 Okay, hey guys, so I've been playing with my Sharpies and some acrylic packaging, plastic packaging this week for my year 2017, the Facebook group. And this month our prompt is crayons, markers, and pencils and I thought it would be interesting to see if we could make some kind of embellishments with the Sharpie, which I did, but I also ran across something by accident. So all I did was color on the acrylic with Sharpie, there we go, and then I blended them with some rubbing alcohol and I'll show you the mistake, happy accident that I made. We're going to get another piece of packaging, which I had here somewhere over there it is. And this is just packaging, this is from, I don't know what, it says Marshall's. I don't know what I bought. I probably had this a long time. It's blacked out, so it was something that I gave or got for Christmas. I don't know, but cut the packaging off so that you have a flat sheet because we don't want the edge, this edge is useless, oops, ow, it's sharp. So be careful, I'm going to cut the price tag off rather than try to get it off because I'm lazy, and I'm going to cut this little end piece off and use that. Okay, and I didn't quite get all the edge off of that, and it does really need to be flat. So now I've got this, and I don't even know if you can see it super well, but this small piece of acrylic, I'm going to put it down on this white piece of drawing paper just so that I can see what I'm drawing because the background is white, and just keep it simple. You could do flowers, you could do leaves, you could do anything. I'm just going to do circles. I like circles, so circles are my thing this month. I don't know why, and this is just a, I don't know what color, like a turquoise blue color, Sharpie, and that's my husband telling me he's leaving work. Okay, so I'm going to just put that color around in a ring, and then I'm going to put maybe another color of blue. This is like a baby blue towards the middle, and start to kind of fill the middle in. You don't have to fill it in super well. I want to take a dark blue and put it around the outer edge, and these don't have to be neat. We're going to blend them. It can be messy. And then in the center, let's do it like a pop. Maybe of, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, There you are. The lighting is very weird here today. It's not a great time of the day to be doing this. Let's adjust the camera angle. Hang on. Now we just have these two blue dots, right? So I'm going to take a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. I happen to have one of these little push bottles, but you don't have to have one. Just pour some rubbing alcohol into a little cup or something. And I'm going to start from the middle and work my way out very lightly with the Q-tip wet with rubbing alcohol and blend out that sharpie. And I'm going to wipe the Q-tip off on my paper. Now what I discovered by accident is if you take this while it's wet and turn it over, you can actually do a monoprint with wet sharpie. So look at that. And it almost completely comes off of here. That is the coolest thing on the planet. Now it will dry on here and you can use it. You can cut it out, use it as is as an embellishment. I would recommend sticking it face down because it's, you've got sharpie with alcohol and plastic. It's not going to be permanent. So when you attach it to your journal page or a tag, and I would just be free with it and have it look kind of industrial and messy and staple it on. Use your tiny attacher. Use a brad, something like that. And I would glue it face down. You're kind of working sort of like when you're painting glass. So whatever you want to show from this side, you have to put down first on this side. And one of the things that would be fun to do would be to, I have this gold sharpie pen. I'm going to put some in the middle. I don't think they're going to really show up, but we'll find out. Yeah, they do. They do show up. So have some fun with it. Use your sharpies. Use some rubbing alcohol on plastic packaging material. Nothing expensive. Nothing complicated. Have fun with it. Make some little embellishments for your My Year Journal, tags, ATCs, anything. You could use them in anything. Have fun with it and play with those markers. Get those sharpies out. All right, that's it for today.
