A Little Girl's Wishes on blue grey long sleeves T-shirt-S/M/L

Description

STORY: Two years ago when I was waiting in the lobby of a studio with a bunch of girls for the casting of a TV commercial, there was an installment of contemporary art in the lobby. It was a puppet of a girl standing on a pile of matchboxes. I was wondering "What does it mean? Why is she standing there? Is it scary or dangerous being so high? Did she try very hard to get there?"......
I believe every woman has her own dreams from when she was a little girl. I always admire the courage which happens along the way to achieving the dreams and I also find it beautiful. That's why I created this image: a little girl climbs on the boxes and tries to reach for a star, wishing the dream will come true.
I could have drawn stars and printed it on this Tshirt, but I didn't. It wouldn't have been as interesting and elegant. Therefore, I stitched 30-40 beads on it. Trust me, it took me a while. I really hope you enjoy this idea and I hope it will be your companion as you pursue your dream.
My lovely customer-Kelly, she shared this poem with me when she bought this design for her niece. This poem captures the essence of this design. Beautiful!
William Blake poem:
I wish, I wish that I could know
The places I have yet to go,
The ways I'll change, the things I'll do,
The special dreams I'll make come true,
I wish, I wish that I could see
The life that lies ahead of me.

THE WAY I MADE IT: Silkscreen printed (in white ink) on combed cotton sheer jersey with burnout long sleeves. HAND STITCHED 30-40 white silver beads on the chest and shoulders.

THE WAY TO WASH IT:
Hand-wash it, or turn it inside-out and put it in a laundry bag to machine-wash it.
