Collectible Enamel Pins

Every July we launch a new Anniversary Pin and gift it to any customer who places an order for $25 or more on strangeling.com. There are just a few rules about this offer which are listed below:
  • Your order subtotal BEFORE shipping cost and AFTER any discounts are applied, MUST be $25 or more to qualify for the free Anniversary Pin.
  • Your order must be for physical, shippable products, so this excludes strangeling.com gift cards.
  • Anniversary Pins will be available through the month of July (July 1 - 31) or until we run out of pins, whichever happens first.
  • You will receive one pin per order that is $25 or over — not one pin per product ordered.
Any additional questions? Contact us.
Due to how some of our products are manufactured as well as packaging size restrictions, if you've ordered multiple items there's a good chance you may end up with items that ship separately. Our products are grouped for shipment in the following ways:

Enamel Pins and Pin Sets, Vinyl Dolls, Vinyl Stickers, Books, Oracle Decks, Coloring Books, Comic Books, 4x6 Mini Fine Art Prints and Various Other Merchandise Products (not prints or canvases)

These are all shipped from our warehouse location in Reunion, FL. If you order only these items, most likely they'll all be shipped in the same package. If you order some of these products as well as a canvas or glossy print they will be in separate packages as they ship from separate locations. These products can take 1-2 weeks to ship out whereas prints and canvases can take up to 4 weeks to ship out.

Photo Glossy Prints, Open Edition Canvases, and Canvas Cuties

All of our fine art prints are now printed and finished by the fine art printing company we contract with. Prints are made to order and they are shipped directly from the printer. If you order several photo glossy prints or canvas cuties, they will likely ship together. If you order more than two open edition canvas prints, they may be shipped in separate boxes of up to two canvas prints each. Depending on how many canvases you order, you may end up with several tracking numbers. Because the fine art prints are printed on-demand, if you order a canvas print, the production time plus shipping time could take 2-3 weeks to be fulfilled. In the meantime, if you ALSO ordered an enamel pin, that usually ships within 3-5 business days however occasionally may take 1-2 weeks to ship (especially if Jenn is running an event or show out of Florida). So parts of your order may arrive within 5 business days while other parts of your order may arrive in two to three weeks.
No worries! We are happy to answer your questions. Just email us!
Actually yes, I am hoping to work with several charities and awareness groups to create pins as partial fundraisers, with a portion of the proceeds actually going to that specific group/charity. It will take a while for development & paperwork to get that sorted (there are legalities, etc.) but believe me, it is in the works!
Yes, I have plans for many holiday themed pins!
Maybe! I plan to create many many pins, especially of my own favourites. Since the pins are made and cast out of actual metal and enamel, some designs are better suited than others. We have to streamline some lines and details so that they are even visible at the .75" or 1" size, let alone feasible physically to create a line drawing out of metal. Since these are not printed or painted but are actual physical poured enamel we also have to simplify the number of colours we can use. I pick out each and every Pantone enamel shade by hand and put a phenomenal amount of effort & work into each one, so you can bet a lot of thought has gone into each colour selection! If you have a favourite painting, you are welcome to suggest it, and keep an eye out - it may be an upcoming new pin! The one thing I cannot do is make pins out of the paintings I have done for the Walt Disney Company, as they retain the reproduction rights for those paintings of mine. If Disney wants to make pins of them though they could (that would rock!).
The quick and easy way to tell is that it has ©Jasmine Becket-Griffith physically stamped into the actual metal from the mold on the backside. If you ever see anything fishy or think you bought a fake pin from somebody (gasp!) email Sonya or Jenn.    
Sadly, no. The way that we create the molds in metal and die-cut them don't make it possible to make just one special custom pin. In order to cover the cost to make the actual mold we have to do a minimum of 100 pins. Sorry about that!
You can also use the rubber PVC standard backings (available for a few cents on Amazon, etc.) or most other backings for pins if you prefer, but these locking backs are by far the most safe & secure and will keep your pin from being lost even with regular wear on bags, backpacks & clothing. If you really do prefer them however you can purchase many types of pin backs for just pennies per piece on Amazon here.
Don't worry, your pin backs are not "stuck!" Strangeling Pins use ultra-secure "pin-saver" locking pin backs! These are the safest and strongest pin backs around. There is a little bit of a trick to removing them, but it is well worth it. Just squeeze the middle barrel part of the pin back to release. No tools are needed, just squeeze with your fingers on either side toward the pin, in between the top disc and the bottom disk. The spring loaded internal mechanism holds your pin in place until you squeeze - releasing the spring to release the grip. Just slide it back on normally to secure the mechanism.
Currently the pins are only available here at strangeling.com. On occasion, you can purchase our pins at live events such as DragonCon, MegaCon, CatCon, Spooky Empire, Los Angeles Comic Con etc. Jasmine will also have them at special events like the Avalon Faery Fayre, Three Wishes Faery Festival, Whitby Goth Weekend and other events where she may be a guest. Keep an eye at the Events Calendar here at Strangeling.com and on our Events page at Facebook  for details about these events & more. Some events have "Exclusive" pins that can only be purchased (or might even be given away as freebies!) at that specific live event, so it is a wonderful opportunity for pin collectors. Please note that as these are not Disney© pins, they are not available at the Disney owned stores.
The sky is the limit! I personally like to put mine on my purse or backpack. You can wear them on your shirt or jacket. They are AWESOME for lanyards (like those you see at Disney World, or the type you wear around your neck at ComiCon or DragonCon to hold your badge / ID / etc.). They fit nicely on hats & caps. There are wonderful cloth books that are made to hold pins so you can flip through them like a binder! You can get framed panels (trading pin display panels) to hang on your wall. They make great "flair" (think Office Space...). I've even seen people wear them on hightop sneakers. Very versatile, small, fit right in your pocket...
Yes! Firstly, Patreon Pin Collector tier members get at least one new Pin of the Month pin each month mailed to them automatically, along with free Patreon exclusive pins throughout the year.  Click here to sign up for the Patreon Pin Collector club. Also, I often have live events where I give away free pins as a promotion (for example, MegaCon 2017 in Orlando we gave away a free "Alligator Girl" Exclusive pin to the first 100 fans who came to my booth!). Keep an eye at the Events Calendar here at Strangeling.com and on our Events page at Facebook  for details about these events & more.  
Your best bet is to join the official collectors' Facebook Group here - it is a great place to trade, buy or sell Strangeling pins.  Many Strangeling pin collectors from all over the world belong to the group, including folks who regularly attend Jasmine's live events.  They may have some of the exclusive pins from shows or countries you are unable to visit, and they may want to trade / buy / sell others!  Please take the time to read the pinned post at the top of the group for basic guidelines.  Another good idea is to join Jasmine's Patreon Pin Collector Tier at Patreon here - whenever there are extra pins left over from special events or exclusives, limited editions, etc. they are included in mystery packs given away to Patreons in the $50+ level twice a year. These mystery packs are also sold on the website after the they are released to Patrons, if there are any leftover.
Why yes there is!  Run by Jasmine herself & the folks at Strangeling.com - you are welcome to join the official collectors' Facebook Group here - it is a great place to trade, buy or sell Strangeling pins.  Please take the time to read the pinned post at the top of the group for basic guidelines.
There are no discounts for purchasing multiple amounts of pins, however, if you really plan on getting them all, definitely join the Pin Collector's club up at my Patreon - click here . There are some pins that will only be available to Patreon members, such as "Alice in Clockwork", and each month you get one or two new pins shipped to you for free. The Patreon Pin Collector tiers for free pins start at $25/month and you also get an additional 10% off whenever you buy pins at Strangeling.com
Patreon is basically a private fan club. Many artists, celebrities & musicians have Patreon pages where fans can sign up to get special access, freebies, discounts, sneak previews & content that is not available to the public. For specific info click here  to see my Patreon Page. The Patreon "Pin Collector's" Tier at Patreon starts at $25/month, and those Patreon Pin Collectors get free pins of the month, automatically shipped to them each month and before released to the public, a 10% discount on any additional pins, previews of pins before they are released, and more.  $50+ tiers  get pins and/or products not available to the public that are never for sale. I also do fun giveaways at Patreon for original paintings, sneak peeks on projects and paintings before they are shown to the public, etc. Many tiers from $1 are available, it is worth every penny even if you ever bought just one single pin or print! It is an international club, you can live anywhere in the world.  
We always release a new open edition "Pin of the Month" here at Strangeling.com once per month. These are designs for everybody to order, open edition, available to all. In addition to the monthly Pin of the Month we also release many special pins - limited edition pin sets, exclusives for events, Patron exclusives and more. Bookmark our Pins Page here at Strangeling.com and check back to see what is new! You can also get sneak previews privately through Jasmine's Patreon (as well as Patreon exclusive free pins, discounts on pins & more) click here.  
You can see all of my official pins in the Collectible Enamel Pins product category here at Strangeling.com. Be sure to use the arrow buttons to see "Next Page", etc. to see them all.  
No, so far Disney has not made any pins of the artwork I have done for the Walt Disney Company. Disney owns the reproduction rights to all of the Disney artwork I do for them. All of these pins here at Strangeling.com are pins we have made ourselves with my personal artwork and designs. Maybe someday Disney will want to make pins of my Disney artwork (that would be cool!) but so far they have not done so. Since these are not Disney pins you cannot trade or sell these at Disney World or at Disney-specific pin trading events.
Like all small and sharp pieces of metal, pins may not be suitable for small children. Small pieces of metal can constitute as a choking hazard, and the back of the pin is very sharp and pokey. Please supervise children and be responsible!
We would be happy to talk about wholesale orders for the pins! Most designs are available if you are purchasing in bulk. Please note that you will need to have your business information and tax ID handy. Email Jenn and she can help point you in the right direction depending on the situation and quantity.
Be sure to check our Pins page here at Strangeling.com. We have a listing of all my official pins that we have created so far. Be sure to use the "Next Page" arrows to see more! Each pin's page should have details to add to your shopping cart or information about past or future availability. It could be that the pin you are looking for was a limited edition and is sold out and there are no more left to buy. It may be that the pin was an Event Exclusive and is not for sale (for example the MegaCon 2017 Exclusive pin was "Alligator Girl" - she will not be for sale, she was just given away to guests at MegaCon 2017 as a special surprise!). It may be that the pin is a Patreon Exclusive and is only available to the Pin Collector Fan Club up at Patreon (for details click here  or scroll down for more Patreon Pin Collector questions). Some pins may be exclusive to certain events or shows. Again, details about availability will be on each pin's page for open edition pins here at Strangeling.com and for Retired or exclusive pins here at Strangeling.com. If a pin has been sold out, retired, or the event for it has passed you will only be able to find these pins by trading with other fans/collectors or by finding them second hand on eBay or other secondary markets. Searching "Jasmine Becket-Griffith Pin" up at eBay.com might be a good start!
My pins are metal pins are made of lead-free iron alloy. They are molded with a die cutting machine, and soft enamel is poured into the metal creating a very tough, sturdy and beautiful design image. It is all one solid piece, not a decal or a print, but actually shaped and poured metal and recessed enamel.
It depends on the design of the pin. Here at Strangeling.com we will mention in the pin's description the size of that specific design. Just about all of them are between .75" to 1.75" (around one inch to an inch and a half, mostly).
The cost of shipping will depend on how many items you order, where you live (what zone, zip code, country, etc.), and specifically what the items you order are such as books, prints or pins. You will be shown your shipping charges during checkout BEFORE you are charged, so you will clearly see the costs and options displayed in your shopping cart. Glossy prints and canvases ship from our production company in Melbourne Florida while pins, books, dolls and mini prints ship from our warehouse in Reunion Florida. Shipping is precisely calculated based on distance, weight, and size of the packaging, insurance and tracking. Don't worry, we never add on any silly "handling" fees, we literally charge exactly what the Post Office charges us.
Individual pins come on a backing board (branded with the Strangeling logo and copyright info) in a sealed plastic bag. Limited Edition Pin Sets come all together on one postcard-sized board (usually with colourful graphics) and are numbered according to their edition (such as #042 / #250) and are also sealed in a plastic bag. When shipped they are carefully packaged & cushioned (exterior packaging depends on the number of pins and other items in the order).
Don't worry, we ship the pins ANYWHERE in the world! You can order right here at Strangeling.com
Much like with my prints and artwork, we have Open Edition, Exclusive Release and Limited Edition pins. Open Edition means that they are not numbered pins and will always be available until we run out. (usually we receive 300 of all open edition pins). Limited Editions are just that, limited to a smaller amount and numbered (usually 100 or 250). Once made, the mold is physically destroyed/demolished so that no more pins of that design can ever be made. Once these sell out, they are all gone. Limited Editions are numbered on their backing board. Exclusive edition pins are pins that were exclusively created for a show, event or special release here or on Patreon. Exclusive pins are extremely limited and ONLY available at such events/releases and sometimes may appear in our mystery pin packs released once a year.
