So, on the Hangout, CJ mentioned artists making merch for the con. To add to that, I’ve been learning how to make a few things - mainly, buttons, stickers, patches, and temporary tattoos. Prints, mini-prints, and bookmarks would also be stuff I could pretty easily make. But I’m curious about other stuff you guys might want to see?
I’m in the ‘what-if?’ stage for a lot of things right now, but if you could vote on things you’d be most interested in, that’d help me a lot! I also included examples of the type of merch, so you guys know what things could potentially look like:
Also, it’s a multiple choice poll, so vote on as many as you like!
Also, if there’s anything you’d especially be dying to see, let me know, and I’ll see if it’s a thing I could do. I’m gonna be making a toooon of art this summer, so stuff like this will let me know what things to focus on.
Top three things I want/NEED:
Stickers
Buttons
Keychains
What are printed patches
So the difference between printed patches and embroidered - the design on an embroidered patch is sewn, while a printed patch would have its design screen-printed on.
An example of an embroidered patch would be like this:
And an example of a printed patch would be like this:
I like both!
What are you thinking of printing on the patches? Like the Monarchs Mountain and maybe the guild logo’s as well?
So looks like we’ve narrowed it down to October 7th or 21st, with the 21st taking the slight lead. If no one has any objections, I’m going to lock down October 21st as the date for the first Briarcon!
Whooooo party music
So this is kinda random, but would it be wierd if I sold apple jelly at briarcon? I have an excess of the stuff and I could put TMPesque labels on them or something? Idk is that something anyone would like?
Dude I think that’d be super cool! I think it’d be neat if people sold handmade goods that were TMP inspired or labeled.
As long as you can get it over the border, that is.
So, question for y’all! Would anyone be interested in pencil cases? I mean something like this. They could also be used to store cosmetic items, or just other smallish items. With the supplier I’m looking at, I could potentially get them from sizes 6" x 3.5" all the way up to 14"x 11".
Also, general status update on merch stuff…I should definitely be able to offer buttons in both 2 1/4" inch and 1 1/4" inch sizes, as well as sticker sheets. I’m working on my embroidering skills, but if I can get them up to par by October, I’ll offer patches as well. 
And I’m currently looking into bookbinding stuff so I can offer sketchbooks <3 Keychains are gonna be a lil tricky but I’m working real hard to see if I can make that a reality.
