and in the sea there is a fish, a fish that has a secret wish…
I have a new shirt design today, this comes from a very nice benefactress. It’s one of the new stranded designs from target, but it seems to me to be a revision of an earlier design. I scanned this, since I can’t seem to find my camera, but I think it turned out pretty well, and details the design better than the image on target’s site.
There’s some nice embroidery on the fish, but it really reminded me of this earlier stranded design. I don’t really have a preference as they are both nice designs. The main differences (besides color) seem to be the black shirt has the fish much bigger and with more embroidery, and the contrast of the red sun on the black background, whereas with the navy blue design, the characters make up the majority of the design and the fish (and I think I see some bamboo) as the graphical element of the design.
a little birdie told me…
As i am perennially fond of the stranded line from target, i am always checking to see if they have new designs up. stranded tees are soft, wash/wear, affordable, fit me well (unlike most shirts), snug in the right places and loose in the rest…what’s not to like? The only downside is that they tend to fray ever so slightly at the neck and hem, but not terribly, and i find it gives a nice, worn-in look (essential for street cred). So, i’m scanning target’s page, nothing really jumps out at me until this:
And…ENHANCE!
*sigh* so gorgeous. the bird, to me, typifies spring, and you cannot tell me somthing with that many swirls and flourishes was not meant to be worn by a girl. so yes, i am really hoping that maybe someone will get this for me (size small!) i think i have 5 stranded tees, so here’s hoping for a half-dozen.
