Hello. Until I get back on track with new art, I'm looking for a group, on Facebook perhaps, for discussing some convention ideas, say Europe area.
Like how to get some materials and what are best. Right now I'm looking to buy a badge making machine. Anyone know something nice, have some experience? Know a group where people might know?

When you say a badge maker, do you mean these: https://cdn.tutsplus.com/psd/upload.....onMaker/10.jpg
(We call them buttons in the US, so I wanted to make sure)
My friend and I pooled some money together for a Tecre hand-press and it's one of the best investments we've ever made. You can get cheap off-brand parts on e-Bay.

I've heard mixed reviews about the cheaper options. Tecre is top of the line for a reason from my understanding.
Do not, under absolutely any circumstances, buy a Badge-a-Minit machine. They're cheap, but I had so many more failed and ruined buttons than ones I could sell. I bought it knowing it would be bad just so I could test my designs out and see if saving up for a better one would be worth the investment. Just skip it altogether and get the nice one. Worst case, you can re-sell it if things don't work out. :P
Best of luck to you!
Yes, buttons. Actually we do call them buttons aswell, I used wrong word.
Tecre looks really pro, I will concider that one. For a cheap option I was concidering a machine from AliExpress, brandless and very cheap but still I prefer to spend money once and have something reliable than buy cheap crap that will break after little use.
Thanks a lot! c:
