craft your happy place
Pour rubbing alcohol onto a crumpled paper towel and blot the surface of the bowl to smudge and smear the marker scribbles.
Just layer on some thicker lines and branches randomly over the bowl.
Puddle some rubbing alcohol on the marker shapes. You can pour directly from the bottle but I found using a spray bottle was very helpful.
If you want to add extra durability to your finish you can add a thin coat of glossy Mod Podge.
