The Apollo DSKY Luminescent T-Shirt Project!

Could this process be repurposed as framed wall art? Actually have a friend for whom I'd spend $200 or so for that (and it'd be ok to pm me about it).

That s one amazing shirt. Took a while to work through the video, but I loved every minute of it. What a process! Great job! Love the paint mixer, and wow a shirt press too! Thanks

Hey, Fran! Thanks for the cool "Franswag." Not sure what I'll do with it, but it's pretty cool.

That pretty much sums up arts and crafts. If you go to a professional fibre/textile artist you pay about double minimum wage plus a premium for the "Name" for one off pieces. If you hang out your shingle, on the other hand, people expect you to work for pennies an hour.

So each shirt would cost like $150 if you made these for a profit. Great job and video explaining the process!

But you removed the video? Oh, well, as I usually wear overalls, a tee shirt is a little pointless for me.

I hope Bonfire can do the luminus ink, then we can all have one.

Oh my do I want ... I dabbled a bit in glow-int-the-dark stuff ( http://www.jasondoesitall.com/2012/08/glowing-tool-handles/ ) and when you add the cachet of the DSKY, I just can't resist it ...

A small step for Fran... https://wetransfer.com/downloads/6ed524b41e92308e9f8a0207020ca61920190530084103/d8207f16743d8c6a0daaa2d59d88921b20190530084103/6e1495

Great video of an involved process to make something special. I’m glad you got a unique item out of your “moon shot” work! A fabulous DSK-Tee :-) Ewen

Please everybody repost your comments on YouTube - I had to edit the original video and repost it to publish....

FranDSKY? T-DSKY? DSKY-T? I'm stuck on the possible names for this wondrous thing.

Shutup and take my money! Love it. Takes a special kind of geek to appreciate it - can't wait. Have you considered printing that on the back and a smaller "franlab" NASA on the left breast on the front? That would be beyond awesome

Fred Niell

Wow, that was a process, but it was worth it! Looks awesome!!

Well done Fran the shirt looks excellent. Not part of the project but inserting a few flashing leds run from a button battery would add even more realism .

Haven’t had time to watch the video yet, but if you’re selling a DSKY t-shirt, I’m in!

Fred Patton

Fabulous! One small step further: call it 'Dramatic Moment', and fill in the registers with all the correct numbers that appeared when Buzz called out 'contact light!'...only us Apollo geeks would understand. Really good work!

Now you just have to make it work. ;-) It would be lovely if you could customize the display. Like you could have different authentic states, or spell out words in seven segment alphabet characters.

Waaaaah - love it!!!
