Introducing Miniature Menagerie, an animal art collection made especially for Badge Bomb, by the wonderfully talented Susie Ghahremani of Boygirlparty. This button collection goes through time from the age of dinosaurs to highly evolved music-playing cats!

We at Badge Bomb had a ton of fun collaborating with UK artist, Gemma Correll, to bring you the Puppy Party button collection!  You might know Gemma from her awesome pug illustrations.  That’s how she first got on our radar a few years back.  We were really excited to finally have a great project to team up with her on- our mutual love for dogs of all kinds!  There are 24 unique buttons illustrated by Gemma - find them at cooler retailers near you!

Best part is, Badge Bomb will be donating 2% of Puppy Party button sales to the Pixie Project, a Portland-based animal rescue charity that has helped successfully place over 1000  pets with new families! Here’s how Pixie Project describes their mission on their website :

The Pixie Project is “committed to changing the image of a ‘rescue’ or shelter animal. With a fully stocked non-profit pet supply store and a knowledgeable and supportive staff trained in the art of ‘pet matchmaking’ adopting a pet through the Pixie Project feels more like a personalized dating service.”

Rescue Dogs Here’s Emma the long time Button Forewoman at One Inch Round (on the left) with her pal Denny from the Pixie Project. Denny was a short term rescue dog who lived and worked with Emma while looking for a permanent home. He found an awesome home by the way!

Don’t worry this isn’t going to be a conversation about your button number. Whether you want to wear the “bare minimum 15″ or if you want to wear 100 buttons (that would be incredible to see so if you do please send a picture) or if you want to wear 1, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you express yourself.

Look, we’re not trying to be “Stan the man” here, and over emphasis the fact that flair is a form of personal expression. We know that you already know how to express yourself. It isn’t about how many buttons you wear (although a 100 is not shy of expression) its about how you wear it, where you where it, and what design you choose to wear that is 100% uniquely you, and being you is the best way to maximize your flair.

Check out this flair! How do you like to show off your button attire?

Badge Bomb buttons are the love children of One Inch Round’s dedication to using the best button technology, and the highest quality recycled materials, plus the fun innovative inspiration that comes from the many artists, designers, and illustrators that get cozy with us. All Badge Bomb buttons are created in Portland, Oregon, but what happens after a Badge Bomb button is all grown up, packaged, and ready to leave its Portland nest?

It’s out in the world like a Cat Steven’s song, that’s right, Baby, It’s a Wild World, and like the people who wear them, Badge Bomb buttons gotta be free and expressive.

Amanda is showing off her tokidoki badge bomb button love bag.

Mary and Craig really know about enthusiasm when it comes to wearing their buttons.

Where can you find Badge Bomb next?

They can be anywhere! They were spotted at San Francisco’s Treasure Island Music Fest. It’s up too you wear they go.

If you want to see more Badge Bomb in the Wild get your camera, pen, or paint ready for the next contest coming your way so stay tuned for the details!
