LOLA THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN WOLFDOG - SOFT ENAMEL PINS
Well, the pins finally arrived..
What do you think Lola?
Guest Dog Blogger.
New Product is Reviewed, Scrutinsied, sniffed by the Eponymous Doggo.
Lola contemplates the strange object.
"Is it a treat? Not a treat. Much Disappoint."
"Why are you waving this thing at me if it's not edible?"
"Kay. I'm still happy you're stood here admiring my majestic presence (thru that strange round black square thing)
A quick taste. Maybe it IS edible."
Work process.
Initial sketch to get flow, lines and placement - had everything pretty much worked out in my head already, except the crown part. I dithered between Moon and Crown.. Ideally wanted both, but neither really clicked.
Eventually ditched the crown for a simpler moon/halo concept.
Next up: scan and digitally clean up, do linework, experiment with colours, try out several versions and merge the best aspects into one final design.
Final proof sent off to my pin manufacturer.
..and then we wait, my precious..
Special Delivery! (Lola boofing at the FedEx guy in the background)
An excitingly heavy and tactile packet.
Inside, another packet.
Inside, 2 packets.
Dear God.
What.
Once I'd cycled through several iterations of unpacking, we hit the Easter Egg. A packet that spewed forth A ZILLION TINY PACKETS!
Individually packaged pins!
Pinocopia!
PIIINS!!
It seems a shame to take them all out again, and fix to backing cards.
