How are you all dealing with the heat and humidity? Today I distracted myself with a new creative project.
I am really drawn to condors and I decided to try making a stencil that I could use for putting a condor silhouette onto a Tshirt. I know that some people use freezer paper for this. I didn't have any and I also wanted the stencil to last through many uses so I decided to use poster board. You could also use bristol board or thick card stock. This is the first time I've used Tulip fabric spray paint and it was much thinner than I expected. I don't know if the poster board will last through the first use without warping so I plan to put a coat of acrylic paint on both sides first.
I found a condor silhouette that I liked using Google Image search. Then I edited it in Paint to remove most of the black (saves printer ink).
Here are photos and notes of the process. If you can't read the text, please click on the image to make it larger - the blurriness goes away.
I'm really happy with the results! :-)
