T-Shirt Giveaway: Vote for a Chance to Win Your Favorite Design!

by 35 Comments

You asked for T-Shirts:

Readers of my books, especially those who enjoy Understanding Cemetery Symbols, keep asking me to create T-shirts using photos I take in historic graveyards. And while it’s fun creating mock up designs in Canva.com, it’s intimidating. I’ve had no idea how to actually manufacture the T shirts – until now!

[Disclosure: I’m receiving free T-shirts for including a link to CreateAShirt in this post!]

Memento Mori photos & designs (c) Tui Snider
Memento Mori photos & designs (c) Tui Snider

Enter CreateAShirt.com

The other day I got an email from CreateAShirt.com. They offered to print out some shirts for me in exchange for linking to their site, as I just did in the previous sentence. Pretty cool, eh?

I could use your advice

Here’s where you come in! I’ve got a TON of potential T-shirt designs, but I’m not sure which one to choose. I’ve narrowed the selection down to four of my favorite “Memento Mori” designs, but I can’t quite make up my mind…

Win one of the T-Shirts!

I could really use your opinion. Which of the following designs would you want to wear on a T-shirt? After you vote using the poll below, leave a comment on this blog post. As a thank you,  on 12/16/2017 I will choose three lucky people to receive one of the finished T-shirts. How fun is that?

Vote for ONE of the following designs:

 

Memento Mori photos & designs (c) Tui Snider
Memento Mori photos & designs (c) Tui Snider

Why “Memento Mori”?

As historic cemetery buffs may know, “Memento Mori” is Latin for “Remember you must die.” This grim phrase was a common epitaph back in the day! Now, it makes an interesting conversation starter. For example, you might want to wear it when you visit a friend who has a “Live, Love, Laugh” poster in their kitchen. Times certainly have changed, haven’t they?

PLACE YOUR VOTE BELOW – deadline 12/14/17:

Which T-shirt design should I print?

  • 2. Praying Angel (34%, 11 Votes)
  • 1. Hand of God (22%, 7 Votes)
  • 3. Gazing Angel (22%, 7 Votes)
  • 4. Kiss of Death (22%, 7 Votes)

Total Voters: 32
