Shirt Painting - Tumblr Posts

One of my latest DIYs. I started with an oversized black and white striped long sleeve button up and made this! I found some cool card suit themed buttons in a junk drawer which inspired the whole design. Even though I'm not amazing at it and still learning, poker is my favorite game, so I thought it was appropriate.

Plus the clown punk vibes remind me of Shadow from Sk8 so I couldn't resist 😂

Painted another shirt!

So uhm, my day is absolute shit right now, but I was slowly painting this sweatshirt over 4 weeks (the painting stage took 4 weeks, but cutting up failed stencils took me a long time too). I was trying to paint the SFIT logo onto it, and there were a lot of hardships, from paint spills needing me to cover them up with that thick ring of blue paint around the logo, to difficulty with stencils (I tried stencils, gave up and handed painted it all) but I think the most crushing part of it was that it was destroyed while handwashing it. I did everything right as far as I'm aware, I let the layers dry in between (4-5 hours in between layers), I let it cure for 72 hours after it was finished drying, I heat fixed it with a blow dryer after it cured, but the yellow melted off in the wash, honnestly, I'm just so tired right now, 4 weeks down the drain, I just wish I got a better picture of it laid flat, the wrinkles make it look like shit in the picture.
