While today's cleaning my room, I found not-that-old-but-still-forgotten-THING. I don't even know how to call it.
I made it as a part of my cosplay costume. It's a part of Auror's outfit, which is basically made for holding elixirs nearby a hand. It has already been worn and I must say it's surprisingly comfortable. Although I had it on me only once and it wasn't the time I made it for (meaning - LARPG which I host so I HAVE TO have badass costume ;D).
I didn't take a lot of time to make. The only delay I had was for buying a missing buckle and still, it only took one day. Not bad, huh?
I'm back in the game! I made today 3 t-shirts (DAMN!) and they are already out for sale!
Check it HERE.

I) Yep, again this one. Let's say it's a close up.
Alexander McQueen was basically the only designer I knew and loved each and every collection he made. (to be clear - BEFORE he died.)
Idea isn't mine, only project is. The first t-shirt made in new way, without stencil.
II) My tribute for Kat von D, excellent tattoo artist. My favourite.
OK, I'M OBSESSED WITH HER! Kat's works are just unbelieveble. Pieces of art on skins. She makes me want to become tattoo artist as well, even though it's highly unlikely to happen.
Picture was found somewhere in the depths of the Internet.
III) Aaand, my today's work - another Doctor Who!
I found this pic on tumblr and in the same second decided I will put it on my t-shirt.
While making it, I started to think if David Tennant would like it (don't say anything. just... do NOT.). 'how awsome would it be to see him in mine stuff walking across a street or whatever, caught in a picture by some nasty paparazzi. damn, I would be so proud!'.
You can laugh at me, but I'm seriously thinking about making one and sending it with a letter to him. I mean, each actor recives lots of letters from fans and their office or whatever-it-is replies simply with an autograph. Why not try?

Finally a title!
A few people know that I started my adventure with designing clothes with simple t-shirts. I'm doing this for a 4 years now (JESUS! O.O).
Brace yourself. Long post is coming.
[I will start with the oldest; descriptions go for each picture starting from left]
I) It's the second t-shirt I made (first is probably given away already. Why? only two words - MY MOM). It's not pretty, back isn't very well designed, but I have a bit sentiment for it. I have no idea why. It's probably the same reason I won't throw away my old teddy bears. I started cutting my clothes from t-shirts (oh, dear Kat von D's tutorial, I still remember you, word by word...), I was learning how to do it properly on them and, damn, they are somehow part of my portfolio!
This one stayes with me!
II) The thing I like about t-shirts is how much you can say through them. Sometimes you can 'wink' to your friends, give them an inside joke - like this one...
III) ... play with people minds...
[Actually, I came up
with this project while I was fighting this annoying advertisement
testing your brain with circles and squars etc. Apparently, you can find
inspiration literally EVERYWHERE]
IV) ... make people smile...
[when you're 1.80 tall and call yourself 'a hobbit']
V) ... and, my favourite, show your interests. It's priceless when you
see a person in subway, reading your t-shirt and then smiling. You smile
back and suddenly feel bond with this stranger. Magical. Even if he or
she later walk away.
I think I don't need to explain
much under this t-shirt. Doctor who. 10th doctor played by amazing, one
and only, David Tennant. <3
VI) This one is a little experiment. As all t-shirts above and under this
one are painted, this one is PRINTED. The only work I did here was
designing the logo which you can find here.
If you still don't know what it is about, here's a little help.
There
was only one person who knew what Holyhead Harpies were, only one in my
school. As soon as th guy asked 'is it a quidditch team' I wanted to
give him a suprise hug. It's really rare to meet people who read and
actually PAY ATTENTION what they read. I wish I could meet more of them.
VII) What time is it?
ADVENTURE TIME!...
VIII) ...Cartoon I'm obsessed with lately. It's so weird and inappropriate for
kids that you start to wonder how is it possible that they let something
like this play on cartoon network. Sometimes it really freaks me out...
I just love it. <3
[the design of blue t-shirt isn't mine. I googled it ^^]
IX) Not much to say here. I made the text without sample, cutting was wild and crazy... I just love this one. It's so... ME.
In the end, I wanted to thank my sweet model, Donna, who was my dear companion for a year now. :)

The easiest thing to make to give your wardrobe something handmade - a painted t-shirt.
There are plenty of DIY videos on youtube so you can see with your own eyes it's not difficult at all. And once you make your t-shirt, you'll find out that there are no borders! Freestyle is highly recommended! Show your intrests and talents on simple piece of cotton (with addition of elastane, if needed).
Pure fun.
