"All you had to do was pay us enough to live"

Like several of these decorative finishes, stencilling is a legacy from very early civilization. In more recent history, it is probably the American settlers whom we have to thank most for keeping the tradition alive, bringing it with them from Europe and using it on walls.

Posting for all to use, for free, my (somewhat simplified) PHM patch art.

The big, round "mission patch" you all should already have (ripped or rasterized from the Lego set. Please see my earlier post). Below are my Grace "wings" patch / name patch, and the "PHM" "monogram" patch, seen on flightsuits, spacesuits, clothes, etc.

These come in 3 versions: a black & white, high contrast version meant to be used to make stencils for painting (or cutting vinyl), a 'flat colors' version, for printing, and a "3D" effect version (also for printing).

Did you know there is home inkjet printer printable fabric? It's OK. You gotta get your printer settings right, and heat-set the ink after printing (read the instructions!), but this is another option for DIY cosplayers.

Finished size is up to you! I had to guess and approximate the size, based on photos & screencaps, and comparing to my costume. You will have to do the same. Make some blank test cutouts or prints and stick them on your 'project' to judge for yourself.

シジュウカラと新緑 / Japanese Tit & Fresh Green

新緑の中で、青緑の羽がきれいなシジュウカラを描きました🕊️

羽のグラデーションや模様がとても美しく、いつも見とれてしまいます。

シジュウカラは、文法やジェスチャーを使って仲間と会話する、とても面白い鳥です。（シジュウカラ語マスターしたい...！）
