[ thank you collection ] our sky pin

designed august 2020 ]: Wings Tour was a super special tour for me because it was the first time I was able to see Bangtan live in person and I couldnt' have asked for a better experience because ynwa era was a really cohesive and poignant setlist. It was also the start of meeting a lot of my army friends that I still hang out and talk to today! The design and idea is mainly based on outro:wings with the theme of flight & “take me to the sky/if my wings could fly”. if we are bts’ wings, then bts is our sky. like the sky, Bangtan is how a lot of army are connected to each other, and how a lot of us have become friends. so I wanted to represent not only the bond between Bangtan and ARMY but ARMY and other ARMY as well This design is similar to my heartbeat design where the inside will be primarily cut out so you can hold it up to the sky or whatever background you like because that is how we are interconnected in the world, we share the same sky, and the same sun & moon I chose the words 너와함께 (with you) taken from a supplemental story: ynwa as the wish tag because during wings newark, 함께 was the word that Namjoon chose to teach the arena which means ‘together’ and that is honestly a memory I hold near and dear to my heart, and as always cherry blossoms are added in nod to hyyh not being over. OUR SKY (2 options) 2 1/8th inches long, 1.25 inch tag screenprint & pearl (moon) $18  night (black) & day (white) variants This pin is part of my 7th anniversary pin series, the thank you series. All pins in this set represents a thank you to bts, who have connected army together through music & lyrics, we thank them for making our world shine a little brighter and a little bit more magical. Each design of mirrors one of their thank you shoutouts they show at the end of every concert/ some of their other merch such as DVDs. So in a way, it’s my way of saying thank you & answering back to messages they left for us. The concept for this series also borrows from my wish series that I scrapped in 2019 with having a wish tag underneath each pin. The old versions were specifically for hyyh and pertained to each member and what they wrote for the 2019 muster wish tree, however this series will be phrases that I have chosen to represent what army wish for bangtan and/or what we are thanking them for. I specifically designed these pins to be enjoyed by fans & non fans alike as all the pin designs are super subtly linked to BTS, but can also hold a lot of meaning too if you are an army. I hope that these designs can provide you with some comfort as you explore life & all the different paths you can take and encourage you to be brave, try new things, and overcome whatever obstacles that may come your way. B & C grade pins have issues with screenprint (C grade have missing screenprint), B grade can have specs/dots on the pin and may have issues with screenprinting being misaligned & having marks or small areas that are missing. If the overall main or important parts of screenprint do not have major issues, it's usually classified as B vs C, B grades also may have minor under or overfill in enamel that isn't too noticeable. C graded pins may have issues with enamel fill that are noticeable and in large areas. The issues with screenprinting may be that there it's missing screenprint, uneven or discolored screenprint. (See pictures below for info!) Usually these are in large areas or are more noticeable. There is a separate listing for sets if you want to buy the set at a discounted rate.
