Today I cut out my stencil and painted it onto the T-shirt.

Cutting out my stencil was easy because I have already cut out a stencil in previous lessons so I knew what I was doing and could get on with it. Also working with two layers makes it easier because you know what letters to cut out and what not to cut out.

It was difficult cutting out the letters because the bridges were quite small so it was easy to slip and break the bridge. Also your hand started to hurt after a while from cutting out to many letters.

When painting the stencil onto the T-Shirt you had to dap it softly otherwise you would have a big sploge of paint underneath the stencil which would ruin your T-Shirt. So you had to be very careful when painting.

If I could do it again, I would make the words bigger and I would make the bridges bigger because it was very hard to cut them out without breaking them. Secondly I would have made the bridges on my Robot bigger because I broke them once or twice. And lastly I would of used a protective mat instead of a clipboard because the stencil kept slipping off the clipboard.

I would Of used less paint on my T-Shirt because I painted the right side of my Robots arm a little to much which lead to it being a tiny bit blurred, but other than that I would say its a job well done.
