Today my littlest granddaughter and I made Snowmen ornaments. She got so wrapped up in doing this that we made 14 of them. After this we got paper, scissors, and glue sticks out. She is conquering how to use scissors. A great fun day.

The last few days I have been trying alcohol ink on different types of fabric.  I tried muslin  I wasn’t over joyed with this.  Ink didn’t spread with the alcohol and turned a little dull.  Next was 100% cotton.  This one a little better  Then I tried silk.  I also used permanent markers and I got moreContinue reading “Trying Alcohol Ink”

Today I cut out a tote and then played with alcohol ink.  I do think I like this and will be experimenting more with this.  I have some white scarves that I need to try and do something with.  More and more fun will be coming.  I have my fabric dying table set up inContinue reading “Back to normal”
