Headbadges, I made one!

[volksboy57]

working through tutorials on acid etching, and experimenting with my vinyl plotter, I made a custom headbadge:

My friend came to me with the artwork, so i vectorized it, cleaned it up, plotted it out in vinyl, etched it, colored it and cut it out. The color is just sharpie marker. I dont have a clue how to paint it correctly. you can see my steps here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39956471@N06/ The other badges are just my personal experiments.

This badge is going on a wacky Worksman straightbar fixie bike. Ill get photos of that when I can!

thanks Cycletruck for your tutorial!! http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=45405&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

I havent made any for sale yet, but I would do similar badges for 25? 30? something like that. I would need the artwork though, I can do everything else.
The higher quantity, the price would drop. Also, if I didnt paint or cut them out the price would drop too.
