Love Token with Wreath & Plate

Here is the Love Token with Wreath & Plate.

Rawr! Jammin to Abney Park, really geeked out today and hit some comic shops (Dragon's Lair and Austin Comics and Books.) Among the Deadpool comics I also bought a bust of Alex from the comic Crimson. Been hunting for one for a while now...

(Crimson was drawn my Humberto Ramos, ya know, the guy I'll be stalking at Comicpalooza when I'm not at the table...) :D

Can't wait for the con!

Magnets - Round 1

Here is a shot of the first round of Magnets.

Which is your favorite type?

Fan with Plate

Here is the Fan with Plate.

I had some pieces that I wasn't really able to apply to my bottle cap tokens so I was finally able to create something once they built up a bit.

What are your thoughts?

It doesn't have any bottle caps but I didn't want any parts to go to waste. :)

I'm on Twitter now... Gonna start tweetin away...

Hehe, I'll be posting smaller updates on Twitter, like when I am in the process of a design I might take some pics mid project or just let ya know what I'm making at the moment.

My Twitter link is: https://twitter.com/TurnersTokens

Later today I should be posting some pics of a new design. It doesn't have a bottle cap on it but it us using spare parts I had piling up. =]

Puttin on the Ritz

Jammin to Puttin on the Ritz covered by Shiny Toy Guns. Can't get this outta my head...

Picked up quite a few supplies today and getting ready to roll out another batch of magnets and spinners. Keep an eye out for more pics coming soon and have a great Friday!!

Going to Houston!

I'll be in town all day Sunday if anyone is interested in checking out the Tokens. I'll bring a little bit of everything. If you have questions about pricing let me know.

If you have something specific in mind, give me a heads up! See you soon!

Local Austin Band White Ghost Shivers

Came across them last night. Had to post a few videos of them. http://www.whiteghostshivers.com/

Yet another band I'm falling for... Love the tunes!

Video of Secret Oktober and Steampunk Fashion

I stumbled across this and had to post it. It is from January 2009.

Ways to Display, Use, and Wear Your Tokens #1

The tokens are a great way to add a little flair to a bottle of wine (or mudder's milk depending on your delicate Browncoat preference...) ^_^

Price List

This is a brief price list. The Love Tokens are not currently listed. (I'll add them soon.)

Gold Pendant

Here is a sample of The Gold Pendant.

Silver Pendant

Woot! Finally got the picture of The Silver Pendant to come out clear.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope every one had a great Valentine's Day!
Here are some shots of the newest Love Tokens.

Tabs Tokens

This is a new design. The tabs with the words on them vary and right now I make them in the silver scheme on the Mike's Hard Lemonade caps. It is a Spinner with Gear, Tab and Key. (My titles are so original, right? ;p I keep things simple; I like simple.)

Token Tacks

Some of the Token Tacks are dry so I wanted to post some shots of them. There are a couple other designs not shown. Once they dry I'll post them too. I wasn't sure if I would like the heart, but I think I really like the way it turned out!

Customer Action Shot!

Hehehe... A friend grabbed a shot of her token and sent it to me. If you have one, send a pic to me!

Mixed Metal Pendant

This past weekend has been pretty good. I have tacks and magnets drying and I started on some more intricate token pendants. I will post a couple ideas for how to use/wear/display your tokens later this week.

I dropped some of the Business Caps off at Secret Oktober yesterday, so a big hello to any new visitors!

This is a picture of one of The Mixed Metal Pendant. It has a wide mixture of the different metals but I am also making some that are all one color, like all golds or silvers.
Once they dry I'll post a sample.

My Business... Caps?

Yay! I thought about getting paper business cards but they did have the right feel for what I do so instead I'm going with caps that I can't use for tokens because they are too beat up or too bent. I'm really happy with how they turned out. If you see me at a convention or stop by Secret Oktober be sure to grab one; they may be more valuable than they seem... =]

• Mike's Hard Lemonade

Necklaces with Tokens

I am working on several new pieces and can't wait to wrap them up. This past week I was out of town and away from all of my supplies so I had lots of time to plan.

Working on push pins for cork boards along with some magnets. (They are great for your office or college space!)

I also have a new design in the works and I am waiting for pieces to dry before I can move on to the final touches. I'll post pictures once they are complete.

While you wait, here are some pictures of the 3 Gear with 1 Pin designs with their necklaces attached. I included some of the different colors for the tokens too.
There are three styles:
