Today I started printing some t-shirts using imagery from the film. I kept the same colour palette, and decided to try some foil effects to give a Steampunk inspired twist.
This is the t-shirt after the first print. I applied two colours using the same silk screen.
Next, I applied a black pigment to the waves at the bottom, and then printed the whole outline of the design with an adhesive for foil.
I finally ironed on some gold foil. I wanted to make the image look distressed and weatherworn, so I only used foil over some of the design and kept it very faint elsewhere.
This is the second t-shirt design, featuring Cranky lurking at the bottom of the sea.
While I was making the t-shirts, I took some photographs of my screens being washed and the colours left on the table after printing. Some beautiful textures again!
I especially love the second t-shirt, I think it is really pretty with all of the swirling designs. I hope you are having a lot of fun doing all of this stuff.
