Metallica Vest Backpatch!

I finally finished painting my Metallica "KILL 'EM All" Backpatch! I love it soo much, I was expecting it to go way worse then it did. The hand was one of the biggest hassles wich is pretty predictable. Everything had to be re-worked a dozen times especially the text and outline. This took me about 4 days of on & off of painting. Today I put a coat of varnish on and added fabric glue the edges so it doesn't fray.

Update on battle jacket!! I added on quite a few since last time (I think from Blackfoot/XYZ down) and sewed on the bottom four just now! There’s space beneath them for 2 more patches, and a bunch of space on the front too!

I’m really proud of how it’s coming out, 'specially bc it’s all hand sewn (even if it can be a little sloppy), and it's all bands I love and listen to! Plus some other fun patches, like the Camp Crystal Lake one and my spooky pumpkin :3

Hey everyone, thought I would try and reappear a bit

Might as well share it on here... My battle vest \m/

The Mgła, Blackbraid and Death patches are all hand-made by yours truly, as are the button pins (because international shipping is truly a pain in the ass).

My partner finally started work on his battle jacket. He knew he wanted a big back patch dedicated to his favourite band but he couldn’t find anything that he really liked. I asked what he would ideally like and after a lot of talking, and planning, I got to work and painted this!

I had a lot of fun and I kinda want to do more, so if anyone wants to commission me then send me a message 🦅

This blog is now 10 years old

On the 9th of May of 2013 I started this blog. Although I don't come here very often anymore, I have great memories here on Tumblr. Thank you if you're still around!
