More on Doctor Who 3.10 "Blink" - NOW WITH T-SHIRT!

[marycrawford]

Happily more people have seen the latest episode of Doctor Who ("Blink") today, because I just want to squee some more. Also show off the t-shirt I made.

That theory I posted on Saturday about the origins of the episode's story (spoilers in link!) is totally confirmed, yay! I watched the Doctor Who Confidential after and the writer for this episode, Stephen Moffat, mentioned it in passing.

This was a very fun Doctor Who Confidential, btw, and well worth watching - it's David Tennant going around interviewing Who writers, actors and production people about their own connection to the show, and what it was like to watch it as kids. Lots of clips of all the various Doctors and monsters, some of it in vid form (where they really could've used a good vidder, ahem.)

And since I have been messing with fabric paints and stenciling anyway, I had to make a "Blink" t-shirt. I am so happy with this, even though nobody watches Who in the Netherlands and I probably won't meet anyone who gets it. It's just. YAY SHIRT!



Back of the shirt (your basic boring beige t-shirt that I probably should've ironed for the photo):



Then...

I went a bit overboard. Or not. But I do love how it came out:

Front of the shirt:





The TARDIS is from the BBC, who have awesomely provided a ready-for-use stencil for kids to make t-shirts with, and I made the angel stencil myself, using this photograph by Ryan Greenberg of a cemetary angel. Her fingers are broken, which I could have corrected, but I left them as is, because to me an angel with broken fingers is ever so much scarier.

(I must add, DO NOT SEARCH FLICKR for photos of 'sad angel statue' or 'weeping angel statue' after having watched this episode because the things you will find are terrifying. Like this. Or this. Or (gaaaah) this...)

I do not have the words to tell you how much I love your t-shirt!! It's inspired!

Although, I did follow your links to the pictures. And I'm going to be sleeping with the lights on tonight, for sure. *shivers* That was such a brilliant episode!

*beams* Thank you! Yay! The shirt just makes me crazy happy. I can't wait for it to dry so I can actually wear it.

And I'm sorry about the pictures, but I just had to share. *g* Moffat only had to twist a little bit, because these things are damn scary all on their own... He did write us a brilliant ep, though, go him.

Aw!

What a wonderful shirt! Now I want to try my hand at one. And ooh, that third angel picture is a little unsettling...

That angel is just creepy. I think it's the same one as the first photo, just from a different angle. Gah.
And thanks! I hope you will post if you make a shirt too. :-)

In ieder geval één andere kijker...

What do you mean nobody else in the Netherlands watches Doctor Who? I'm a crazed fan...crazed I tell ya!

Hi, I stand corrected! *g* Het is meer dat ik denk dat weinig mensen de grap zullen vatten als ik ermee op straat loop, terwijl dat in Engeland waarschijnlijk anders is.

Lijkt mij dat dat de grap nog leuker maakt. Al die mensen die zich afvragen waar het over gaat... Erg mooi gemaakt trouwens, het shirt. Je zou er nog één kunnen maken, maar dan met allemaal lieve kleinde cherubs er om heen vliegend ;)
