PIN-MAKING: WHIMSICAL AND WEE

There’s no way to know who likes what and why.

That’s why whenever I do my holiday lapel pins, I strive to offer a range of images and styles to suit all palates.

Generally, cute works. For Halloween, a fiercely spooky image might be off-putting, where a dog with a jack-o-lantern or a baby dressed as a pumpkin might win favors over, say, a sketch of a ferocious Frankenstein.

My pins are generally 2×2 inches. And size can matter, too.

Further, whenever possible, I try to do a series of wee pins – with images and artwork as small as 1×1 – if doable. Some folks favor undersized whimsy.

That said, this year’s Halloween pins have been distributed, for the most part, though I’m in the final stage of getting the remainder sent or delivered to folks who are eager to see what’s in store this year.

So, an early shout-out for a Happy Halloween. May there be more goodies than ghoulies in your midst.
