lemonlye is is doing Tweets of great books. Jane Eyre is hilarious. She's posted an open call to play along.

That's the last part of the post that isn't about me, fair warning.

The reason I've had trouble naming the car is apparently that, like the Doctor, it wants a title. Therefore, it is "the travelpod."

Said Travelpod is the only thing ready for MediaWest, because I sure ain't. I've got to pack, pull together the assorted things I've been asked to bring and drop, get food, pull samples from Big Finish for the panel, and make a t-shirt. I don't remember having much luck with homemade iron-ons, but it's been a long time since the 70s.

And I think I'm going to have to take some time out to see Star Trek just because all the cool kids have. That and, while I don't mind spoilers, at this rate I'm going to know every scene by heart before I walk into the theater.

Veiled reviewer comment - the book was light as a feather, as is the entire series, but after the smear job done on renaissance festivals by a different author, it's nice to read a book by someone who gets them and enjoys them.

Printable Iron ons aren't that bad--as long as your printer is up for it. At least, they were decent in the late 90s when I made shirts for Team Wench walkers in that first walk...

I'm going to find out the fun way tomorrow...

I've had reasonably good luck with the ones I've done. The only problems I've had have been in washing the black-on-black ones (like the Torchwood logo) which color-flaked badly. But my New Burbage ones still look great.

I thought you'd silk-screened the New Burbage one, not used an iron-on.

[jennetj.livejournal.com]

Nope. Avery's t-shirt transfers for dark shirts. They work a treat. I'm about to do a few more Burbage shirts for folks.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Any chance I could get on the list?

What sized shirt? Or...bring a shirt to the con and I'll bring a transfer and we can do it there - it's pretty simple.

Let me do that; I've got a fair amount of shirts lying around that aren't toss-worthy but aren't quite work-worthy anymore either. Dark, I take it? Or can you do light as well?

Heck, don't tempt me - if the home iron-on doesn't work, I may bring the shirt and iron-on for this one! (It's the TARDIS in flight, with the caption "Next stop... EVERYWHERE!" Shall I bring the art for you just 'cause?)

This particular method is for dark shirts. All of the New Burbage shirts I've done have been on red shirts.

Sure, I'd love a copy of the TARDIS design - thanks!

Hmmm... I've got an extra pale gray, which may be too light, but I may also have an extra red. If not, a quick swing by Target should offer up a range of possibilities.

The transfer came out beautifully, by the way! Now I've got 5 more sheets and a nearby Target selling T-shirts, and burgeoning plans. The world needs some Sarah Jane Adventures T-shirts!

Already dropped the TARDIS design onto my thumbdrive for you.
