Description I'm tired of sitting at my computer for hours on end so I am testing out a new art medium, alcohol inks. They are so much fun! I'm waiting for my inks to be delivered so in the mean time I am playing with alcohol based pens. It's very fractal like.

Thanks Kate! Yes, something new. I'm going to try my hand at alcohol inks, like I really need more to do!

Alcohol inks? That's very modern I guess! And I'm sure you'll handle it, Kim! And I like the fact you do not stop and move forward with new stuff

Thanks Anna! Like fractals, not a lot of people doing it, very nontraditional. Right now I'm just playing while I wait for my inks.

I do wish I could paint!

Thanks Sue, this is really pretty easy to do. I don't think you need any painting experience to do this. We shall see how it develops.

Of course I love the little rosebuds in their strange dreamy setting.

Thanks Travis, I just discovered the joys of AI. I can't wait to get my inks and really get started. It looks to me like not to many people are doing it. Right now I'm only playing with three pens, red, blue and green. I have lots of inks on their way.

I've got a few pieces in my gallery that are inked. I haven't worked with the pens all that much, mostly just dripping the bottles onto stuff. You should have some fun with canned air and the felt stamper thing you can get

Checked out your pieces, very nice! The dominoes are nice. I'm having router issues so I didn't get to see them all. I have the stamper coming. I tried the straw and blow dryer method but no luck, I guess I just have to wait for the ink to come. I definitely want to try the canned air.

Platinus In reply to beautifulchaos1 [2013-07-28 19:12:26 +0000 UTC]

Straw and blow can work sometimes, but I find, and it may just be me, that the moisture in my breath (and sometimes spit if I'm blowing too hard) can slow down the drying of the ink. Blow dryer? I think that might heat those inks up a bit too much and dry them right up with hardly any movement.
