Curling ATeeCs

I made this set of ATCs as part of a Nerd Games challenge to create a project inspired by an Olympic sport.

While watching (an obscene amount of) curling during the Milano/Cortina games, I was struck by the overhead shot of the rings of the house and decided to work with that. I don’t remember how I got to T-shirts, but whatever.

The backgrounds are woven strips of scrap paper (dent in the scrap drawer: negligible). The shirts are from a gelli print and the circles from a coloring book. I added some stitching to represent the T line.

There were going to be three ring shirts, but despite having a template and using a compass, I could not get the third set of circles to match the others to save my life :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:. So that card became a title card.

Thanks for sweeping – uh, looking!

Is it weird that these make me want to yell “Hurry hard!”? The stitched details are a fun little bit of texture.

I find I kind of want to yell “line!”, so no. Or yes, but we’re weird together.

These look really cool! They’re graphic, but then you can find more little details in the construction to draw you in.

We did curling in gym class when I was a kid in northern Alberta, Canada. Now I live in AZ where most people have no idea what curling even is…

I love that you used a coloring book. It’s the perfect complement.
