this method beats silkscreen for the cool effect of the two different kinds of bleaching around the edges.... those would be a bitch to get just right.
i'm very impressed. i'm excited to see others' forays into this medium.

You should PM me (or post up) some screen printing advice. I'm only doing this until all my screen print stuff is set up, due to low cost of entry...I stumbled on this method while researching silk screening. I am actually looking at buying a double sink, powerwasher, and countertop on craigslist this week to start setting up my storage unit as a screen print shop of sorts, and then I'm going to start doing some pure screen printing stuff, as well as mixing mediums, with bleach as a base coat before the silk.
We're actually going to be pretty capable....In addition to the screen printing and stenciling, my wife does swarovski crystal rhinestone work, is a seamstress (she made a litle black dress in two days to go clubbing in a couple weeks ago!) and my next door neighbor has an embroidery machine, that I have the software loaded for...so we'll pretty much be set to make pretty much anything textile.
By the way, for people who haven't found it, I did a writeup in Tilted How To:
