More T-Shirt Options: Stencils and Dishwasher Detergent

David Harris sent in some pics of tshirts he made, both are innovations of the bleach idea from my podcast. Way to go David!

So here are two shirts I made inspired by the spray bleach idea. A
couple of months ago I started getting into the whole stencil art
thing and I had made several out of strong paper, after a couple coats
of spray paint these things will hold up to most anything -- including
bleach it seems.

The first is a stencil of my wife -- using sprayed bleach.

The second, i brushed on cheap-ass knock off cascade over the stencil
and left it on for 15-20 minutes, I like the subtle globbiness of it.

Excellent idea with the dishwasher detergent! I've been playing with bleach for years but never thought of trying that. I will be, soon . . .

Very cool, I really like the result of using the dishwashing liquid - reminds me of http://www.instructables.com/id/E4P8NGNMNXEQ6T2C6M/ in which discharge paste - http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1574-AA.shtml- was used.
