On black fabric you get a beautiful sunset of orange colours come from nowhere as the bleach takes to the fabric

This is a very quick process & super cheap. All you need is a black cotton T-shirt & the basic cheap bleach from your local super market & a paint brush. I put the t-shirt onto a old sheet of plastic making sure to put a plastic bag inside the shirt so the front does not touch the back. This is so the bleach dosn't travel to the back of the shirt. Wear safety glasses so you don't splash bleach in your eyes. Use the bleach neat & paint on your design, try to be fast so it dosnt over develop & damage the fabric. As soon as you have finished leave it to soak for 1 hour in a bucket of water then wash in the machine.

Native Indian Inspired Ghost Chair Crafted By Melanie Dann

Im in to American indian art style at the moment & have teamed that up with my love for skulls. I love the striking images & symbolic patterns & the way a picture tells a story & makes a statement.  

I used a basic wood framed chair & wrapped it with a black & tie dyed fabric. The seat of the chair i hand painted with a native indian skull with head dress of feathers. I used stars & a moon to depict the night & the circle represents the circle of life. I call this "Ghost Chair".

This is the chair when covered in fabric, i also liked it just like this hung on a wall

I loved the grain of colour from this wood bowl. It has a real light patch that i took advantage of by painting a moon & stars so it looks light a moon lit sky
