Transfer Print and Graphics made with Markers for Textile Decoration

The textile decoration on the t-shirt is made from a personal photo - printed on an inkjet printer with transfer paper. The transfer print is created by ironing the design onto the T-shirt, which is then decorated graphically using fabric markers.
