I don't have much time in my day to be crafty, but when I get an idea, it's like a splinter: I've got to get it out or it may get infected.
That being said, I have been trying my hand at freezer paper stenciling. So far, I've made three attempts.
The first one, a bunny for a shirt for Iwa, didn't turn out so well as a result of me not understanding the directions on the ink I used.
The second attempt did turn out well and ended up being t-shirts for the ladies I work with.
Since I don't have pictures of the first two on my computer now, here's a photo of attempt 3:
It's a play on the old logo of the Triumph motorcycles- the kind my dad has been messing with for years. I was going to replace his name in a patent plate like this:
...but those numbers are a booger to cut out with an Xacto knife, so I saw this version:
...gave it the old school font and swoosh going into the "h" from behind and called it done.
I have many more plans for customizing clothes for the kids (and a few ideas for adults) and now with a Goodwill even closer to home and two months without school, there's no stopping me!! (slowing me down, however, is very very likely)
