ABSTRACT:
A process for painting a design onto a clothing item to create wearable art utilizes a draw-through-pattern graphics system. When creating wearable art on a clothing item such as a shirt, a backing board is placed within the shirt so as to underlie the shirt fabric to which the design will be applied. A bracket is placed over the shirt and engages a peripheral portion of the backing board in a manner causing the shirt fabric to be stretched over the backing board and to clamp a portion of the shirt between the bracket and the backing board. A screen pattern bearing a printed outline pattern thereon is removably placed in register within the bracket. Fabric markers or fine-tipped fabric paint bottles are utilized to apply a fabric paint or like substance through the screen pattern onto the underlying portion of the shirt to re-create the printed pattern. The screen pattern may be removed from the bracket to check on progress of creation of the wearable art, and replaced without any misalignment between the printed pattern and the previously painted portions of the wearable art design. When completed, the graphics system is disassembled and removed from the shirt.
