Lone Star Christmas

Published January 2, 2009

For the second year in a row my family's Christmas gifts for a larger family gathering - this time in the great state of Texas - were as homemade and frugal as can be with a second design in the holiday t-shirt series (albeit for the other side of the family this time.)

There're a buncha things going on, for example: each of the four wisemen - nowhere in the Bible does it say there were three - represent a state of origin for each of the fragments of family that were congregated.

This round of silkscreening brought the revelation that when making a stencil, photo paper works quite excellently, and that canvas does not absorb ink and makes for a messy scene.
