Make a stencil, and use it in your artwork today.
--I really feel like this should have counted for two days. Technically, it's asking you to do two different things. (gripe gripe gripe)
OK. Because I am over-industrious, I decided to make a one-time-use stencil and paint a t-shirt.
Here is le plain t-shirt from I Have No Idea.
I decided to do rain drops. Two wax paper sheets worth of rain drops.
Which I then had to cut out.
And this is when I started to question myself.
The plan was to iron the wax paper onto the shirt, then spray paint it.
I looked on a website, and it promised that this idea was trustworthy and good.
The ironing, it did not work. Apparently when not-so-trustworthy webadvice said wax paper, they really meant freezer paper (not the same thing). But I did not cut out all of those stupid raindrops for nothing.
So I glued the wax paper to the shirt.
--Except for one bit, which I left loose for EXPERIMENTATION.
These are the spray paints that I am using.
Mid-process.
The stencil is very obviously not salvageable. Also, while most of it came off, there were a few bits that needed some extra encouragement.
Also, my fingers are still paint-y.
A close-up of the rain drops.
The wax paper that I didn't glue down smeared, so I just sprayed a light mist of paint over most of the shirt to make it look more intentional.
Outside, right after completion.
Inside, drying. Tomorrow I'll wash it to see whether removing the glue residue affects the paint.
Overall, I think I like it. But, next time, freezer paper.
I will post the washed, completed project asap.
