ExLibris: SPQR kids

like an angry Roman child of Camp Jupiter

here's the latest addition to my shirts: SPQR: Fulminata, white on black.

my son and his big tummy

possibly a new collection

here's a shirt a designed for my husband during the long weekend. we both like reading the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan and thoroughly enjoyed the new series Heroes of Olympus, with Son of Neptune being the latest and the inspiration of this shirt. i used white fabric pastels on a plain black shirt.

Senatus Populesque Romanus

he liked the shirt (of course he would!) but my husband told me that the shirt wasn't complete, it needed Fulminata (armed with lightning) as the mark of the Roman camp. shoot, how can i forget! while that might have been a slight folly, i need to experiment more on using white fabric pastel as i kind of melts in the fabric when pressed with an iron, giving the print a rather dull rendering. apart from that, i was spurred into making new prints on shirts based on books that i read. how does Ex Libris Collection sound?

new shirts

here are the shirts i have accomplished during the long weekend (yes! overdue!), modeled by my funny little boy. this is only the second time i've worked with textile paint, and i found it very hard to work with. looks like i have to research more on painting methods with this type of medium.

look out for these in my etsy shop soon. :)
