My weird hobbies

Nov 16, 2005 21:50

So, a few weeks ago, I got this itch to try out shrinkydinks (something with which I haven't worked in years). I figured I could make cute cellphone dangles and keychains or other charms from them to sell at cons. Each takes a long time to make, so they'd pretty much all be one of a kind things. Still, they turn out so cool, I couldn't help but ( Read more... )

art, bleach, chibi

This one's mine! But maybe you can adopt one of the future experiments =)D

I want to do a Hollow!Ichigo head as well. And a Tsubaki!

Cute! Damn, that sounds like a lot of fun. *_____*

It's so much fun to play with these! Come over! We'll bake up chibi weirdness all night!

We could have an Itachi and Kisame puppet show.

Dude, I would SO be over there right now if you were nearby. ^O^ Haha, damn, maybe I'll go get some and make some ItaKisa chibi shrinky-luv~

I think that'd be adorable!

I found packs of it really cheap online, but I'm sure you could find these shrinkydink refill kits from Klutz at many craft stores.

You could so sell those at anime cons. I know for a fact that a friend of mine would buy that Renji. He's a loony fanboy. >3

I'm hoping it's something that people will have interest in. Of course I'll have to perfect the products, but I think I may be on to something.

juumou and taco did keychains, phone straps using just laminated cut outs and those hoes made probably $500+ at yaoi con.
There chibi design catboys are at http://clonlov.scuttlebutt-inc.com/

Knick-knacks always seem to sell well, even if art doesn't! Especially if it's chibi waiwaidanglies, pins, or buttons.

I've seen people selling the laminates or stickers. I don't know if many have done shrinky dinks for any number of products.

I wanted to make a few things wid shrinkydinks too but I never could buy the stuff -_- so I let it go.
