Anthrocon is just around the corner, so it's time to get in your badge pre-orders!

The specialty badge for this con, in keeping with the Midsummer Night's Dream theme, is a Shakespearean badge laser-carved from wood. Your character wears a simple Elizabethan collar and holds your choice of Shakespearean prop in his or her hand; the artwork is in an olde tyme woodcut style and your character's name is printed on a scroll. Badges are approximately 4" wide by 6" tall cut from 1/8" thick alder wood, and include a badge clip.

Woodcut badges are $40, and can be paid for when you pick them up Friday at the con. (Cash, credit cards, or Paypal accepted.) If you're going to be at Anthrocon and want to order one, fill out this handy form:

And of course, if you just want a laminated color badge, you can pre-order those to pick up at the con as well. Fill out this form for a color laminated badge:

No specific slots to reserve this time; I'll temporarily close off the forms if orders start to become overwhelming. But do order soon to make sure there's enough time to get the badges drawn and manufactured in time for the con!

Thanks, see everyone in Pittsburgh! ^.^
