After all of that Muppet talk yesterday and the day before, I took this picture of Beaker as the main figure in The Scream, and turned it into a shirt:





If you're interested, I just used plain black fabric paint (and my tiniest, tightest brush) on a cotton washer canvas. I'm not actually sure if I like the way the canvas has held the paint - it's run a little through the grooves, but overall it's okay, I think. Painting the image took me about five, maybe six hours, so that's how I spent my Saturday night. It's fraying at the edges, as cotton does, but I'll run the stitching (that holds it to the shirt) through a sewing machine when I get a chance (and access to one), and it should be okay.

I've another project that I'm thinking about for next weekend. I've got a peach drill cotton to try, so I'll give that a go.

EXTREMELY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!

I like it as a shirt, but I think it would be, if you ever tire of the shirtness, even more wonderful as framed art.

That's a cool idea! I love the idea of it coloured, actually, as well as framed.
