***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 2

Just back from Rite Aid.
T-shirts 5/$10.00 on sale.
They are 100% cotton.
Very poor quality.
Thin I wouldn't use them.
They are the cheap kind you wash 1 time & they are all out of shape.

Did check out Michael's.
T-shirts $2.99 each on sale.
They are 50/50 cotton polyester.
Heavy weight Jerzees.

I'm thinking of using these.
Paper says to use 100% cotton.
Will it be Ok to use a 50/50?
I have enough paper to do 4 more designs.

Aarrgh!!!! I have spent days reading this thread trying to catch up. It was around 200 pages when I started and is over 280 now that I have finally finished! AND now it morphs into an entire BOARD?!?! Aarrgh!

Kudos to all those who have posted designs - they are all fantastic. Now, I just need to get started on my own!

Just a few thoughts that I have been holding onto as I read the whole thing...

1. For those going in early December - from over 10 years of visiting WDW the 1st weekend of December - most of the time the weather is gorgeous. Maybe a little cool in the evening and early morning, but a little layering works great. HOWEVER, there was that year that it was well below freezing! The orange groves all froze and Disney gardeners were frantically replacing plants in the parks. We were very grateful for our long pants, jackets and even scarves & mittens that year. Assume the weather will be nice, but then pack one warm outfit "just in case"!
   
2. There hasn't been much said about Paint Shop Pro. This is certainly another alternative for this type of design. It is very similar to Photoshop and has most of the same features. Although most professional graphics folks normally use Photoshop, a lot of "prosumer" graphics people use Paint Shop Pro since it has most of the same features and costs less. I have been using it for years for photo editing and recently started using it for digital scrapbooking. Just wanted to mention it for those who are still choosing which program to use....

Once again - great job on the designs everyone! This thread is the internet at its best!!!!!!!

OK guys! I've actually been checking this thread several times a day from the beginning and I'm still confused!! Is this thread being done away with totally and split into several different threads? And what is this about a tip threads? Can someone please take the time to explain exactly what is happening so this DENSE diser can feel like she has it all under control???? THANK YOU!!!

We are waiting for clarification from Baloo

I personally am in favor of us still posting here but the beginning of the thread referring people to the design gallery and tip thread and then they come join us in this thread without having to go through hundereds of pages!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Thanks so much!! They look possitively magnificent I like the shirts with the border around neck and arms. It all looks so pofessional! What kind of transfer paper did you use?

Thanks again for helping me to see your beautiful work!!!

I used Avery transfer paper for light colored shirts for all but the black T. For that one I used some brand I've never heard of from Micheals. (Julie something...). It was just 3 sheets and I had a 40% off coupon. I cut close to the design for all the white shirts using scissors as I don't have experience with an exacto knife. I cut the Mission Mickey design right up to the edge so I wouldn't see any white.

After my trip I'll start thinking about making shirts for my October trip. DD has already asked where hers are. I think I may try the BJ's transfer paper that is $18.99 for 30 sheets. I paid $24 for 18 sheets at Staples for the Avery paper.

I agree with J&N's mom. Hopefully Baloo will see it that way.

I am sitting here utterly exhausted and almost in tears because I was up until 5:30am working on everything I'd gathered up for the past couple weeks together in one place.I thought I was doing a good thing by moving the thread to it's own board since people were complaining about ALL the pages to read and too much to catch up on. Hard to find design ,tips etc.

My mind is in a haze at the moment.But I'll try and explain.

My outlook on the whole thing was...say someone wanted a design.They'd start their OWN thread on the board like with a title "Looking for a Design for my son's Birthday trip" then inside the post it would say he'll be 12 loves Sticth,anybody have any ideas.Then everyone could disuss on that thread about that particular design etc.

Or start a new post that says Hey J&nMom,can you make me such and such....

He Midnite....can you design a 3 D design for Space Mt?

Hey can you make a Titans football design for me...

etc etc

I was thinking THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER for everyone...now I'm not sure.


Finished shirts I thought would be in the Finished Shirt thread.....make comments there about the finished product.,oh I love your shirt it lookes great...etc...so ALL THE FINISHED SHIRTS were in one place and easy for people to veiw.

The Design GalleryI was trying to keep a place where people could just look at designs and NOT have to wade through a gazllion post...that's why I've locked it so it will only consist of pictures... similar to the webpages some have set up.ALL the designs would be in one place so people could scroll through the pages and find a design they liked.I have the designer listed and will customize so the person can PM then for the customized design...then when the design is done whoever made it...say MOMOF2OH she'd start a post on the CSS Board and say...your design is done...then everyone would be able to see it and make comments on it and ask for one themselves if they liked it.Then everything wouldn't get lost in a huge thread.Then I would add the new design to the Design Gallery.

Welcome post I thought this would be our chit chat post...oh you're form TN ...me too...etc etc so all that didn't get lost in pages and pages.

FAQ&TIPS...where you ask questions about how to make shirts.Chit chat about that.People were giving the same tips over and over...now there is a post to refer to...there's plenty of room up there for more tips as people discover new secrets as they make their shirts.

Honestly I'm not going to be some post Nazi....I want every one to have fun and chit chat etc wherever you want to in your posts ...You have the ENTIRE CSS Board at your disposal !

Right now I'm too hazy and sorta overwhelmed...I'm sorry if I've confused everyone.That was not the goal I was aiming for. I was trying to make things easier...I'm not sure I accomplished that at the moment.

We'll see how things go over the next few days...I'll listen to suggestion and we'll see if we can all get this working smoothly as the community that we came to know and like.

Ya know Rome...and WDW weren't built in a day!


Once again I'm sorry to cause so much confusion.

 

[triplefigs]

Makes perfect sense! You did a GREAT job, Baloo! Now, I know what you had in mind. Thanks for the clarification!

 

[momof2OH]

Here's an Animal Kingdom design. If it's not posted in the right spot, someone/anyone please direct me to where I should be posting it. I don't want to mess up all the Great work Baloo has done or confuse anyone either.
