Title: Tshirt stenciling gathering #3 April 18th
Post by: j9isawesome on March 17, 2009, 09:17:10 AM
It's official fanime forum tradition to have a tshirt stenciling gathering at Jerry's house each year. We'll hang out, paint shirts, have good times. If you have no clue how to stencil, don't worry we're here to help and will provide basic supplies. Of course, you're also welcome to bring video games and board games as usual. :)

Where: Jerry's house
When: April 18th
Time: 4pm

What we'll be providing: Freezer paper, exacto knives, basic paint colors, sponge brushes, an iron, a hair dryer and directions on how to make freezer paper stencils.

What you need to bring:
*A tshirt (or anything that's made up of fabric, like a tote bag or pair of jeans) to paint.  Keep in mind light colored shirts, especially white, are easiest to paint, with dark colored shirts you'll have to do multiple coats of paint.
*An idea of what you want to stencil. If you can draw great, if you can't then the best thing would be to print out a stencil design (just onto regular printer paper) and bring it with you.
*If you plan on painting something HUGE or need very specific colors then you might want to bring your own paint.
*If you want to bring video or board games to play after shirts are done or food to share that would be awesome but you don't have to. An extra iron or two would be cool too, that way people don't have to wait as long.

What type of paints to buy if you're going to bring your own paint: http://www.kittybuttons.com/tutorials/paint%20options.jpg
If you can find it (sometimes at Michael's, should be at most art supply stores), Jacquard is what I use: http://cdn.dickblick.com/items/012/08/01208-OA3ww-l.jpg

There's lots of places to find stencils online, but this one is still one of my favorites: http://www.kittybuttons.com/stencils/categories/index.html

Or you too could join the fanimafia and make one of these bad boys: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/j9isawesome/fanimestencils2.jpg

If anyone needs to be picked up from the BART station please let me know. I can give 3 people a ride from BART if needed.

When: Probably April 18th (this is not set in stone yet, still need to make sure I can get the day off work)

Gulp. If it lands on that day, I'm willing to ditch DisneyLand for this. The gathering IS that much fun for me. I also promised a teacher that I would make a shirt for her, and I wanna keep my promise.
Is there an easier/faster way for me to carve in the letters I wanna spell? Writing words takes me forever, indeed. And I wanna make two shirts this year.
Put me down as a maybe.

Make them ahead of time with freezer paper and a thick sharpie? Then, you could just cut them out with an x-acto (either before or at gathering) and iron and paint at gathering.

I'll still have to eventually meet up with j9, and help sponser this event [i help j9 punch economy in the face]

this year I promise [on my rest in peach parents' graves] that I will finance this gathering this time around.

so I'll need to goto an artsy place with j9 to buy the necessary items. and as well as the snack goodness to keep my guest properly fed and thirsts quenched as ppl hang out at the house.

so J9 please pm me here or AIM to work out random details of when to meet up with you after work one of these days so we may quest for the arting supplies needed. I'll bring the Credit Card KA-ching! :D

oh and still i remind me to get you and mr.j9isawesome that gift before u guys make that trip! ;)

whether its a small gathering or not, i just want ppl to have fun where ever they may end up.

i like giving ppl choices and a chance to hang out with friends and paint each other or preferably their tshirts and be all creativy and stuff.

wootz. :)

IMO, food is always good and pancakes are even vegetarian. ;) I doubt jerry would mind as long as you dont burn down the house and clean up when you're done.

as an update - J9 and I will probably be out questing for art-ting supplies for the Tshirt gathering.

which im guessing means fabric paints, freezer paper and um, other related art supplies.

maybe a costco run before the gathering so you ppl dont starve to death since i rarely feed myself [let alone feed my roommates] :P

if you have any request please say so um. SOON or just bring your own tshirts and some supplies of your own if u want.

but we'll hopefully have plenty of art goo to go around.


J9 so we're pretty much almost 100% confirmed for April 18th? [saturday] ?

um because Ironically ive booked my home to house a different meeting*cough* party for the Rovers on the 19th.

my house mates are gonna hate me that weekend. >_<
Title: Re: Tshirt stenciling gathering #3
Post by: Barnes on March 27, 2009, 03:10:58 PM
I'll be bringing in my own:
-foam brushes
-t-shirts
-a knife

That much I know for sure. I also need to look into getting freezer paper.
I'll get back to you later.

Post by: j9isawesome on March 27, 2009, 06:42:03 PM
For sure the 18th! :) We'll pick up paint, brushes, knives, freezer paper. Peeps will just need to bring their own shirts (or whatever they want to paint)

Sure thing. I should have space for at least 2 more people in my car if anyone else needs to be picked up from BART.

Yep, looks like good stuff. I'm sure those iron on letters will be a lot easier than stenciling words. Words are always the biggest pain to stencil. :)

If that's the case, then I'll try this way: For one shirt, I'll do the carving thing. But for the other, I'll use the letters that I got, just to be sure. Thanks.  :)

Just a random thought [not that i want to cancel this event or anything]

but it seems like the turnout is going to be low- looking at all the competition for CBF and other conventions events in the month of April...

whoda thunk? :P

j9 ? since you have the suppplies, would you be willing to post pone this event til After Fanime?

just a thought.

that plus my house will be LESS dangerous by then...

my roommates have gone into COSPLAY overdrive and lets just say its a mess in here [my home] >_<

any other 2 or 3 cents out there? :P

It's your house, so if that's what you want then that's fine. No clue when I'd be able to do it though. June weekend off is my birthday and I think we're moving in July. I can always drop the supplies off at your place and you guys can do it without me if finding a good weekend we can all do it together isn't working out. Over half of the group already knows how to do it anyway and I can leave printed out instructions for the other half...

Be decisive. If you want to reschedule it then do so. My only concern is that there isn't really anything else going on the 18th. The big CBF day that everyone is going to is on the 19th. So maybe people just don't want to paint shirts anymore? I'm just wondering if we rescheduled it would we even get more people that would be interested.

Barnes, are you still able to switch back to going to Disneyland with your family? I'd feel awful if you canceled your vacation plans for nothing. :(

I see. Well it's always called freezer paper, nothing else. It's usually at the grocery store in the same area as wax paper and ziplock bags.

I understand about needing to save money and if you'd rather go to the CBF of course there will be no hard feelings. I just don't understand how this gathering would be expensive. Jerry and I already bought everything- food, drinks, crafting supplies. All you'd need to pay for is a $10 BART ticket and bring an old shirt to paint. I am really sorry to hear that you won't be able to affoard to attend Fanime this year :(

So does no one else need a ride from BART? Just want to make sure I don't leave anyone stranded.

Jerry~ what time did you want to start this thing? I just realized we don't have a time listed for people to head over.

I'm guessing anytime after 4pm? ppl are welcome to show up earlier. assuming my roommates will clean up the place [which they wont] they way things looking here.

again small or big im just focused on having fun, hanging out and making a cool image on my shirt, if i could ever figure out what i want besides a new fanimafia shirt.

that or we'll just hang out, play video games, watch movies, snack and just chill at the house.

my house is all versitle like that. :D

Of course, everyone is welcome and you're already on the guest list :)

You don't need to buy freezer paper, we already bought something like 100 yards of it. HAPPY BDAY! The cake is now officially bday cake for Barnes.

I'd like to carve the words in advance is all. And thanks. XD Chocolate!
I see. Well it's always called freezer paper, nothing else. It's usually at the grocery store in the same area as wax paper and ziplock bags.

this might sound bad...but I may have to bail on this gathering because like I have stated Money is super tight with me (I have to even sacrifice fanime) and well I might go to cbf instead (free muni pass) and not buy anything

; ; sorry

tis a shame you cant make it.

yes, i admit this gathering will be scaled down due to economic times and competing against CBF which i guess its a relatively 'cheap' event gathering since its well... *free* to go and check out the festivities.

Technically all my gatherings are *free* as well... getting here though...

thats the tuff part. :P

times are tuff too, i paid all my bills and ill be poor til about 2 weeks works of pay check :P

I bought some freezer paper anyway today. Gotta show the design to someone before I carve it. "Deckard Is a Replicant" it will say, in contrast to my shirt.
Have fun at DisneyLand mom!  :)

One more thing, I may very well need a ride home. Anybody? EDIT: I forgot to say please.
See ya next week.

The point of painting your own designs onto tshirts is so you can be proud you did it yourself, save money and have a unique shirt with a picture or phrase that you can't just go over to Target and buy.
The point of a gathering is to hang out with people with simular interests and have a good time.

I'm sorry, I forget that not everyone knows where Jerry's place is, since we have gatherings there so often. It's over by Eastridge Mall in San Jose. If you're sure you'll be attending I'd be happy to PM his actual address to you so you can mapquest it.

Well I hope you can make it. Yep, Fremont is as close as BART comes to San Jose. Oooh, unless you happen to live by the SF Caltrain station? Because that goes straight to San Jose. http://www.caltrain.com/caltrain_map.html It's ok if you don't, I can still drive out to Fremont.

Barnes~ you live over by Nickle City right? That's not too terribly far out of the way, I can give you a ride too if you still need it.

Thanks for the exclamation. I feel less confused now.

Further questions:
1. What do I bring? A shirt?
2. So how do I make words on the shirt and the drawing?

What we'll be providing: Freezer paper, exacto knives, basic paint colors, sponge brushes, an iron, a hair dryer and directions on how to make freezer paper stencils.

What you need to bring:
*A tshirt (or anything that's made up of fabric, like a tote bag or pair of jeans) to paint.  Keep in mind light colored shirts, especially white, are easiest to paint, with dark colored shirts you'll have to do multiple coats of paint.
*An idea of what you want to stencil. If you can draw great, if you can't then the best thing would be to print out a stencil design (just onto regular printer paper) and bring it with you.

2. Yoiu'll cut out your words and or picture from freezer paper with an exacto knife,  iron it onto your shirt, cover it with paint, remove freezer paper and you're done. We'll have more complete instructions at the gathering.

for the most part this will be a small and quieter gathering which im totally okay with.

once we're done with our shirts dont forget i have tones of video games, anime, and movies we could all watch and laugh at.
We stil have Sarah's Raving Rabbits TV game, but we're missing some wii motes or chucks so i may need help with that.

if possible could anyone help out with that [ though keep track of your accessories since wii motes and chucks look all the same ] :P

and yes there will also be beverages for those who enjoy green colored drinks, but we have to make sure we put away the xacto knives and paint just in case a few girls *cough cough* decide to dose each other with water bottles...

oh hai Jeanine, should i have a towel, and extra clothes on standby? ;)

anyway i also want to mention that I'll be on a personal errands saturday morning but I will be back by 4pm.
so if anyone wants to stop before BEFORE 4pm please call or text me.

otherwise my roommates may chase you away from my place :P

Ironically this was a pretty successful gathering.

hey J9 any 'normal' pictures your planning on posting?

Thanks again to everyone who made it.

I expected like 5 ppl to who and somehow i still got almost 15 ppl to show up, eat, snack, game and make Tshirts.

the most epic short of the night?

Surprise Guest Kava [ she's the department head from Panels ] that made a G.I.R shirt [ from invader zim ] with him dancing and glow in the dark words that say " Doom De Da Doom Doom Doom ! " shirt.

freaking great!

so there's always next year ppl!  ;D
