DIY Bleach Pen with Stencil

Alright people if you haven't tried the DIY bleach pen designs on your clothes yet then you are missing out! I have seen some DIY's on the internet that walk you step by step through the process, this is not that blog...not for sheer laziness on my part. Not exactly, I would be lying if I didn't admit that to be a contributing factor, the full truth is that it is just so easy a full tutorial would seem offensive to your intellect. ;-) 

Pretty huh! Simply lay your stencil down(work in a well ventilated space folks) on your dark cotton fabric, make sure you put some cardboard in-between your fabric so it doesn't bleed, stipple and smear till you see full coverage, pull stencil straight up carefully and viola! If your impatient like me you'll have a blow dryer handy so you can see the results even faster! 

I told you easy and with some WOW factor!

My awesome stencil from hobby lobby, love that place!

A little free hand action on my leggings.

Sorry for the un-edited pictures, thats the sheer laziness kicking in... I'm a busy mama, what can I say. Hope you enjoyed this "tutorial", if you need more then what I offer (I wont hold it against you) then check out this gal... Also I have yet to try this but I guess you can make your own bleach pen, the name brand stuff is pricey and goes fast, especially if your like me and start bleaching everything in site!

Evolution of Craft

For sometime now Dylan and I have crafted together, it's an important part in both our lives. We sew, paint, collage, write, sing and make things; jewelery at this

very moment...but who knows what it will Evolve to...

Most recently our sewing/disaster craft zone has evolved into a studio! We are still in the process, currently working on it during non river hours. Here it is in its current state of disarray...simply beautiful...so much potential to Create!

The sewing room has been taken over by beads, leather, metal and feathers...colorful chaos!

The clever new bead rack made from a metal futon frame and hung on the wall.

This is my most recent creation, I'm loving golds and coppers right now. I think it has something to do with summer all the golden hues in these California hills.

I'll update the studio shots as soon as the room comes together, our biggest hurdle will be working with what we have, we look forward to the challenge!

It's been a long minute but...

We are back! That was a hiatus of sorts, creativity is flowing the sun is shining and this duo is ready to dive head first back into the blogging world! This time around our posts will be weekly until the demand is made to be...dare I say it...DAILY...lets just focus on weekly for now. Dylan and I have been on a jewelery kick as of late and are very much looking forward to sharing our work with you, and the evolution of our craft/design space. So stay tuned for pictures of our creations and some DIY...see you soon!
