Working on another stain....

​Well that sucks! When I pulled my shirt out of the wash there was this bleach mark all over it from the detergent I guess?

My solution to these sorts of problems is to paint it.



​I'm going to try a tie-dye type effect and see how it turns out.

​Worst case scenario it's garbage either way.

LOL People who know me know that I'm a bit of a crazy girl and I "MacGyver" things a lot to figure out a way to get stuff done.

​This is the shirt that I have tie dye painted.

I left it in a bucket overnight and now I want to sort of drip dry it a bit before I untie it but I don't want to get the paint drips everywhere so I decide to hang it from the palm tree over the garden and then the drips can go in there.

After it drips for a while I will unravel it and put it on a hanger and hang it up there to continue to dry where any dripping won't mark any important surfaces.

​​My plan to cover the bleach mark definitely worked although the overall pattern is a little lacking in my opinion.

​I think I will let this dry then lay it out and pour a little more paint on it. My plan is to make the yellow "pop" more and to add a bit more color on the bottom part.

​​Continuing to work to make this piece just right. The story began with a bleach mark on my top so I decided to tie dye paint it. The left image is how it looked when I unraveled it. Not too thrilled with the results so I took it down into the garden, laid it out on the ground and proceeded to pour more paint over it. While it was wet I twisted it up, wrung out the excess moisture then put it on a hanger and hung it from the palm tree to finish drying.

​Much happier with the results now (right side).

So from a wrecked shirt to a fun, new style.
