The keys

The jacket dried overnight and I was not totally happy with the look.  It was not dark enough to contrast the key images nicely.  So I went back over it again with the denim blue rit dye.  This time blotting it with a handiwipe all around on the center panel.  I then used the toothbrush dipped in water to help blend it.  I then put it in the dryer to speed things up.

I assembled my skeleton keys, chlorox bleach pen and Dritz disappearing ink marking pen.
The bleach pen comes in so handy for projects!  It does not splatter or bleed out the way liquid bleach does.  It is thick.  There are two different tips, one on each end.  A small hole on one end and a little brush on the other end.  The tip is perfect for filling in small areas.

I layed the keys out in my design and holding it down with my finger I traced around it with the disappearing ink pen.  I then proceeded to fill in the key design with the bleach pen.  I then put it outside to dry ( sunny Florida).

Once the bleach has dried, it was powdery and I brushed it off with the toothbrush.  Of, course I thought the keys should be lighter!  So I went over it a second time with the bleach pen.  Let it dry and brushed it off.  The dried bleach has a very unique, crackled look that I really liked, but knew it would eventually brush off.

Tomorrow I will start working on the front!
