After a long period of being uninspired to do anything but
watch videos on YouTube, I found some videos on alcohol inks. I bought a little
set of three earlier this spring, but never played with them. In desperation to
do something creative, even if it was just experimenting, I cut up some small
pieces of Yupo and started playing. What fun! I do not know where this will
lead or how long the fascination will last, but the important thing is I am in
my studio again and creating!
The only caveats are alcohol inks are not for anyone with breathing
or alcohol problems. The fumes will get to you after awhile. Also wearing vinyl
gloves and protective clothing is a must. These inks stain everything!
