In Action - Part 2

So  here I am again, In the last post I promised you guys I would show some photo updates.  I have used scrap shirts for practising.
 So here it is, tell me what you think . 
(The things I used will be down below, If curious.)


Theses are the stencils I made In the space of two weeks, I have been trying to do more Urban, edgy art recently and I think this may be it.


The first one is of a girl with headphones on, the second one is a letter stencil that I just made up, the third one is a typicall stereotype black boy from USA that plays ball, the fourth is a young urban girl with a beanie, the fifth one is an afro boy (He thinks his cool) and lastly the lollipop girl with a bit of edge and the business initials.

A very small description of what they are about or if not ill let you decide.


 
Here is just a little look of how it turned out (My first stencil!!!! wooop.)
The scalpel gives such great neat lines to the stencils, thats what I love about 
this new scalpe I bought.

In Action - Part 1




So 'In action', many of you maybe thinking what that means, for me.
 
If you have read previous posts of mine, you would have seen me mention that I was going to start designing T-shirts with my own art printed on them (New aspect to my Business - Ways of promotions).

I have been keeping myself busy recently and really trying to put alot of things into action In terms of my business, creating things that I can actually see. Being a young entrepreneur is not easy but I find recently I have been juggling alot of things at one time. 

I  hopefully want to start selling theses T-shirts in the spring near summer, this is my goal. Its going well at the moment, I have been experiementing with many paints, this wasn't as neat as I wanted it to be so then I moved on to the Tulip spray, and It's alot easier to apply onto the fabric im using. I stuck with the permanent grape and sapphire, I love the colours on the white vests. The work perfectly but in the near future I still want an actually spray can eventually.
One thing Im glad about is that I have the best supoort system around me, My twin is constantly offering her survices to help me, my big sis always makes sure my head is on straight and never lets me fall, always there to pick me back up. lastly my mother is my inspirating and is always there to give great advice. What more could I ask for...???? I dont need anything else. Thanks to my beautiful queen and princesses.


 Photo of my twin helping to do a customised Black  T- shirt: 21 On the back and sun glasses chick on the front.


I have actually been using the Tulip Matt tubbs for my practice and the tubbs look like the ones in the above photo. The paint is not too bad and dry pretty fast. The one thing I dont like about the white one is it does not look the same dry and wet. Its really light and doesnt look neat enough for me. So yes I have stopped using those, only if I have to do a practice shirt, I will use it to save the good stuff. 





Hobby craft is my store, I love it. It makes me spend all my money, but its all worth it in the end. Thumbs up to all the Hobby craft stores out there!!!!.
...And just in case you was wondering what I have been using, The information is below
What I have been using:
  • Fiskars Cutting mat - Hobby Craft - £5 << I think, Can't rememeber exactly, but it's close.
  • Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - Black - Hobby Craft - £2
  • Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - Blazin  Blue - Hobby Craft - £2
  • Tulip dimensional slick fabric paint - White - Hobby Craft - £2
  • Tulip permanent  fabric spray - Sapphire - Hobby Craft - £8
  • Tulip permanent  fabric spray - Grape  - Hobby Craft - £8
  • Scalpel Knife - Hobby Craft - £5 << Also not sure, but close. 

Look out for the next post,  it will most definately be packed with photos of what I have done so far and more.

New Years - Change Of Heart...?

This is going to be short..

Im back after the new year and Im feeling ready to take yet another big step. 

As it was coming closer to christmas and the new year all I could think about was that christmas table and the food it was going to be packed with, but what I was thinking about the most as the time came closer to the new year was...

What things would I do?
What new people would I encounter?
How would I make my art brand more known?
When would I get involved with more things that are going to get me out there?
How could I change my lifestyle?
and most importantly, How would I change my WHOLE mind set?


There was clearly alot of things on my mind, I know. 

I will embrace this year like no other, pursue my dreams and hopefully inspire others. 

Thanks for passing by again.
