Adventures in T-shirt land:from the workbench

I recently sent out an order to the owner of ISLAND GIRL in Catalina, California. I hope she loves her shirts and they sell well in her store.

I sent her 15 of these, three in each size, and matching arm warmers.

I also thought this would be an awesome Item for her next order:

My thought was that the wings would actually be in burn out, not silver and the shirt would be a light blue. It isn't a totally random suggestion, she has expressed interest both in wings and in the skully heart design.

I am hoping to also get another new wholesale account, it is for a store that specializes in Roller Derby merchandise! I think it would be really fun!

This is my new design of the week, both are brand new screens. The skully heart art is not new, just the screen. This screen is a little smaller than the other one and the colors are inverted.... Right now I have a bunch of screens I want to burn.

I want to do a smaller set of wings for onesies and children's shirts, as well as some text to go on the front. I also want to reburn a few screens that have very fine lines and are hard to print. I think I should invert more designs, especially some of the ones with VERY fine lines, like my revolver screen, and for new art I plan on drawing a dinosaur. lately that has seemed very important.

and something else that is VERY VERY IMPORTANT:

Pictures of my lovely daughter Autumn. She is turning 2 this weekend!

I promised her she could watch a cartoon or two if she let me finish this post, so I guess it is time to turn the computer over to her for a little while... besides, I have 8 dresses that are VERY quickly approaching deadlines.

See you soon!

Coming Soon To Caustic threads...

Good morning! I have to say I am pretty chipper for a Monday morning, especially since I stayed up late doing etsy work and had to get up early to go in to my day job earlier than usual.

It may be because I am excited about a few new items that I will be listing in my www.causticthreads.etsy.com store some time this week along with the other shirts I printed this weekend.

1.VENDOR APRONS

]
I got three of these great little vendor aprons. I was already thinking about sewing something like this but I hadn't gotten around to it, and I found these for a great price. This is one of the ones I printed. Another one is a skate themed apron and I haven't decided if I want to sell it or keep it. I have not done a craft fair yet, but I have been considering it. Besides, these are even useful to wear around the house when one is doing etsy work. I can just stick the things I am always searching for in my pockets instead of driving myself crazy wondering where I put the scissors or the ribbon. I also have one more that I have not printed yet.

2.TOTE BAGS


I also got three of these lightweight "canvas" totes. The tag said canvas but they are really more like muslin. They are not especially big but they would work very well as a reusable shopping bag, or beach bag. One could also keep their crafting supplies like yarn and crochet hooks in one. It is a great place to keep current projects. I also got some thicker canvas totes. One is printed, one got ruined becaust the thick twill collects ink and spreads like a wildfire. One is not printed yet, and I think I have figured out a way to use it without having the issues I had wit the other two.



I also will be introducing some new screen designs. :)

Have a great day!
