Alcohol inks are one of the most versatile pigments you can apply for all sorts of crafts and also for jewelry making! They can be combined and applied in different ways to achieve a variety of effects. Fast drying too! Kimberly Crick of the Enchanted Gallery has a fantastic alcohol inks guide which is worth noting. This resource page will inspire!
She covers various ways to apply the inks like using a felt pad or blowing the inks on a non-porous surface. Her color combination charts are superb. She also has many tips on technique as well as on the different supplies needed for certain effects such as marbling or simply combining different types of paint. Sealing the completed projects? She's got that covered too.
Note : I have no association with Enchanted Gallery which does sell some supplies.

DeleteThank you for the very thorough information about Alcohol Inks--I somehow missed this post in January. Today I plan to color some hardware store washers!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! I've found it actually quite challenging to use alcohol inks myself. It always ends up looking like a mess!
DeleteDoes this process work with sterling silver?
ReplyDeleteYes, it works. However, I strongly recommend you use cheaper metal like brass and copper first if you are experimenting and learning.
