I started stencilling clothing for my twin boys and husband (sometimes wonder if he would be better classified as another child) in the summer of 2006.
I can't say that I was all that good at it when I began, but I've stuck with it and have improved a great deal since that very first stencil (see Chuck Norris over there), if I do say so myself.
Friends and family began requesting I do stencils for them and before I knew it, my kitchen was covered with bottles of fabric paint, sponge paint brushes, and Xacto knives. I barely have time to stencil for myself anymore, but I don't mind; I love new stencil challenges.
This blog is intended as a record of sorts for my stencils (nearly a year after beginning on my stencilhappy journey). If you'd like a miniblisscakes stencilled shirt of your very own, please see the links to my online stores: eBay, etsy, and the flagship store: miniblisscakes.com.
My sister and my husband are both fans of the Evil Monkey from Family Guy. So I stencilled shirts for them. This is my husband's. My sister's was on a pink shirt.
My husband went to Mississippi State and is a rabid Bulldogs fan. They ring cowbells at football games (or used to, until the NCAA or SEC or someone banned cowbells from the games). The Dawgs aren't doing as great recently as they have other years, but still we keep hope alive here.
So I stencilled "I Need More Cowbell"* onto the front, and a silhouette of Bully (the mascot) onto the back of the shirt. Shirt is maroon and text is a silvery-gray, as State's colors are maroon and gray. Or maybe white, I can't exactly remember.
I've also stencilled this shirt for Betsy's husband, who also went to State, and for baby Harrison, whose Daddy went to State.
* yes, from the immortal skit on Saturday Night Live featuring Will Ferrell ringing a cowbell and Christopher Walken needing more of it.
