I attended a "Monster Making" party last night hosted by one of my good friends. She had scoured the clearance section of craft supplies and come up with about 30 packs of iron-on monster kits for t-shirts. I started with this kit:
From there I thought I'd just make a cute girly monster--something I could wear on a casual Saturday. First I cut out the body from the sheet and ironed it on to my t-shirt. Then I went back to the drawing table to design the rest. Which eyes would I like? There are at least 6 options on this sheet alone, and I had access to maybe 30 sheets and 6 different designs. What would I do for hair? Did I want bows? Antennas? Which mouth would I use?
As I was designing and considering my many options, my friend mentioned that she would use more than one sheet and give her monster a front on the front of her shirt, and a back on the back of her shirt. I really loved that idea, but didn't want to be a total copycat--I wanted to think of something similar but not identical. What could I design that would be both opposites, but yet the same? Then it hit me, eureka! I would make the monster on the front of my shirt "good" and the monster on the back of my shirt "evil". I am quite pleased with the turn out. Here are my results:
