About 6 months or so ago, Sumiko introduced me to printing on t-shirts with freezer paper. Basically, it's an easy way to create a stencil to then print on fabric (this is a great tutorial if you are interested).
Since I've been wanting to experiment with different ways of printing on fabric, I recently thought I'd try the freezer paper method again to see how realistic it is to make more detailed stencils.
I quickly found that it can be done, but it's terribly time consuming to trace and then cut out each letter (with an x-acto knife). I definitely think freezer paper stencils work best for more simple designs.
However, I did have a lot of fun making these t-shirts for our super good friends, Noa and Julie (to celebrate their 8th anniversary).
Yummy!
I love my new camera (that Herman got me for my birthday), but the thing I was NOT loving was the giant neck strap that it came with. That neck strap would look big on an SLR, let alone this little guy. And since I'm sort of a klutz, and I tend to drop things...I figured that I was going to need something to secure the camera to me.
I found Lilybug on Etsy and was immediately smitten with her hand made wrist straps. I emailed her to see if she had any other fabric choices (she did!) and I chose this cute little Japanese apple fabric.
I love it, it stays securely where it should, and it came with a secret added feature: husband repellent! Herman says he just can't be seen carrying around a camera with such a girly wrist strap. ha!
I also want to thank you all for letting me know your thoughts on our big kitchen wall art decision. It's so much fun! While choice number one is clearly the favorite (and with good reason!), we're leaning more towards choice number 2 and I'm totally fine with that (although I did purchase this little guy to go with on our living room wall...I think he'll fit in quite nicely there). One we make a final decision and get the prints framed and hung, I'll definitely come back with photos.
