How a simple Crayola marker doodle evolved to a pattern resembling alphabet soup...
Two people are wearing white t-shirts with the Alphabet Soup design printed on them. The person on the left is wearing the initial doodle with one of each letter in the alphabet. The person on the right is wearing a t-shirt with the evolved pattern on it, which covers the whole front of the t-shirt.

The Process
This project started out as a doodle on a scrap piece of paper and ended up being printed on shirts and other products. A home-made screen-printing kit was made using a large embroidery hoop, organza fabric and Mod Podge.
