"Kathy Cano Murillo strikes us as one of those people who, stranded on a desert island with nothing but a volleyball, a deck of playing cards and some coconuts, would not only craft a rescue vehicle and distress signal but whip up a spiffy castaway-themed wardrobe to wear as she did so. And she would be having a great time. And so would you. Visit the Arizona Republic contributor's site to get the craft fever yourself."

Hand-Tinted Silk Flowers

I know what you are thinking - "tinted" is an understatement!

These started as white flowers (you can use other colors too) I picked up at the dollar store. I used my Crafty Chica Tango Markers to bring them to life.

I thought they would be an artful alternative to the Mexican tissue flowers.

Directions: Take apart the flowers. Working on one layer at a time, use the markers to create designs. When you are done, attach the layers together and put them back on the stems, or whatever you want to use them for. You can also add stamped designs, and to finish them off, coat them with sparkle varnish or spray glitter!

I used small flowers, imagine how gorgeous the humongo silk flowers would look!
