    One of my favorite topics!

    Can't stand fanmade rip off shit that steals from the artist but...  If you took a PJ sticker and made a magnet?  Cool!  I have a set that someone on here made and love them.

    Yeah I enjoy celebrating my fandom in unusual ways. I wouldn’t sell what I creat that’s for sure. Any others making some cool fanfare?

    My wife one year took a bunch of pictures of various gig posters we had and had them made into coasters for the rec room where most of the posters hung.  It was a nice touch, and a thoughtful gift.

    I just heard of how to print pictures from a printer on wood. I might try a logo and transfer it to wood.

    I believe if you get a fresh color copy from a copier (make sure it prints reverse of what you want transferred) you can transfer with by rubbing mineral spirits or maybe even rubbing alcohol. (Run a test. I recall mineral spirits, but they smell gross.)

    Wood piece
    Reverse image, ink side down
    Cotton balls or old rag with mineral spirits rubbed on the backside
    Lift to see how it is transferring.  You may need to burnish it with the back of a wooden spoon to get a full transfer. 

    If your aim is to seal it, use spray only. I would be afraid that a brush would drag your transferred ink. Do this only after it has been left to dry for at least a day or two.

    Nice. I’ll give that method a try. Any other great creations out there?
