This morning I opened up the mailbox and this lovely kilt pin was waiting for me, from Robin. It is yet another piece of art and I am very pleased to be the recipient of such a wonderful kilt pin. Robin was good enough to start fresh when I ordered it so it was truly made for me, I could not be happier. I believe that quality accessories are as important as a quality kilt, if you do not own a kiltgoodies kilt pin, do yourself a favour and order one, not only will you get a one of a kind piece of art but Robin is a joy to deal with. This is my second kilt pin from Robin, and I am sure it will not be my last. Thanks again Robin. Here it is being worked on: Here it is today: Last Edited By: Pour1Malt 7-Nov-07 14:32.

Since most women have a more developed fashion sense....I see this as a compliment. This pin is also fun to make, because each casted pin is filed, sanded and polished differently...no 2 pins are exactly the same. Now the "festival season" is over I can finally add new designs to the website. Been busy building stock for the next festival most of the time and I didn't add new items, because I was afraid I couldn't keep up with demand...and I don't want customers to wait long. For instance the pendants did sell very well on the festivals, but never reached the website. Some came up with very nice ideas also...now I have time to work on those. The vintage pins and badges are also fun...it's a bit like a kilt pin museum now

Posts: 2631 (14-Sep-07 23:39) Admin guy The Hague Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Err...nah...text on a kilt pin isn't very visible. A kiltpin must be sort of slender and not much longer as 3 inches. And worn just above the knee nobody will notice. That's part of the reason I like simple designs...you see what it is from a reasonable distance. Other reason...I like to cast in sand and hand finish each pin...such a design must be cast in rubber molds. No fun Also...for some reason, sand cast pewter has a good structure...strong and very smooth. When cast in rubber the result is often a more brittle structure. I expect a vintage Mackay clan badge though
