Because I might as well let the whole world know what a nerd I am Yesterday I bought a couple of plain, v-necked, cap-sleeved t-shirts with the idea of having them printed. One, a robin's egg blue, will have the word "Editrix" in fancy font on the front. For the other, which is orange, I would like to get a swan put on the front in cream. Help me find a really cool stencil of a swan! I've found this one, which will do, but I'm wondering if I can't do better [googles madly].

I don't know what your tastes are so I won't suggest every stencil I see, but try google images for swan clipart. Also, you can take any photograph of a swan and make a b+w stencil from it - see here for the how-to. It's super easy, takes less than a minute in Photoshop.

GEEEEEEK! Great shirt ideas. :)

Thanks, iconomy! I had been searching under "swan stencil".

I like this one, but it looks like the bottom has been cut off.

I love this one, and am trying to picture how it will look. I think I'll either go with it or with the one I originally linked to.

GEEEEEEK!

Sad but true.

Why, have I set a trend?;-)

I see it in a pseudo-Gothic font, scody.

Can I get one that says "Architrix"?

Sure, if you want, but that doesn't have quite the right ring to it somehow. I don't know what the feminine form of Architect would be. How about Architette?
