Make Your Own Hawaiian Print

[scottidog]

We were talking about Aron's great Hawaiian print on her most recent artwork for the Star Fund.

I got to thinking... we could make Hawaiian print swatches just for fun. Let's keep them to no larger than 400x400.

You can make your own, or try to recreate one you've seen Al wear.

Hmm, this should be interesting. I've made hawaiian patterns for Al drawings before, but nothing really detailed. I'll have to give this a try. Should we post it in shirt form or just a pattern?

[scottidog]

Either way is fine. Do you want to draw up a blank shirt that people can use if they want?

Ok, this is probably not going to even come close to being as good as anything anyone else here will post, but, this is a crop of the print I created out of chocolate when I made the very first *and only one of its kind* chocolate Al:



It's kind of free form, and made of white and milk chocolate.

Here's the whole chocolate Al:

That's great, Patti! I hadn't seen that one before.

Awww...

That's great, Patti! I hadn't seen that one before.

Really? I thought for sure I had posted a pic of my first venture into making a chocolate Al in this forum. I was most pleased with his hair. The only thing that wasn't chocolate were his lips. They were made of frosting. The shirt was kinda thin, and wound up cracking shortly after I took that picture. I did eat chocolate Al eventually. Just as yummy as can be, I might add. I used a pic from an interview Al did for Nickolodeon back in 2000 as a reference. I wound up flipping my creation over. The other side looked better. I may have added the hair after doing so. It was 5 years ago, so I don't remember for sure. Anyway, yeah, a one-of-a-kind, rather large chocolate Al. I think I estimated the size at about 5 1/2" high and 3 1/2" across. I'm glad you like it.

That's a cool creation, Patti! I remember seeing it, but before this topic, I never really noticed the shirt. I like it! It looks like blue sky with soft white clouds.

[algonacchick]

Thanks, jerAL. I suppose if I'd used blue instead of brown chocolate, it would've looked like a sky with clouds. Wow. I like that.

I may have seen the face part, but I hadn't seen the chocolate Hawaiian print. Neato!
