I figured the acetone couldn't possibly damage the color any further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-699188 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 03:38:46 +0000 deb 699188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great.

I was so fearful I'd end up with a streaky mess...</p> <p>IK, that actually wasn't a tear, but a wad of... something. I'm going with gum, because that's the least horrifying. I attacked it with acetone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-699036 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:34:32 +0000 Jaime 699036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am filled with admiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-699033 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:32:22 +0000 ironkurtin 699033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love this!

I love the colors and it's so fresh and unexpected to have the darker color on top. Amazing rescue--how did you get rid of the gum stain? You and Claire should open up a handbag hospital and sell your refurbished dyed handbags! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698923 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:06:39 +0000 Anonymous 698923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very impressive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698809 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:37:38 +0000 fern 698809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so impressed - I love the ombre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698722 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:24:05 +0000 jayne 698722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooo so cool effect and colors....ombre fabness! I just ordered some dyes in bordeaux to change a pair of booties from brown to ..well...bordeaux...you are master! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698707 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:09:07 +0000 Jonesy 698707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are sooo talented!

But not only does the stain bother me, it's also not a color that I really seem to reach for, even though I thought I might like it in the summer. Maybe this is a call to dye it... Ooh, maybe burgundy...</p> <p>Thanks for giving me ideas! Congrats on a DIY well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698617 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:55:05 +0000 Ornella 698617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!!! </p> <p>And - aren't our old teachers the best!

I know there were some who thought DIYing a MJ bag was a bad idea, but I went for it because this particular style is only moving for what I'd have to put into it to refurbish professionally.</p> <p>Mochi - I know! I know our things are there to be used, but geez...</p> <p>Anna, it came out better than I expected, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698603 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:35:45 +0000 annagybe 698603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome.

Was the previous owner crazy? Anyway, you did an awesome job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698593 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:19:25 +0000 Anonymous 698593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW AWESOME!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/meet-el-ombre#post-698580 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:04:19 +0000 Mochi 698580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh!
