One of my favorite terms is "WERK." I say it all the time! Under my breath, loud and guttural, sometimes even just in my head... over and over and over. So it was natural for me to want to sequin this my fave term onto a t-shirt, in my signature style. Not one to rest on my laurels I decided to step my sequin game up a notch. Therefore I opted for an ombre effect.
To achieve my desired effect, I used two colors of holographic sequins.
The finished motif .
I started working horizontally at the top with solid color rows and slowly integrating the opposite color. When the sequins got to the center rows each color was alternated back and forth each color. I reversed the effect on the way to the bottom row returning to a single color.
How about that Varsity style font? Go team!
The finished product! When trimming away the organza I left it inside the letters to avoid any accidental cuts!. The end result was very nice since it added an additional level of color.
Trust me... everyone I meet is obsessed with this beauty!
Doesn't everything looks better when run through the "Sparkle" app?
Sometimes the top sequins appear pink and sometimes they appear orange. I love the AB effect of them!
Little know fact:
Holographic effects on sequins and rhinestones are referred to as "AB." This stands for "Aurora Borealis" to reference the rainbow effect.
I mean come on, isn't that just the epitome of glamour?!
Any suggestions for the next color combination?
