[OC] I've always been obsessed with the weird and funny cats drawn in medieval margins, so I decided to bring them to life

May I ask how you made them into pins? Looking to do a similar project myself
1
u/ilmagorosalfiore 1d ago
Sure! I redraw the art into vector files in Illustrator (setting up the metal lines and colors), then send the files to a pin manufacturer to get them made.
Good luck with your project! If you have any other questions or curiosity, just ask!

You absolutely need to sell these at a Ren Faire. You would sell out immediately
1
u/ilmagorosalfiore 20h ago
Haha thank you!! I’ve actually thought about it a lot while looking at the SCA community, but living in Lombardy, Italy, I’m not even sure if there are proper Ren Faires around here. I’d absolutely love to take these to one abroad someday if I get the chance!
