Hand-embellished shirt

Check out this shirt my friend made for me. (OK, well, I provided the shirt, and she provided the art.) All this is freehand with a fabric pen:

Back, left side

Front, toward the bottom

Front detail

And even this spiffy little detail under the right-hand sleeve!

I'm really hoping to see her work on Etsy or something similar. But she's going back to Pakistan on Sunday and won't be back in the States until next year at the earliest, for grad school.

She says her creative process when she's doing a shirt is meditative and free of thought — her only chance to really relax sometimes, she says. And I can tell you from experience that it's a joy to watch her work!
