Hi Tom, will you sell it thru Camera Quest or direct. Please don't leave international buyers out. Hopefully it's black with either silver, red or yellow markings.
Gil,
I recently bought some Softies directly from Tom, just send him an e-mail. They arrived here without any hassle, which is unusual!

Here's an idea: make a transparent softie, with a slot on the side, so you can put any picture in it.

Well... since I started this poll I guess I better put my money where my mouth is and suggest a design
Here's my take on it:
Black softy with silver engraving... hope you like! And thanks to Tom A from taking this from a wish to reality

Now that the idea is a go I'm going to start a new thread so people can post their designs and a new poll to get an idea of how many units people want.

Classy! I would caution you AGAINST opening the design ideas to everyone unless you want to spend some time selecting a winner. This one takes the first idea to another level. Two for me.

Just like the paint on a black paint MP?
That's called 'patina.'![]()
I think the new emerging word is "beausage."
Byoo-sij---beauty through usage.
Patina is for metal only and is more specific to environmental degradation or change (the dulling of brass, the greening of copper); and beausage covers everthing else..even, I'd say, brassing and---well, wear marks in gen'l.

Yes it got made and there have been several more since that one.
About once a year unless you can convince Tom A to make one sooner ;]
