Update about stuff:
T-shirts: We've hit the necessary minimum number of t-shirt orders, so they're definitely happening. So if you've been waiting to see if other people would order.. you're a coward. But you're a coward who can safely order now with the knowledge that it's a sure thing.
Memberships: We're up to about 20 now. Not bad for less than a week! I spent about 2 1/2 hours this evening casting pewter medallions. 00001-00030 are done now!
Flat Earth freebies: I also made some FES cloth patches. I'll include a couple with anything I send out. I'm also getting some FES postcards printed.. and designing a tiny little assemble-it-yourself Flat Earth desk globe sort of similar to
this. It's much smaller, though -- the 'globe' part will be about 4cm in diameter -- and either made from transparent, coloured acrylic or from very thin plywood. Or maybe a combination. And the map will be etched into the material rather than printed onto paper and glued on. I'll post pictures of those when I make a prototype tomorrow (hopefully). In the meantime, here's a picture of the patch (sorry about the image quality, it was taken with my phone):
