Good Clean Fun...What fun we have been having! The kids and I have had art class, yesterday. We saw this on facebook somewhere- sorry, I couldn't find the link- and loved the look of it. It just sounded like a lot of fun! Fabric dying at it's most basic- and cleanest- level.
You take a large mouth vase- the type you get a dozen roses in- and strecth some cotton fabric over it- hold in place with a rubber band or in our case, a hair band. Then you take some Sharpie markers, yes the permanant kind, and make rings of dots. Then you drip a few drops of rubbing alchohol in the center of the dots with a cotton swab and watch it work. They spread out into a lovely kaliedescope of colors- blending and merging into a ring. How cool is that? And then, of course we had to do something with them- made a dozen fast postcards- just cut then out, the kids glue sticked them onto fabric and I machine appliqued them down. Ta-da! A fast, easy, clean, cheap, fun little project.

Hmmm, I will to try that! Thank you for sharing your idea!
"have"...I think that is the word I left out, LOL!!
That is just the coolest, funnest thing.
Art class...is, I think, as 24/7 prospect in your house. :)
Never saw that trick before. I sure could have used that back in my cub scout den mother days. You have sure been busy making quietly goodies lately. I can't seem to finish anything. I just keep trying to clean up odds and ends and end up with a bigger mess. Time to knuckle down and finish something.
That would be "quilty" goodies. I guess Julie and I are both having keyboard issues today.
verif. word:foodeess-people who like to eat more than quilt
Where do we sign up to get one of your cool postcards? Me and the kids will have to try that.
I put up a new post tonight- just for you!
