Oh my lord! Inspiration! I went out and bought the supplies last week, but I have been too 'scaredy-catted to give it a whirl. Don't ask me why, the worst that could happen is that I make something really awful looking and is that really, I mean really an end-of-the-world scenario? I obviously have issues.

But yours! Wow! First time, right? Super brilliant job you did!

Can I ask where you found the stencils?

AND HOLY FRAKKIN TOASTERS!! Love it!!

This type of project gets from Snarky as there's a high rate of return for very little technical skill.

She downloaded stock clip art and photography images from the internets (just Google Images, really), applied Photoshop filters to them (usually the "stamp" stylization) and reduced them to grayscale images (if needed).

Then she placed a sheet of freezer paper over the images and exact-o'ed the crap outta everything. Very tedious work, but perfect for a Mindless Sunday.

The "blood" droplets in the heart stencil are two different sizes of hole punch followed up with little tiny v's cut with the ever-handy exact-o. Snarky suspects she'll be finding little freezer paper v's in her house for the next six months.

Way too cool, way too cool! I admire your crafty-ness!

Shucks. The funny thing is: Snarky doesn't wear that many t-shirts most of the time... but now she wants to make several and is scrambling for a reason to wear them. She saw a Most Excellent T-shirt with a picture of Pluto and the text "Never Forget" underneath... which is just the right kind of cheeky monkey for Snarky.

Those are awesome!

Danke.

I love the shirts. Very creative.

And I want my own Frakkin' Toasters shirt. No one around me would get it, unless they're a fan of BSG, but that is fine by me. he he he

Exactly - "retro" enough to pass for "hipster", with a secretly gooey, geeky core.

Snarky almost didn't include the text either, but the image is distorted enough to require clarification, even for hardcore BSGers. Maybe she'll make her own shirt with ginormous, BSG style letters spelling "F R A K".
