. . . as I anxiously awaited the release of Soulemama’s new book, my crafting energy was high. Last Saturday the kids and I finally did the Freezer-paper Stencil project from her first book, The Creative Family. The kids chose their blank shirts, and gave me their ideas for the designs. It was obvious they didn’t fully understand the project, despite my efforts to explain it to them, until after the stencils were on the t-shirts and the fabric paint was being applied. When they figured it out they got really excited and we’re all looking forward to doing the project again sometime soon.
Jonny chose a Goblin Shark, and Aveline a friendly mermaid. Hers was painted with a shimmery fabric paint, so it shows up better in the next photo.

That looks like a fun and somewhat simple project, even for the mom with little artistic ability. Elijah and Luke want to attempt it. I will let you know how it goes.
Okay, looking further into it, nevermind! But, we love your work. I especially love the portrait bookmarks for the family. Maybe we will attempt it ONE day.
What!? Why? Come here and do it, I have everything needed, an exacto knife, freezer paper, an iron, and the fabric paint. I can have it all ready, just bring blank t-shirts over one day and we’ll all do it together. You and I can come up with a cute bird design for our stuff!
