Moi can’t wait til Feb’09 to do TAD again. This was inspirational and fun. I’m glad to have this extra day. I finally tried KatFish’s paper cut out - t’anks for the fun! Slainte.
This image comes from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Durer). It was conceived to be a 4 color separation using 4 stencils. Well it turned out that i only had silver and bronze spray paint when i went to view my handiwork, so the effect is rather… odd… anyway, i think it holds some promise, for when i have some other colors and with a little refinement. i’d been working on the stencils over a few days, and was excited to make my proof today… alas, it was not as exciting as it could have been with more colors.
This is a stencil made using the free font from www.Skulladay.com . All the eyes are hard to see and so is the skull shape. I am still going to use it tommorrow when I make a bag to hold my coffee in. Be sure to visit www.Skulladay.com to see some one who making a thing a day all year namely a skull.
Freezer paper is a great quilter’s secret. You can cut out shapes from it and iron them onto fabric, where they will stick temporarily. This is a handy way to create a stencil for fabric painting. I made a heart stencil for Valentine’s Day and used a rubber stamp ink pad that works on fabric.
BEFORE . . .
My internet spazzed out again last night for the second time, so I apologize again for the delay.
Any which way, I made some laser cut stickers. They didn’t come out as well as I hoped they would. I made them too small and the lines were too thin.
What I learned:
- They need to be bigger.
- They need to have thicker lines.
- With that said, thin lines make them a real pain to remove.
- Having negative space within the sticker didn’t turn out to be as big of a problem as I anticipated.
today has been a cup noodle day. not only did i make a freezer paper stencil of the logo and “screen” it on a shirt, but i also made a related cup noodle project on my blog “suspect and fugitive”.
Today I didn’t quite finish my thing, though you can get a sense of it. Maybe tomorrow i’ll work on it some more. It’s a dragon in Chinese style, made with an Exacto and paper, all shapes cut out like a stencil.
I was focusing on correspondence as a theme but I am a football fan and a New Yorker. Every year I make a quick n’ dirty Superbowl t-shirt, but this year it was very important to do so. I quickly created a stencil using the stencil font on my computer, a manila folder, and an exacto knife. I then used a sponge brush and blue silk screening ink to stipple. It is now drying.
Whoops, well I guess I missed the very first day - what a start!
Yet, a start that is quite illustrative of my character.
Don’t mind me, while I flounder along behind the punctual artists. I’m doing my best!
Here is my first project. It smells deliciously of grape.
This is a little stencil I created on Photoshop in about 20 minutes. This isn’t exactly the cleanest stencil, but it’s a pretty interesting one. I got the idea from then new Futurama movie, “Bender’s Big Score.” This was the Hanukkah Zombie’s Ti Fighter.
