((doodles are bad, spacing is bad, this is a concept))

*from under the cork tree embroidery sweatshirt*

return to sender envelope with a crown -- "i got your love letters, corrected the grammar, and sent them back. it's true, romance is dead, i shot it in the chest, then in the head//and if you wanna go down in history, then I'm your prince" (the music or the misery)

xo (specifically along the neckline) -- closing track title, "choke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends" (i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth)

flaming match -- "strike us up like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flame" (champagne for my real friends, pain for my shame friends) "i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light" (sophomore slump or comeback of the year) "light a match to leave me be" (nobody puts baby in the corner)

2/4 -- "we're falling apart to half time" (dance, dance)

gift tag -- "the ribbon on my wrist says do not open before christmas" (our lawyer made us change the name of this song so we wouldn't get sued)

z z z -- "i used to waste my time dreaming of being alive (now i only waste it dreaming of you)" (of all the gin joints in the world) "keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you, can i lay in your bed all day? i'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" (nobody puts baby in the corner) "sleeping in and we're sleeping for the wrong team" (sugar we're goin down)

empty chair -- "sitting out dances on the wall, trying to forget everything that isn't you, i'm not going home alone, 'cause i don't do too well on my own" (7 minutes in heaven (atavan halen))

clock -- "set your clocks early 'cause you know i'm always late" (a little less sixteen candles, a little more touch me)

mailbox -- "why put a new address on that same old loneliness?" "mailing letters to a ghost town" (get busy living or get busy dying) "i got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back" (the music or the misery)

notched bedpost -- "i'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song" (sugar we're goin down)

↑↓ -- "are we growing up, or just going down?" (sophomore slump or comeback of the year)

record player -- "and the record won't stop skipping, and the lies just won't stop slipping, and besides, my reputation's on the line" (i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth)

"love" keyhole -- "to the "love" i left my conscience pressed through the keyhole as I watched you dress, kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships" (xo)

heart (in gold thread) -- "this story's getting old, homewrecker with a heart of gold" (snitches and talkers get stitches and walkers)

These 11 Christmas Wine Cork Crafts Are DIYs You Don't Wanna Miss! From decor to gift labels, who knew cork screws were so useful?

Question...how do you make your patches? They seem so fuckin cool. I'm working on a vest and a jacket atm, and I'd like for them to be done by the time a pride fest rolls around next month.

Main technique I use for making patches nowadays is linocut. Its best suited for mass production of patches.

Make sure to remember your carving the mirror image so you have to flip all the text. Using tracing paper to flip the design is a good trick, as well as leaving graphite marks on side, then pressing that to the lino to leave the marks in the same spot. Another trick with pencil is to view what ur carving in negative space quickly, put a paper over your design and shade over it with pencil, darker marks will be where you haven't carved yet.

I use speedball fabric ink, it takes 1 week to set then will be fine to be washed. I have magenta, violet, turqouise, and white. They have a limited range of fabric colors at the store. I have seen gold and silver fabric paint for sale and I will investigate it one day.

I use a speedball roller, i find the smaller one to be better than the big one as I can be more precise and waste less ink.

I got a fancy handle for $40 but the screws fallen out so its broken now so just get some heavy books. I used to use a mug. Whats important is pushing your whole body weight into it.

I got a speedball carving tool with different heads I can swap out so I can cut into the lino at different deepness and widths. The heads are stored inside the tool since its hollow and has a screwable removable bottom. I use linocut or dollar store erasers for my carvings. Make sure to wash the ink off your linocuts after your done using them.

A thing to increase the lifespan of you're linocuts is to use wood glue, some cork or wood pieces, and glued the lino stamps onto them. I dont do that yet so my stamps fall appart from overuse sometime and because I cut way too deep into the lino since I hate chatter.

Chatter is the term for in linocutting when theres little messy lines and stuff. It makes the art more recognisably to be linocut. My work is very clean with no chatter which is why people don't notice its linocut usually. This is a stylistic choice, with diy styles having a lot of chatter can look really cool so experiment with leaving bits of extra uncarvered lino sticking out in ur stamp. I need to experiment and buy some more lino.

You can also use multiple linocut stamps together to make a patch. Some patches ive made have like 8 different stamps. Ive made a dog nonsense patch where each letter was their own eraser stamp. You can also use different colors between the different lino stamps on the same patch to add more color. An effect I like to do is first stamp it in color, then the next day I stamp it in white over the same spot but shifted to the right and down slightly. It makes the text have a cool border 3D effect I love doing.

If making a more detailed picture with colors, i reccomend hand painting patches. I use white fabric paint mixed with acrylics for color to get all the shades i need. Acrylic paint mixed with fabric softener works too.

If doing words and you dont want a unique font reccomend using letter stamps. If you want a unique font for that i recommend hand paint for individual or linocut for mass produce.

The positive of letter stamps is the font is neat and can be done quickly. I know from lending them to my roommate that they are very helpful if you have dyslexia and have trouble getting letters right.

A visual effect of the letter stamps is that have a nice boxy edge effect, its an imperfection that adds a personally touch to it. I have both lower and upper case stamps that I got from michaels. You can use a hair band or elastic to hold a bunch of letter stamps together to make a word stamp.

You can use other stamps than letters that you find at craft stores for example my racoon print is a craftstore stamp.

You can also find big plastic letter stencils at the dollar store that you can use to do lettering by filling in gaps with a sponge or or paintbrush. They make special paintbrushes just for using stencils.

You can also get plastic stencils in the shapes of things, i got some for children and use a horse stencil for my horse smoking weed patch. Easier than drawing a horse myself.

Another technique I use for more unique clean patches is gel plating. I haven't tried printing laserprint images with it as ive seen online a lot but I will try one day. What i personally do is use it to make imprints with chains and physical objects.

Another thing i use with gelplates are any stamps or linocuts that dont have words, or words ones that i fucked up with and forgot to mirror when carving. It flips mirror image twice with the gel plate so it goes back to being right again on the patch.

Another patch making technique is using foamboard cut into shapes glued onto cardboard. This is good for a quick test of a design and is very cheap to make. It will not hold under water so is more difficult to clean.
