Very neat. I saw someone on TV using a gel bleach to write on a shirt. It stayed where they put it and made a very clear line. After seeing your jeans, I am going to look to see if I can find the gel bleach. I'm thinking you could put it any squeeze bottle. An old glue bottle or hair colour bottle? I am thinking of trying it on fabric. Your watch band is very cute too!
I made some shirts with my 10yr old daughter. We used strait bleach with some Q-tips to draw whatever we wanted. I also used blue painters tape to put a design and used my household spray bleach cleaner around it (like a stencil). Both ideas turned out really well! Tips: we put cardboard in between layers to keep it from bleeding through and give the bleach time to work, it will get lighter after a few minutes. If you get impatient you'll end up with it getting lighter than you wanted.

Love the feathers on the jeans! I remember doing something like that for my daughters many, many years ago when they wanted to by a brand of jeans that ran bleached trails on their jeans and sold them for HUGE amounts of money. I refused to purchase the expensive jeans but recreated them myself. Yours are beautiful. Wear them with pride!
