The Trials and Tribulations of owning a can badge maker

[rkold]

For those who don't know, this past trip to Japan I bought something I'd had my eye on for more than a year, a can badge maker so that I could make cute fan-made can badges like the Japanese do. I had looked in a few crafts stores near where I live to no avail. So, this past trip I finally gave in and bought one. I also bought a set of refills and a paper cutter to make perfect sized can badges. I forced kosquarepelli to draw me a few cute pictures and have seen been editing them, tracing them, coloring them, and trying to make badges. Mostly, it's been a success but occasionally, I am not so fortunate.

I had edited and then traced this picture and then colored it with my copics only to have my can badge maker destroy it when trying to turn it into a badge. ;;_;; WAAAAAAH! At least I scanned the picture first, but now I need to trace it and color it AGAIN. On the bright side.. the scan migh make a cute LJ icon XD

I've decided that once I have more money I am going to buy my LJ, so if you owe me money, *looks around at people* I'd appreciate it if you could look into paying me. I am going to be good and not rant, seriously I am.

In other news, I actually finally edited a bunch of my Japan pictures so I might soon share them. I also edited images for a ton of doujinshi I want to sell. Wheeeeee(And sumeragiskank made me a adorable for sale page.)
