new home on insta!

because of some ridiculous 2-factor authentication shenanigans, I lost access to my original instagram (blackbrolly) and am now found on BlackUmbrellaIndustries.

we're back!

friends, I have finally reopened my Etsy shop, and I have expanded! in addition to your favorite buttons & magnets, I'm also offering fun little articulated figures & the supplies with which to paint them!

more figures and button styles coming soon! follow the shop, or follow us here, to get updates.

People who grok the passport-stamp and adventure companion deisgns are my tribe 💜 I spend so much time in books that it really does feel like I should have stamps in my passport, for Middle Earth, Westeros, and the Forgotten Realms.

It’s finally jacket weather in the desert! Today’s adornments include a lovely enamel pin of General Organa (not made by me), plus a bunch of buttons I *did* make: a Valkyrie pin from the Fury Road set, the black-and-purple logo for my band, Reliquary, and the silver logo pin, part of an experiment I’m doing with different button substrates. If all goes well with that experiment, I’ll have a fantastic new series to show off 😀 . . #buttons #pinbackbuttons #valkyrie #madmax #madmaxfuryroad #furyroad #mmfr #vuvalini #postapo #fandom #fanbuttons #reliquary #goth #gothband #guitargoth #bassgirl https://ift.tt/2OzXTFm
