my first stenciled tees!

[chromatograph]

Cut stencil from old plastic dividers, held down only using tape (and hands) so it bled a bit ): Mmhm, feedback?

Hello! Welcome to ThreadBanger! I've never done stencils, but I do like the shark on the white tee.

I'm sure someone else can give you tips to avoid the bleeding prob. (I donno.)

[chromatograph]

thank you :) haha someone told me to use spray on adhesive so eh I'd have to try that first. no freezer paper where I am ):

[pinoyblaze]

sweet shark stencil. Mind posting it up on the share-a-stencil thread (http://forum.threadbanger.com/showthread.php?t=228)?

[chromatograph]

actually I got it from stencilry > artwork > kurt halsey, if you're interested

[pinoyblaze]

oh okay ty :P

[chromatograph]

haha but thank goodness you can tell it's a shark. my mom said it was a whale and a friend said it was a digimon ):

[offhegoes03]

yeah, I could tell it was a shark. I really like that stencil, it came out nicely.

[Casmuffin]

Omg.. I too made a kurt stencil :p haha. You did a great job, but I don't get what's on the socks xD. I love his work!

[chromatograph]

its basically me trying out the eye bits, since the first one (on yellow) bled so i made it into the black eye haha. i ran out of old shirts so i used my SCHOOL SOCKS since I figured hell they'll never see the light anyway! then my mom tut tutted and let me stencil on her lavender shirt (looks white in pics)

[rexanimatrix]

That's cool. I'd definitely buy a can of stencil adhesive. It'll take away any bleed problems in a heartbeat!

awesome design !!!

[chromatograph]

blush, credit not to me. check page 1 for where i got it from : )

[glass__onion]

awesome.
plastic dividers?
oooooooh ive got to try that

[Nixxi_Chaos]

LOL a digimon..
I don't use acetate or freezer paper, just regular card stock (cuz I'm cheap) But what I've found helps is if you dab it instead of rolling it on. It takes a bit longer, but it's worth it, especially since sometimes you get some nifty effects..

I don't use acetate or freezer paper either. just plain white paper or plastic report covers.

Spray adhesive definately makes a difference.

[HollyHobby]

Yeah but don't use too much spray adhesive, i was getting frustrated that my stencils bled so I put too much on there and had to rip the stencil apart when I finished spray painting it, and the stencil took me 4+ hours to do so I was pretty pissed.

I need to make the stencil again now, since I really loved the design

looks like a cuddly shark. Is it sleeping?
