Pet Project: huey&wah @ Etsy

Xiao Bi was very much into balls and play fetch when she was a puppy. But as she grows, she doesn’t really fancy playing that much now. It started when Coco joined in and took away all her balls. Poor thing.
But both of them love t-shirts. Fabric, as a matter of fact. They love playing tug of war with a piece of fabric. Days ago I suddenly thought perhaps I can make them t-shirt yarn balls, and they might get into playing fetch again. Those fat girls really need some exercise when we aren’t available for walks.
And also, there is another reason for this, which I’ll share when I get to take some photos tomorrow.
This idea has been playing around in my mind for at least 2-3 months now. I didn’t want to work on it earlier – or rather, I couldn’t work on it earlier as I didn’t want to distract myself from working on the other already-in-progress projects, particularly those on banners and also some website thingy. And then some time last week I decided that I DON’T CARE I WANNA TRY! So I carved my own rubber stamps, and made this.
We are so used to screen printing our t-shirts that I thought I wanted to do something different this time. Something more flexible, and fun. Thanks to my lecturers, I was once trained in both basic screen printing and lino cutting, and I now can combine things that I’ve learned and make them work together. :)
This piece of work will be going into the washing machine in a while to run a test. After that it will be Wah’s property. And if everything goes well, it will be available in our shop very soon – like before you even realise. :)
So in the previous poll, it seems that most voters go for our current cutting and 3/4 sleeves! Thanks for everyone who participated! :)
We might only be able to go with one of these for this batch of order. Time to meet up with the supplier and see what can be done.
Stay tuned! ;)
So we are planning to order our next batch of t-shirts, and personally I’m tempting to have this batch sleeveless – or at least with cap sleeves. It’s not going to be in huge bulk (it’s limited edition) but I’m still wondering if this is a good idea. So here is a poll, if you have a little time. Thank you in advance. :)
What kind of sleeves would you like our next burgandy T-shirt to have?
- Same as the one we currently have (looks a little like cap sleeves) (33%, 4 Votes)
- 3/4 in length (33%, 4 Votes)
- Sleeveless No. 2 (looks like military tank top) (25%, 3 Votes)
- Cap sleeves (8%, 1 Votes)
- Sleeveless No. 1 (broader shoulder area) (1%, 0 Votes)
Total Voters: 12
 Loading ... Poll will end on 8 December 2009, 12am (our time, in Malaysia). For reference, here are some samples. Top to bottom = left to right.
Many thanks! :)
This week ended slow again. I couldn’t blame more as it’s just those weeks that I had things to settle at work and I just don’t have enough energy to work hard for our little business. True enough, the marketing and others are really time consuming. Not to mention the time to ‘really’ create something. Urgh.
Some time this week I received some colour samples from a new friend and supplier, for our next batch of t-shirts. I have been thinking that we should continue to work on our t-shirt designs again. I have some doodles in my journals that I just haven’t had the time to develop them into nice t-shirts.
I love the one on the left, the one in burgundy. Most likely will turn it into a sleeveless top… or something. Thought?
