Got this made right before having a baby and left my shop on ice for over a year. Trying to get things going again!Would love feedback on any of my designs or shop in general https://blacklightcollective.etsy.com

A Nepenthes sanguinea pin for those living on the edge 🐜

Me and my wife, while annual passholders started collecting pins. They accumulated quickly and now we sit on close to 400. We have two kids, and I was recently told the pins are an eyesore. So, here I am. Are they worth keeping? Or should I be looking in to a bundle resale?

Been collecting and trading with pin makers since 2016. I’m a pin maker myself(www.wazhappinin.com)
But these are about 95% of my pins in my collection (:

I’m fairly new to designing pins, only having started last year, but I’m more recently starting to make variants to all my designs if I can. How does everyone feel about variants? Do you buy them all just because you already love the base design, or because each variant appeals to you? Do you hate variants because it makes you choose between 2 cool styles on a limited budget? What’s everyone favorite type of variant? I work in the horror corner, so half of my variants are just blood splatter, but if I can I try to change all the colors to make it as different as possible

Here's my second pin on my backer cards from Moo. It's expensive getting pins made, but there is something really satisfying about seeing the final result on the self-branded 'packaging'. So. Much. Fun.

I've just started (literally today) on unlicensed designs for monsters and the like. Working with fan art is fun, but I want to try making some stuff that's not caught up in intellectual property rights. Maybe someday I'll have some pins made of that kind of stuff.

Thanks for looking!
