This picture was the most difficult thing to draw for me purely because i had to pause and contemplate my life choices every 2 seconds and also i couldn’t stop giggling

so @tjhfg asked me about my stenciled shirts so i'm going to make a hopefully coherent text post about it with no pictures. (sorry maybe i'll take some next time i do one) this is a method i kindasorta learned from rookie magazine but heavily modified in my mad late night crafting adventures.

alright you get a shirt. or any piece of fabric or really anything that paint will stick to.

you get some paint, actual fabric paint works best but regular acrylic will work too especially if you don't have to wash it that often (like a jacket.)

and you find an image on the internet and you print it out at the size you want. if you don't have access to a printer you can make the image the size you want on your computer/phone screen, turn the brightness all the way up, stick paper over the screen and trace it. you can also forgo the computer and just use a picture from a magazine or any other paper thing you're willing to cut up. images with clear shapes or high-contrast black and white are easiest. you can use an image editing program like photoshop to convert your image to 1-bit which makes there be only two colors black and white.

you cut it out. cut out everywhere you want the paint to go and leave paper where you don't want the paint to go. an x-acto knife is probably best but mine is wrecked so i've been using a pocketknife which works fine. bigger/less complicated designs can be done with scissors pretty easily. the hardest part is making sure it's all in one piece so it doesn't fall apart. it gets more intuitive with practice. you can leave little paper bridges to connect shapes and then fill those spaces in with a paintbrush later. if this isn't making sense just do your best and if it falls apart you can tape it back together (i'll use masking tape because it's like paper) and try again.

now it's time to make a judgment call which is: is your design complicated enough that you need to glue the paper to the fabric to prevent the paint from bleeding? the downside of this is it will probably take a couple washes to get all the paper bits unstuck from the fabric after you paint it. i made a bowie shirt with a lot of complicated zigzags (that man has some HAIR) over a month ago and it still has paper bits on it but it looks great anyway so i dont care. i think if you're a beginner you should probably play it safe and use glue. use regular white glue and put it all over the paper (the back, if it matters) but especially over the complicated parts. be careful not to put too much because the paper might fall apart if it gets too wet.

stick it to the shirt/jacket/whatever. choose wisely because you should NOT try to move it it will rip.

i'll go back a second and mention there is a more time-consuming but less haphazard way to do the sticking, which is to use sticky paper. i got a bunch of the stuff at a reuse/upcycling store, i have no idea what the official name is i think it was for laminating shelves or something. i just call it sticky paper. the way i did it was tape the regular paper onto the sticky paper (with clear tape this time so you can see what you're doing) and cut through the tape, through the sticky paper, following the outline of the thing you already cut out of the regular paper. it was really hard to cut and that's why i only did it once. it's easier to stick it to the shirt though and you don't have to worry so much about it falling apart if you try to move it.

if you opted not to use glue. either tape the edges of the paper to the shirt so it doesn't move while you're painting it, or just put stuff on it. my most recent one i held it in place with containers of paint. it's very possible that since i've had a fair amount of practice at this i'm overestimating how haphazard one can be as a beginner without wrecking it, so i suppose stay on the safe side if you've never done this before.

you don't really have to wait for the glue to dry, just make sure nothing's going to move. now you get your paint and fill in everything. paint off the edge of the paper, inwards toward the fabric. if you paint toward the paper the paint will be more likely to get under the paper. (i really hope this makes sense without pictures. you'll figure it out when you try it i think.) if you have a sponge brush then probably use it. the main idea is kind of press the paint down instead of doing big old side-to-side things like you would if you were painting a painting. long story short i guess be careful. make sure you get everything and maybe use a smaller brush for smaller details.

if you didn't use glue or if you used sticky paper you don't really have to wait for the paint to dry either but to play it safe you probably should. if you used glue then definitely wait till everything is fully dry before taking off the paper.

you probably won't be able to get the glued-on paper off of the fabric by just pulling it. you should get some rags or washcloths and soak the paper and scrub it off. be gentle so you don't mess up the paint. remember what i said about the paper bits. they will be there. they go away.

now if you have any weird lines left from making paper bridges you fill them in with a paintbrush. let that dry and now you have a wonderful stenciled thing! add whatever to it! i have glitter paint, i like glitter paint. i've been experimenting with multiple stencils, one for each color (another upside to not using glue is you can do multiple in quick succession just make sure the paint's dry enough that it's not going to stick to the paper). this has been a public service announcement on my own way of doing stencils. there are a lot of ways. maybe i will take some pictures remake this post with illustrations but right now? i want to go to bed

I RECENTLY POSTED A WEBCOMIC !!!

I was going to publish it on here, and i might, but that takes some cutting of the webcomic to make it fit tumblr's format, which might take a while. I would appreciate it if you guys checked it out, at the very least. If not, thats totally fine! have a great day !!

[completewannabe]

hey hello genuine question

um i know there is a high probability no one will see this post because i am a very small account but if you do please respond

how do people publish their writing?? i have a whole bunch of stuff bouncing around in my head and it’s been rushing out in bursts over the years. i have a lot of written-down content now and i feel confident enough to share it but uh

how do people actually…do the whole “i’m going to put myself out there and let people see this” thing??? please help

i would try something like ao3 or wattpad to start with but i doubt i’d get the kind of traction i need to publish anything For Realsies which is my goal

so if anyone sees this as i send it into the void please let me know what you think

thank you very cordially!!
