Great Conference!

We've wrapped up our time in Long Beach.  The shop is open online, so drop on by for anything we ran out of at the conference.

Where's the next great design going to come from?  YOU!

Let us know if we need to add a new design and if we produce your idea, we'll send you a free shirt or 10 free buttons with your idea on it.  Don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect, our design staff can polish your diamond.  Email your ideas to dragonfly@metalinsect.com.

Shop open, half of the scarves are sold

Buttons for you

They're heeeere!

Buttons

Worried? Don't be. There will be over 3000 buttons for you in Long Beach.

That's right. Three thousand.

That's a stack of 30 hundred-squares. If we stacked the buttons up, it would be as tall as a six story building. Lined up, they would stretch the length of a football field.

You'll want some

So we're getting them ready for you.  You can't get them here.  But you can get them here.

NEW SHOP OPEN

We're prepped and stocked for the AMI Refresher Course!  Get a sneak peak at what's going to be there.  Reduced pricing will be in effect at the conference so be prepared for the rush.

What else is there?  20 new button designs ("Deviated") to make sure you've got the minimum amount of flair covered.

Also a completely new product for MID will be available in limited quantities at the Refresher.  Hint: paper is involved, packs easily, makes a great gift.

Get the right covers on those TPS reports and we'll see you in LBC! (So much drama...!)

The RUSH

We are in high gear prepping images for the Refresher.  Our printer is printing, the shipper is shipping, the flux capacitor is fluxing.  It's on.

We're working on some new designs (of course) but also a couple new products.  We're excited to hear what you think!

In the meantime, check this out...on what Montessori school did for this entrepreneur.

A Taste

Here is a new shirt design based on a button design that we premiered last year.  The buttons flew off the table at the conference so we thought, "Hey, maybe folks would want a groovy vintage style shirt, too!"

You'll still be able to get the buttons, but the shirt is just wicked comfy and can't be missed.

Did you hear about how the binomial cube was the key to the universe?  It was a big deal at TEDx this past fall.  Even cooler, you'll notice that Fitz is wearing the original Metal Insect button during his presentation.  (Thanks to Maura for FedExing it to him in the nick of time.)

If you cared, you'd buy them a shirt...

If you really cared, you'd buy them notecards, buttons, and stickers too.



Not everyone can make it to the conference; we know that. But though they be out of sight, they be not forgotten and to avoid their wrath upon return, you should be sure to pick up a little something while in Long Beach.

Since no one likes to see you play favorites, just be sure that you bring back enough for everyone.
