No escape from reality

The Toast has an entire day (today) devoted to essays about V.C. Andrews books. LOVE IT. Yes, I totally read these as a teen. Secretly. With relish. My parents still don't know. Although I'm not entirely certain they'd even know who she is/was. But I am positive they wouldn't have approved. Flowers In the Attic and my seventh-grade best friend's mom's Harlequin Romance collection were my introduction to reading porn. I was twelve years old. THIRTY-ONE YEARS OF PORN READING Y'ALL.



Speaking of fuck yeahs and Freddie Mercury, I am so buying this tee shirt. Oh hell yes.

Today's Tumblr collection is: Tuesday, August 13: Cars.

Crafty help needed

I decided to do a hamsa on the back of Pit Girl's vest instead of the sigil. The sigil just looked so...plain. I sketched out a couple different designs, then picked one I liked best. On some grid paper, I drew half of it, scanned it, flipped it in Photoshop, copied the mirror image onto the original half, printed it, re-traced it with a sharpie, printed it again, and scanned it. Here's the finished design:

Now I need a way to get it on the denim. Nobody in town prints onto iron-on transfers and I'm not interested in buying an entire pack of that iron-on transfer paper plus the ink-jet printer necessary to make one myself (I have access to a laser printer, but not an ink-jet). From a previous quest, I know that nobody in town sells embroidery transfer pens, either.

Suggestions on how to get my design onto the back of the vest? There's no way I can replicate it freehand.
