Thanks. This method has the cool feel I can appreciate. Not exactly a print, but still makes its own statement. I am DEFinitely doing this. Your thylacine is majestic, by the way.

Cool. I've been cutting out my stencils from cardstock but complicated ones with thin parts like to curl. I'll try next time with freezer paper. are the stencils reusable or a one time only deal?

[ZenThruCraft]

It's a one time deal.

Where does one find freezer paper?

[shane54]

i think its just wax paper... im not 100% sure but i guess wax paper

[ZenThruCraft]

No. 
If you use waxpaper it will get your iron all yuck. FREEZER paper has wax on one side and plain paper on the other. The box literally says FREEZER PAPER.

You can find freezer paper in the same aisle as the one that has the aluminum foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags and things like that.

Freezer paper can be found at your grocery store. Look in the section that has aluminum foil, plastic wrap, sandwich bags and the like.

Thank you!! ;)

Quilters and sewers use freezer paper a lot. This is a great use of it. I loved the big spots. I immediately thought of a constellation when I saw the shirt with the big spots. I like him floating in a star field. I'd make him your front first / display photo. The raven shirt comes out solid black on my monitors. I'd also zoom in on him. Do a crop of just him in the star field. He really looks great.

[ZenThruCraft]

i had actually been thinking that myself. so i went and changed it:)

[Lftndbt]

Hmm, Tasmanian tiger?

[SFHandyman]

That's what it is! Thank you, I was trying to remember. I knew I'd seen it before (that's why I kept saying "him").

 Technically a Thylacine. It is a very recognizable stencil though, I'm impressed!

[Lftndbt]

Oh, I was just taking a guess. I didn't think it was likely , due to the geographical region. Exinct mammal in a star field. Almost symbolic.

[SFHandyman]

That is touching. You made me say awwww.

[Lftndbt]

he he he. ;)

[ZenThruCraft]

yeah, tazzy tigers are my favorite animal.

[Lftndbt]

Yeah are cool arn't they? Where you from?

[ZenThruCraft]
