CHANTELLE TIBBS: We have the patches and the designs on the patches but we also have paint applied to the shirt which I decided to do here and there just to give it that extra artistic kind of made--hand-made feel. GRACE FRAGA: Yes. CHANTELLE TIBBS: And I chose white for the paint color because it matches the patches. Again, it's just aesthetically pleasing. You don't have to use white or any kind of specific paint but when you're thinking about which--what you want to apply to your shirt, you can think about it. So, these two matched and there you go. That's the finished--that's where two meets three. GRACE FRAGA: Great and here you used a different type of marker, you used a fabric marker? CHANTELLE TIBBS: This one's a fabric marker pen, yeah. GRACE FRAGA: It looks--it has a different look. It has more of a--it's a lighter look than the paint. CHANTELLE TIBBS: Yeah, it is a lighter look.
