i now pronounce you frog and pig

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.

Squee, that came out beautifully!

I was also wondering if you happened to own a plush Kermit, or happened to know if there was anywhere in Perth that stocks lifesize muppets?

I own a plush Fozzie Bear, but not a plush Kermit. My sister also collects - I can ask her if she's got one, but I don't think she does. Anyway, I got Fozzie from the Royal Show. As far as I know, it's the only way to get lifesize Muppets in Perth. What did you want him for?

I found the cutest fabric, (it's quilting fabric, but it's a variegated green/yellow with little froggies and possibly crowns on it, can't remember) and I plan to make it into a lolita 'frog princess' dress, so I wanted a Kermie for photoshoots =) Fortunately, there's always ebay!
