Here's a look at some of the things that have been keeping me busy over the last couple of weeks. I've done a couple of experiments dyeing with bleach, and this is the first thing I'm making from the results. It sounds silly, but it was exciting to see what would happen when I dipped the fabric! The colors were totally unexpected. I thought I would see lighter browns or creams, but reds and corals turned out instead.
I've also been playing around with beads and thread. I spent a couple of hours making beads from clay, just like I did when I was a kid. I'm still waiting on some supplies to arrive in the mail before I finish up this project.

The colour is amazing! And it looks like your going to use it an awesome way too
Those colours turned out so vibrant! Much better than my 1990s attempts at bleaching denim haha
That is so unusual, the way it turned out. I like it! Your sewing skills are enviable!
Oh neat! I love how painterly the whole effect is; I would have never thought that dipping the fabric in bleach would have resulted in such a fantastic range of hues. Beautiful!
