Entry the twenty-fourth: In which I am gratified

If you read yesterday's post, you know what I did as soon as I was fully conscious this morning: run next door for stenciled onesies. (I might have put on my glasses and pet the cat a couple times before that, but that's it. Oh, and I took a vitamin. Vitamins are important.) After carefully pulling off all the stencils, I was quite pleased with the results. Mostly.

Here's the line up. The two at the top left (cheese and an unfinished sun) are still on the first stage. I will add another stencil and some paint today.



The pink mouse on the yellow cheese came out nicely. He still needs an eye.



And I love the sun and moon.



The navy onesie was a pain because it required three layers of paint, but I can't complain about the results. Maybe it's worth the extra trouble after all.

This is the only piece I'm not thrilled with.



Turns out the soft flannel-ish texture of these navy overalls doesn't play well with fabric paint. You can see that the paint leaked under the stencil in a few places. I might try daubing a little yellow paint on one of the "spills" to see if I can hide it. The other problem is the placement of the mouse on the cheese. I could have done a better job with that.

Overall, however, I'm quite pleased. I think these will be well received. Yay!
