Way back when my boys were little, I used to hand paint tee shirts for them. Then, later on, it became a business for me and I’d sell tees and sweatshirts wholesale to local boutiques and to Silver Dollar City. After years of it, I burnt out and went on to other endeavors.
When the grandfairies came along, I painted a handful of shirts for them, but not many.
Funny, that I never took the time to create more than a couple for them. I guess that burn out ran deep.
Every once in a while, I do some as baby gifts because babies in onesies are about as cute as anything can be. I love onesies, but they can be kinda boring as a gift, so I add something personal. Like this fish for a nephew who lives by the shore.
And this pup for another nephew who has two yellow labs and a new baby. I painted a six pack of shirts as baby gifts, but forgot to take photos of the rest.
The best part was that I really had a good time doing them. Maybe the exhaustion from the year that I painted over a thousand has finally dissipated.
Sweet painting on the tee shirts and onesies!
