First Bear and Bird T-Shirt coming soon!

This has been a long time coming! Danielle Estefan created the adorable illustration above for use on our Bear and Bird t-shirt quite a bit ago and due to extreme busyness it kept getting pushed lower on my 'to do' list. Also, I was endlessly searching for "just the right t-shirt" to print it on. :-)

Once I decided on the shirt I finally got to start with how the final colors would end up being printed! A job in itself... :-)

What you see above is a photoshop mockup of the final shirt, with a scan of the actual shirt material in the background. I decided to go with an American Apparel Track Tee (so soft) in this gorgeous indigo blue color. The white will actually be a discharge (bleach) print and then we're going over that with three waterbased ink (soft) colors. I have high hopes that it will come out even lovelier than the sample image. Ordered the blank shirts today so fingers crossed these should be on our shelves in about a month! Can't wait!!
