corduroyjackalope Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'v started on some flag shoe laces that will be done in a few days, and I've also painted a button. I also have a button reading "Have some cake." with my best drawing of AVEN cake undernieth. I would like to know of other things that people have done themselves. :) I hope I put it in the right forum. Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I would love a badge! I might find a way of making one. :) Link to post Share on other sites
corduroyjackalope Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 I would love a badge! I might find a way of making one. :) How about embroyding felt? I've been using the friendship bracelet thread for the shoe laces. You could use it to sew out a patch on felt. Then you could sew it or glue it on whatever. :) Link to post Share on other sites
standup Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I made a friendship bracelet. :) So far that's it, but I'd love to make a patch or something. Link to post Share on other sites
FmrMbr Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 This reminds me of something I've been wondering about. Does anyone know if it's okay to borrow a slogan from something in the AVEN shop and make my own T-shirt or whatever? From what I know of copyright laws it seems like that should be alright but I'm not sure. I know that images/designs belong to the artist who creates them, and of course long passages of writing are protected by copyright, but I don't believe one line slogans are. Anyone know for sure?

Sciatrix Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have a mug. It's pretty easy to do with some tape and a lot of coats of glaze--just go to one of those "glaze your own pottery" places. In other awesome asexual merchandising news, over on the Livejournal comm I saw someone with a shirt that said "On a scale of 1 to 6, I'm an X." I want that shirt like burning. As far as I'm aware, it was homemade. Link to post Share on other sites
asexual cake Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I started knitting a scarf, as I am a poor knitter and that's the most complicated thing I know how to do. I have a mug.

Sciatrix Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 My first hematite ring cracked Friday night after a whole two weeks of active use, so I ordered a titanium one with aces on it yesterday on the theory that I am unlikely to take good care of this one, either. (I bought two originally because I figured the first one would eventually break--I didn't think they would be destroyed quite that fast!) The link to the shirt post is here. Isn't it awesome?

asexual cake Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Aha! Yeah, I bought my first (hematite) ring at the beginning of February, and it cracked a few weeks later when I dropped it in my kitchen, and then I bought an exact replica which has lasted me until now. I want to replace it with something less grey, but I'm cheap so I probably won't bother until this one breaks. And good Lord, I want it even more now, especially because I'm something of a sexuality nerd, and thus hold Kinsey in a place of appropriate reverence. It is too perfect for words.

corduroyjackalope Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 I used to have a hematite ring. First it got a crack in it from everyday abuse. Then it broke into two when I juggled some rocks while wearing it. Haven't gotten another since. I don't have much luck with rings but I liked the black ring idea, so I tattooed AVEN to my right middle finger. I did it myself, so it's kind of homemade. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
narwhal Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm going to make my own flag out of scrap fabric. Hopefully it'll look nice. On a side note i saw this, and thought you guys would like it maybe. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites

FmrMbr Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I ordered a titanium one Titanium rings are not recommended because the ring cutters that emergency responders carry, to keep you from loosing your finger in the event that your hand is swelling from an injury, are not able to cut titanium. You may consider it worth the risk, but I just thought I should mention it. Link to post Share on other sites
FmrMbr Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm something of a sexuality nerd, and thus hold Kinsey in a place of appropriate reverence. Me, too! I was amused to see your post because people are always a little confused by me. An asexual who's fascinated by studies about sex? Who seems to know more about the topic than most sexuals do? Do you have any theory about why? I think for me it's like because I'm totally detached I can study sexuality in a scientific way without being made uncomfortable by anything, and I read things like the Kinsey Reports in pretty much the same way that I read about different religions or cultures. It's just fascinating to learn about things that are so far outside of my own life experience. Link to post Share on other sites

FmrMbr Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just finished a shirt I was working on. It has a cake patch that I made from scrap fabric and it says "have some cake!" next to the patch. I had some nice shirts from my last job but of course they had the companies logo on them. I put the cake right over the logo on this one to hide it. Now I'm trying to think of more designs that would work on those shirts. Link to post Share on other sites

Amedot Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Okay, pictures? Photographic evidence of such fantastic creations? I am useless with sewing, knitting, whatever, but I'd like to see how good other people are at it. (though, that mug... I might do that. I can paint a few straight lines.)

Sciatrix Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I am bad at painting in straight lines. Trust me, if I could make that mug passable anyone could. Tape. Tape and as many coats of glaze as you can get onto the mug is all you need. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nalley poo pie pants Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 OMG, I love this thread. Oh, and I bought a couple keychains from this member who now has the name AVENCakes. And Ily thanks for clarifying that. <3 Link to post Share on other sites
hexaquark Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Those keychains are so nicely done; polymer clay can be finicky to work with. OK confession, I have been lurking AVEN for awhile. This community has meant a lot to me since I discovered it about a year ago... but I never felt like I had anything worthwhile to add, so I didn't ever register. BUT! Because handmade stuff is the best, I love this thread and letting it drift away seemed sad. So, hopeful thread revival? I do sew a bit so here is a change purse: I hope that photo works. So yes, hi?

Amedot Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hi, Hexaquark Please, by all means, continuing posting! I am envious of your change purse, it looks flawless. I can hardly sew a button on my jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
+Lee Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Well, I'm hopeing to make others but here are the three ace things I have created. My ace bracelet: My ace pin: My ace charm: Front: Back (that I have covered... :( ) Link to post Share on other sites
hexaquark Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks so much Salogma! I'll try to post when I make something new and ace related. for more creations! I love your bracelet, Ellie J, and your charm has inspired me; thinking about sewing something with the ace of spades. Link to post Share on other sites

hexaquark Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 OK as promised: Curse you late night inspiration, I need more sleep... It is a credit card case, and is hand-embroidered but I should have planned the spades out a bit better instead of just throwing them down. Maybe I'll give it another go but do it with a fancy spade in the middle. for you ExeCUTE, for a very cute bracelet. And is that purple plaid I see? Defenestration, you have an amazing name. Oh wow, do you mean a shop like on etsy? Sometimes I wish I did because I sew as a stress reliever, and I find myself surrounded by bags and pencil cases! But your shop looks cool; you have a nice eclectic style. Love the Legos : ) Link to post Share on other sites
