Busy Night for Stencils...

first thing i did, was take the stencils i made the other day and put them to use

remember these:

i measured my blank shirt, found the top center for where the logo would be, and marked it:

i then centered the stencil/freezer paper, and ironed it on. was amazed at how much the freezer paper cooperated. i took the old cut out of the paper and lined it up with the outer edge of my stencil:

 you can see i marked off spots for the center "spoke hole" design:

lined up the design and ironed that too:

then painted with a spray-on fabric paint. i wanted to get a worn/distressed feel for the logo:

oops! didn't use my brain too hard on that one, eh:

no worries, seemed a bit off and too intricate for my first time anyway. so i painted over the mistake:

that's it for the white boarder! on to the next step soon...

round 2 of my night



3 Invaders jerseys in various stages:

#17 for my teammate Jeff has all the necessary parts: front logo, shoulder logo, rear numbers, & shoulder numbers. no worries there! Connor's Brown & Gold Original has the front logo, and shoulder logo finished. need to make him rear numbers (original 8" digital style), & shoulder numbers. at this point, only players that actually play on the team get the "varsity block" numbers on their Brown & Gold Original (unless otherwise requested either way). Ben's White & Gold PA Jersey however... has nothing completed! the White & Gold Jersey needs the front "PA Invasion" logo, the shoulder "drop shadow I" logo, 3" black-gold-black digital shoulder numbers, & the 8" rear digital numbers. so i spent about an hour or so tracing everything out:



then i called it a night...

Freezer Paper

that "freezer paper" t-shirt stencil that i saw on Uni Watch that i mentioned here...

i started the project this weekend

first, i bought the Freezer Paper:

didn't have a clue what i was getting into with that stuff, but it's shiny on one side, and paper on the other.

then, i drew up a logo of just another company that exists in my world. fairly intricate. don't want to give you a straight-on color version of it yet (what fun is that?)... would rather you all see the progress and finished product.

but i took to printing it out to scale, cutting it out, then tracing it onto the freezer paper:

 then cutting again.

my progress:

would have made it alot further along on the project... but, i bought the wrong color paint to start out with. also, TK and his friend Mike came into town striaght outta the Bronx, and a fun weekend ensued!

will continue as soon as i get me some paint!
