Bleach Dye T-Shirt - Part 2

Sometimes my ideas look great in my head, great on paper, and then go terribly wrong.

Case in point - Rock On onesie.

Looks great on paper...

Nicely planned



But something went terribly wrong and I ended up with an angry cassette tape.


I'm pretty sure the issue was that my bleach mixture was too thin. The other issue was that I decided, because it was a more detailed design than the first project, to use paint brushes instead of the Clorox pen. The application was all wrong and I ended up going back to the pen but couldn't get the definition I was looking for. And I could see the bleach bleeding into the fabric so I was trying to work fast.

Maybe I can find an 80's rocker wig for Ian and he can be a rock star for Halloween.



Props for the big smile go to Daddy on this picture.
He was up on the roof cleaning the gutters in preparation for Hurricane Irene!


Maybe third time's a charm with the bleach pen project.
I think I'll invest $2.50 in a new pen and see if I get better results.

Stay tuned!
