Ellen Weldon of Ellen's DIY is my favorite shirt seller on etsy.

Hands down.

My two Ellen Creations, A sweet "Sweeney Todd" Shirt, and a Dark Knight "Joker" Shirt, always get LOTS of looks and comments.

I plan to get a Custom Joker Hoodie before the snow flies, which, judging from the temps lately, could be any day now.

I'd better hold up on that bead order ;)

Ellen's work is the ULTIMATE in Fan Art, I just may have to get a second closet for all the wonderful things she has to offer that end up on my Etsy Favorite's List, and hopefully, in my purchases.
