The only purpose of the before picture is to show that I changed it from a crew neck into a scoop neck.
I found a pattern online and used tracing paper to transfer part of the design to the shirt, then filled in the rest freehand by looking back and forth between the design and the shirt.
Can you tell that it's supposed to be two peacocks? The next step would be to get a peacock feather and make a pin. Anyway, I liked the idea of just doing the sleeves because this is as close as I will ever get to tattoos. The bleach pen was pretty easy to use and that was something else I had been wanting to try.
beautiful! what a lovely idea, and such pretty designs :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I really like the peacocks.

I love the designs! So, the bleach pen was pretty easy to use? Hmmmmmm. I might have to try a bleach pen one day ... you made it look so easy.
ReplyDeletethat is such a cool idea! I find myself drawn to plain colours, without branding or design drawing attention to my bosom! So the idea of a design on the sleeve would be just the thing!

What a good idea! I have a skirt with an accidental bleach stain on it, maybe I could work with that...?
ReplyDeleteLove how this came out! It's also on my to-try list :)
