I am disappointed to have to raise my  TRACKED INTERNATIONAL shippings rates from $14 to $20. This also means a change from USPS to UPS (United Parcel Service) for this service. If I stayed with USPS it would increase to $25. Unforetunately, these rate incrases are out of my control. The most affordable rate is to use untracked postage, which remains $4. Please see my FAQ page.

I am excited to release Part II of my ongoing mosaic of linked mission patches, inspired by NASA’s Artemis II. This design depicts two astronauts inside the Orion capsule, gazing out the window in quiet awe at the lunar surface—a moment of reflection that captures the human side of this historic mission. Created to interlock with the first patch, it advances a larger, story-driven mosaic. Earth rises over the limb of the Moon, echoing Apollo 8—a mission with similar objectives. Artemis II represents a human return not just to the Moon, but to firsthand experience, and I’m excited to share this next chapter with collectors. The patch is 4 inches wide and features a hybrid embroidery and DTF construction.

The “Mach 39” patch celebrates the extraordinary speed achieved during NASA’s Artemis II mission, which sent four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—on a journey around the Moon aboard the Orion spacecraft. The patch referenced the blistering speeds Orion reached during its return to Earth, approximately Mach 39, as the spacecraft plunged back into Earth’s atmosphere. The patch also carries forward a tradition dating to the Space Shuttle era, when the iconic “Mach 25” patch commemorated the shuttle’s hypersonic return to Earth.
