On Fabric painting

Jul 22, 2006 23:51

I dont think I told many people about my fabric painting skills. Though it is not of my finest, I achieve a certain goal that is otherwise not possible. I have always wanted to wear some geeky shirts instead of "Beer is better than women" or "Screw me". But I dont get to buy them anywhere , even in Bangalore. So, I decided to put my fabric paints and brush, a bit of my free time and some thinking/browsing to do it myself.

Believe me, it is a fine hobby and is not too difficult. Just needs lots of patience and enthusiasm. I plan to share a small bit about fabric painting later in an other dedicated post. Now, I am just going to recall the cloth paintings that I have done so far. These things are not something that you frame and put up in a wall. You put them onto urself and make use of them. So, it is practical and it is cool because you can show off too.
  1. A spoof of the matrix - I dont seem to get this picture back in search. This was back in the college days, atleast 4 years old.
  2. An asterix hand kerchief. My chief still carries it in her bag and never uses it to wipe anything (She is trying to preserve it, apparently)
  3. A Donald duck handkerchief that I gifted to my little brother. Dont think he or anyone else knows where it is now.
  4. A black shirt with "There is no place like 127.0.0.1" on white. Came out pretty ok.( Pic coming as soon as I come back to India. )
Well, why I am writing about this shit right now is, I got content for my next shirt. I am going to plagiarize from thinkgeek. Sorry guys, I cant afford to buy T-shirts for 20 bucks. I still earn in INR.
The content is quite simple.

And that is why love it.
