CALLIGRAPHY COSTUME DESIGN DIGITAL EDITING LOGO DESIGN

This fabric painting resulted from a RECYCLING effort and grease spots that wouldn't come out. Sweatshirts are very comfortable to wear, but aren't considered dressy enough to wear to work -- UNLESS a little "style" is added. Simple geometric patterns or variations on simple leaves can dress up a plain sweat shirt. These have been through the wash many times. Permanent fabric paints and magic marker last a long time. Some are over 10 years old. The glitter paints can add even more fun.

Leaf Vine (green on green) Monochrome tones are subtler and can give a really classy look sometimes. A lot depends on the color of the sweatshirt and the personality of the wearer. Notice the grease spot on the dark green one [2nd leaf down on the right]? It's there, but almost looks like part of the design.

Flower Lace (on burgundy) With leafs & flowers going over shoulder. Higher contrast goes nicely with white blouse.

Flowers 1 (on light grey) This one I used both the fabric paints with black permanent magic markers overlaid.

Seagreen Aztec Subtle geometric on sea green using similar value tones. The glitter doesn't show up too well on these scans either but gives the pattern a nice subtle texture. Simple geometric patterns are easy to do and can camoflage any number of grease spots easily!

Aztec Diagonal (on lt grey) Uses all pastel tones and keeps the darkers colors to a minimum. Tilting it to an angle and feathering the edges gives it a little spontaneity and imperfection. Colors were chosen to work with the shirts known to be worn with this sweat shirt.
