2009 - preschool handwriting

In 2009 our daughter was ready to get into the game herself.  In the peak of her pink phase, she chose pink for the t-shirt.

Ever the proud parent, I asked her to use her burgeoning writing skills to write down the letters in SPORT DEATH on a piece of paper with a big marker, dictating one letter to her at a time.  This is what we got, adorable many-runged E and all:


Some playing around with the GIMP to put the letters back in an order that makes sense to a non 4-year-old, and we got this:

Upon request, I then opted to put it on a pink size 4T t shirt, using "for dark T-shirt" iron on transfers. This turned out to be a bit exciting because I actually cut out each individual letter from the printout so that it would look like the letters had been silkscreened directly onto the shirt, and carefully peeled off the backing. (Years later, we can see that it mostly worked except I didn't get the backing of the S peeled off right, and it never adhered to the shirt.)
