You know I’m always looking for surfaces! I joke that if it stands still long enough, I will stencil it..so, it’s really only a half joke! My husband finally let me get my inky paws on his R1! He had some extra fairing pieces for his motorcyle, and after a good washing..they were perfect for decorating! So…what will you stencil next???

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!
