How did you get the vinyl to contour to the helmets. heat stretch? just curious is all.
Yea, on some of the designs I do a wet application but most of these I lay very carefully and sometimes in pieces.

Great designs and I love the names.
Thanks!

I would love the revolvers as well. My sons mother is big into cowboy mounted shooting and I know I could use this.
And that horse shoe as well if you dont mind. I really like that.
I'm still new on here. How can send it to you?

Those look like Roller Derby helmets. We have a team here, loads of fun to watch.
Yep! I play roller derby and specialize in roller derby helmets and shirts.

Ohh I wish I was that fancy. It's a crappy photo taken with my iphone so it's very pixalated. It's a bright red decal.
Thats greenstar? Why does it look like it has metal flake in it? Did you shoot flake and then clear over it?

Yep! It's the GreenStar starter vinyl that came with the Graphtec, http://www.uscutter.com/index/page/product/product_id/1897/category_id/3/product_name/Graphtec+CE5000+Series+Vinyl+Cutter+Equipment+Bundle
You said in your other post your using the vinyl that came with your cutter? Happen to know the brand and series of vinyl your using?

Very slow using wet application with a soft squeegee... and of course it takes a few tries.
Cool, how do you get it to lay flat around the curves without wrinkles and bubbles?

Thanks! I used some low quality vinyl my that my cutter came with. I did a wet application. Took me a few tries to get it just right.
what kinda vinyl are you using to curve like that....looks awesome

Sure. I drew if from a shirt but happy to share. Should I email it to you?
willing to share that revolver artfile?

I didn't use heat. I'm still new. How would I use heat to help contour? Blow dryer?
With a little heat you can get any decent vinyl to follow a contour like that although Cast works the best for contours.

Thanks! One of my first jobs at the age of 16 was working in sign shop and I loved it so much I continued to work at other shops while in school for the digital arts. 11 years later I started Sticky Pie. I'm almost a year in and its been super fun. Those sunglasses were a gift and she loved them!
I have a 24" Graphtec CE5000-60 and its pretty amazing
