Arts and Crafts in Victoria

The weather got really crusty in Victoria for the long weekend. In avoidance of going outside we decided to do some stencil t-shirt making.

My goal was clear, after a complete fail at finding an “I Heart Canada” t-shirt I had to make one.

We had scoured all the tourist shops in Victoria, of which there are a lot; and had found none.

So here are the photos of the process of T-shirt stenciling.

Stencil stuck on the T-Shirt. I wish I could screen print weird shelf paper wood print.

I did a second one too… just in case.

I did this print as well, as I wanted to print some more stuff.
The middle picture is based on a portrait made for me by T’Nealle.
