Pin mail! Got a Bratbox subscription with the theme of "DEATH" and an angel pin from Pokettoni!





Of the four Bratbox pins, I love the Lively Ghosts the most, and the Skeleton hugging booze the least, and overall I'm happy with it - especially with the great stickers!

Speaking of pinboards, what would you suggest for one? I'm currently using a corkboard from ikea but it is incredibly thin (the pins pierce through it entirely, but not enough to be easily capped) and I'm worried about durability.

I'm weird and like stretching canvas so my boards are a layer of either lovely old polyester blankets or quilt batting* stretched over wood stretcher bars, then I stretched some pretty yet neutral colored fabric over that. The advantages are you can make them any size you want and put bar and stick pins on them. The down side is with tack pins you won't be able to use the outside two inches or so of the edges for those type pins as the canvas bars will be in the way. If it helps I can pull one down off the wall and show the front/back of it.


*if you use quilt batting be very gentle in stretching it, it shreds and tears easily as it's not meant for this poo poo but it's there for some extra body for the pins to stab through. Felt could also work for this I would think.

Cat pin subscription sent out the pin for January so I'm gonna receive the cat compass rose pin sometime soonish. They have the pin for February up.

Hell yeah.

Also I've gotten access to a much better (though still not great) camera so when I finish putting some more pins on these little canvas party banners I picked up, I'll take some better pics of everything. By then I might even have the January cat pin.

I'm in the process of making some pins and was just wondering, is it generally more favorable to have two pin posts instead of one? (assuming the pin size allows for it)

I asked my pin discord:

yeah generally
if it's like 1.75 inches or more, 2 posts are better since
we wanna prevent it from swinging
I'd say it's probably a good idea to do it on 1.5 as well

Zee demands robo ache series — Today at 9:03 PM

YES
YES IT IS MORE FAVORABLE
Unless your pin is small and won’t move much on its own, always get two :uwot:

If there is an up to your design, you want two posts.

Long story short I made a fairly popular webseries called Marble Hornets on YouTube (it actually got its start on the SA Forums!). It ended in 2014 but I still sell merch for it on my storefront, as well as a continuation comic that I'm the writer for. I actually have 2 pins for sale already but noticed a lot of the pins I've bought for myself have two posts where the pins I sell only had one, so I figured I'd ask you guys.

If you're interested, my storefront is here: https://store.grampo.co/

Also unrelated I just finished putting together a pin board and I loved theming it and picking pins that complement each other -

On the subject of pin backs- the other option if it's a large enough pin is to have a safety pin style back. These cost more but are much more secure for holding a pin in place, and also has the advantage of not having a large locking mechanism that either falls off easily nor does it poke you very much if you wear the pin on clothing instead of on a bag.

Of course no locking mechanism is failproof but just putting that idea out there for the poster who was asking earlier.

Sadly that pin is no longer available, she moved to a v2 design and I got the v1 rabbit from a clearance sale. On top of that her store is still closed as she's working on shipping a pin campaign + is sick from something. BUT her pins are great so bookmark it! : https://www.alstroarts.com/

Went on amazon, poked around, ended up buying the smaller ones you linked without realizing how small they were (they can hold maybe like 8-10 pins each)

So now I've got some much larger ones being sent, woo.

Thinking I may just keep my big 2'x4' corkboard and augment it with some small themed hexagons around the edges

JESUS TURN IT OFF
WHY ARE YOU STILL SMILING
Now that I work in an office again, I've absolutely ramped up buying pins, and as of this evening, I've bought some decorative boards to put them on...



...but not enough, because I've still got this many without a place to rest. More hoops next paycheck I guess.



At first I was using this modular box and sticking them in spare acoustic foam, but then a lot of the last so many were TOO BIG for this, so even if the company hadn't been hosed by supply issues to the point I couldn't get a second for six months, I still needed an alternate solution.




I thought four would do it! I was wrong. I guess I'll keep going at it just in time to find another batch of these, I'm sure.
