happiness is a new tool

on Dec 29, 2015

I’ve recently added alcohol inks to my art supply bin and am really excited about the possibilities this has opened up; in particular, I can get translucent watercolor-style effects with them that are entrancing, and that vibe has carried over even to some pieces that aren’t using the inks. Here are my recent favorites:

415-69+72-1 415-69+72-2

Tropical Sea and Cloudrift, 1 inch square pendants

415-65-2

Witch’s Moon – 1.5 inch round pendant

415-62-2415-62-1

Bad Moon Rising – 30mm round pendant

415-70-2

Klimtian Sky – 1 inch pendant.

Realistically, any time the metallic gold ink comes out, things get all Vienna Secession pretty darn quickly.
