Practical Application of a WoRmECYCLE Acquired Skill

Logo wear is expected attire at promotional events, and we are exhibiting at the Earth, Water & Faith Festival (http://www.visitatc.com/earth-water-and-faith-festival) at the Annapolis Towne Center on Sunday, May 1st. However, the idea of spending WoRmECYCLE's Kiva-destine proceeds on expensive labeled attire undermines our professional philosophy and insults our personal style sensibilities. WoRmECYCLE experience presented an alternate solution: Citrasolv transfers, a fun, creative process learned from one of our customers on our compost rounds. Ten dollars bought 4 appropriately sized shirts at our local thrift store. We scanned our own compost related sketches into the computer and spent about another $1.50 on laser copies of line art and inverted text. A sponge to apply the cleaning fluid, spoon to burnish/encourage transfer, and we had personally designed, Earth Day appropriate logo wear to sport at our event. Thank you Sandra for teaching us this creative way to upcycle clothes.
