I\u2019ve been using it on fabric and encaustic collage and enjoying the layered results. So when my son wanted to design some t-shirts he was inspired by what I\u2019ve been doing to try spray paint and stencils. He leafed through his sketchbook and found some bold images that would work great. Then he cut his stencils using a heat pen on clear acetate and was ready to spray. All summer he has been spraying and making cool stuff using his designs layered over some pattern stencils from my stash. For his birthday all he wanted was to have some friends over and have a t-shirt spraying party! I love that I could share the creative process with him and I\u2019m blessed that I got to watch and learn as he tried different color and pattern combinations &#8211; inspiration coming back at me. Pretty soon my demi-adult will be back at college diving into his visual studies major- WOW \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to see where the inspiration goes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those of you who have been watching my blog know that I have been loving the spray paint these days!
