Prepairing for a 9 days trip to Greece: My handmade Steem T-shirt

The countdown has begun! Only 46 hours left until the start of my trip from Budapest. Before a long journey, I do not like to hurry, all preparations are done in calm conditions. I will not leave anything for the last moment.
This T-shirt was made last Wednesday in Miskolc. Well, i spoiled it for the first time, but it turned to be more beautiful and unique then. My first plan was to paint a plain blue STEEM-logo, using a cardboard template to make brush-painting easier, but the template slipped and the paint smudged. Oh, nooo! I tried to touch it up by painting the background but it became more ugly.

Then I remembered my motto: "There are no spoiled painting, just new ideas!"

I recently bought some textile paint spray for 50% discount, in orange and green colors, so i began to spray the whole T-shirt. Of course i went out of these sprays soon. New idea: i diluted creamy textured textile paints in spray bottles, and it was working! The result: whole surface became deep orange and green. But the steem logo got a strange mixed color, and i didn't like it. Next step: painting the logo again, with green and brownish orange, and the result was much better! After drying, i drew the spirals, tendrils on the background, and, of course my steem profile URL under that - i used white waterproof fibre pen. Finally I was very satisfied! I will be happy to wear it in Greece, hoping to be recognized by other Steemies! Let's meet at the Olympic Beach from 19 to 26 June. If you'll be there, feel free to write a message on Steemit Chat or here as a comment. I'm not going to stop steeming on my holiday, because i'll take a small notebook with me, so i can communicate via Wi-Fi.
