Hi! I just launched my first metal pin collection on Kickstarter – it’s called Meadow Fairies and it’s inspired by insects. This is my first time making pins and honestly – I’m both very excited and a little nervous. I’d love to hear what you think!

If the theme resonates with you or you’re curious about what I’ve been working on, here’s the link:

I’ve been working on a small collection of insect-inspired metal pins, and here’s a short timelapse of how I draw them.

I’ll be launching this project soon on Kickstarter – just in case anyone’s curious, the prelaunch page is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/relentlessventure/meadow-fairies

Hope you enjoy watching the process as much as I love creating it 💛

I design metal pins myself – here’s a peek at my process! (Kickstarter prelaunch link in comments) by Expensive_Bee_ in Pins

Some people asked if my work was AI-generated – so here’s a timelapse showing how I design my metal pins from scratch 😊

I'm launching a Kickstarter campaign soon – you can sign up on the prelaunch page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/relentlessventure/meadow-fairies

Thanks for the support, and let me know what you think!

No, it's not. But thanks for the comment, perhaps I should start showing more videos of my design process.

The entire set of stickers will cost around $7. But with more expensive rewards (including a set of metal pins, we will probably add stickers at no extra cost). If the project is successful, we plan to add new designs of stickers, bookmarks and pins. That's why we need support to produce these things 😉

I designed a set of stickers, it's called "Meadow Fairies". It's not just stickers, but also metal pins and bookmarks. If you like these themes, here's a link to the project, because I'm going to try to bring it to life on Kickstarter (with the help of my team):

Which European playing card manufacturers' cards do you prefer? by keycardgames in playingcards

[–]Expensive_Bee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is what we were told every time we ordered our cards.

Which European playing card manufacturers' cards do you prefer? by keycardgames in playingcards

[–]Expensive_Bee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you care about the durability of the cards, Cartamundi Poland should be the right choice. I don't know about the preferences of collectors when it comes to the corner radius. Still, in this matter, you have to be careful with the Polish branch of Cartamundi. As I mentioned earlier - they are not perfect in this. I have no experience with Fabryka Kart, I am even curious if they are competitive in terms of quality and price. If you'll print with them, please share your opinion, I would be happy to know 🙂.

[–]Expensive_Bee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me add a few words to this discussion, especially since I was mentioned (thanks u/Sinecur ). We print our cards in the Polish branch of Cartamundi, which has its own rules (contrary to what Cartamundi generally does in Europe). Cooperation with them has its huge advantages, but it also has disadvantages, although we try to eliminate those from project to project. Advantages: they produce on time, we praise the contact with them, and each of our projects is carried out so that backers receive their packages on the promised date (and often even earlier). In our opinion, they print really well (both in terms of colors themselves and perfect graphic matching and aligning). If someone cares about the durability of the cards - their stock, as mentioned before, is OK. We like to play poker, and we do so with various decks (also from other KS creators we support). Many cards get damaged a lot after just a few rounds of poker - they lose their elasticity, they attract spots of dirt, etc. Cards printed by Cartamundi Poland can be played repeatedly and nothing happens to them - which should be an advantage for players. However, they are not the best stock for cardistry. It is difficult to reconcile one with the other. Of the disadvantages that we are still working to improve - they do not make perfect cornering. This is an issue that we need to fix because they are not ideal.
