I’ve been collecting enamel pins for a couple of years now, and sometimes I want something that is either too niche to already exist or is related to an uninvolved party’s copyright, or both.
To get around this I’ve dabbled in DIY pins before, hand-etching acrylic panes to use as molds for solder—don’t try this at home unless you know what you’re doing—as well as 3D painting onto flat bases, but both methods take forever, and the results have always been pretty
uglyunrefined. I’ve recently started experimenting with 3D-printing and potentially combining it with silicone casting (don’t want to spend 50 bucks every time I want to try a new color or want to gift one).Of course, my favorite horse bot has been on my To-DIY-list for a while, so I thought why not use this as an opportunity to test some new sizes and depths with the material.
I saw this when I saw it on Tumblr earlier today, and then I checked Tumblr and saw this exact same pin on my own blog a few minutes later. And I’m like “yeah, that’s one of my pins,” and then I checked the tumblr and I was like “yes, that is indeed one of my pins.”
I don’t know what this means, but this was definitely the most mysterious thing to happen in 2017 so far
I think the reason it looks familiar is because it’s based on your icon!
You’re a crafty equine, Frank; have you ever made pins at home? Do you have any tips for me?
I have to admit that I’ve been planning to start making them myself, I think I’ll see how to print the pins and then decide
