Spray Paints

So I have been seeing a lot of these gradient dyed shirts around lately, many which are NOT CHEAP. I like them but I always keep thinking, I could do that! I thought, ok, I’ll dip a shirt in dye but them I thought there is a more controlled way to do this. I used my Stencil1 Sprayers to really get that gradual change in color from dark to light! So I laid down this shirt that is light blue with dark trim. I decided to keep it simple and make the gradient blue as well. Starting at the bottom, I sprayed all along the bottom several layers, then moved upward doing a little less, then up more and even less,etc…Once it dries I will heat seal it with an iron and have a new summer shirt!

The gradient trend

My Stencil1 sprayer gradient shirt!

Well, I’m having a hum drum kind of day..trying to decide which project to work on, not really feeling like working on any..boo hoo. So from the archives of my hard drive…a shirt I did when I first got my Stencil 1 stencils.

This was a plain white t from the thrift shop..added some of the mini images, like the chimp, the turntable, the awesome Ranchero! Sprayed with the Stencil 1 sprayers in a host of different colors..nice thing, too, the colors don’t bleed into each other. So, you can spray all of these layers..and then heat set the whole shirt.

Here’s a close-up of the layers;
