Exellent. Absolutely excellent.

Right now I'm working on a stencil that doesn't mean anything to anyone but me, and local people that are older than me. It's this shirt for a theater in my town back in the 80's that my mom used to work at. She also designed the shirts. I own about 4 of the original shirts (although three of them were reject shirts because the screen-printer messed up) but since I wear them all the time, they're fading and peeling, so I don't want to ruin them. Instead, I'm going to make a stencil of the shirt and make a shirt. I will also make shirts for other people that used to work there, that no longer have their shirts. They'll be really thankful for it.

This is the old shirt: [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/bijou.jpg[/url]

This is what I have done so far:

It's nosferatu.

That's a really cool shirt.

VaMpIrEs

That looks really sweet but it's probably going to be tough.

My DIY skills continue to lack. It's because I don't have the patience.

I like that a lot. Do you have a folk project?

Folk project?

[QUOTE=ThievesandBastards]Folk project?[/QUOTE]
do you make your own folk music

I play acoustic guitar. Does that count?

Well, this is how my practice stencil turned out. I'm not totally happy with it. The eye and some of the face got messed up in a way that I don't really like, and the painting was un-even. I'm kind of happy with the ear, though. That was not fun to cut.

When digging through my mom's collection of old shirts, I found this one (It's only the front. The back was cut off and my parents can't/wont explain why). I love my parents, and their obsession with zappa.

Yeah I just stopped. I didn't want to cover the whole thing and I wanted them to just kinda break off.

Your guitar looks pretty cool.

What are all those bottles in the background?

Jones bottles.

Yeah, that's what those are! I knew those looked familiar. I used to drink that stuff all the time but then they stopped selling it around here.

I don't think I've ever had it.

Tulip fabric paint. The specific color fo that one was "glacier white"

wow that's one sexy guitar you got now!

You guys just use spray paint with the stencils? Anything better would work?

Depends where you spray it. If you're spraying shirts you shouldn't really use a normal spraypaint. You should get some fabric paint and use that.

If you're out on the street spraying stuff you should use spraypaint.

[QUOTE=asdf]Tulip fabric paint. The specific color fo that one was "glacier white"[/QUOTE]
Coincidentally, that's the exact same thing I use.

Jones soda is mad overrated.

as is fabric paint for shirts.

(this is coming from a kid that only uses spraypaint =/ )

What kind of fabric paint is best? Do you use spray on fabric paint like [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8269326868&category=41216]this[/url]? Or do you get it in liquid form and use a [url=http://www.allproducts.com/manufacture98/colorify/product1.jpg]roller[/url] or something?

I've never used fabric paint but I'd use the liquid stuff and use a roller on it. The stencil on the shirt will probably come out cleaner and there wouldn't be any underspray. Just clean crisp lines.

This is just my opinion. Wait til asdf or someone else who uses fabric paint comes in here. THey'll give you a better answer.

I use liquid paint and a little foam roller. Using the kind of roller you'd use to paint room probablty isn't such a good idea. I use something sort of like [URL="http://www.orientaltrading.com/otcweb/application?origin=page.jsp&.namespace=browse&event=link.externalProductDetails&categoryId=342679&BP=330&cm_mmc=Shopping.com-_-datafeed-_-datafeed-_-datafeed&sku=56/2902"]this[/URL]

yea i trired white spraypaint on a black shirt and i had to use a lot so i wouldnt suggest it for white on black but on a white shirt, red and black spray paint work fairly well.

Cool, that's what I thought. Maybe I'll swing by the paint store tomorrow. I have a paint store like 5 minutes' bike ride from my house, it's awesome.

I have never used the spray stuff, but I kind of want to try it.

I use just fabric paint in a bottle and use a paintbrush to apply. I've also used a roller and it worked just as well.
