Hand Painted Silk + Sharpie Markers!

Over the past few months I've made a number of silk pieces using Sharpie Markers and Rubbing Alcohol. I wondered what would happen if I combined the Sharpie technique with painted silk. 
After heat setting the paint I placed the silk in a large quilting hoop.

I randomly added color with the markers.
I dropped rubbing alcohol on the markers allowing the colors to spread and meander.
This is a different color combo than the example above but the same technique.
The end result is a light and airy piece!
Give it a try and share your results! You'll get hooked!
