How to Choose the Best The Walking Dead T-Shirts
How to Choose the Best “The Walking Dead” T-Shirts
The Walking Dead as we all know is the biggest thing happening on TV this season. Fans from all corners of the globe have been waiting for just the third season of this smashing hit show about surviving in a world ruled by gruesome-looking zombies or walkers as they call it. What better way of showing support for the show than wearing Walking Dead shirts, right? This statement must be absolutely right. Anywhere I go these days, I get to see people wearing shirts inspired by this show. Browse the web and you will find numerous wonderfully designed shirts. But what is it that separates good ones from the great? With a bit of research and comparing, it’s not actually that hard to choose great The Walking Dead Shirts. Here are the points you have to consider in doing so:
Fabric Quality
This is the single most important detail that you will have to look at when buying shirts online. Unlike when you are buying from department stores, you would not be able to check as thoroughly the fabric used on clothing products sold online. The best clue that tells the quality of materials used is when the seller allows you to have a much closer inspection of the product. They would normally post high-resolution pictures of the product. If the seller does not have these photos available on their website, you should think twice. Sellers of high quality products are proud of what they offer and they would do everything to let their customers know that. Going around wearing a shirt made from low quality materials is just not cool. Remember, you just want to show your friends you are a The Walking Dead fan. You don’t want them to think you’re one of the gruesome-looking walkers wearing torn clothing.
Price
Stay away from ultra-cheap shirts. Sellers of low quality products usually mask the issue on quality by selling at dirt cheap prices. Do not fall for that. A great quality shirt should command better price. It is how the market works, especially on the clothing industry where competition can be so tough. Start your search from Walking Dead Shirts with an average price tag.
Design and Print Quality
More than half of The Walking Dead shirts sold in the market today are design-intensive. Take note that great print designs do not always translate to excellent print quality. In some cases, a seller would use cheap shirts just so he would have enough to cover the printing cost. This happens when high-resolution printing is necessary. If you think that the design is too intricate yet the price is a bit low, you may be looking at a bad deal. A good way of protecting yourself at this point is by looking at the real and valid feedback from the seller’s previous customers. If the feedbacks are all positive, think again. This might just be another ploy. Even the best of …
Beads Made From Semi-Precious Stones
Beads Made From Semi-Precious Stones
Used by ancient cultures long before they developed the technology to manufacture them from raw materials, beads carved of stone are found in archaeological sites throughout the world. These semi-precious, translucent or opaque stones make beads as unique as the most intricate, hand-made, lampwork glass beads. Each carved stone bead has its own demarcation, its own patterns of coloration. A few well-placed stone beads on an item of clothing, can elevate a plain outfit into an elegant, unforgettable one.
Hematite: Used by the Egyptians to decorate both their tombs and the items contained within them, hematite is a heavy, shiny, silvery opaque stone. It looks a lot like metal in its most common color of deep gray to black. The iron it contains oxidizes, leaving a reddish, rust-colored coating on sedimentary rocks. This reddish coloration is the origin of its name: Hemitate is the Greek word for blood.
Jade: Jade beaded necklaces are said to bring prosperity, wisdom, health, and good luck to the person who wears them. Popular in Asia for millennia jade is a prized possession given to children at birth. Although green is the most wildly known color of jade, it is also available in white, yellow, orange, pink, lavender, and red. Jade combines well with other gemstones, especially pearls.
Jasper: Known for its stripes, circles, or spots, jasper means “spotted stones” in Greek. Although the most plentiful coloration is whitish-gray to black, it also comes in red, brown, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. The striations often look like landscapes, with mountains, hills, and valleys. Many common names for jasper often reflect this and include the word “picture” as part of it. In folklore, jasper was said to drive away evil spirits.
Labradorite: Said to bring inner peace and to calm conflicts of the mind, labradorite is indigenous to Labrador, Canada. It evokes a opalescent glow, called a shiller, that is often shown off in jewelry settings. The glow in labradorite comes from light refracting from microscopic inter-grown crystals, as well as ilmenite, hematite, and magnetite.
Lapis Lazuli: Called “the stone of truth,” lapis lazuli is said to offer protection from depression, grief, and sadness. Its bright metallic specks in the deep blue background give it depth and an inner light. Often filled with white lines, or inclusions, the most desirable specimens are the ones with the fewest number of these. Latin for “blue stone,” lapis lazuli was used as an aphrodisiac by the Romans. The best quality stone is mined in Afghanistan, and has been mined there for over 6,000 years.

In Search of a Hawkwind T Shirt
In Search of a Hawkwind T Shirt
Real Hawkwind fans always have a Hawkwind t shirt (or two) either actually being worn daily, or in a drawer waiting for an occasion to get it out.
I know this is true, because I’m like this myself. I own such clothing. But wait – why would a grown man want to wear a T shirt with the album cover or festival logo of a band from the 1970s?
Or why would a younger music fan want a Hawkwind T shirt? This is a band which has had only one hit single (Silver Machine – as long ago as 1972), whose mainstay (Dave Brock) is a man in his sixties, and whose musical style is so out of step with the modern pop charts that on the rare occasions it gets radio play it sounds as if it has arrived from another, louder planet.
This question – why do people continue to buy and wear Hawkwind t shirts – has been puzzling me over the years. I suspect the answer is to do with the philosophy of Hawkwind itself – the philosophy which has engendered a kind of love for and loyalty to the band in its fan base. Despite the incessant personnel changes, the long periods of inactivity, the release of some mediocre albums, and the recent unpleasant member and ex-member squabbling and litigation, Hawkwind is an independent force – beyond the appeals of money and fashion, going its own way and being true to itself.
Someone who wears a Hawkwind T shirt is saying something about himself (or herself, but a wearer is usually male) – I’ve not been seduced by a logo or by corporate values, there is another world beyond commercial chart music and consumer culture, and that’s what I want to support.
Though the counter-culture philosophy of the band Hawkwind is debatable, and ironic, considering they sell their music and their concert tickets and their (official) T shirts like every other band, this alternative ethos must be part of their appeal.
The other reason is the artwork, which is unique and unmistakable. Hawkwind has been blessed over the years in getting the services of some very talented artists for its album covers. This is still evident on Hawkwind T shirts which are available today, featuring album covers such as In Search of Space, Doremi Fasol Latido, Roadhawks and Masters of the Universe (a true classic).
Other artwork on Hawkwind clothing features festival logos along with the band’s name – and who wouldn’t want a Stonehenge T shirt? If anything speaks of who the wearer really is, a free festival T shirt does.…

Things To Make And Sell For Money: Making Doll Clothes Is A Great Way to Make Extra Money From Home
Something that is great to make and sell for extra money is doll clothes. What little girl does not love beautiful doll clothes to dress their beautiful dolls in. Your imagination is the limit. Little girls around the world will love the little creations that you bring. Not to mention the joy and reward you can gain from this wonderful niche market.
Doll clothes making can truly be addicting (a good addiction for sure). With so many different types of patterns and styles out there you have no worry of running out of ideas. Search online for “doll clothes patterns” and there should be a host of sites that come up. Don’t be afraid to venture out of the normal/usual styles that you like or your comfort zone. Tastes and styles are many and varying out there. The ones that you think are not very popular may just be the ones that sell the most. So let your guard down and go for it.
Quality will be very important in this market. If the doll clothes you make are not up to par, you will see that reflected in your bottom line. Your customers will not always let you know that they are not satisfied, they will simply not buy anymore of your product and they surely will not recommend your doll clothes to any of their fellow doll lovers. Make sure that you do put the time and effort into what you are doing. Detail is everything when it comes to doll clothes. Just as in “real people” clothes, poor quality is a no-no. No matter how good the price is, quality is what is most important. Show that you care, put some effort into it. It will pay off in the end.
With this in mind, you will need to invest in a good sewing machine, if you do not already have one. A baby lock machine (a type of sewing machine) also will come in handy for those finishing touches. Make sure that you have all the tools readily available to you as you work on each individual project. You do not want to have to look for items you need or have to stop in the middle of a good rhythm to get up to get an item you need. That should all be within reach to you. Make sure that you are in a location that will allow you to concentrate. No disturbances from family or pets if possible so that you can make sure to give the attention needed to your work. The lighting in your work space should also be the best it can be.
All these factors are important to being successful at doll making. You will want this to be something you enjoy and can maintain for the long hall. Make sure that you set yourself up for success!…

Affordable Tips to Freshen Up Your Wardrobe
Affordable Tips to Freshen Up Your Wardrobe
Dying to look like the ultimate beach babe? Here’s how you can brighten up your wardrobe and accessories with a look that spells Summer!
Dying to Know:
What you need to get started.
Dyeing is basically changing the color of a piece of clothing or cloth material by boiling it in a dye bath of the desired color for about 3o minutes. When you tie dyes something, you use a string or rubber bands to make a pattern; these prevent the dye from penetrating the fabric, so the tied-up parts stay the original color.
We used Venus dye in powder form which comes in little packets. Its best to use cloth that’s 100% cotton. the more synthetic material a fabric has ( like polyester, rayon, etc.) the less the dye will be absorbed. If the cloth your using is new makes sure it’s been washed first. Better yet give your old t-shirts, clothes pillowcase and the like a new lease on life by tie dyeing them!
Step 1. Fill; the pot with enough Luke warm water to completely submerge the article. Fill a paper cup with a small amount of hot water to dissolve the contents of the packet of dye into it.
Step 2. Tie dyeing techniques… There are three different ways to tie-dye
Step 3. Doing the dyeing…. Wet the articles and put it into the dye bath. Boil it for 10 minutes, string constantly with a pair of tongs or a wooded spoon.
Step 4.Finishing up…. remove the article from the dye bath. Dump it in the sink and let cold water run over it to cool it down. Keep rinsing until the water runs almost colorless. When you’re sure its cooled down, untie the string or take it out the rubber bands. Squeeze out as much water as you can, or use an old towel to soak up excess moisture. Iron it until it dries.
You don’t need to have all sets of new clothes, it’s too expensive for you, now that you know how this things works you can try this out and give new color and new look at your old shirts and jeans.…
