It's Never Too Late to Transform Dyed Fabric!

Last month I was experimenting with ice bleaching a piece of dark purple linen/polyester fabric. The final result didn't impress me much, so I decided to dye it black and then bleach dye it again. The result was more than satisfactory, and I really liked the combination of different colors which give it more depth to the fabric. I am very excited to make something from it. It's never too late to transform your fabric, just try it!

Drawing with Bleach

Today, I would like to present a little tutorial on how to draw with bleach. I posted some final pictures in my previous post and now I would like to show you the whole process. I used a 50/50 water and bleach solution in his case. As you draw, you can see the strokes of bleach turn from black to a golden orange hue. Be aware, this technique has to be done in small pieces of fabric. If you leave the bleach on the fabric for too long before washing, it can damage the fabric. Practice before using this method on the actual garment. Work fast and efficiently.

Nature Inspiration

I was always inspired by nature. Fall is beautiful, with its rich colors and rustling leaves above and on the ground. My youngest daughter and I decided to pick up some leaves just for fun, and I thought that I can use them for a future dyeing project. So here we go...
