WOAH. Duct tape wallets? What the-?!

[Coconutty93]

Yeah, I make them.    

I've made a few so far but they were for Christmas, birthdays, trades, etc. so I have yet to come up with a good price. I've been consulting others but I'm still trying to figure it out. But until then, I wanted to see if anybody would be interested in buying/trading for one? They are custom-made in almost any color you choose(pink, red, maroon, yellow, neon green, forest green, dark blue, teal, black, purple...and I plan on getting more) and you get to pick how exactly you want it. What picture? ID on the inside/outside? Multiple business card holders? Stuff like that.

So I guess I suck with the post office thing so I only exchange at meet-ups or conventions or just randomly in person, okay? Sorry for the trouble! Although if there is no way for us to meet then I will try my best to mail it but I'm horrible with sending stuff in the mail. >3<

Anyways~! If you are interested in commissioning a wallet from me, please let me know either on this thread or through a pm. Right now I have room to make....let's say 3 for now.

EDIT: So I think I'm gonna go with $15 per wallet.


Just for clarification: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PICTURES PUT ON THE WALLETS AND I DON'T ASK A PENNY FOR THEM, ONLY FOR THE WALLETS THEMSELVES.

Here's some pics of my recent wallets:

[reppy]

Those are ridiculously cool.  How well do they hold up to wear and tear? ^_^

[Coconutty93]

They should hold up great, duct tape being as sturdy as it is! But I'll tell you what! If they don't, you can send it back and I'll make you a new one for free.  

[VampireFangs103]

Wow. o.o I've made these before, but I never thought to pic pics on them. How on earth did you do that without the pics getting ruined after a while? X3

Do you have a general idea as to a price?

[reppy]

I'm certainly interested in one.  Although, not knowing a price is a bit troublesome. ^_^;  Can you at least say, "I guarantee it won't be over X dollars.."?

[Coconutty93]

Ummmm....I'd probably say $15? The tape itself costs about $5.

[StarryShay]

SHE MADE ME ONE, AND I USE IT EVERYDAY, AND IT'S AMAZING.
Just saying.

[nikkiolie]

I would love to have one. I have just been thinking about how I need a new wallet. So you can put me down for one. I'm thinking purple with a picture of Lilith on it. http://www.pixiekitty.net/042810.jpg

[chelseahavoc]

D: i want one with the sailor scouts on ett

[reppy]

Okee.  You can put me down fer one.  Can I get back to you w/ the details? ^_^

[FateChooseMe]

This is so tempting. >__>

[Coconutty93]

SHE MADE ME ONE, AND I USE IT EVERYDAY, AND IT'S AMAZING.
Just saying.

Haha, thanks Shay~! 

nikki: I'll get right on that! Cute pic btw~!

havoc: I love the Sailor Scouts! x3 Are you interested?

reppy: Yep! Just let me know!

Fate: Who can resist the temptation? Nobody. ;P

[nikkiolie]

Yay! How long do they typically take? And what would be the best way to get you the money? It looks like you live pretty far off, you could mail the wallet when done. I'll pay for shipping.

[The_Geek]

Oooo..... (Think alien voices from Toy Story.)

[Coconutty93]

Yay! How long do they typically take? And what would be the best way to get you the money? It looks like you live pretty far off, you could mail the wallet when done. I'll pay for shipping.

It can be finished in a day depending on if I have homework to do. If you want I could try to finish it sometime this week and then just mail it out to you.

And would you want the id holder on the inside or the outside? If you have it on the outside that leaves more room for extra card pockets and I can still put your picture on the other side.

P.s. - Do you have a PayPal account?

[nikkiolie]

On the inside please. I do have a pay pal account. I get paid Saturday so that is the best time for me to pay but if you would like it sooner I can send it sooner.

[Coconutty93]

Nope, that'll be fine! I'll work on it throughout the week whenever I get the chance and I'll send it out as soon as I get your payment! If you want you can pm me your address. d

[nikkiolie]

Yeah I can do that. Once you get an idea of the price let me know.

[oslapedo]

I am quite happy with my wallet, my money is being stored within it as I type ~

[AgehaIX]

how can you not have a picture of my beautiful Lau and Ranmao one? D:

i have had mine since ...christmas? new years? i cant remember, anyway! everytime i look at mine(which is everyday) i love it all over again! ~<3

[Coconutty93]

I forgot to take pics before I gave it to you! Dx You should text me some pics!

[StarryShay]

I'LL SEND YOU PICS OF MY RIN/LEN ONE SOON~! >3

[soundninja12]

I'm going to post in here so I remember that I want one when I actually have moeny

[Darknight2433]

Oh oh! I want oneeee!

[Coconutty93]

Oh oh! I want oneeee!

Yeah? How would you like it, kind sir? 

[Darknight2433]

UM UM UM

I dunno, do we give you pictures, then ask for it? Or let you wig it? Either would be awesome.

[Coconutty93]

You can either give me a picture and I can resize it to fit the wallet or you can give me a character or something, I can search up some pics, and then I can pm you for your opinion on them. Either way works just fine.

[Darknight2433]

Could it be black with

and

?

[nikkiolie]

Just let me know when the wallet is done and I'll send you the money :3

[reppy]

I'd like to use these 2 images

http://www.montrealmirror.com/ARCHIVES/2003/103003/images/cover_music.jpg

http://musicwallpapers.net/k/wallpapers/King_Diamond/big/King_Diamond_3.jpg

on a black wallet.  But I'm not really sure what I want as far as ID card / business cards, etc.  Do you have pictures w/ accompanying description of exactly what the person requested be done w/ the wallet so I can get an idea of what it'd look like? XD

Edit: When using that first image, please crop out any of the white around it. ^_^;

[cloud-9]

i want one of these! can you PM me when your taking commisions again>?

[Coconutty93]

CatchxMeh: The second picture I could do but the first one would be kind of difficult depending on how you want it. Would you want him cut out or the full picture? If it's the full picture you know there's not gonna be much duct tape wallet to see on the outside, right? Oh, and what color?

nikki: I will! This week has been really busy so I'm doing it every chance I get, sorry. >3<

dana: Dang, bad timing. =,D I'll still be here thought if you decide you'd like one!

reppy: I can do that! But, um, I don't exactly get what you mean. But here's a picture of a wallet(not my picture) http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/dragunov3rlo4d/DSC00943.jpg that has just pockets on the inside. And yes, I can crop out the white.

cloud-9: You're on the waiting list!  

[reppy]

Sorry it's kind of confusing. ^_^;  Maybe a few pictures of wallets you've done w/ a brief description of what exactly you did to it?  Then I'll just pick a design from that? XD

[Coconutty93]

Like the 3 wallets I have on the first page? I put business card holders on the left side with one of those nifty secret slots and then I put an id card holder on the right side with a slightly smaller secret slot thing in there. And of course there's the normal dollar slot. Ummm...or other than that I just put more business card holders on the right side and just put the id card holder on the outside. Which ever way you want. 

[reppy]

Okee. I think I'll just go w/ that design. xD

[nikkiolie]

No worries. Take your time. I fully understand if you are busy. I am half the time too x.x

[Darknight2433]

CatchxMeh: The second picture I could do but the first one would be kind of difficult depending on how you want it. Would you want him cut out or the full picture? If it's the full picture you know there's not gonna be much duct tape wallet to see on the outside, right? Oh, and what color?

Black puhleaz. :3

anddd him cut out maybe? x3

It might be tough since he fades into black but I'll try and then I'll post a pic and see if you like it. d

nikki: Thanks for understanding. =,D

reppy: Cool.

[Darknight2433]

Noooo! If you make it, I buy it, no liking about it! >:0

[AgehaIX]

[Coconutty93]

Yeah they are! It's beautiful~!

[reppy]

Hey uh, so when will I know I need to pay and all that jazz? 

[Coconutty93]

Hey uh, so when will I know I need to pay and all that jazz? 

I'll let you know when it's finished and you can pay then. Do you have PayPal?

[reppy]

Sure do ^_^

[Coconutty93]

Awesome! So when I'm done I'll pm you with my PayPal and as soon as you send me the money(and your address) I'll get your wallet out to you asap!

[Coconutty93]

I've added more pictures of more wallets~!  

[reppy]

[Coconutty93]

Haha, those aren't mine, but thanks. xD And I've already started on yours but I ran out of tape so I have to get some more hopefully in the next day or two. Sorry about that. >3<

[reppy]

Oh hey no sweat. ^_^ 

[StarryShay]

omg your bed sheets ROCK! haha XD Btw .. when can you start workin' on mine? >_>;; 

THOSE ARE MINE. : D
Thank you. ;3

[NekoChan234]

um you might get in trouble for using copyrighted pictures just saying

[nikkiolie]

um you might get in trouble for using copyrighted pictures just saying

I don't think so. Someone could say that they got the wallet and then put the picture on. But I seriously doubt anyone would care. If she made a bigger business out of it then yes. But just making them for friends then no.

[NekoChan234]

but its not just making them for friends shes selling them for money, I'm an artist I write mangas and I myself would be fairly upset if someone took my art and sold it without my permission

[StarryShay]

It's the same thing as printing art and putting it on your binder, or bedroom wall.
If you don't want your art being used, don't put it online. = n =
She's not selling the pictures, she's selling the wallet's.

[NekoChan234]

Shes selling the wallet with the pictures on it which is basically the same thing, and I don't expect you to understand since you're probably not an artist, its rude and disrespectful to use peoples art without permission, especially putting it on "wallets" or whatever then selling them, yeah putting it on your wall or binder Is COMPLETELY different it is not putting it on something then selling it for money.

[Darknight2433]

Whoa now, don't insult Shay, she may be an artist so step off. If you have an opinion, fine, but keep off of insults, or you'll have people to give them back.

I'm neutral. Doujinshi is the same thing, using copyrights of someone else to sell work, but I can see how you're thinking~

[NekoChan234]

First I wasn't insulting her so back off, I was stating opinion and they attacked me first, and doujinshi is completely different they draw the work she didnt she printed off pictures WHICH IS COPYRIGHTED and highly ILLEGAL

[StarryShay]

Would you prefer if she sold me the effing walltet first, and I taped the picture on myself? >O
That's just a waste of my time.
And don't. Put. Your. Art. Online. If. You. Don't. Want. People. To. Use. Et. = 3 =

IluMegan.

Nobody attacked you btw. = 3 =
IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO USE A PRINTER.

Now: this isn't our thread to argue in, so if you deeply care about this, feel free to PM me anytime and we can discuss it.

[Darknight2433]

and I don't expect you to understand since you're probably not an artist,

Know what you wrote yourself, and as I said before, YOU back off. Doujinshi is copyrighted characters which is ILLEGAL, but I understand what you're saying, so we got it. Leave it alone.

And sorry Vamp, for spamming your thread! Hope you can forgive me.

[oslapedo]

Calm down kiddies.

Maybe it would be an issue if she sold these at an Artist Alley table, or pumped them through a machine then mass sold them but I hardly think that a few handfuls of handmade duct tape wallets for less than $20 each are going to make a dent in any industry, whether it be that of duct tape, wallets, or wherever the pictures come from.

Capital letters aren't very good when arguing, that goes for all of you chill'un, they make you seem rather inflamed and unintelligible.

Now that our wangsty emotions are out of the way, can Colleen have her little lemonade-stand duct tape wallet thread back?

[NekoChan234]

If you took it the wrong way then its your own fault I was not insulting her, and yes if you print up the art and put it on the wallet yourself that is fine because that is not you buying the art that is someone else, all I am saying is that she shouldn't be selling other peoples art its not right, and I put watermarks on all my art to keep people from stealing my art, i've had my art stolen before someone claiming that they drew it when they didn't, its not fun and it makes the artist feel like crap and feel totally disrespected by the person, I just think you should have a little more consideration for the artists that take hours creating there wonderful art before taking it and selling it on stuff you have made.

[oslapedo]

She never claims to have drawn any of the pictures on these wallets, and she is earning money not for the printed out fanart but for the wallet itself.

Please unbunch your panties, good sir.

[NekoChan234]

Yes, I never said she claimed the art was hers, I was saying IF the art was hers that would be fine and a whole other thing but due to the fact that other peoples art is on it and she is selling the art on the wallet. I was just trying to warn her that she could get in trouble when everyone else jumped on me and for your information im a girl not a guy -.- and can you just drop it i didn't want this argument in the first place i just wanted to tell her there's a possibility she could get in trouble

[nikkiolie]

I mean this is the nicest way possible. But if she is doing something illegal and gets in trouble why do you care? We get your point and there is no use arguing it anymore. Anyone. If she still wants to sell the wallets she is running the risk.

[~boogiepop~]

I'm an artist and paying 90k to go to art school. I wouldn't care if a random teenager was putting my art on wallets and selling them for such a small amount of money it probably doesn't count for anything.

Hell, I'd feel happy people liked my art enough to do it

[DemonSpawn]

Agreed.
I think it would be flattering, no one's getting paid/buying the art so nothing wrong is going on.


Vampy- Popped in to say these are pretty sweet.

[Pots]

I agree too :O i would love it if people put my art on stuff .

[Titus_Love_Doll]

This is still going on LAME.... okay grow the hell up please and let the girl sell her crap... what ever, it sounded more like a warning them going all out as a complaint anyways. what ever. and not all people likes their art being used. I have my reson for saying this, Hun the wallets look good I wish i knew how to make some for would be a good bday gift/xmas idea anyways. peace .

[AgehaIX]

Oh~ conflict~.
hahah

[soundninja12]

Oh ho ho you silly arguing people~

If she wants to sell it, let her go ahead, whether you think it's illegal or not. She's having fun, so what-evah~
Like how I'm not going to call the cops on the pot smoker that is sitting next to me while I type this, just like he's not going to tell the teacher that I'm not on the site I'm supposed to be *shrugs*
And if someone put my poems on the back of a wallet (because I can't draw) I would be SUPA' FLATTERED, whether they were selling it or not.
I'm sorry it seems like everyone is attacking you, we are really just all trying to stand up for a friend ^^;;
WE LOVE YOU COLLEEN, PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR SPAMMING YOUR THREAD.

P.S
I still want one... eventually...
Maybe with some wookie bad assery on it's awesome silver surface *3*
WHEN YOU HAVE TIME~

[reppy]

Lets all be e-friends. D:

[Cyprus]

You seem to be a bit over-loaded with orders right now...but when you are ready to take on another one, PM me please I would love to have a Repo! wallet made for me...but my only real question would be, "do you make tri-fold wallets?"

[KinkyFriedChicken]

Vamp, I just noticed you were with Oslap and Shay.......and I didn't even think to bring the Heartless plush for you. I'm so sorry. D':
But quick question! Would you like me to ship it out, or just plain hold onto it for you? :0 I never asked that back in my thread.

[Coconutty93]

She never claims to have drawn any of the pictures on these wallets, and she is earning money not for the printed out fanart but for the wallet itself.

Please unbunch your panties, good sir.

What she said. But just for good measure...

NekoChan234: I AM SELLING THE WALLETS THEMSELVES, NOT THE ART ON THEM. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A SINGLE PENNY FOR THE PICTURES, ONLY FOR THE EFFORT AND MONEY SPENT ON THE WALLET. I'm sorry if I offend you or anything but if they have a problem with it, which you seem to be the only one complaining, then I will stop using their art. And no, I don't plan on making this a humungo business, just for friends, family, and people on the forums. And I'd prefer if you didn't bash people even if it is just stating your opinion. Please and thank you.

Everyone else: Dudes! I'm glad you like them! And yeah, if I was a super awesome artist I would totally love people putting it on their shiz! How awesome would that be? Super special awesome! That's how awesome! Oh, and no big deal on the spamming part, I appreciate you guys defending me~! ♥♥♥

Soundie: I'll put you on the waiting list~!

Cyprus: Your name shall be on the list as well!

Kinkeh: Ummmmm....can you just hold onto it from now? I'll send you the wallet but I know if you send me the plushie now I'll give it to my bf before his b-day and I don't wanna do that. Lol.


....anyone I miss?

[KinkyFriedChicken]

^Alrighty then. x D

[Coconutty93]

^Alrighty then. x D

Awesome possum!

[reppy]

Holy smokes.  I haven't said (or heard) "awesome possum" in forever.  Thanks for reminding me of that. XD

[Coconutty93]

No problemo. xD

[Cyprus]

Cool...just send me a PM when you are able to start & let me know if you are able to make tri-fold wallets. Thanks!

[devyrae]

Umm i know all the spots are filled currently but im interested in one whenever you get the time ^^ they look really awesome~
