have finally arrived! This meant I could finally put this Beauty and the Beast VHS board together with my sexy Obikin pins! I absolutely love this because it makes for a GREAT hiding place, bwahaha!

I finally got the package that I'd been waiting very impatiently for since March 8, which is when it left Chicago. I really thought USPS had lost this package, but it has arrived to me today, and it has absolutely made my day because my custom shadow box pinboard by Foxy Puffin Designs came! This meant I could finally put the pins I'd been using on my cheapo makeshift frame with a styrofoam backing onto an actual board.

I absolutely adore it so, so much. The starry black background is perfect for them, and I love all the pins. I honestly don't collect any Mustafar-related pins because I pretend that whole thing never happened (YAY FOR AU), but this pin was a MUST HAVE because it's totally AU and this is canon for me, ahaha! I must have my happy ending!

The crystal pins are from Celestial Faerie Trove, the The Song of Achilles pin is from Amanda Baldwin (I don't care that this pin is in regards to Achilles and Patroclus -- this quote still fits Anakin and Obi-Wan!!!), the AU and Happy Ending pins are from Foundling Mercantile, and the Mustafar pin is from Designs by Joe.

At work today, I had to type up my self-feedback on my performance appraisal, and doing that gave me the idea of how Obi-Wan and Anakin would do their self-feedback, and this is what I scratched out in a minute. I had a good laugh at work -- oh, what one will do to keep themselves sane at work . . .

Last year, I had completed my sexy Obikin board. Today, I finally finished the "gorgeous" Obikin board. These pins are all gorgeous and of amazing quality. The two planet pins and the stained glass pins are secondhand, and the rest are all new -- all on a custom made pin board.

The pin board maker is Foxy Puffin Designs.

The pins are made by KJones Crafts, Foundling Mercantile, and Hunter and Convor.

Guess who found the Pop Mart bobblehead figures of Anakin and Obi-Wan on Japanese Mercari? Guess who paid a lot of extra fees to use Buyee for the first time to get them? Guess who is happy to have gotten them despite the extra fees and is pleased to not go through the blind box hell and now have these adorable figures in her collection?

I've been wanting to do this for a while -- create a list of all the art I've commed. It's like 97% Obikin, with some Bailkin and Ferus thrown into the mix. I was originally going to put this list on Tumblr, but halfway through the list, I discovered that Tumblr has a limit on the number of links one can put in a single post . . . yes, I counted and discovered I had exceeded the 100 links with this list.
