Week 31 (+5) What I did after I dropped Rach at the Prom Saturday

31

-The number of days in the months January, March, May, July, August, October and December.
-The number of flavors of Baskin-Robbins ice cream and the shops are called 31 Ice Cream in Japan.
-Turkish slang for masturbation ("otuzbir"). (O.o okay...)



So I have not done a picture post in sometime so here are some pics of me doing some stencil work on a couple shirts and some spare cloth I had around that I might make into cuffs.


This is some of the things gathered to get going on the project. Foam brushes, fabric paint, the stencil, the shirt and cardboard to keep the table clean. This stencil is from a company that makes stencils from Stencil1.com. I've always made my own stencils before but I like this stencil when I saw a shirt that someone made at a event that Stencil1 did so I wanted to try it out myself.


Here are a few shots of the finished shirts and the non-sewn cuffs. (Can't tell that I like big baggy t-shirts can you >.> lol)





Here is a pic of the dark grey t-shirt up close. I don't know if you can see how I smudged the stencil in a few places and how it did not come out ac crisp and clean as I wanted. It kinda mad me mad at myself and sad that I felt like I 'ruined' the shirt but I do like how it looks over all and I'm not to mad. My panda stencil shirt got to smears but I still like how it looks and wear it all the time.


Also got the two on the v-neck smeared and off their mark. Oh well lol. That will teach me to do them upside down next time.

Oh well you live and learn as you go and each time you learn something new for the next batch.

 If you want one of the wrist bands/cuffs tell me and I'll throw up pictures of them when I'm done with all of them. Then ones in the two pics above are just two colors and not cut down and sewn yet so don't judge them to harshly just yet.



Can't wait as I have another stencil from the company coming in the mail and I'm excited to get started again.
