Thinking about getting ahead start for my boy's Book Week parade, as has already been decided that he wanted to go as Super Hero, I had plans to make the entire outfit and started to work hard on the top and shield - only to find out there was not going to be a parade. After the inevidable sadness I thought I should go ahead and make the t-shit part of the outfit anyway so that it could be worn as a normal t-shirt, so I started to do it - armed with no more that a standard kitchen sponge, a washed styrofoam tray that you get with sausages or mince, a slice of cardboard and stardard acrylic paints (just happen to have scarlet lake red and titaniuum white) and a roll of masking tape.The blue t-shirt was stolen from his bedroom draw.
