Raven House Project Day 2

Lots to do today!  Yesterday, with the help of my husband, I was able to get the layout for the shirt figured out.  You can see a picture of the rough layout to the right.  I think it is going to look really great.  I chose the font Batik Regular for the quote.  I like the faded look that it has.  My husband liked the large raven.  It is a bit bold.  It kind of reminds me of American Eagle shirts.  My plan is to dye the shirt a medium to dark blue, use a discharge paste to screen on the quote and the swirls, and then redye the shirt a light blue and print the raven in black.  I have never tried using the discharge paste and then redying so I'm going to do a little experimenting today.  I have a lot to do actually.  I need to do at least one dye bath, coat some screens to prep for exposure, and I need to make my image transparencies.  I guess it is time to get to work.
