note: Only use in a well ventilated area, cover skin and try not to inhale. It will be easier to tape the tissue to some stiff paper or card using masking tape so it stays secure. I like to use an old paint brush and some twigs or a sharpened pencil as a tool to draw and paint with the bleach, thinking with water or using neat bleach for a clear effect. It really is a lovely, atmospheric technique. Tip:- for old brush after every few dips of bleach rest brush in some water as the bristles will eventually disappear. Experiment by using thin and thick bleaches, also different brands work differently as well as different brands of tissue paper.
