Promised Picture

Here's the pic I promised. I finished the t-shirt and my friend most graciously agreed to model it for me! So, without further delay, here it is:

Happy day!

It's a happy day today! I have my first subscriber! YAY! Here I thought that nobody was reading my blog. Hehe! I don't have too much to write about today, unfortunately. However, I did do some very interesting things with my art. I won't go too much into detail, but I can now print my art onto fabric using my printer! It's a very awesome thing to see my art on a totally different medium! The process is very easy, it involves treating the fabric with a product called bubble jet set (for more info click here. ) Then I bond the fabric by ironing it to freezer paper. You do this so it becomes stiff like paper to go through the printer. Then I print, rinse, and dry the fabric! Eazy Peazy! I do have to say that the results are absolutely fantastic! So, by using this process, I no longer have to use something like iron-on transfers on the handbags I make! (Here's an info page that goes a little more into the particulars of the printing process, if you're so inclined.)This means my handbags will last much longer too. This is soooo exciting to me! It finally feels like things are coming together for me. I have enough designs for 5 or 6 handbags, my logo is finished and on fabric and soon I will be opening an Etsy store! And finally if you haven't been to Etsy I highly recommend it! You can find all sorts of hand made things to tickle your fancy. Oh and here's a pic of the finished results. Sorry the picture is sooo crappy, I took it on my cell phone.

(BTW, the yellowish color of the background is actually white, because of the lighting and cell phone. I couldn't take out all the discoloration with photoshop) I swear when I finish making the t-shirt, I'll post a pic of taken with a real camera. Feel free to comment if you wish...

Introductions

Hey all! Let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and I am a Male to Female Transsexual. (If you don't know what an MTF is or would like to know more about it click here.) I am an unemployed multimedia artist, so if you know anyone who needs an artist let me know! I started this blog to share my experiences moving through the world of the cisgendered, my art and business. Being that I'm unemployed, I've been focusing on that vital part of me that is my creativity. I have started my own designer label called "ROMANTICIDE" and combined my two greatest passions, handbags and art! I haven't actually gotten to the production stage yet but as soon as I do, I'll let y'all know! I'll be blogging about my experiences with that too! Watch out world! Here comes Jennifer!
