Experimenting with bleach Part 1.

Like any cautious D.I.Y-er, I did my research and tried a sample from Lax's old jeans before jumping in the deep end with my bleached jeans project inspired by seaofghosts.com. The sample went swimmingly. So you can imagine my surprise when my jeans turned out like this:

Salmon - RED!!! 

(This is completely unrelated but when we were last in Melbourne, Centine and I ate a pizza called "salmon rushdie". Hilarious!!)

My second attempt with a different pair of jeans was a little less of a shock, and in my opinion a more successful outcome. Just goes to show what the individual denim can make. Now that I have no black jeans left, I am on the lookout for some more cheap ones. I am determined to get the desired finish, like in my first sample.

DIY jeans worn with old Pixies t-shirt, vintage gold embroidered bolero and 70's brogues.
