[SUGGESTION]Monica's idea in Diego's forum

[Lysithea]

I like the idea of t-shirt transfers since the best owl I own is in the form of small windchimes.
I'm not sure if anyone has asked for a larger version of the strength icons yet, so I have sent an email to Ariadne asking her to ask Kai to make t-shirt sized resolutions available to everyone. (Even the "lrg" images I found on the website are too tiny to print)

Heeeey...I hear Ariadne has e-mailed out a bunch of PDFs that have the strength icons in them, and that they've been posted to the wiki...are these suitable for making t-shirt transfers?

Maybe we could combine both ideas...put the Sofia icon on a violet shirt, e.g. Makes it easy to spot people with the strength you want at a distance (which could be good when a lot of people get together for a big labyrinth).

[AUZ505]

What are the PDFs you are talking about? Just the strength icons?

I am working as I write this on doing just that. I've taken the PDFs and rasterized the images for suitable use on things like Tshirts.. its getting late, so I doubt I'll have the TShirts up tonight, but I'll have them up tomorrow.

Additionally, I'll try to make the images available somewhere for those people who don't have the tools to convert the PDF into workable images and just want the final images.

Ok I lied.. I stayed up later than I should have (doing that alot recently) and got the strength Tshirts up.

Here's the location/store to purchase them at. There is no markup on these, so you're getting them at cost.

I chose printfection because of the variety of colors that are available. While they are being displayed on a color closest to the strength, when you purchase one, you have the ability to choose another color, or go with plain white.

Printfection doesn't have as many product choices as a place like Cafepress, so I still might up utilizing my Cafepress shop to do things like stickers and buttons.

However, the available PF products are here:

PM me if you want something other than a plain Tshirt and I'll add it to the section.

I plan on putting more items up, including shirts with FTLR text on it etc. I just wanted to get these up ASAP.

The images I used were rasterized from the Ariadne supplied PDFs and are at 200 dpi PNG (the maximum preferred resolution for the shirts), so the quality should be really good.

We've purchased from PF before and were happy with the results.

p.s. The shirts are only up with English text right now. I'll try to knock out the alternate languages soon, though I don't know how easy it will be to navigate the site to purchase them.

Weezel, they look amazing! Thanks so much for doing that! I'll definitely be picking up a Sofia and a labyrinth one (probably tonight...no time right now).

[Weezel]

Apparently the Sofia and Chariton shirts are showing up as $6 more expensive. That is because of the base color I chose.. some colors (darker ones) are a different price, because they have to use a different printing process.

If you customize the shirt and choose a different color, it will change the price.

You chould put Chariton on a light red (pink) shirt, but there is no light purple shirt. Sofia might like good on a grey shirt though.

This isn't something I can control unfortunately. Kinda sucks for those two strengths.. like say um... me and my wife (one of each).

To be honest, I think the dark colors look really nice with those two strengths.. Some of the lighter shirts actually have darker versions too, and if that's your preference, you can switch it yourself.

You are amazing!

Women's shirts are now available in both styles. Unfortunately, there are less colors available in the Women's T, and even less with the Women's baby ribbed.

At this point, I'm going to leave the number of products available as is, unless someone sends me a PM specifically requested a particular product/combo/color/language that they want.

So rather than doing all languages, alt languages will be added on demand.

This is especially true since only 8 shirts have been purchased so far.

BUT I have to say that I just got mine and it's quite awesome. Kinda expected it to come the day AFTER our run >.<

but whatever. I encourage everyone else to get one! They're awesome!
