Potato Print DIY: Little Boy T-Shirt

Do you know how hard it is to find boys shirts?  Or at least ones that don't have sayings about being a trouble-maker or are covered in licensed characters?  Its ridiculously hard.  So I decided to try making my own shirt.
The Pattern
Step 1:  I took the pattern (made from a sketch I did of one of James' toys), and cut it out of a large potato.
Step 2:  Spread out your puffy paint or screen printing ink out thinly.  (I watered down white screen printing ink to get a watercolored look) Dip your potato in and go to town.
Step 3:  Set your ink if using screen printing ink by throwing it, once dry, into the dryer for 30 mins.

Step 4:  Wear your new masterpiece!
