Adorrrable! The hats are marvelous!

This is fantastic.

That is one fine-looking hat you've made. The colours are rad.

Thanks, Pink Zebra and K-Roc! K-Roc, you should totally do the covered-in-birds thing. Pretty, resourceful creatures with wings just aren't something you can regret

I've lurked for way too long; you all have gorgeous tattoos! I want to break the bank just idly scrolling through.

So, here are mine. I have to provide links, because I'm a craftster noob:

This is an american robin, which is an important bird to me for several reasons, including a rather traumatic childhood memory of watching (in despair) a magpie steal from a robin's nest...poor thing! It's on my left hip.

This one's, as you can see, on my right shoulder. In case you were wondering, birds are significant to me in general because they have the good sense to fly away when things are impossible (i.e. heading south for the winter). They represent this sort of ultimate freedom and ability to go wherever you want - wherever you need to be. I'm definitely someone who needs to fly away sometimes

You can't really see these ones in full because it's effing hard to photograph your arm, even if it's your left one These three hummingbirds were designed by my dear friend, who also designed the swallow on my shoulder.

Keep posting, friends, I love seeing all these lovely works of art!

Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to craftster, so please let me know if I'm making a posting faux-pas. I have a bunch of wonderful silk scarves that are totally rad and fairly big (one scarf = half the circumference of entire torso). I want to make a shirt out of them, but I am deathly afraid of ruining them. Has anyone done something similar? Does sewing silk require any special attention? Any ideas on how to construct a silk-friendly pattern?

I was thinking a t-shirt with puffy-ish sleeves. Any suggestions are extremely welcome!

It looks great. James Dean is a total babesicle and you honoured his hotness well. Rad.

Oh man, dinosaurs rule. And so does your stencil/shirt. Rock on.

That looks completely certifiably radical. I went to an awesome exhibit of Andy's work this summer (curated by David Croenenberg!!) and pretty much flipped because he is my favourite ever. They were selling awesome t-shirts in the gift shop for like $60. Yours kicks their collective t-shirt ass. Rock on.

Aww, this is kind of the best idea ever. Your tutorial is awesome; I am so going to make some of these for the people I dig.
