So I was feeling a bit bummed about how my buttons only seem to slowly gain a bit of interest. I also have tried contacting a few places, but have usually not heard back from them.
While I was at a recent anime convention I found a booth in the artist alley that had stuff I liked. The friend who was with me at the time said it is the place she gets a lot of stuff from. I didn't want to commit to a big print, I was thinking a button would be good though. They didn't have any! I put it off for a bit, but then decided one night to try sending an e-mail.
Well, we have been talking and she is very interested! I didn't want to say anything and jinx myself before this. She is making a contract tomorrow and I just finished sending her an invoice. I'm so excited!
Since there is still time for things to go wrong I won't mention too many details. Though once things are going along I will put more info here.
Because of this, I get a new toy. I've always cut out the button circles by hand. This is soothing to me, but takes a while. Because of the number of buttons she wants, I got myself a little punch. It looks like a lot of fun to use.

That is the specific one I will be getting.
I can't wait to play with it!
