Alcohol involved---ISOPROPYL 70%...that is!

For any of you Martha fans out there...and for the haters too-PURPLE was the word of the day.  She had a "Purple Show" with her contributor, Darcy Miller.  Who by the way, I think is a real genius.  As long as she has the big bucks to play with and the resources of NY city...she is fabulous.  She had done a purple party for her little girl Pippa.  It was amazing!

And I love that she has Martha's number!  On the show she had those big long PIXIE sticks and Martha didn't know what they were!  Marcy got a real chuckle out of that and muttered under her breath that she couldn't believe that she found out something that Martha didn't know.

Later on the show she had a craft segment and it was also based on purple stuff.  Such a fun idea and EASY.
It involves SHARPEE markers and good ole rubbing alcohol.
Of course, my artsy mind started running and decided to do a bit of experimenting on my own this weekend.

I had the help of my darling niece's daughter, Livi.  Here she is in her sweet Halloween costume.

I                                                                                                 ...and all ready for the first day of school.

 So she and I started drawing with the markers and her shirt turned out darling and silly me, I forgot to get a pic.  But I did cut up a cotton t-shirt and experimented with different combinations.  The colors are vibrant and beautiful and every blossom a bit different...you let them dry and then set with the heat of your iron.

I plan to make another section and sew it to the first and make a scarf....such fun and I have a few other ideas I am mulling around in my head.  More fun to come....
