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.

Do you have any more specific directions for this?

Mine didn't turn out anything as amazing as hers. We sprayed the alcohol on. She says she brushes the alcohol on - her colors are more blended. Yes I hope she does a tut.
