Bleached T-shirts

“I put newspaper and on top of that wax paper under each shirt, well, inside each shirt. The wax paper was right under the top layer of the shirt, so the bleach would not bleed through. I grabbed a piece of chalk and tried to draw a design. But stretched out shirts and chalk do not go well together, so I had to abandon that idea. Instead, I decided to be bold (or impatient) and draw freehand with the bleach pen!

I let the bleach sit for about 10-15 minutes on each shirt, watching as the colors were changing and when I liked what I saw, I washed the bleach off under running water. When all the shirts were done, I put them in the washer, and that’s it. They have a bit of a hippie look, because they look washed out and shapeless, but it looks like it is on purpose.”
