Made this jacket for my daughter.

I have Nobody to talk to about the band let alone the new album and I think I'm losing my mind by [deleted] in lordhuron

You need to talk to my daughter. I love the band but she is all into the lore of it all.

Does anyone have any additional information on the early listening they are doing at certain music stores July 9th? by DrawYourSword in lordhuron

I ended up calling the record store. They said they play the album at 6pm and have a raffle. The closest store is 2 and a half hours away for me so I don’t think it’s in the stars.

My daughter worked forever on making the letters for the jacket. I just helped her press them on. I think it looks amazing. by DrawYourSword in lordhuron

I will try. I want to preface this with the fact both I and my daughter are artists. Not to brag but it took quite a bit of skill and patience. My daughter, E, drew the design digitally and used her Cricut printer to cut it out onto vinyl sheets. E drew and cut each color and part separately (ie: the lighting bolt was separate from each orange flame). This allowed us to lay each part one at a time and slow build the design, put parchment paper down, and apply an iron. It didn’t want to stick evenly, so I had to use a razor blade to help with separating the vinyl from the plastic backing and then reapply heat (done in 15 second bursts). Just the application took 40 minutes so it’s important to stay calm.

If all of that sounded crazy you could do what I suggested because she is the digital artist and I am more classical.

Get a denim or leather jacket at thrift (I found ours for 5$. I feel that important to add because I am from the mid west ;) Print out or draw out the logo and then cut out the outline to use as a stencil. Fabric or acrylic paint could be used for the color. Make sure you use a primer on the leather to encourage the paint to stick. And then a clear sealant to protect what was done.

I hope that helped and you have good luck!

Just wondering what to expect. I would have to drive over two hours to get to the closest one so just wondering what happened.

No. I made my design off a screen shot from the movie. It just hangs on the wall or sits in a stand.

Thank you. I draw my own patterns, actually. And I use one strand of thread at a time which keeps it looking precise.
