Badge Making
I asked my Mum if I could have a badge making set for my birthday and Christmas, and she said yes!
Yay! I’ve wanted one for years if I’m honest, I’ve just been reminded if how much I want one. Recently, I saw some really awesome badges in a shop called Snow Home in York. If you live near to York, or like ordering stuff online, I suggest you check it out - It’s a pretty cool shop!
And today I bought a little magazine from Borders called HumDrum Magazine which is one of the most random and peculiar things I’ve ever seen. You get a free badge of a badger with it, another reason why I want to get a badge making machine: I can make lots of random badges for people!
I also bought the latest installment of Computer Arts Magazine, good and bad. Good: It makes me want to do something with my computer. Bad: I never have the skills or software to make anything quite so good as they feature. This then makes me sad. 
I’d really love to be able to actually use Illustrator and create something truely fantastic. Oh, I guess practice makes perfect doesn’t it?
Do you subscribe to any magazines? Do you know any good tutorials for Illustrator? Do you have a badge maker, or any good tutorials online for them? If so, feel free to comment!

Hi:
I don’t have a badgemaker or mags for them.
I do subscribes to DA, but I think Layers mag will be a good one for you it covers Illustrator, photoshop, indesign etc..
We do have tutorials on how to create on your computer and incorporate with paper crafting.

Wow, thanks! Will check out your forum!
I love the little tiny badges. When my mum worked at a college, she had to make all these badges for some event and she brought the badge machines home so us children could help her make them all. It was the big/normal size badges though, and those aren’t so cute. But it was cool back then because I cut out pictures of my friends and made them each a badge.
