I've been wanting to do a chandelier stencil for some time, so I thought it could be incorporated into this somehow. Have a cornish pixie hanging from it maybe? It's not very HBP, but it's understated HP. Would love to know what everyone else is doing! -------------------- —¤ ·´¨'°÷·..*-Tammy

That sounds SO cute, Tammy - I can't wait to see what you come up with! I went shopping for fresh supplies on Friday, so I'm hoping that I find free time to work on some stuff of my own this week. Just in case anyone is interested I developed an "Elvendork" stencil a while back. It's in the queue to be coded for Leaky, but in the meantime you can find it here! Here's a close-up of it: -------------------- Jenn

And that is some full on glitter paint you've got there, it looks like it's been printed! I think I'm gonna go with the cornish pixie and the chandelier. I really should be doing other work tomorrow, but I know I'm going to be shopping for supplies! -------------------- —¤ ·´¨'°÷·..*-Tammy

If there's no link with coding, then copy the location link under your photo and click on the little image icon above, paste the link into that and click ok then post the reply.

QUOTE(mixymo @ Jul 5 2009, 12:33 PM) Haha Jenn that stencil is awesome. And that is some full on glitter paint you've got there, it looks like it's been printed! It's actually black fabric paint. I just sprinkled glitter on it while the paint was wet and let it dry in there. It was surprising how well it worked!

Just kidding, of course, I would never spray a poor kitty with a water gun. I always slide a piece of cardboard inside my shirt to prevent the paint from bleeding through. If you do this it makes it portable while wet, so you could always move it somewhere they fear to tred! ETA: to Leaky, by the way - we're so to meet you!

Just Through the Brick Wall Posts: 7 Joined: 8:42pm June 10, 2009	the stencil was slightly better, but there were still a few little pieces and i didn't really like the way it was looking after i cut it out. that being said, i've changed my idea slightly. i'm still doing the "wit beyond measure"quote on the back, but i'm doing just the eagle. i'm putting the eagle on the back because i realized how tight the shirt was across my tummy when i tried it on this morning. i don't want it getting stretched out and funny looking.

I tend to run into that problem with designs on the front as well.

Professional Diagon Alley Window Shopper Posts: 70 Joined: 12:21am May 4, 2008 Location: HP crafting instead of homeworking	Hey guys I was just wondering, has anyone tried the glue 'screenprinting' technique? And does it work well? I know this is a stenciling CAL..but chandeliers are hard to get your head around when you need to include bridges =/ -------------------- —¤ ·´¨'°÷·..*-Tammy

I've checked out that method, Tammy, and seen other people's results, but I've never taken the plunge myself. It just seems a little much for a t-shirt to me. If you decide to try it let us know how it goes - you may talk me into taking the plunge! -------------------- Jenn

It would be awesome for things like highlights or reflections. And probably for cursive writing, too. I might give it a go next week - still working out my design! -------------------- —¤ ·´¨'°÷·..*-Tammy

Leaky's Official Donut Maker and Mosquito Man Posts: 11,144 Joined: 10:51am August 25, 2005 Location: Playing kal-toh with Professor Snape	So I still havent even started my tee yet shuts ears in oven door The finished shirts in the other thread are so awesome. I have designed a text to stencil, I was thinking of doing a DD quote but, I couldnt choose one, I might still do something involving the HPA WWDD slogan but, I cant get the design to work that I had in my head & I cant choose a DD quote because I love them all so, I've gone with something simple. Because it's for the movie release I'm doing a slogan in two parts, HBP (in the HP font) BE THERE <--- this is going to either be on the front or, if I do a long sleeve shirt on one sleeve & then on the back or on the other sleeve OR BE A MUGGLE (no offense to muggles intended) (I'm also making a Doctor Who stencil design but, I cant figure out how to get a recognizable Tardis lol) (I'm doing THE ANGELS HAVE MY <--- this is on one sleeve, then, on the other sleeve will be a Tardis if I can figure out how and PHONEBOX) -------------------- I'm 1 of the 99.99% W.L.Y.J. When I sleep I dream, and when I dream I can rise above the walls Remember Cameron Duncan Thanks Jeff!
