Vicki - if you PM me your email addy, i'll forward on some documents that I've collected to do with alcohol inks and other altering products.

Hey sorry to but in but I would be interested in the document about inks and altering xx

[upnseams]

I was reading this post and I too would be very much interested in the documents you have. I have tried to use the inks but find all I can do is make a mess with h them.
Thank you

I've used them a lot on acetate and mirri card to make (usually rather splodgy) backgrounds. They're also very useful for colouring metal so you can use them to colour plain metallic brads and metal charms. But I'd also be interested in any new techniques too.

The technical term is "bung 'em on anything" lol. Just play and the result is usually fantastic - don't mix them too much or they go like mud. allow them to run,spread and merge - tip your paper, item, acetate etc so that they move.

I have used them on photo paper before very cool and a bit cheaper then the glossy paper. I bought a few packs of the photo paper at the dollar store

A little bird told me that some people even use them on fruit! How weird is that!!!? :)

They are great used with UTEE too, you get a lovely glazed finish to some gorgeous colours.

I'm about to alter a leather writing case with my alcohol inks. Makes a change from altering my hands....i had to buy a huge box of latex gloves to avoid having "wild plum" covered hands all week! :huh:

FDM.

there's a mirror I've altered recently in my gallery .. I have also altered a metal watch bracelet using the alcohol inks too ... any surface goes though :)

I have the Ranger Luminous Metallics Inkabilities Inks, bought in 19 oatcake!
Does anyone know if they're the same as alcohol inks?
I've searched the internet to try and find out but no luck.

I have a two-part video tutorial on alcohol inks on my blog. Part 1 is here (http://dan99.blogspot.com/2008/10/video-tutorial-alcohol-inks-101-part-1.html)and Part 2 is here (http://dan99.blogspot.com/2008/10/video-tutorial-alcohol-inks-101-part-2.html). IHTH! :)

i've been playing with my alcohol inks, with the tutorial from Dan didn't think I could go wrong. BUT this morning my DS said - what you painted on that acetate mom, looks like congealed blood. :(

Not quite the effect I had in mind. Think I need to get some different colours as I now think he is right after a 2nd glance.

[Anneliese]

Now you need to see this that Tim Holtz has done on his blog .. to me it's a completely new way of using them .. look for his 2008 christmas tags & look at day 2 ! enjoy :D x
edited to say that I've had a go & it gets stunning results with a really easy technique :D !!

Lou the Posh Metallic Inkabilities aren't the same as they are water soluble.
