I played with 3 different brands. All totally different. One was to thick for me. It doesn‘t flow on its own. I had to spread it with a palette knife. Maybe the ink is to old. I think I‘ll be adding some Acrylic markers and Micron.

I don't have mine yet but the tutorials on Pinterest put down water first (like in a circle or a line) and then drop the ink into it and let the drops flow into the water.

Next time I‘ll try it that way.

I had to clear off my big workspace for company to eat on. After all, it is my dining table. So now I have all the stuff i will put on the table in my wagon. You can put a lot more stuff in a wagon than carry in your hands. I looked for some smaller circle rubber stamps that I wanted to try. I found a couple of other things that were not labelled clearly--my distress inks and envelope patterns. Sometimes rediscovering art materials is almost as fun as buying new stuff.

No, I did it after

Yeah, a lot of the videos I’ve been watching you put the water down first and then you put a drop of the ink into the water, but I imagine there’s other ways of doing it also

Will add you MACE.

Also I want people to know that submitting abstract art is splendid. This is mostly what I do.

I have been adding alcohol inks to the acrylic inks. I also found a rubber stamp that will stamp a design using acrylic ink on clear acetate. I did a couple smaliish pieces, using water color paper. And they turned out well. I am making big pieces and will find parts I like and they will become my ATCs. I have a couple of clear ATCs I use to find interesting ATC-sized areas.

After church and all tomorrow I can make art. I got my plants planted. Finally finished my JKL cards for leydab.

Process pic of my abstract acrylic ink cards. Ive been wanting to try this method of taping down and working on several cards at once, so this seemed like a good time. Thinking of adding some text...

I will have to withdraw, unfortunately I have to take care of some personal things, so I will be stepping away from swaps for a while.
