Here's the test print of the mouth! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for the most part.

And a shirt I made using the image. I experimented with bleach for the first time, intentionally spraying a pattern on the shirt. I really like how it looks, a blazing ball of fire falling...I can't help feeling like it needs a little more detailing though. Another layer on the red. Hmm...also I'm not so fond of the mouth print on black. It's harder to make out what you're looking at...ah well, I like it and will wear it anyway.

I also couldn't help making another set of frames. I'm not sure why I have a morbid fascination with medical diagrams and such and when I came across the image of a jawbone I couldn't resist. I envision making a sort of chevron print with it =) Note: in the test print the black on the front-most teeth didn't print, boo, but I'll be sure to press down harder when printing that again, it was my own mistake.

Here's the test print. I admit I'm a little disappointed that the lines of black weren't a bit finer but I think it has to do with the type of mesh I'm using...I might try going back on that frame to make the lines finer if I can.

And to finish off the show, I played more with my flamingos. On shirts this time. I've been meaning to make one for myself forever - I used the shirt I messed up on when I was playing around with inkodye. I think it worked out well.


So this week I'll be gone on a road trip to Mammoth Caves! I'm excited as it'll be my first vacation in forever. I won't be able to bring much with me in the way of crafting but I plan to hopefully have a drawing started (and maybe completed!) that I'm doing for my Uncle. I'll see about sharing that next week.
Don't have too much fun while I'm away ;)
Fabulous stuff!! You have been busy. I'm loving the t-shirts. I really need to try the bleaching technique. It looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I love that last shrit. It worked out perfectly. I like the fisrt shirt, too. I think the direction of the mouth print makes it so that you can see a few things in the image. So many fabulous things you can make...
ReplyDeleteThese are looking really good!! Im super excited for the swap :) enjoy your holibobs.
