One class I took required me to take a common medical item and use it in a completely different way. I was a way to get use to think outside the box. Remembering how a wonderful liquid called Genion violet stained Erika's mouth purple when she was a baby with thrush, I decided to dye some fabric. Our ever dependable pharmacist Mark suggested Betadine as another medical liquid that stains fabric.

Using unbleached muslin I dyed one third violet, one third rusty brown and left one third it's natural color. After drying the fabric on my back fence, I cut and sewed a the following star.

I got an A on the assignment.
