So, the Guardian says Marvel is planning to make Thor a girl in October. Imagine Hemsworth taking on that role. Our Lady Thor is not impressed. Let’s see how the new Thor takes on the comic book world in October. It’s certainly going be interesting!

Roll up! Roll up! New badges released today!

We’ve got Black Boom, White Boom, Red Spinning Atom, Purple Spinning Atom, I Speak Derby and Vote!

Lovely jubbly custom badges we made for the folks over in Arseblog. Badge designs with a rim along the outside are a little more tricky because if you cut them just outside the guidelines it’s immediately noticeable if it’s a little too far to the right or left. Not that something like that ever happens in the Spike Badges HQ.

I just concertina custom pin badges.
Do you concertina?

We’re very happy to say that we’re releasing a whole pile of beautiful origami button badges and magnets. There’s a fox, bear, crane and rabbit. Each of the designs come in three different colours and they’re a stunning bunch of designs.

We’re chuffed they turned out so well and we’ll have more origami designs out soon!

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!

Yo ho, me hearties, yo ho!

Avast, ye web lovers, we’re prepping for International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Practice your Yarr! with our Pirate collection. Our faves here are Dead Men Tell No Tales, Head Wench and Where’s the Rum!

I’ll be hearing no talk of anti-piratey measures.

Go forth and pilfer, purloin and pillage.

Arrr!
