Forums General Chit-Chat Enamel Pin Shadow Box is finally here!

Donator — She/her Posted 2 years ago ( 2022/01/23 18:28:10 )


Hi all, back again with another life update!

I ordered this Shadow Box for my enamel pins in early Jan from this Etsy Store

It came yesterday and then I spend an hour trying to figure out how I should arrange my pins. Here's what I came up with in the end. Any feedback is appreciated.

The sun was setting by the time I finished, sorry for the low light

It looks really good! I like your colour choice of white. They really pop out more, since I'm sure the black would kind of hide them a little.

@Aisukohi: Thanks! That was one of the reasons why I choose white. ^^

@dolornymph: Thank you! ^^

@Shark: Well, I can't say it was cheap, but it's very nicely made and I would buy another one again. I think the reason why it's so much is because the shipping is 'free' but it's probably just included in the price.

@Totalanimefan: yeah it is a little pricy. I think if I had more pins, it would be a good idea. but I only have like a couple.

@Shark: Yeah better to go with something like a banner maybe? They tend to be smaller and cheaper. ^^

I forget that Etsy is even a thing, but they do have some neat things on there. Might get my brothers some things from there since their birthdays are next month.

@Aisukohi: Also a good option for gift giving. ^^ I've been really into local/small shops lately. I feel like maybe it's the pandemic. Like I want to feel a connection and support local or small creators instead of horrible big business that just cares about stockholders.

@Totalanimefan: Right? Like, as convenient as Amazon can be, it doesn't sit well with me to buy from them after that whole tornado thing that happened to its employees, plus other incidents. Would rather support other humans that actually respect other humans.

    Ohhh, some of those are so pretty! I'm envious! Especially those lovely blossoms and cool retro scenery pins. Congratulations on getting your shadow box.

@Aisukohi: Totally agreed, but I know that not everyone can afford to shop local or even has local business, so I try to keep it to myself. But it's still something I'm passionate about.
@blue: Thank you! I think I love the retro scenery pins the most! I wish that I could find more like it. I just love to stare at them and pretend I'm there.
The blossoms are from the DC Cherry Blossom Fest and then one + the Cherry Blossom outline of DC are from local artists. ^^ I can link you to anything that you like. ^^

Have you decided on a spot to showcase your shadow box? o:

@Hadsvich: Thank you! Yeah it's a spinner. I wanted it to not go on it's side, but I guess that's just the way it is lol

Those are new, but they are my fav. I wish that more people made one of cityscapes. I could stare at those all day!

Thank you! I made like 1000 small decisions when trying to decide how to place these. T_T I was tired after lol
I'm thinking of getting a shelf and putting it up there? My husband said maybe the bedroom is a good spot for it, which it could be. I could also hang it if I wanted it, it comes with backing.

Those are from my cousin she won them at a contest but didn't want them. Gen 2 is my fav so I grabbed those quick! lol
