Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence


I want a t-shirt! And a confession....

Ok, I think the confession needs to come first.

Hello, my name is Rhana, and I have a Twilight addiction.

I read all four Twilight books in under a week. Ask my mother-in-law if you don’t believe me, she had the misfortune of being over on holiday for that exact week. I think she was lucky to get a complete sentence from me the whole time she was here!

I have indecent thoughts no 36 year old woman should have about a 24 year old. No, I am not talking about Edward. The object of my fantasy is Kellan Lutz, who plays the totally buff Emmett Cullen.

Bella… well, I simply adore her character. Aside from the whole name thing, I relate to her clumsiness, her fearlessness and courage in the face of adversity, and of course she is totally gorgeous.

I have watched the Twilight movie at least 14 times, and have a countdown installed on my mac that lets me know how long I have to wait until the New Moon movie is released in Australia.

56 days:17 hours:37minutes and 36 seconds at the current time of writing.

I make no excuses for my addiction.

It is what it is.

And… I want a t-shirt.

I suppose I could attempt to design one myself, but I am a complete novice when it comes to tees. So I am putting the call out to all the Redbubble tee designers out there interested in making a sale and the knowledge that a design of theirs will be worn with pride and love.

I would like a tee visually depicting the Twilight quote “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb”

Yeah yeah, probably the most corniest line of the whole book/movie… which is likely why I love it so much :)

The parameters: I like cartoon type designs… the cuter the better. Lovehearts will score big bonus points. It has to look good on black. It may, or may not, include the words in the quote. I also like designs that are off centre, but that’s not a biggie.

So… anyone up for the challenge? Post your designs below. There is no time limit on this one, but I think I will up up for a shopping expedition in the next couple of weeks :)

    LOL Rhana! I love your problem… I read the books in 3 days a wee or 2 ago when my internet was down (my daughter had been nagging me to for months…)
    I DID make a ‘vampire’ image in response to the books, but unfortunately for me (and you lol) it doesn’t meet your criteria of ‘the moment’ you want on your Tee, and I own up I don’t have the faintest idea how to make a Tee anyway :(
    Though – if you get a good response – there may be another buyer waiting in the wings too (my 12 yr old daughter) ;)))
    K xx

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    See, now this is what disturbs me…. does this mean I am no more mature than a 12 year old?? lol! You know what? I don’t give a toss. I am finally out of my Twilight closet!!! Yay me!!! And I saw your Twilight homage, I loved it :)

    OMG – You’re worse than the wife (yes all 4 books in under a week and the version on the website for twilight that was from his side – if you didn’t know about that then kiss goodbye to aniother 4 hours at the screen – I think it’s on her official web page).

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Ahhhh yes, you would be talking about Midnight Sun. That is like soooooo 3 months ago for me ;) Did I mention that I have just finished reading all three books for the third time?

    Hopeless? yes.

    Do I care? no.

    :))

  • Soxy Fleming

    Soxy Fleming

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Get her on the job. Toot sweet! ;)

  • Fakhruddin

    I could never get excited about a man who wears his jeans that low…....oh, hang on…..

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    I know…. (sigh)

    I KNOW!!

    And that smile…. is most definitely swoon worthy.

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    OH.

    HA.

    I just got it.

    In my defence I have had a couple of drinks tonight ;) Bit slow on the pickup :)

  • Michael Alesich

    Michael Alesich

    I’d say I’m shocked but now I’m intrigued.

    I’ll have to think up something for this.

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    does a little happy dance

    Yay! I am more excited than you could possibly ever know….

  • Stuart Chapman

    Stuart Chapman

    As I said – you are actually worse than the wife :)

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    For some reason, I don’t find that hard to believe at all… I’ve got it bad.

    This I know :)

  • DragonFlyer

    DragonFlyer

    LOL Rhana – you haven’t met THIS 12 year old going on 35 in her tiny just getting to be teenage body… I have noooo concerns about your maturity ;)))

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    I wish I had a tiny 12 year old going on 35 body. (sigh) Those were the days alright… lol

    I think I’ll give this a go. What’s the timescale? Have we got a couple of weeks or something??
    This will be slightly different to my usual stuff, but I love drawing cartoony characters. I can see a rather coi Lion giving a box of chocolates to the lamb in the hope of a date! – or something like that. Lot’s of hearts too hmm? So girly!! I bet if you had your way, you’d want glitter on there somewhere too!!!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Yep, couple of weeks Scotty. I love your ideas! And yes… I like cute and girlie. But it simply has to look good on black. I was once described by a dear departed friend as “Biker chick meets Barbie” so that might give you something to work form?

  • DragonFlyer

    DragonFlyer

    Well yes. Me too – I am sooo jealous of all these super talented photogenic young 19 yr olds who can do such wonderfully expressive and BEAUTIFUL SP work…..

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    It seems like such a long time since I have done a SP…. I need to figure out a way to hide my double chins. I’m not that good on photoshop ;)

  • Jordan Busson

    Jordan Busson

    oh dear… i read them too… should i feel guilty? well, i might design something just for fun…

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    No. No. and No. No-one should feel guilty about reading and enjoying Twilight.

    Ever.

    Ever ever ever ever ever ever EVAHHHH!!!

    Look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

  • Jordan Busson

    Jordan Busson

    oh, and i’m thinking mikoto style…

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Mikoto style? I am completely ignorant and not afraid to say so :)

  • Mel Brackstone

    Mel Brackstone

    tsk tsk :)

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    hangs her head in shame

    I know. I really should have picked up on that much quicker than I did.

    See kiddies? This is what alcohol does to your brain. Slows your reaction time and befuddles your thinking.

    JUST DON’T DRINK!!

    Cool, black tees with splashes of colour are my favourite too. LOL Biker chick meets Barbie!! I like that.
    I think the lion should be wearing a bowtie too!! Maybe thick rimmed glasses, for that extra geek look!! Heck, I might put him in a cardigan or a christmas jumper!! The lamb will look quite classy, perhaps wearing a ballet tootoo. I think by saying this will be different than my usual work is understatement of the millenium!!! Should be fun though. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Love to see those creative juices a-flowing! I do have a couple of visions in my head, but don’t really want to post them here for fear of inhibiting people’s innate creativity.

    Soxy’s faithful assistant is also 12…..I see a pattern emerging here….this young man does have quite an engaging smile though, you’re right about that….dimples and all….i’m not a fan of the fork of the jeans hanging to the knees though….................

    the first time I watched the movie it didnt do much for me at all… I thought it was too slow and I think the hype I’d heard did something to turn me off it. . . but I’ll admit to watching it many times since and enjoying it more & more each time. I myself… wanted more detail about the vampires, the family, the wolf legend so felt a bit cheated by the first movie… but all that changed when I checked out the incredible preview for the sequal.. looks nothing like the first!! Much more my cup of tea…. exciting stuff.

    And I’m ALL about good soundtracks… and there was one song in the movie that completely bewitched me… I went searching for it last week… it’s the song that plays when Edward is sucking the blood from Bella to stop her becoming a vampire. I loved it cause of it’s melodic lovely tune and that voice was so unique and entrancing!!
    So… I went searching for the artist to buy the music… and I was completely thrown off my chair when I found out it was Robert Pattinson singing the song!!! (he also sings another beautiful song on the soundtrack)
    The man should not be acting he should be in music!! I’m now eagerly awaiting for him to record an album… cause I’ve fallen not in love with him… but in love with his voice, guitar playing skills and his musical abilities.

    I mean just listening to this sends shivers up my spine every time!!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    I didn’t watch the movie for a very long time, due to its bad press. But one day there was very little left at the roadhouse video shelf that I hadn’t seen… so I caved.

    The rest as they say… is history ;)

  • robpixaday

    robpixaday

    O!
    I’ve never watched that…looks yummy though…someone will make a FABULOUS shirt for you, I’m sure!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Well I guess when it comes to addictions that is a not one to have. Could be worse

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Could always be worse… ;)

    funkyfacestudio

    You’re not alone Rhana sigh….............boy they found some handsome young men for that movie !! lucky Bella. I hear if you don’t read the books you will miss out on a lot of little things in the movie..I didn’t bother reading the books because my oldest daughter keeps telling me everything lol. I loved the last movie and the new one is coming soon yeah !
    good luck with the T-shirt :)

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    I have every intention of going to see the next movie all by myself if I have to! And yes, I think that with this movie, the books add to the overall story – while not detracting from the actual movie itself. Which is unusual for book to movie translations in my experience.

    She also keeps playing the songs to twilight, she said “edward” sings two of the tracks in the movie. I feel like such a teenager lol

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied
