Lessons Learned
I found something out last night.
If you meticulously trace a word with a heat-transfer pencil onto tracing paper, and then try to iron it onto your material of choice...
the letters will be reversed.
Oops.
I finally figured out, on my own no less, that if I flip the piece of tracing paper over, I can indeed trace the reversed letters with said heat-transfer pencil, thereby restoring order to the Embroiderverse.
Since I can't find exactly the right thing to embroider the gift onto, I'm doing something for myself. I've blatantly lifted some pics of the Cheshire Cat from Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland and am embroidering it onto a shirt.
I'm putting the words 'Can You Stand on Your Head?' on the shirt pocket along w/the cat's grin, and this on the bottom front of the shirt:
It's kind of funny, but Rob has always equated me with the animated Cheshire Cat, I'm not sure why. I'm flattered, but I don't see the resemblance.
I've always loved the Mad Hatter myself - the new Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp as the Hatter didn't really do it for me. I think he's been Cap'n Jack Sparrow too long - it bled into the Mad Hatter. I dunno, I didn't love the new AiW. Interesting concept, but I think someone else, maybe Benecio Del Toro, could have done it better. Disney's character building hasn't been very good lately - I miss the old bad bad guys - like Malificent. She was a true villain, along with the original Cruella de Ville, not these watered down wanna-be bad guys like the new Red Queen or the guy in The Princess & the Frog - he's so not bad I can't even remember his freaking name & I just watched the movie!
