Wonderful choice of inspiration this week Stef! I loved the graphic pop of the site and found lots on the AIGA Design Archives. I simply couldn't resist a bike trek. Come adventuring with me!
I thought it would be fun to create a {T} shirt, 'cause on the organized rides, t's are something they hand out frequently. My shirt was hand drawn on vellum and then cut. I stamped the sentiment by William Least Half Moon on the vellum with Brilliance Black and dried with a heat tool. The bicycle is from 100 Proof Press...inked with VersaMark and embossed with red ep. I laid the {T} shirt over the bike and hung it on the 'wall' with one of Tim's clothes hangers. I added a tiny bit of Washi Tape with the month Sept and year 2015 circle. My bike is this gorgeous Celeste green color with a red leather seat. My Italian wheels...
I want to do another rather large ride next year and who wants to go with me????
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you on the trail/road/mountain!

Gosh! Susan this is stunning .... you never fail to amaze me with your creative take on the inspiration piece. No playing for me though as I am off to London - to a craft show.

So creatively done, just fabulous, I LOVE your vellum t-shirt!
Just wondering - I don't see IC436 in the Inspiration Challenge forum - is it there, or is it just me that can't find it?

Fabulously creative! I love the sentiment, so very true, and I'm a big fan of graphic t-shirts.
As for the ride, maybe my DSS would like to go - he's big into biking and competes in several events, including the Hotter'N Hell 100. Me, I'm just happy to coast!
