These are called "Tattooed T-shirts," just one of many new techniques using Earth Safe Finishes. It began as a rust-dyed T-shirt and then I layered stenciled images on it with the top layer an experiment in applying metallic mica powder.
The detail gives a little better view of the gold powder on top of the opaque and translucent paints. After curing, it will be heat-set and then the washing tests can begin.
This isn't exactly thread related, but it will be when I start using it on art quilts with free-motion stitching on top!

Very cool!
I found your blog while looking at rust dyeing items and I loved it so much I had to comment. This t-shirt is awesome. It would make a mint where ever you decide to sell them.
Very, very nice blog as well.
