Enamel and Eyeshadow

Dear Insane Children, 

As you're aware we've got Jennifer working on a collection of Enamel Pins which we'll offer as a "Set of 4 + 1 Exclusive Pin" here on Patreon and then as just the "Set of 4" over on Mysterious. Final numbers of pins and the "exclusive" details are TBD... as are the selection of pins on offer. 

Another interesting pin design from Jen arrived last night - seen above - Hysteria Alice as seen from above. Which got me thinking... 

Yan is working on Mysterious Makeup and recently discovered that we can "stamp" designs onto the eyeshadows. Who knew? Here's an example of what I'm talking about... 

And this got me thinking... 

Maybe our enamel pin designs can do double-duty as the "stamps" we use on the eyeshadows?! 

Here's the list of ideas for names and symbols to go with the "Classic Dress" and "Harvest Dress" colors being worked on. 

Seems like a fun cross-over to me. What do you think?

Let us know if you have ideas for names, symbols, or anything else in the comments below!

Jen also sent over a Mad Hatter "Tea Time" pin concept: 

And I suggested that this might be sliding back towards a "cute goofy" feeling which would feel out of place with the other more sinister pins we're creating. My thought was that the Hatter's hat by itself is already so iconic... I wouldn't mind simply having a pin design based on it alone. Like so... 

What do you think? Cute Hatter Hat? Or Classic Hatter Hat? 

Again, let us know in the comments below! 


We'll be discussing Enamel Pins and Hatter's Domain during today's Crowd Design Session. That starts at 10AM Hong Kong Time - 6PM PST (about 25 minutes from when I am writing and posting this). See you there!

Classic!

Classic hat for the hatter pin looks better in my opinion

MaddieTheHatter

I think having the big symbols of Alice would be great as pins: the symbols of Chaos and Order, the vorpal blade, perhaps even a house on fire. The 'get bent' bottle image perfect as well.

What about hoodies or shirts with some art prints? 🤔 I would love to wear them 😋

Yay, pins!! 😍

I think that stamping the eyeshadows is a great idea

Wiki

why not just stamp the alchemy symbols onto the powders?

nopedia

I am afraid the classic hat will end up getting lost, I feel like the stamps should be more simple, with thicker outlines.

I agree with another patreon that the hysteria alice design looks a bit too cartoonish. CLASSIC HATTER'S HAT ALL THE WAY :) it looks so badass. I think using some of the enamal pin designs as stamps could work, though some might look odd. Maybe the hysteria pin design would work as a stamp on the actual makeup color named hysteria instead.

I say a mix of both cute and classic

I think the classic would be nice as an exclusive and the cute in the regular set to keep with the theme of the alice pin.

Not so much a fan of that rendition of hysteria Alice though I’ve loved pretty much every other design. The designs on the eyeshadow could be fun, but does it cost much more to do? While I see what you mean about not wanting to mix cute and sinister pins, what you could do is create sets. Perhaps one set of four plus a patreon exclusive is cute and another that is more sinister/ mysterious? Then patreons can choose between one or the other and I feel like you might have a better chance at attracting a wider audience that aren’t already patreons?

Ich love the makeup idea, I am all about the creepy cute aesthetic. I would also love the cute and the classic hatters hat.

I do think the hysteria pin looks a bit cartoonish. If all the pins are going to be black nickel, I think making the tears red would give it a nice effect. Also classic hat as a pin would be nice.

I am loving the stamping idea on the makeup. It's a great idea and I'm loving the colour palettes and their names! Roses, playing cards, keys and butterflies are the first things I associate with Alice. All of which I think would suit the makeup for stamping. I love cute pins but agree the classic hat is more recognisable for fans. Is there way to do a "cute" classic style of the hat? Sticking to the original hat look with a cute cartoony style?

Not into makeup so no comment for me. However the pin i say go for the classic hat... it's more recognizable i think to fans for the game.

Daniel Lee

classic hat for me!

I vote for classic hat! even though the cute one is well, cute. I think classic suits it overall better. I also and SO stoked for the pins and makeup!

We've said many, many times that our products will be cruelty-free. This is also stated on the page over on Mysterious.

American McGee

My only concern is if the eyeshadow palettes are cruelty free. It would break my heart if I couldn’t support/have this as part of my collection because the product/ingredients were tested on animals :( Everything looks so beautiful and I’m so excited for it all.

Something about the Hysteria Alice pin design isnt sitting right with me... it looks too... I dunno... cartoonish? Not sure what it is exactly. Something about the arms I think. Love the Hatter design but would also love the Classic too

Classic hatter pin and I adore all the eyeshadow palettes! The stamps are gorgeous on the shades and I would have to have two sets: one to keep pristine and one to use.

I'm all for creepy cute style but I do like the classic hatter hat as well. So... guess I'm useless in this aspect. 😹

It's a lot of fun researching obscure latin phrases for our Rabbit illuminati club

Relooking at the pallet, I'm not sure the Cheshire grin (it looks orange on my screen) color is fitting... 🤔🤷‍♀️

Love the new Hysteria Alice pin!! I think it should be the exclusive, would love to see it colored. I'd vote for a slanted, bigger Mad Hatter hat for the pin. LOVE the makeup pallet so far and the stamps would be like icing on the cake!! ❤

I'd like to see a vorpal blade pine with a slight red on the edge if it can be done

James Allvord

Classic Hatter hat! And I think that the stamps really are a must!

Chaussette

Classic hat would be nice I guess.

Classic hat...the other one feels...kinda cartoony.

Definitely classic Hatter Hat

ReaperNX

Classic Hatter Hat

Classic Hatter Hat for a pin and I love the stamping idea for the makeup!

We think some red for hysteria Alice? And idk about cute goofy hat. It's... looking at us. Watching.

Angel Wings

I'm here for the sinister with Latin pins.

Classic Hatter Hat.
