I've seen some stunning works done on plain black fabric, with a paint brush and gel bleach. Funnily enough, over here it's a toilet bleach that works best, it's a nice thick gel that doesn't "bleed" into other areas, it stays where it's put with a fine paintbrush.
The fabric is washed afterwards, so the bleach shouldn't weaken the fabric, it only strips the colour and is then removed. :-) |
Love it!

That is absolutely stunning. I love what you did. My kind of art quilt.

That's awesome!

I keep coming back to this picture and the ideas and inspirations are numerous!!! WOW!!! :D :D :D |
Thanks Moonpi, will check it out....Blue Chicken I like the toilet bleach idea, sounds like you would have much more control over the process and less scope for disaster...my family think I am mad enough already, once I start heading off outside with plastic dropsheets, toilet bleach, paintbrush and fabric, that will no doubt confirm it!
