T-Shirt painting

July 20, 2017

I happened to see a woman with a t-shirt on the other day that happened to have this quote on it..."Find Your Tribe; Love Them Hard".  There was also a feather on it.  I tried to get to her and ask where she was able to find this, but I was busy with a customer at the time and I couldn't get to her.  When I got home, I looked on the internet and couldn't find that shirt anywhere. There were others with this quote on it, but none that seemed to appeal to me.  

My mom always said, "Necessity is the mother of invention" so I decided to make my own!  I love it!  I used Sharpie Stained Fabric marker in black for the lettering.  I also used some feather stencils for the images.  The pigment was Liquitex Heavy Body Muted Grey.

 

This was a first for me, painting on clothing.  I was reluctant to risk ruining any of my tops, so I went into Goodwill and snatched this great tunic t-shirt for under $4.  There was a senior discount that day!!  Yikes.  My first for that, too.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

“Being an artist is not just about what happens when you’re in the studio. The way you live, the people you choose to love and the way you love them, the way you vote, the words that come out of your mouth...will also become the raw material for the art you make.”
