Online stores are definitely a brilliant invention, but when buying clothes in them there is always a risk that the photographer will be several times higher than the designer's skill or tailor. It happened this time. Cooking in front of the mirror in the new clothes, I realized that it was unlikely that I would hardly: she reminds me of a medical bathrobe.
I generally have a difficult attitude towards white things. I love them and even periodically buying. But after that, they, as a rule, hang in the closet in advanced dead cargo. This shirt was waiting for a different fate. First, it is from natural flax, and I adore him. And secondly, I wanted to play with the paints.
The shirt came to me late in the evening, so I took at night for work.
- What did you start? - the husband asked, seeing familiar unhealthy shine in my eyes.
- I will paint as it is - I don't know yet. I'll start, and there will be visible.
- Napoleon! - the husband grinned.
- Do you think he was a special painting of rags? - I doubted.
"No," the husband laughed, "it's just his words."
M-yes, here he is unconscious plagiarism. I always believed this motto to my :)
I'll say right away, I'm not a master in dying (so, several times painted rags, yarn and knitted pieces, in order to fit them to the desired shade). But it did not interfere with me at every opportunity to increase your paint stocks. I prefer the paints of cold dyeing, all these steaming is not for me - too long and vigorously.
Well, ahead? I soaked a shirt in a basin with warm water.
The table was shy film. Divaled paints in disposable containers. 1 - dark brown, 2 - olive-green, 3 - green-turquoise and 4 - a mixture of turquoise-blue and blue.
Rubaku raised from the basin for the collar so that when annealing it turned out a harness along the length of the entire shirt (with pressed sleeves). So distributed it along the entire length in the containers. A little felt the fabric from one container in another to mix the colors (here I was getting drunk and forgot about the photo, but it does not matter, because the process later repeated - show below). I rinsed to clean water, hung dry and went to pour the remaining paint. And then I was invented by the toad, because there were many paints. What else would you quickly paint in it? I remembered that Boro discussed a few days ago.
For those who, like me, managed to somehow skip such beauty: Boro is the Japanese art of patches. Practical Japanese generations Latali their clothes, as a result, very interesting textile samples were obtained, which are not at all cheap. Discussing, we decided that for a good boro, the flaps of old jeans are needed and, preferably, satin family briefs of the Soviet sample (for softness and beauty :) But as it's easier to find the kimono of Edo era than Soviet family girls, my embodiment Boro temporarily slowed down. And so: the idea again surfaced.
I took the first rags under the arm. They turned out to be three types of cotton flaps 70-80 centimeters wide and different lengths: a piece of old sheets, sewing and rigged fabric (something like a dense warmer). I froze them in the water, I pressed and painted in turn.
That fabric that in the photo, remained white, moves first in the brighter paint, then in the darker (white arrows in the photo). You need to start with brighter, so as not to wash your hands once again and do not instruct the paints of dark spots on the light-colored fabric (do not forget about rubber gloves). So, between cuvettes, the fabric is painted with the effect of the gradient. The shirt painted similarly.
The painted piece cautiously (again, so that in light parts do not instruct dark spots), it took out to the substituted film and then thoroughly rinsed.
The paints are still still a lot, but to scour home and, accordingly, wake home for "what else to paint" in five in the morning I didn't have enough conscience. Therefore, he conducted an experiment with what was at hand - with a thickener. And at hand I had a guar gum (shoot me - I can't remember why I have it), but in general you can use any concentration substance (type gelatin or starch).
I poured the gum into containers, stirred and got a thick kissel. Tied with a brush in its flasks. This did not play a special role, but in general the color is a promising one, later I will return to him.
The shirt and the flaps dried and sad.
Poppers narrowed - cut 3-7 cm wide and arbitrary lengths. It is important to remove the scraps of the threads and make something like a short smooth fringe, otherwise after the first washing, the light bohemility of our shirt threatens to turn around a heavy homeless style.
And then everything is completely simple: even the ski ability is not needed, it is enough to be able to conceive a thread into the needle. Arbitrarily laid out and noted on the shirt strips of the fabric.
Over two nights, the patch ribbed threads Muline. It only sounds serious - "Boro", and in fact the usual duct. Move back and forth on the equity and transverse directions of the dotted line and try not to pull the cloth. That's what kind of beauty I got.
I ordered another such such a shirt - all the ideas did not fit this.
Thanks for attention :)
