Default Experimenting with Vinyl (Black on Black)

Hi folks!
Lately I have been flirting with the idea of heat pressing black vinyl over a black shirt. The idea is that the design is not so obvious, but to create interest in people to take a beter look at my shirt. It is nice how light plays an interesting role with this one.
It also has Gold and Red vinyl.

It is a really nice effect. I used last night to a night club it I got many compliments!

Check it out




The idea was to criticize war. I hate war and all that it brings, so that is why there is a heart made out of guns, guns represent war and there is blood dripping from one gun wich represent suffering.

That is a nice design even though I don't like guns. The idea here is the two black are not the same so the image stands out. Lou

I really like it, the contrast of the two different materials is very cool. Good job

Bobbie

Black flock would look awesome or try some black reflective vinyl. It'll have a similar effect as what you've done... but when bright-light catches it or a flash it will have a bright glow. Maybe will add more effect to your message... the black heart is a downer... but the bright reflection may symbolize hope!

I love the design and concept. I'm not sure if we have the same stance on war/guns/ect... however I really apprecaite your depth of your design!

Very cool design...I love the look. It reminded me of this article that I read some time ago: Embroidery Article Details :: EmbroideryDesigns.com
