I have a couple of pins. they are really special because they were gifts. one is a Flying V Guitar, and the other is The Tasmanian Devil from the cartoon, very rare both of them.
January 19, 2020 at 6:03 pm #1599735I would love Windstone pins!
I use pins as cubicle & wall decorations. They’re really a really convenient way of adding a bit of color and cheer at work, though I mostly stick with more “grown-up” pins like metal-tone and NASA there. At home I use pins in shadowboxes to hold things in place, and those ones are whatever takes my fancy.
Continuing the family tradition of being obsessed with shiny things.
January 19, 2020 at 6:47 pm #1599739I have a sizable ‘broch’ style pin and lapel and tie-tac pin collections of all types of items. Animals, birds, fantasy critters, oriental symbols/critters, airplanes and ‘event’ pins, as well. Also pins made from carved antler and 3-D pewter pins. I love pins of all types – not just enamel. I’ve participated in six ‘pin’ Kickstarters within the past two years. ^_^
I’d definitely get some!

but I wouldn’t mind some Windstone ones!
4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male GriffinJanuary 20, 2020 at 3:12 am #1599747I get pins from blind boxes and LootCrates. They’re usually a surprise and always really cool. That’s how I started I collect pins and key chains… among other things…cough-hoarder-cough!! lol! I would love some Windstone pins!
Melody, I recommend the double pin backing for the collectors out there who plan to wear them.
Wanted: "Dragon Fruit" Male Dragon ~ "Fire Berry", "Paradise", "Dragon Fruit", "Tie Dye" ~ The brighter, the better!
January 20, 2020 at 9:49 am #1599767Melody – I love enamel pins! I get them whenever I travel, so I have them from different states, different countries, national parks, etc, etc. These pins from Fantasia are some of my favorites. The Silmaril pins were created by Jenny Dolfen (on Etsy) for the 50th anniversary of The Tolkien Society last year. They’re very pretty. And I love my Welsh Dragon!
Always looking for a lovely GB Young Unicorns, TP Male Dragons or TP Male Griffins!
January 20, 2020 at 10:57 am #1599776Those are great!
AHA, The dragon is transparent red over a detailed background, so that does work! I haven’t seen very many other examples of that technique. I love the texture of the gold area in the Silmarilion ones.January 20, 2020 at 4:05 pm #1599833I have some beanie baby pins that are pretty cute. I would love unicorn, pegasus, kirin, dragon, griffin and poad pins!
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
January 21, 2020 at 8:16 am #1599892Lots of folks collect them! They are a very hot item in several of the online communities I am in (fantasy art, furries, fandoms). Some folks have researched the best places to have them made, both ethically and environmentally, even! This company is the best that I know of, in case it is helpful. https://www.pingamestrong.com/
Some people collect them and leave them on the backer, some people collect them and put them on cork boards to display them (it looks really cool), and of course some wear them!Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
My art: featherdust.comJanuary 21, 2020 at 8:47 am #1599896LOL!! It makes me think of that scene in Office Space where Jennifer Aniston gets in trouble for not wearing enough “flash” or enamel pins! If it were me, I’d be the annoying guy with my whole shirt and suspenders covered in them!

I like to put pins and buttons on back packs and hats, as well as wear them with outfits. In fact, I had a straw cowboy that I had FILLED with tie tac pins! It was too heavy to wear comfortably, so I just displayed it for a while. I’ve made up my own tie tac pins too…
I also LOVE Patches! I have a hoodie jacket those only purpose is to sew patches onto and display them! ^_^IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT GRAILS:

*** Come visit me on deviantArt at http://ela-hara.deviantart.comJanuary 21, 2020 at 3:57 pm #1599931I appreciate the work that goes into enameled pins but I really don’t have a place to display or to wear them. Some of them are truly gorgeous though.
Really like that Welsh Dragon Bodancia, it’s gorgeous!

Most are 3-D, several have glitter, and all have UV and/or glow. The dragonfly and butterfly have hinges so the wings can be folded and moved. The biggest pin on this board is 4.5″ x 3.25″
Only exceptions are the fox with lantern, which was purchased on Etsy, and the cat with knife was found on eBay
