what all do you use for your online shop? The sticker vinyl you use is super high quality and the ink hasn't faded at ALL even though my sticker I bought from you is right on my laptop where my hand often rests when i'm typing, so I was wondering what you used to make it so fade-resistant! ALSO, just because I'm curious to get into it myself, how do you make your buttons? Lov ur work, big inspiration tbh (and your threegado and shalka work will always be my fave) --🐳
They’re more resistant because I laminate the vinyl paper surface after printing on it! I have my own printer (a pain-in-the-ass inkjet, which is great when it works and an absolute nightmare when it doesn’t) and laminator, so once I’ve printed the stickers out and given them adequate time to dry, I laminate the sticker side. I suspect they will probably still fade over time, especially if they’re exposed to the sun directly a lot, but they seem to hold up well in my experience (I stuck some on my laptop and phone as an experiment some time ago and they’re still fine) so I’m happy with the results :)
As for the buttons, I have a button machine+supplies that I bought some years ago that I use to make them myself. I’ve forgotten where I got it from but I’m sure you can search online and find quite a few places to purchase them from in various sizes nowadays (the one I use is for 1.5 inch buttons).
I have a sticker order on the way here from Australia as of this morning and I will be very amused to see how long it takes to get here, given that a small package from Emily #2 took 12 days to get here from Georgia.
They’re here! They’re here! They got completely lost by both the Australian and US postal services but they made it! Total travel time = 5 weeks!

Thank you, I’m glad so many people responded so positively to that post! I’m afraid I can’t respond to all the nice messages I’ve received but I really appreciate them!
aurumacadicus: Any chance of the octopus and shark listening to music together becoming a sticker? I love shurghk and I am definitely going to buy stickers when I get my tax return!
Aw thank you! Yes, of course I can make it available as a sticker – there you go 🐙🦈
