Title: Shirt Stencils!
Post by: alic3sw0nd3rland on 24 Apr 2006, 19:24: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/alic3sw0nd3rland/Finalstencilcopy.jpg)
I have recently gotten into making shirts and I made that stencil for my brother of The Fiery Furnaces for his birthday. Does anyone else do this and have any stencils to share? Or any stencil sites?

Post by: deadritual on 25 Apr 2006, 22:24: ooh! i've been wanting to do t-shirt stenciling for weeks. i've got tons of great ideas... its so rad! you can just use fabric spray paint which works very well, buuut you have to be careful. if you get it too close, it will run, and if you get it too far away, it will go outside the stencil and get all over. your best bet when using spray paint is simply to put something down around the stencil. anway, yeah.

This is what my hoodie has on it. (this is the inverted variety, the actual stencil is much larger and is a PSD.)

I was going to [img] them but they're both quite big. I have them both in .psd form if anyone is interested.

EDIT: On second thoughts, who cares! I'll [img] them anyway.
EDIT2: Much thanks to Black_mage who traced The Cure one on his waccom.

I'm talking about the guy who baptised jesus, whose head was later cut off (by whom and for whom I can't recall.) the image in my shirt is edited from a 14th century painting.

Post by: thistastes on 03 May 2006, 06:12: justin, what kind of paint did you use?
Title: Shirt Stencils!
Post by: Justin on 04 May 2006, 01:52: Tulip brand "soft" brushable matte fabric paint, glacier white, to be exact. I just bought the white fabric paint that was at the local micheals arts and crafts store. It was either this or "marshmellow", which i didn't trust to be white... i mean, if it's white why not have "white" in the name?

Post by: SearchingForThree on 07 May 2006, 11:57: stenciling is pretty awesome, i have never done any like this though, but silk screening is basically the same thing. I've done quite a bit of it at school but all the shirts i've ever made weren't anything spectacular and they were for a club at school. I think i'm gonna try out this though :p
