Permanent Markers and Rubbing Alcohol

In May, Becky did a demo on how to "dye" fabric with permanent marker and rubbing alcohol.

We used this book by Sherrill Kahn, Magic with Markers for inspiration.

This was a lot of fun and very quick to get pretty results.

I especially like the hands and the quilted piece.
