Finally Showing Finished Shibori Crafts


I was looking through my "pictures for my blog" and came across my dress, that used to be a bright white, and my husband's shirt which started out black.

Now before I start I want to say that I'm one of those lucky people who have their head up in the clouds pretty much all the time. I bought a flannel shirt with a Carebear sitting on clouds quoting,"Get off of my cloud!"

The dress came out without a hitch. I would have liked the dress a deeper blue, but this will do for now. Later on, I will dye it again and it will be like I went shopping! But I have the gist of it and still have half the blue dye left.

I dyed 3 shirts altogether. Two were mine and one was my husbands. I had used some bleach I had already and it did it's thing taking out the color and I liked it. I like the never the same pattern concept.

With Chuck's shirt, however, I had bought some more bleach at the Family Dollar store. I saw concentrated on the bottle, but nothing clicked as far as I was concerned it was just bleach.

So I pour in the bottle, wrap rubber bands where I wanted it to not dye and put the prepared T-shirt in the bleach. The shirt started losing color immediately so I take the shirt out, gave it a good rinse telling my husband about how fast the color came out this time around.

I was at the kitchen sink and husband must of googled about bleach and found out that the bleach companies is selling bottles of bleach concentrated to save plastic.

Bout time I said and the mystery solved.

Crafting Shibori Looks Fun #FixThePlus *



Today has been quite the eventful day at least

from my perspective.

And it's not over yet.

Went to see Susan, my counselor this morning. I

really love that woman she is so much like me.

We have a lot in common which is always nice.

I have come a long way since February when I first started seeing her.

I loved what she was wearing so she introduced me to the wonderful world of shibori which I cannot wait to try out!

That's next on my craft list.

From what I understand, it's economical and easy.

Right up my alley for I have this glaring white cotton dress I'm 'dying' to try out!

Will let ya know for sure.

I just finish the American Community Survey so now I'm free for the more fun stuff.

So I got a new person to add on Facebook so I'd better get to that before I lose the piece of paper. Bye for now.

What do you like as a craft?
