Laminate Guinea Pig aka Wielder
So I bought a new laminator so I can laminate my commissioned badges at home, rather than deal with Kinko's, and since I bought the laminator machine that
Wielder suggested to me, she got to be fed to it first.
So this was a quick scribble job that I drew and colored quickly, and then cut out sloppily ( which I made a mistake doing. Whoops ). I also wasn't careful with my measurements and made the 'badge' too big for the current laminate pouches I had on hand, and I didn't want to run out to the store for bigger laminate pouches, so I had to shear off the bottom of Wielder's name. Whoops. And even though I fed the 'carrier pouch' into the machine correctly, the carrier came out one end and Wielder came out the other O_o So she got only partially laminated and had to get sent through a second time, creating some air pockets. Whoops. And then I was fixated on the tv while I was cutting for the last time, and wasn't paying attention and thus left no decent place for the 'badge' to eventually be punched. Whoops. Oh well, not like she'd ever use this thing anyway XD It will make a great coaster, tho!
Anyway, I'm going to be randomly doodling stuff over the next couple of days and laminating like a mad scientist before I send some of the commissioned badges through. Would really be annoyed with myself if I fughed one of those up, considering how many commissions I'm trying to get through as it is 9_9

Psssh...whatever, girl, it looks great! And you bet your bippy I'll wear that thing. Please, it makes me look sexay! Laminating is a pain in the beginning...and I've had at least one badge get crinkled a bit on me. I hope the laminator serves you well, mine's been fairly decent so far. As for the cutting of the badge, dun worry, it's nothing that putting another layer of laminate over won't fix. I know a few folks who double laminate anyways to make badges sturdier.
I love that expression. You always do the best expression work. It's amazing!
Thanks so much. You've really been too kind to me. I need to give some more giftartage done for you. I'll work on that in the near future.

Well, if you want to wear it, you have my permission to cut off the bottom 'name tag' and/or add to it to make it more readable, since it got haxx0red by my too tiny laminate patches, lol. I'll be sure to send it along when I mail out your commission.
And thanks for the compliments ^^

I looked at Staples and Office Depot and they were seriously about $200. I went online and bought one at https://www.mybinding.com by GBC for less than $40 which included next day shipping, and it works absolutely great.
