I wanted a larger image of the Eiffel Tower for a
project and decided I was going to try something
different... Hmmm... I wonder how well you
can draw with a bleach pen?
(bleach pen about $5 - already had Eiffel rubber stamp
for basic image $0 )
It took some practicing on scraps of denim.
(my first attempt looked more like an oil derrick!)
Shake your pen very well.
Have light pressure when squeezing tube.
Practice Practice Practice!
I waited about 15 minutes then rinsed well,
used a little soap on it, rinsed some more...
and Voila!
A great Eiffel tower image for my handbag project!
This is one of my Treasured Memories Handbags
made for a very special lady's going away party.
The Bonjour Handbag.
Every bag I make is unique. I can use clothing
you've saved from a loved one to make a bag
that uses that fabric. Hopefully I will be selling
some handbags on Etsy soon.

and sunglasses)
This dear friend is a scrapbooker so the
scissors is a perfect "charm" for one
of her loves in life.
(back of bag has 3 pockets - the jean pocket
is perfect to slip a cell phone into)
I use various fabrics and always include
a large inside pocket with a slot for a pen.

The possibilities are endless for bleach pen art!
I just know you want to try it!!
Hope you enjoyed this project idea from
"Edie".
Til next time...
