How to Colorize Washer Pendants with Alcohol Inks
Alcohol inks are yet another excellent way to add color to jewelry projects. Check out the marbled washer pendant tutorial by Allison (of Dream a Litter Bigger) over on Momspark . She makes it look so easy to get that water color look to what are hardware store washers. Don't they look stunning?
Alcohol inks can be used on a variety of surfaces - glossy paper, wood, shrink plastic, metal, glass and so on. They are fade resistant. There is a special blending solution for lightening colors and for cleanup. I would try using isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) first as it is readily available from the drugstore.
Alcohol inks give a different look when compared to another craft favorite - Gilder's Paste.
