Badge Commissions.
What I'm doing:
I make badges out of several layers of felt. After some experimentation I've figured that three layers is optimum for stiffness on these guys which won't include the detailing that goes on top of the final layer.
The badge backs are standard Nickel plated Steel, 1" long. They are trapped under a layer of felt and then sewn into place because I'm paranoid about these things moving. I make damn sure that's not possible as best I can.
The whites of the eyes are painted on, but the rest is hand sewn. (The paint is acrylic, but I don't guarantee that these badges will survive in the wash.
Please note: These badges are made in a non-smoking home, but I do have a pet. He is not allowed in the room I do all my hand sewing in however.
For fandom characters
Name of character: (If I don't know the character, I'll ask you for a source pic)
If it's a matter of contention or your personal preference, their eye/hair colour that you want: (Ie Gojyo's cerise hair in the series and his very red hair in the manga.) It might be a good idea to confirm what colours you want anyway.
If you have a preferred direction for them to face: For example, Zack and Squall would look better facing left as you look at them, so you can see their scars. Seifer would be better facing right.
For original characters
Name of Character: So I can title stuff mostly.
Hair colour: I have a range of these but it's not Huge. I'm limited to the materials I can get I'm afraid.
Eye colour: Huge range. I don't mind mixing them either.
General expression: Happy? sad? mischevious?
Hairstyle: If you don't have an actual source pic, but can find a similar hairstyle to the one you have in mind, that would be awesome.
Any scars, tattoos or other extras: Glasses is included in this.
Source pic: if possible.
Prices and Shipping:
Fandom Character Badge: $5 each
Original Character Badge: $5.50 each.
Buy four badges, get one free!
To the UK, $1 postage and packing.
Worldwide, $3.50 postage and packing. (Sadly there's a minimum charge on worldwide post that's a lot higher than within the UK.)
Payment in advance is preferable for fandom badges, and necessary for Original characters. Please leave your email address in the comment so I can contact you with further details.
These shipping values will cover you up to 10 or so badges, so unless you go totally nuts, I think you'll be fine with that.
Examples can be found here - more added all the time.
