Poll results - well, that was hard! ;) (Patreon)

As you already saw, the poll results leave me with a lot of choices still! Here are the top six results (I left out Maglor, as he's already in there with the sons of  Fëanor): 

The Silmarils

Finrod

Fingon

Set/Sons of Fëanor

Set/Lúthien and Beren

The Professor

I have to say, I love that choice. Almost all of these I would have done eventually anyway! 

For a later date, I will keep in mind a dragon, Ent, and Éowyn. 

The idea has come up to "block" a few characters together - Amrod and Amras will certainly share one pin. I also think I'll put Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin together. Thoughts? 

Maglor will get a pin without the heraldic device, as will the other sons of  Fëanor. Finrod will get one with his harp, I think. For the Silmarils, I think these may be smaller, and 'maybe' I can design them in a way that you can pin them together and they nestle into the others, so to speak. 

I also think I'll experiment with soft enamel - I didn't even realise that much of the pins I love most (the non-smooth ones) are soft enamel, not hard enamel. Which is nice, as they're less expensive to produce, too! Can you tell me which you would prefer? Here's a video that explains the difference really well. 

Here's a welcome to eight new Patrons since yesterday! Heya, nhoknhok, Sariah, Danielle, Melanie, Andrew, Ash, Keri, and Ann!
