I’ve got 2 t-shirts that I was going to do something “arty” with for my sis-in-law, but the original plan got KiBoshed, and she said I could try an Acrylic Pour on ’em.
First, I did this TEST pour on one of my own t-shirts. (I did it as a 3-part Video on InstaGram if you want to watch it there – @chermckittrick .)
Things I Learned:
Do NOT wet the t-shirt first; I think this is making it bleed, but I won’t be sure till it dries.
It might be better to do it with the t-shirt laying flat, but that would mean I couldn’t have drips down the back.
Don’t use any orange, stick to pink, blue, yellow, and purple – the orange muddies some of the other colors.
These pics were taken minutes after the pour, so I have no idea what it’s going to dry like. I’ll let it set for 3-4 days, then throw it in the dryer, on high, to really set the colors.
Moe, does this make you want to change your mind??
The end result should be interesting!!!!!!!!!!
No, not really. I have total confidence in you and look forward to seeing the real deal. ..if you have time and interest.
Oh yeah, I love this project. I’m going to do another test on one of my t-shirts first, tho’
And here I thought you were making it for me….sis-in-law
Ha, yeah, I thought of that as I posted it. Want one??
Cool .. I think the dry shirt is the ticket and I think it looks rad .. very 60’s and very cool .. I agree with the orange making it muddy .. love to see the final product
What a great idea.
