Dragon Stencil

[m0nst3r.livejournal.com]

Earlier this week I made my first stenciled sweatshirt for a friend. It's not perfect, but I think I did good for my first try at it. :)





(The light-ish gray color on the body isn't where the paint is thin, just light reflecting off.)


Most people use freezer or contact paper, but I saw sticker paper and thought I would try that out instead. The small detailed parts of the stencil didn't stick so well to the fabric, but it didn't really give me any problems. The lines of the wings aren't the smoothest... I was in a rush to get it done so I couldn't spend as much time on it as I wanted to.

In the past I've just used fabric paint and would freehand the picture I was doing. Afterwards the fabric would always be so stiff and after a few washes would crack :( I think the way I did it this time was a lot better, though. The fabric is still extremely soft and flexible :) Hopefully soon I can make some more!
