Thanks for sharing-I LOVE your shirt. I tried to do this, but my results were no where near what your did. My shirt just kind of turned all grey, except in the spots with the rubber bands, which were just slightly darker grey. I guess the color remover works differently on different shirts (I used an adult black T from Michaels). I then tried to just tye dye a white shirt with orange, purple and lime green using your method of outlining the face of Mickey (that was a great tip). Anyway, I think that turned out pretty cute and will try to post a photo. Another idea is to tye dye a white shirt, and rubber band and tye dye as your normally would. Then take black dye and carefully lift up the rubber bands (do not cut them off or remove them) and squirt in the black dye just where the rubber bands were. I saw this done (although have not tried it myself) and it really looked cute, turning the white parts black. SOme black bled onto the colors, but not very much.
Thanks again for sharing!
Sorry they didn't come out exactly like you wanted. It's funny cause I used the shirts from Michaels too. I'd love to see how they turned out!

Added 9-28-I was thinking about what I may have done different on my shirts versus yours and the one thing that may make the difference is I really wrapped the rubberbands super tight (I had to cut most of them off, they were so tight) and if the area the bands covered looked small I used another rubberband (mine were not great big ones). The bands covered about 1-1/2" or so. The area where the color remover reached turned a slightly dark brown color and then the bleach changed that to grey. Hope this helps!
