Skeletons Danse Macabre - Shirt - Transfer Failure - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

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.

"Skeletons Danse Macabre ("wdl")" - Shirt 8" x 8"

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

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 created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

Important Printing Notes:

Irfanview

To print it onto a fabric iron on transfer, it needs to be mirror image flipped:

File - Print

Set it to Landscape (NOT Portrait!!!)

Set Print size to Original size (from image DPI)

Set Position on paper to Centered

"Freaky Clown" - Postcard

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Freaky Circus Clowns".

Awhile ago, I found this freaky Pierrot clown image, so he seemed perfect for this. Any clown is scary, whether or not they are in a circus. I don't know why I don't like them, but I don't.
