Notes

A fun little project I wanted to try for ages. Before Christmas, I’ve finally found an online store that sells Sharpie pens in my country, and they were on sale!!! Then, a quick trip to the pharmacy for rubbing alcohol… And a couple of days to decide what to rainbowify.

We had this doily for decades, never used it. The perfect prey! Muahahaha!!! smiling_imp

I kinda like how it turned out, although I have no idea what am I going to do with it. I’m not a doily person, no matter how colorful it is. It would be nice if I could use it in an upcycling project, but I have some questions (to people that tried tie-dying with Sharpies):

  • Is it fading over time? If so, how bad it is?

  • Will the colors run if I machine wash it?

  • How to stop Yellow from becoming muddy? The center was supposed to be red-orange-yellow-green, but Red devoured both Orange and Yellow before started to attack Green… Resulting in a muddy mess in some points. It’s like Yellow didn’t even try!

  • When will my fingers return to be a human color? rolling_on_the_floor_laughing

Your answers are greatly appreciated!
