Haha working on it! I was reading about bleach shirt stencils in MAKE magazine actually: http://makezine.com/projects/bleach-shirt-stencil/ http://makezine.com

  Bleach stencil shirts can be ridiculously beautiful. They are also, for obvious reasons, quite fragile. Temporary wearable art.

    They look cool, but man I hate the orange that bleach on black makes.

      I had some where it was bleached up to straw-yellow. Looks gorgeous ... dies pretty quickly.

        Sounds interesting - will look into ways of changing the color.

          Basically, bleach longer or use a stronger bleach (which of course makes the shirt die quicker) or pick a black that is susceptible to your bleach (requires potentially pricey experimentation). It verges on alchemy :-)

  You could use acetate, acrylic paint, plus glue to do a dyi screenprint on the run. I did this, and I have shirts that have held up 10 years :)

    Cool tip! I've honestly been thinking more about getting the schedule ironed out than merch but I'll take a look at this method.
