yesterday i did a BooBoo and splashed some chlorine bleach onto my denim skirt
Not a lot but enough to spoil and mark it.
Do i throw it away or rescue it? RESCUE IT
I lay the skirt out on the table and sandwiched some paper between the the front and back. Next i poured a small amount of bleach into a pot and then grabbed a cotton bud and a small art brush and set to work.
I dipped the cotton bud into the bleach and created flowers and leaves climbing up the damaged panel, then useing the brush i painted in stems and twirly bits and left it all to dry. ten minutes later the bleach had done its work and i was left with white work on the blue denim.
Right next step wash it to remove the bleach.... once dry i returned with it to the table and again placed paper between the front and back of the skirt
Now the fun begins. Useing Pro markers and Sharpies in several colores i began to fill in the white bleached design.
Finally i ironed the design to set the colors.
This morning i wore the skirt ot go out in and had several comments from friends on it. one woman asked me where i had purchased it from and was amazed when i told her what i had done. She is going to find a p[air of jeans and have a go at personalising them.
here is the result of my BooBoo.
It actuall looks better than this as you can see the veins in the leaves and fine detail on the petals
I am going to experiment with some cheap childrens felt pens by putting them into a chlorine bleach solution and removing the color and then using them to draw designs onto plain cotton fabric for quilting. it will save money.
We've all had some boo-boo lu-lu's.
I light a Cig, and the dang fire fell out of it right on the side of the lower left breast. almost under the arm, so I am trying to figure out what small
design I can put it does have roses on it and say Vintage across the top.
so I was thinking a Small rose bud in the same color of the Roses in the front! the roses are not done in thread though, they are a spray on seed like frosted like beads. but I am thinking a Tiny white Rose bud can still be added. what the hay, it is better than a finger tip whole! and it is one of my favorite T-Shirts.
