I bought myself some alcohol inks before Christmas and have been playing with them a bit. The colors are vibrant and very strong and will take some getting used to. I am not really keen on using them on glass but I like the way they behave on the metal. The metal is just cut up pop cans and I paint on the inside: the leaves are bendable but I am afraid the photo really doesn't do the whole thing justice.
I seem to be setting a number of goals for myself this winter (learn Oriental brush painting, Anime and Alcohol Inks): now all I need is time!

Really cool idea Val. Those leaves look great, bet they are even better in person. Looks like you are having fun :) I didn't know that alcohol inks were so versatile!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. Yes the alcohol inks can do lots of different things. A Facebook friend has done lots of glass vases and sold them too. I checked out a bunch of youtube videos before playing with the inks and still have lots to try. I find them fun but frustrating too - good luck with tomorrows painting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Val!
