Lots of fun. Moosegirl
I love this! How do you do it? do you completely draw the picture and fill it in with color? Then what? Do you dig a cotton ball or some kind of brush in alcohol? What kind of brush? Do you use lots of alcohol on it or does it just take a little? CAn you brush over a large area at a time or just one little area of color? I really want to know more details on this as I have never heard of it. I really like the first picture you have posted of the flowers. I am a huge flower gardener and would like to do this technique (as it has my name written all over it!!). Please give me more specific details. Is there a tutorial anywhere on this or where did you learn it? PLEASE give us all more details.
