    Thanks! =)
    Haha I really thought i'd get all these people telling me just how cliche it really was..

    No, its not screenprinting, its just acrylic paint with some textile medium, and a stencil that I make and cut out
    Really easy stuff..

    Yeah, you buy the paint and the textile medium seperate, and they're both usually in the same kind of bottle.. It's just a clear paint type thing that makes it not as stiff and it wont really come off after alot of washes..

    Yeah.. I usually sell them to people here[in LA.] for $5, but thats only because I usually make them buy their own shirts.. Plus I'm saving up to buy an I-pod so i sorta upped the price..


    Do you think Ten dollars plus the shirt is too much? I'm wayy to generous with people and for some odd reason, this seems so bad..
    Haha

    I sold jewelry all summer, and I gave away so much. I know how you feel about charging, I just can't bring myself to do it!

    how about $10 and a hemp necklace, and of course I'll pay shipping for a make love not war t-shirt?

    PM me :)

    Yeah! Definitely. What do you use? I used to paint with my mom before I did shirts, and we had a ton of acrylic paint left over, so I just bought the textile medium and that saved a lot of money. But the textile medium makes all the difference...

    Paix, I really want to take you up on your offer. But as of right now, I'm punished, so I'll talk to my mom and see if she'll even let me. I'm gunna also need to get you a shirt, so depending on the shirt, I MIGHT have to charge a bit more, but I doubt it. I'll talk more when I can get on the computer again!
