We picked a snapshot of two custom orders this week. Some lovely one-inch button badges with beautiful fine details for Flower Moon Studio. The other batch was commissioned by the folks running  the Mad Hatters Music Festival in Caunay, France. They were simply lovely and we had a great time working on them. 

Well, lots of news to report at the moment! We recently got a mention in Confetti Magazine LINK - thanks girls!

After we popped our market cherry at the July Temple Bar Night Market, we’re happy to say that we’ve lots organised for the next couple of weeks. This coming Saturday, July 27th, we’re going to have a stall at the roller derby match between the East Coast Cyclones and Waterford Viqueens LINK at the Greystones Shoreline LINK We’re so pleased to be invited to this event and we’ll have a few new roller derby designs to go along with them.

We’ve also been invited to participate in the Daintree’s Wedding Hub on  Thursday August the 1st. We *may* also have a new range of badges available too but more on that next week…

:)

Finally, we’re happy to say the super exclusive badges we had at the July Temple Bar Night Market are all released and available for adoption to loving homes. Such lovlies like the 8-bit Farrah Fox, Walter Rabbit and Geocube LINKjust to name a few.

We love crafts and tech. It seemed like perfect sense to sponsor a whole pile of badges for the folks working hard prepping for the Dublin Mini Maker Faire. It’s being held this Saturday, 27th July at the Science Gallery and the Trinity Physics Lawn. It’s a day of seeing how makers work and if you’re lucky you might get a go too! They’ll be a mobile micro smart farm, a metal forge, a 3D printing group and my personal fave the Stitch’n’Glitch. Looks like it’ll be an action-packed day of fun!

We’ve been super busy over the last week or so. I managed to grab some quick snaps of badges we made recently for Sage Ireland LINK and Sine FM’s The First 45 LINK.

Sage are an international company that specialise in Accounting and Payroll software for businesses. They were celebrating the second birthday anniversary of SageOne in the Irish market.

The folks from Sine FM’s The First 45 got badges off of us too. Their radio show is on every Friday evening and specialises alternative and unsigned artists. Surprisingly, An Post’s estimation calculator was right and he got them within 3 working days.

Yup, we’ve taken the plunge and popping the market stall cherry. We’re happy to say that Head Minion and co. will be at the next Temple Bar Night Market on July 11th. We’ve even gotten a sign for the market stall too.

More to come soon!

A few weeks ago, we were contacted to make some lovely button badges for the Dot Conf taking place this Friday at the National College of Ireland. The badges turned out really well and are super cute too. The Dot Conf is four years old and tagged as a teddy bears picnic but with internet folk instead of bears. Hey, we’re all for picnics here.

We’ll be popping along this Friday and we’ll see you there!

The new badge machine is much more powerful than what we had before. One of the perks is being able to experiment with materials other than paper. We’re very happy to say that we’ve a range of fabric badges LINK now available at 99 cent each. You can choose between the Polka Heart, Daisy, Rosa and Galaxy badges.

We’ve worked with the North Dublin Wildcats LINK before and we were delighted when they contacted us looking for more badges. They qualified for the International Cheer Union Championship in the US and are heading off in a couple of weeks. Apart from the ICU, they’re also heading off to Florida for the USASF Dance competition too. They’ll also be on the telly on TV3′s Morning Show later today.

Best of luck to the team and Coach Hayden in the competition.
