Skeletons Danse Macabre - Shirt - Transfer Failure - Photograph

I took that photograph of the transfer failure result when I used an inkjet fabric transfers paper to iron my "Skeletons Danse Macabre" shirt design onto a 100% cotton black shirt. I know I have used that transfer paper successfully in the past, but I didn't recall how I did it, and the instructions were unclear about how long to iron for / when to remove the paper backing. So as I pulled up the paper backing, part of the ink remained adhered to the paper, which tore off of the shirt. Thus ends my attempts to make my own shirt designs. The juice ain't worth the squeeze, especially with the cost of everything skyrocketing due to inflation.

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Dancers".

A close friend of mine had sent me a photo of a Halloween shirt with witches dancing on it, which inspired me to make my own shirt design, an 8" by 8" image that I will print onto 8.5 x 11 inches inkjet fabric transfers paper, to iron onto a black shirt. (My dancing witches design is still in progress, because as usually happens with me, one thing led to another, and I saw a movie that showed two Medieval images that I wanted to use: one for the witches, and this one with the skeletons.)

I cannot tell you how it was;
But this I know: it came to pass
Upon a bright and breezy day
When May was young; ah, pleasant May!

I cannot tell you what it was;
But this I know: it did but pass.
It passed away with sunny May,
With all sweet things it passed away,
And left me old, and cold, and grey.

May (by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894))

Dance just one more time
