"From T-Shirt to Garden Sculpture"
Page 1 of 7

Author: joemajury, Contributing Editor

In this article, I will show you how to take an old T-Shirt, and a few other items, and turn them into a lovely Sculpture, for either indoors or outdoors. I have called this sculpture " The Lottery Winner "

In my previous articles, I have always dealt with something that I have known about and experienced. Not this time! This is a first for me. So follow closely, and see how I do this, mistakes and all, and like me, you will learn from them and go on to get better and better.

Above all, enjoy it - thats what it's all about!
These are the supplies needed to make the sculpture. I will go through the more unusual items one by one and explain them, but I'm sure you are all aware of what masking tape, scissors and a ruler are!
For this Sculpture, I am using "Paverpol" dyes. I will list the website for these later, but any fabric dyes will do.
Loose cotton strands, available from any good craft / material shop (also from the Paverpol website), will be used to make the hair on the sculpture.
Here is what we use to wrap the figure up like a mummy:
cotton strips approximately 6 x 24cms (2.5" x 9.5").
Don't wait - discuss this topic with fellow artists now in our forum!
