Lots of chatting about profiles and images out there lately. This is a project that I did this past spring and wanted to share. I always seem a little ahead of the curve so that I did this last spring and NOW it's relavant is somewhat annoying, but alas, I am sure the t still fits.
Anyway - here's how I did it.
Took a profile pic of Birdie and dumped it into the computer. I use Print shop, but I am sure Photo shop directions are similar.
I converted it to black and white.
I played with the contrast until it the profile was black and the background was white. (or white-ish)
I then cropped it a little just to get rid of excess. The image is now ready to be used however you want.
In this case, I turned the color into hot pink and printed it on a transfer sheet and ironed it onto a tshirt. Tricks - I used my "canvas" effect and trimmed the transfer sheet right to the edge of the imprint to make it look more professional.
I also made some cute wall hangings ala Anna Maria Horner that she did on the Martha show. The T is the greatest and every time Birdie wears it, people rave about it, esp. when they realize it's her! So stinking cute!

Oh my goodness, so adorable!!!! You could sell those. I know two girl offspring who would love some [wink wink].
very sweet. My Mom has all of us (silhouettes) on a necklace along with all the grandkids...
We tease her and call her Mrs. T!
I love that idea!!
Hey! I came over from a link of a link - Love your blog! That t-shirt is ADORABLE! I have made some silhouettes for framing but hadn't thought of a t-shirt. I think I have another project for my "to-do" list!
