I got the shirts done on Monday, a perfect day to hang them in the sun to dry as I printed them. I am pretty happy with the results, though I had to order a darker blue shirt than I wanted. Also had to change the ink to a purple for those as the light blue didn't show up well. It was ambitious to print two colors with a blend for my first day back in the shop, but I managed. Guess I'm still a screenprinter.
Apparently my No ICE reference was too obtuse for everyone who has seen it so far. I'm sort of anti-Disney as well, but that's just an unpopular stance that no one wants to consider valid. Fine, whatever. The good thing about the Jell-O shirts is that they are only needed for one night, so if no one likes them, over the next few years they will sell at half-price and gradually go away. People want something to buy at the show, something I should capitalize on much more. I'm just not a good capitalist.
I've just been plugging along on the three or four main projects I still have to finish, and I'm sure I will get them finished, because I have to! I put the sticks on these banners today. I spent a ridiculous amount of time figuring out the colors and sequence of them and of course in this photo they are not even the true colors. I think they'll be great on stage though.
What about you? Working on your Jell-O piece, or still thinking about it? You still have ten days or so, but you had better do some experiments soon.
Message me by email at dianemcwho@gmail if you have questions. And remember, there is no bad Jell-O Art!
