oh I am SO hooked!

You remember the stencil I cut a week or so ago for the Green Pepper Press "cut it out!" crusade?

Well I wanted to do some more, specifically for stencilling onto t-shirts with fabric paint or bleach, but didn't think I would have time during April - but then Michelle went and extended the deadline, didn't she :)

Perfect!

So I went and ordered a whole heap of plain t-shirts, and fabric paints a-plenty, and a stencil cutting tool, and got busy in Photoshop designing stencils.

And here is my first attempt with the hot cutter...

I am SO pleased with how this has turned out!!!!!!! (even if I did burn my hair.....must remember to tie it back next time)


This is the paper rough draft, I will bite the bullet (and my bottom lip) and try the stencil out on a t-shirt tomorrow - wish me luck!

This t-shirt will be so special because it will be TOTALLY unique, and TOTALLY made by me:

• I took the photo (in Calgary during the anthem before the Canucks/Flames game I went to in March)
  
• I converted the photo to something stencilworthy in Photoshop
  
• I painstakingly cut the stencil out by hand, and
  
• I used (or will do tomorrow) the stencil to create a one of a kind, unique piece of wearable art

And yes, I call it art, not everyone would, but I am prouder of this than almost anything I have ever made, and to me it's art. So ner :)

Here's the original photo:



I'll report back once the t-shirt's done....

Can't wait to make more stencils

Hooked, I tell ya :)
