Little Man loves to draw and recently he's been really fascinated with robots. I love his drawings, they are so sweet. The robots always have happy faces with big eyes, and LM usually has a story to tell me about each one.
I wanted to make a bag or Tshirt with one of his drawings on it, and yesterday I finally did it. I used freezer paper, traced one of his drawings onto it and used that as a stencil. Here's the original drawing (sorry for the darkness of the photo- it was *dark* today):
And here's the new shirt, a Little Man Original:
Freezer paper stenciling is sooo easy and fun, I'm getting hooked. I spent over an hour today looking at different images for more stencils. Monkey Boy is getting a new shirt tomorrow and I want to stencil on a couple of my old T-shirts (hopefully covering some stains! LOL).

I see a famous T-shirt designer! How cute is that!
The funny thing is, my boyfriend would LOVE that shirt!
Your son's design is tops...how cool he can wear it! It's a coincide, but I spent the better part of yesterday, too, making my first freezer paper stencils/tees! Fun, addictive stuff (I plan to do more today...uh-oh!). My son made one too (my dd handpainted hers (she's 4).
Love your blog. I am happy to have found it via flickr!

i love the freezer paper method. what ink did you use?
That is adorable! I was browsing around to see if anyone else called their son Monkey Boy.. and your blog came up :) It's an adorable idea. I'm going to search on the net to see if I can find out how you did that.. VERY cool!!
That is so cute! CafePress here you come!
In my favorite book, "Spider Webb's Pushing Ink" someone got a tattoo of their kids' drawings. It was really cute.
That design is fantastic, and you are so clever to memorialize his art that way.
I can't even tell you how much I love this shirt!
