DIFFUSION “painting”
Using water-based markers, apply color to pre-cut shapes (flower, butterfly, fish, turtle, etc.). Then place an ordinary wet-wipe on top & spray with water. The flow of color is slowed & channeled by the presence of oil & alcohol in the wipe – creating random & interesting tie-dye patterns.
for teens & adults
CALDER-TYPE PENDANT
Shape a length of aluminum wire into your own design. Flatten it with gentle hammer-taps. Add a glass bead or two & string it onto black cord for a unique pendant. (Based on jewelry by sculptor Alexander Calder.)
