"You're waiting for a train..."

Yeah, so. Inception has totally taken over my brain and invaded my crafting time. So this happened.

  

There's probably too many ideas on here for one t-shirt really. If I decide to make any shirts for my shop I'll probably only put one or two on, rather than all six.

I may not actually be able to put Ellen Page in my pocket, but I can put Ariadne's totem on my pocket.

 

A brief sidenote about having succumbed to fanon regarding Eames's totem being a poker chip: whilst away visiting family in August, in my first flush of omigodinceptionisthecoolestthingever-itis I found a long abandoned blue poker chip under a chair. Since picking it up I have not let anyone touch it, and when we got back I carved some notches and marks into it. This is crazy-fan behaviour, even for me - on the whole, I am not a superstitious person. But for some reason I have clung to this poker chip like it is the most precious thing ever. So when fandom decided the poker chip was Eames's totem I was more than happy to play along. 

 

And here's the back of the shirt:

 

 

You get two pictures of this bit as I'm rather proud of it. Apparently I'm very into typography this month, as well as obsessing over Inception.

 

I'm nearly done adding "darling" to the specificity t-shirt, along with another couple of definition shirts which I ought to post soon.

ahhhh, I love all the stuff you make!

Clearly you have fantastic taste, m'dear!

The typography on the back is gorgeous gorgeous.

Why thank you! It's def my favourite bit. I wish I could train myself to write like that all the time. Everything would look so pretty!

This is so, so beautiful. If I weren't so closeted about my crazy-fan status I would definitely buy something like that. I especially love the minimal use of color, and the lettering on the back. :)

But that's the most fun thing about the t-shirts I make (well, the ones I keep for me anyway) - most people I encounter while wearing them don't recognise a single thing on 'em. But those who do comment on them are clearly crazy-geeker types just like me. So it's win-win!

But anyhow, thank you!

Your shirt ships my ship. Lol.

The typography is so nice and cleanly done.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

That is totally and utterly coincidental. *shuffles away, attempting to whistle innocently, pretends to have no shipping alliances whatsoever* Ahem. Ta!

A-MAZING AGAIN! What kind of medium do you use for your fabric crafting? Seeing all your awesome work is 1) making me jealous and 2) getting me super inspired! I have to create something this weekend, methinks. ;D

Thank you again, bb! I am a use-whatever-the-hell-is-available kind of person most of the time. This particular shirt got made with Setacolor fabric paints for all the totems and a Deka TwinPen fabric pen for the writing on the back, but after the specificity shirt I think I am transfering my typography allegiances to fabric paint and a cocktail stick - so much finer and more controlable.

And yay - get your creativity on!

(Also, I am lolling at your icon - strutting!Leo is never going to be unfunny.)
