would this work?

[whostosay.livejournal.com]

i want to dye part of a shirt (the sleeves) What do you think is the best way to do this? I read in the memories about detaching, dying, and reattaching, or covering the non wanted-dyed part with wax, but that seems really hard and time consuming. SOOO i was thinking...could I dilute fabric paint (so its not so stiff) and paint it on the sleeves? Do you think that would work? (is it even dilute-able?)
