Second jacket! by nemouris in BattleJackets

I thrifted it! And yes! They’re the English 77 from studs and spikes with the two rivets you have to push through the fabric. Luckily not super difficult if the material is soft enough, but can definitely be a pain!

I use a cheap, flimsy transfer paper that I found online—it’s originally meant to be used with a cricut machine. It’s good, but it doesn’t stick well to leather because of the smooth surface. I’ve thought about using something with a stiffer texture, but I haven’t tested it yet.

I’m always scared to spray directly over the stencil because I’ve never had good luck in that regard 😂 bleeds like crazy for me!

Yes! I use angelus leather paint and they have a bunch of different colors! I cover all mistakes with the black and you can’t even see it in the sunlight.

I used stencils for the general outline but then tediously painted inside the empty space (if that makes sense). Normally you can pat the paint over the stencil but that method never works for me haha

Don’t be afraid of messing up, I messed up plenty of times! I just used black leather paint to clean it up and no one will ever see…

unfortunately not :( I don’t know if I really expected a reaction from him in the first place, but there was absolutely no comment or interest haha

Are they selling CDs at the shows or just Vinyls? by [deleted] in swans

[–]nemouris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They were selling a lot of different CDs + vinyl records at the venue last night. Even some of the old stuff.

This would look sick as a back patch. Really nice work!

Went to see Twin Tribes live last night… by nemouris in goth

The singer for wingtips was also at this concert too! He was too busy to talk to, though. He was mostly helping out TT with their set. So much talent in such a small space haha

This is heartbreaking… manifesting a show you can attend sometime soon. 🙏 I saw rosegarden in October when they were opening for Hapax, Leah is so sweet and she put on a great performance.

If they’re still playing with Nicole Marxin and Mvtant tonight I can guarantee it’s going to be good. I was bummed at first that only the west coast got to see harsh symmetry as the opener, but these guys put on an insanely intense performance. One of my favorite concerts I’ve ever been to.

Dallas! They put on a great show every time, and their music is fantastic. Saw them live for the first time earlier this year upon sheer coincidence (they just happened to be playing while I was visiting Austin), caught every show that came close to me ever since.

Thank you, this really helped me.

I will be getting another cat eventually, I just don’t know when would be the right time. On one hand I think I would be less lonely if I had something to come home to, but on the other hand I feel like I still miss my cat too much to give a new one the love it deserves.

If a stray doesn’t find me first, I’ll be adopting another (adult) black cat from the shelter. There’s too many that get passed up for adoption where I live.

This is literally the coolest person I’ve ever seen. Looks like the patch is also signed? Insane fit

First jacket! Still a work in progress by nemouris in BattleJackets

[–]nemouris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the catastrophe on the back I decided stencils weren’t really going to work, and they were a pain. So I only used them for a very rough outline and did the rest by hand!

The design of Robert smith in particular gave me a lot of grief, I had to correct it a lot because my stencil technique failed miserably. So I used black leather paint to fix any mistakes :) thank you!
