I've had these dark t-shirt transfers which I've been wanting to try out for a while now, so I took a picture of a pole dancer doing 'the inverted crucifix' reversed her colours, cut her out in the shape of an upside down cross and printed her out.
I am pretty impressed with these transfers, it's been a while since I've tried any of the iron-on t shirt stuff, it didn't used to be very good, but this is a whole different animal.
You print out your picture, cut it out, peel off the backing paper, which leaves you with something that feels like one of those window statics, then you cover it with the sheet of transfer paper and iron it on. Simple. It worked really well and the image looks good. It is definitely *on* the shirt, as in, it feels kind of rubbery and is clearly not a print. I have a feeling it will start to wear pretty quickly, though, and look like it's been on there for thirty years after a dozen washes. We shall see.
I used this tank from Urban Outfitters, took in the sides a bit because I had to order a medium and it was more of a 'relaxed fit' than expected, then I cut the arm holes bigger & edged them in black... I didn't have brown.
So, that's what I did this morning. Ok, on to the packing!
