Whoopsy fingers slipped and I bought some more art, this time two canvas prints of the following:

I'll calm down after this and stop buying art for a while.

I was looking at bauhaus art the other day. I reckon I could make a stencil of the face and spray bleach on a black T-shirt to make one. I'd leave out the circle, circles are a drag to make look crispy sharp... unless anyone has a laser cutter. https://99designs-blog.imgix.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1920px-Bauhaus-Signet.svg.png?auto=format&q=60&fit=max&w=930

I have a cricut, what were you thinking for stencil medium?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No idea tbh, I used to use slip sheeting which is kind of like the black square of plastic that came in the bottom of the original green bags but for warehousing. Being able to use a weak spray glue to stick the fabric to the stencil was best for sharp edges.

I actually have stencil material, but it feels kinda like very thin silicon. Can cut stuff up to and including balsa tho if you want choppy choppy, just sling me the pattern

Alternately i actually have iron on vinyl and fabric pens i can load in the fucker to just draw directly on a tee (works with light colours)

Hmmm. Now I'm wondering if i can 3d print an adapter to fit a bleach pen to the head and draw with that....would probably wick like a mofo though....

There's a wide variety of refillable graffiti pens. Those folk like to use custom really hard to clean ink.
