reverse dying - using bleach to create patterns

While digging around on youtube finding some great videos on tie-dye and shibori techniques, I also found videos on reverse dye techniques using bleach.

I took an old large sized faded out black t-shirt and experimented.   I've been wearing the final results with lots of compliments.

 The first stage.   Did a swirl scrunch then used a roller to sweep on the bleach. Not bad.
But I decided to do it again then when i have unfolded and rinsed, I felt I needed more.   So I dug around until I found the wall decorating stuff.   Always good to repurpose things, right?



And the final results!!!!   I like it  :-)
