The Entrepreneur Challenge: I am a part of all that I have met

I made a few shirts in honor of Kennesaw Mountain's beloved theatre teacher, Edward Deavers, as part of a project in my Graphic Arts class back in May of this year. 

The quote on the front is from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem, Ulysses. Mr. Deavers used to often include that phrase in his discussions that I would give anything to hear again.

"I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life. Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this grey spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought."


Those first few shirts are all gone now, but on facebook a lot of people have been asking where they can find more! I decided to go ahead and make more so everyone can get one who wants one. Here are the originals!


I was able to make a bag too!

The new shirts will be one color. I like the way the black and white looks, but I feel that Mr. Deavers would appreciate the royal purple dye so I will go with the white. I will make between 50 - 100 so comment, send me a message or let me know on facebook if you want one! They shouldn't be more than $10. A lot of these t-shirt companies I'm looking at are really expensive!

Here I am making the FIRST batch of shirts ;)




I'll be sure to keep you updated! Just wanted to go ahead and let you know this is in the works in case you want some. I think this will easily, easily take up all of my $100 for the E Challenge. It's worth it though! Anything for Ed!
