My old youth pastor, Chris, called me a couple months ago to ask if I wanted to be a teacher for his church’s Disciple Now.  I was SO excited that he called, and I happily agreed to do it.

The overall theme for this year is medieval, and we will be discussing chivalry, relationships, love, dating, etc.  I am teaching the senior girls group, and our color is blue, so I made shirts for myself for the weekend!

The first shirt is just for fun.  I found an example of a shirt that I liked, and I edited it to my liking.  This is the dragon shirt for the first night:

Dragon Detail

Isn’t the dragon cute!?  I love how it turned out!  I used freezer-paper stenciling for both of these shirts.  You draw or trace a design on to freezer (butcher) paper, cut that out with an exacto-knife, and then you can iron the wax side on to the shirt.  After painting on to the stencil and letting it dry for a little bit, you can peel the freezer paper off.  I added all of the detail with a little paintbrush. I think the hardest part was cutting out the medieval font for the dragon shirt.  The detail was a pain, but it was worth it for how it turned out!  :-)

The other shirt goes more with the actual theme of the weekend.  This one I came up with totally on my own.  It’s the Shining Armor shirt:

I am most happy with the way the knight’s helmet turned out on this particular shirt.  I also love the color change in the plume (is that the right word?) on the top of the helmet.  I like the details on it.  David likes the shine around “Shining” on the front of the shirt.

What do you think??
