Henna-style Bleaching

When I focus on applying designs to fabric, I draw with a bleach paste freehand, using a traditional henna cone. The color of the design itself is always a surprise since each piece of fabric reacts differently to the discharge paste. The type of fabric, kinds of dyes present, dye saturation, as well as the thickness of the bleach paste layer, and length of time it’s left on the fabric all have an effect on the end result. When the paste is washed away and the fabric dried, each item is truly one of a kind, and each final color a complete surprise when the bleaching agent is washed away.

All fabric items are 100% cotton and are made in the USA by workers who are paid a living wage and are provided health care and retirement benefits by their employer.  All items have been washed and dried after decorating, and your garment will arrive to you ready to wear/use.
