AngellWraith When did I learn to disappear?
I am a wraith and silent
And I've forgotten how to be here
Now that I want to be seen

Slipping through my grasp
I'm trying to hold on to me
To stay and to be real
To be seen and to show you
I am more than imagination

A legacy of words unsaid
My whispers on the air
And you saw me slip away
Submit Lazy circles
Turning
Warping
Distorting

Thoughts turned inward
Burning
Needling
Torturing

No rest
No respite
No relief
From the person
I became

As an afternoon project, I decided to make a top that I could wear to Roller Derby bouts. Last Christmas, my mum thought I would like some cheap fabric pens (bless her, I can't fathom why she thought it was a good idea, but I finally came up with something to do with them).

The top features the slogan "get hurt in a skirt" from a sticker that I bought at a merch stand when I was at a derby bout; and a skate with a heart on the side.

I went through all the fonts on my computer (I like fonts, so I have a growing collection), but decided that the stencil font matched the text (and application) best. So I copied down the phrase to make a... well, a stencil. Image: [link]

I cut out the stencil with a craft knife, making a glorious mess by smudging pencil everywhere - including on my white desk. Image: [link]

I used the stencil and the fabric pen to get the shape of the letters right. I decided that I liked the look of filling in the R and A completely, and I really like the almost "sketchy" home-made look. As the singlet top is stretchy, it was a bit hard to use what is essentially a felt-tip pen, I had to keep stretching the fabric to colour it in.

The skate is copied (and embellished upon) from some random clip art I found using a google search, I felt that just the text was a tad boring, and it needed something to make it look less like a slogan slapped carelessly on a shirt.

I've decided to keep the stencil, I'm thinking of transferring it onto a sheet of plastic (more cutting out! hooray!) so I have a long-lasting stencil I can use to make more shirts.
