Grills Board
My first pin board completed around July 2021.
This was a complete DIY project as I picked up a vintage frame, cleaned, sanded, and then painted it white. Also, constructed the backing board. I didn't have the tools and parts to secure the back at that time but I do now and those are the last steps I need to do to finish the frame but that can be done later.
I've completed more and will be writing about it here so that I have a log of what I have accomplished with my collection. I've spent a lot of time and money on this hobby just to store them somewhere in the dark for no one to see is no longer acceptable.
Regarding the board itself, part of me wants to re-arrange as the content of the board is a mix of regular girls, fantasy, kawaii and creepy. But they are so perfectly slotted in the frame and the flow is good that on the whole I like how it is so this arrangement will stay. I love girl pins and I always keep an eye out for them to add to my collection.
Before anime pins exploded on the scene I collected artist pins which consisted of original creations in pin form. Like any other collection I have. I went HAM. and now I have too many.
I am currently de-stashing and purging. I've put all the extras, outgrown and do not collect fandom pins up on Mercari so check it out if you're looking for something. Some are priced to go and the rest are priced by "market" value and I always consider offers.
So there's plans for a lot of de-stashing and de-cluttering. I know I speak of this often but this time there's more motivation. Hoping I can keep up with the organizing!
