Illustrator Lacey Micallef has been a lifelong collector and trader of pins. She created Big Bud Press as a way to combine this beloved pastime with her artistic career. The 1″ (and larger) hard enamel pins are made from plated metal, filled with colored resin, and baked at a high temperature.
Lacey’s designs are super fun, featuring golden eggs, banana leafs, orange blossoms, and more. She also collaborated with Martha Porter of Buried Diamond on a dog, hand, and watermelon pin.
Big Bud Press recently launched — April 13, to be exact — and I’m super excited to see how it develops. Also, I am in love with Lacey’s styling! She uses miniatures to frame the pins in these colorful, surreal scenes.
