Craftiness

31 Jul

I stenciled some shirts last year with paint for fun, but bleach stenciling is all the rage now (on LJ anyway). Too bad I’m giving this shirt away; I kinda like how it looks on me ;)

Featuring: the awesome intro to “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” by The Clash
I can’t take credit for the idea: I saw it here first.

In case you didn’t catch it, the words say “Everything you like I liked 5 years ago”. Also, this is the first video I’ve posted from my [new] camcorder. There’s not much difference in quality, I suppose, but it’s nice to have a zoom and autofocus.

    hahaha you are an artist… it looks cool… and yes, it looks great on you… by the way, you are as beautiful as always… (¬¬ of course, why should it change? ;P)

    And the quality of the cam is high too… good video… what are your “holidays” like?

    That’s pretty freakin cool.
    I made a couple shirts with iron-on letters for Halloween a few years ago.
    I’ll dig ‘em out of the drawer.
    One said “I Am The F***ing Idiot”, minus the *** plus uck.
    The other said “Jyar vindalooup beety” or some such nonsense. I just used all the letters I had left.

    I can’t take credit: I saw the idea here, first. Then I dug around a community.

    Love the shirt! It’s time for me to get back to doing some ‘t shirt surgery’- it’s so much more satisfying doing it yourself. Thanks for the inspiration.

    hi annie!

    Wow… very nice. I would like to buy one. Do you make custom messages? You should set up a web site.

    I would definitely buy.

    That was pretty cool, I did something like that awhile ago but I used fabric paint. Never would have thought to use bleach. I also used stencil sheets and it came out pretty clear.

    Stumbled upon your blog via “Rocket Boom”. Nice job with the video and with the shirt.
