panda painting

Yesterday, I spent time throwing paint on a T-shirt for my friend's belated birthday present. When I'm painting, I have a really bad habit of rushing, and my impatience results in splattering paint all over the shirt. Instead of trying to wash off the spots, I got experimental and ended up flooding the shirt with water to create a fuzzy "watercolour" effect along the edges. I covered the rest of the splatters with the green paint splotches/embroidered felt material. I probably spent more time trying to fix the shirt than actually painting it. 

Anyway, I don't know if my friend will actually wear this or not - something about the panda just sitting there like a LETHARGIC LUMP makes me laugh. Is this shirt wearable? Leave a comment and let me know. I totally won't be offended if you say no. hahah =) 

And if you see my friend walking around wearing this shirt, I give you permission to point and laugh.

  1. that is still a pretty impressive lethargic lump! lol i realized you actually have twooo friends whose names start with A and who both like pandas..but i guess the baseball cap indicates this shirt is for the male gendered one. i think it makes a a good outfit for when he's taking awkward phone calls for you :p
