Well you may imagine from the title of this blog that I have been 'drinking' the alcohol! No, using it for some art work of course.
Merody had a mini- tutorial at the 2QAQ meeting last Saturday and we worked with textas and marking pens. They come in all sorts of brand names- look in the cupboard you may already have some to use. On cotton fabric I draw freely with the markers and then I sprayed the design with 'rubbing' alcohol.
The alcohol makes the pens 'bleed' so the colours spread out and intermingle. You can also work into the wet areas or come back and add more when it dries.
Sherrill Kahn has written a book, Magic with Markers about the method. It was very easy to get a great result.
Welcome to Autumn. I think the first week or 2 may be wet and humid, continuing on from Summer rains.
