Okay, so I just want to start off by saying how grateful I am to have three of the four pins I want for my collection. I am so fortunate to have acquired the ones I have thus far, and I'm very excited to share this pin display. I couldn't have done it without Darris, who zapped me the DA pin, or Frogswithhair, who sold me the PODM at a very fair price.
I handmade this frame (it was not very fun lol), painted it, and made the backing. The frosty white bars say "The greatest gift and honor.../...is having you for a daughter". This quotation and scene means the world to me. I never had the pleasure of knowing my father, because he passed away when I was two years old. All I have from him is a ring he gave to my mother for mother's day, with mine and her birthstones in it. A few pictures of us together, and scarce stories are all I have for his memory. But I know that he is proud of me, looking down from heaven! I like to think that if he were alive, he would say something like this to me. I have this collection not only to honor his life, but to honor what could have been!
Here it is without the light behind the PODM
And here you can kind of see the frame of the PODM. I hope to get a small, battery powered light to put behind it!!
There is an empty space for the last pin I need to make this small collection complete. The pin missing is 89869, you can see it in my signature. If anyone could try and help me find this pin, I would be very grateful! I don't have much for traders but I'm willing to try! (and perhaps buy, depending on price!)
EDIT 6/10/2013:
I FINALLY got the last pin I needed!! I am so, so happy to have achieved this most wanted pin! I paid a lot of money for it, and the seller took their sweet time mailing it to me (then it got lost in the mail...strange how that only seems to happen with your most wanted pins!!). But thankfully, it was finally delivered to me. Holding it in my hands was such a rewarding feeling, I almost started crying. It is so heavy and beautiful, and depicts my favorite scene of the film. I cannot believe it is mine!! Now, my memorial display for my father is complete!
Lets just hope that they don't make any more Mulan/Fa Zhou pins! Haha.
Hope you like my display! <3
