A black back to school tee with two yellow pencils painted from fingerprint dots over distressed light blue stripes, great for teachers and students.
The story behind this design
Two classic yellow pencils stand side by side on this black tee, one pointing up and one pointing down, each built from dozens of round, thumbprint-like dabs of paint. Their pink erasers, silver ferrules, and tan wooden tips are formed the same way, giving them a handmade, crafty texture. Behind them, five wide horizontal stripes in pale sky blue are roughed up with a distressed, chipped finish. There is no text at all, just bold shapes and cheerful color. It feels playful and artsy, like a project hung on a classroom wall.
Who it's for
Made for an elementary art teacher who has guided countless kids through fingerprint painting and still loves the mess. The dotted texture on each pencil will feel familiar to her class. Wear it on the first day back, or give it to a teacher as a welcome-back present.
