This is a story all about how...

March Meet The Maker, brainchild of the ever lovely Joanne Hawker starts again today - yay!

I love this challenge, because I always "meet" some new faces & get to know a bit more about some old favourites 😃

Day one's prompt is "story" & since I couldn't edit mine down enough for an Instagram caption, I decided to share it here on the blog instead ☺

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin!

Leslieanne's Ten Top Tips For Making Hard Enamel Pins

Are you an illustrator, designer, or other creative type, wishing you could turn your art into a lovely little hard enamel pin? Then read on!

At the beginning of the year, I hadn't made a single enamel pin.
I'd ummed and aahed and thought about it. I knew I wanted to do it, I'd sold lots of buttons, so I had the ideas and I was reasonably sure I'd sell at least a few, but I still over thought it all. A lot. (It's what I do!)

But, with the advice and encouragement of some wonderful creative pals, in January, I finally sent my first tiny design into production, crossed everything & thought good thoughts!

Since then, all of ^^^ these little pretties have happened, and I've had SO much fun finding my way around the pin making world!
To be honest, I still feel like a bit of a newbie, and I'm absolutely still learning, but it's going pretty well & I'm loving the learning curve. But it is a learning curve, which is why I decided to write this post - I am in NO way an expert, but if my experiences (and mistakes!) can help another artist make their enamel dreams come true, that'll make me a happy gal indeed!
So here we go, Leslieanne's 10 top tips for making enamel pins:
