Rhinestone Chinchilla T-shirt design

aznmexaggie · Apr 15, 2009

I recently saw on another forum a few really cute t-shirts with a rhinestone design of a chinchilla standing up. The shirts were being given away but I was a little too late to see the post and missed out. I've been wanting a rhinestone chin shirt for a while so I went to the craft store and bought some rhinestones, a tool to apply them, sketched a picture of a chin, and made a few chin designs.

I ended up with one without whiskers and one with. Which do you think is cutest or looks most like a chin? Anything I can do to improve them? Should I add text?

Both cute, but the one with the whiskers looks too mouse-like.

I really like the outline of the chin but maybe fabric paint would work better for the face? Except rhinestones for the eyes still. Oh and I like just 2 lines of whiskers myself.

I'm going to experiment a little more with the designs too. I want to find a way that I can include whiskers without making it look mousey... and I want to define the face a little more as well.

Maybe, not sure if those are the bigger rinestones or not, but do the design a bit bigger, and use smaller, closer together ones to define detail lines and / or do whiskers.

So far, I like the design without the whiskers better. If there is a way you could add the whiskers with paint or some other fashion, I think it would be better than with the rhinestones. Incorporating actual whiskers - like with plastic wires or something of that nature might be cool.
