Thanks guys, I hate spammers just as much as you do. I just wasn't thinking and should have just said thanks to the person that sent me the link. I'll introduce myself and tell you a little about how this whole thing started for me.
I am all about GITD! I love it. I play with it. I make everything glow and sell some of it. Did I mention I love it!
The forum I 'live' in is
Glow in the Dark It is run by the people who have glowinc.com which is a great place (a bit spendy tho) to get gitd powders or paints. I've belonged to the forum for several years now. We don't tolerate BS spam either.
The forum started out as a place where a bunch of us were learning to do sky murals with gitd paint. Invisible by day and starry at night. None of us knew what we were doing, so we fed off of each others ideas.
Since that time, the forum has grown immensley, covering all sorts of gitd related things. We have a flashlight mod section that is real popular with people from another light forum, candlepower, or something like that.
We have our resident 'experts' in different areas, like star painting, silkscreening, fishing junk, and I am the go to person for casting epoxy and resin. Oh and anything cloth. The fabric is ridiculous. Seriously. Also stupid expensive. $50 per yard. That is insane. It comes from Australia, the only place it is manufactured.
The clothes gig sort of happened second and by accident. A bunch of new people were coming into the forum and asking "How do I make my cornhole bags glow?" EEP! I am from California and the first thing that popped into my head was - incarcerated for life! some kind of prison porn! I pretty much ignored the questions. After about the 20th person asked the same thing, I decided to investigate and find out wtf they were talking about.
I googled cornhole and about fell out of my chair! It is a bean bag game and it is HUGE. HUGE!! These people love this game so much and are so OCD about it, they want to keep playing after it gets dark! Problem is, they cant see the bags at night. Enter me....I found the gitd material and started making glow in the dark cornhole bags. lol
Since I had the fabric, I was commissioned to make a pair of jeans for a lady in NY. Then a jacket. And the latest thing was the skirt, vest and tie. No, I've made several ties, actually. Be warned, the price tags are not for the weak of heart. (I got 800 for the jeans) Everything is one of a kind.
I also came across a deal on some gitd adhesive backed vinyl, like sign shops use only never have because it is so damned expensive. I use that to make decals for those stupid cornhole boards, glow in the dark fret markers for guitars, gun sights, window decals for cars, and glow boards that you use a laser pointer with to 'write' on. I have a big piece of the vinyl on my ceiling in my bedroom that I 'scribble' on. So I'm not too far out of my element, being here. I love what the Grafitti Research Labs did with lasers!
I'm just a geeky old lady (probably old enough to be your grandma or at least your mom), who joined the ranks of the unemployed last year, trying to get by and have fun at the same time.
