#pinmaking

It’s official, my pride and joy has officially gone into production!! Here is the original artwork, the pin mock-up I created, and finally the finished art proof from my manufacturer. It took me almost two weeks to finalize this because I was so insistent on it being absolutely perfect, but she’s ready now and I couldn’t be happier.

Some details on her:

LE 50

2.5” tall

Hard enamel and gold plated

Transparent, multilevel sandblasted background

Glitter hair accents

Screenprinted details

If you want to get one of these, I will be hoping to fill 11 presale slots on my Etsy to help us fund her here.

Each presale pin will be $29 plus shipping, and I’ll have that open worldwide.

I understand that there is a risk to be backing this when the pins are not made yet, so I understand if you’d rather wait until they are in hand to buy one. That being said, this will be the cheapest these pins will be (she’s been pretty expensive to create) and I’ll make sure to throw in all sorts of goodies like vinyl stickers of the original artwork and handwritten thank you notes + more to everyone kind enough to help me fund this through presales!

If you can’t purchase one, even a reblog would help me tremendously if you are interested in this pin or seeing any more pins from me in the future, both so I can reach more people but also so I can gauge interest levels.

I’ll be keeping everyone updated on her manufacturing process here, under my pin making tag, as well as hopefully my instagram if I can remember to do so.

Anyways, thank you to all of my friends for encouraging me to try this before I even thought to go public with this, @makotolovebot for helping me front some of the initial costs to get started, and to all of you for being so kind.

I still have a couple questions pending, but this means I can actually lower the funding goal after factoring in fees and shipping if I choose to go with them.
