OCT - NOV Challenge - Glow in the Dark!

[LinkIsMyHomeboy]

When's the actual deadline for this? The end of this month is flooded with homework, papers, test, and surgery, I don't think I'm gonna finish by the end of this month for sure.

November 30th would be my guess. You've got the rest of October and all of November.

Exactly that!

That's the crest motif in glow thread, right? It's awesome!

Thank you! It is indeed. I tried to do the outline and everything, but the backstitching didn't glow enough to be seen so I ended up taking it out. It was really frustrating to work with sewing thread but well worth the effort.

It looks really really good! I just got into UV resin and I have a uv light I'm going to try and see if it will glow under that...maybe I can get some better pics of mine. I would also try a black light....maybe the glow thread will show up under that too?

My brother and I had some fun ages ago holding various light effects threads under a uv light - if I remember right the fluorescent effects worked best but I think the glow thread did show up a bit too. Definitely worth a try though!

I have a pattern that would be well suited to the flourescent colors! I think I shall have to stitch it now and go get a cheap black light.... by the way there is a cheap blacklight at Wal-Mart in the lighting section... I think its a 27 inch one for only 15 bucks just so you guys know.

I've gotten pretty sick lately, landed a job interview I need to prepare for and am still working and in school so my entry is... still a work in progress.
Since we have til the end of Nov. I'm hoping I'll be able to finish but if not I am really enjoying seeing what everyone is doing with this.

Black lights - fluorescents will work the best, white will also light up. Remember not to sit under these for longer than a few minutes as they put out UV light and can cause sunburns.
