One more question, about the question marks... was your stencil cardboard, illustartion board for thickeness, and with the fabric paint... did you use a regular brush, squeegee or roller (screen printers edition).
I used "stencil blanks" for my stencils. They are clear thin plastic sheets. The ability to see through them really helps when placing your stencil on your garment. I had planned to use fabric spray paint, but it is far too thin/watery and hard to control. I ended up using sponges, but I think small rollers would have been a good alternative also. Thanks again for your nice comments.

This project turned out great, Danbar! Kudos for going down the custom dye route with the fabric parts, it definitely paid off!

I wrapped the joints in foam after putting them in my desired position. Thanks for your kind remarks!
