At first i thought yippee i have a badge maker, and whooohoo it is fun ... but now i think fuck i've got to make badges! it hurts my wrists and you get really pissed off when they start to go wrong... BUT badges are wonderful. I sell mine for a £1 each at the market and it amazes me how much money i can make just from the badges. I also throw them in as freebies from time to time with large orders or when i mess up and i always get a happy response of thanks back! i bought my badge maker off ebay (gerd_jutta) - it's a german brand and seems to be doing the trick. i did however get my first set of badges off a website based in england and the badges i got back where awful. I didn't really notice at the time but now i look at the few i have lying about and they are printed by inkjet so really blurry and they rusted really easily. Make sure you get a good quality pint out - i get mine printed digitally! badges yee mean.. i am actually just taking a break from making some.

Mine aren't going to be anything that amazing, just HYA* in the logo light blue with a grey background, maybe in the future I'll do some collaborations with artists for something more exciting.

Maybe we'll have to have a button off! I actually have my own little pin press that I use for Quixotic, so I’d be doing it all myself.

I'm looking at busybeaver.net for my order, although something local would probably be better for me.
