These inks are pretty intense, and adding a little water can make them last longer and go further without taking much away from their brilliancy.
Though the colored inks soaked in and didn’t show that well, the white is amazing on the black. I was curious to see how these inks worked on black paper. These are from a sketch I made in my black journal. Anyone who makes polymer clay jewelry, charms, or even art journals- this adds another dimension to the possibilities open to you. I baked the clay before I painted it, but once the ink dries, it’s permanent. This is a really simple polymer clay pendant I made. I’m going to be using this technique a lot. As long as I didn’t rub it really hard, the ink stayed fast. Even thick drips of alcohol ink had no effect on the india ink once it was dry. I tried it two different ways- india ink first, followed by alcohol ink, and vice versa. I colored the acetate using alcohol inks and india ink. Black and white cardstock with clear acetate attached to top with brads. I decided to try a few different techniques to see just how versatile they are. Nope, these different sets of inks come with as many as 12 colors, all vibrant and versatile. I used to think that India ink was only available in one color- black. So the quest to find different and creative ways or organizing different materials into art is a constant, never ending adventure, and if you’re anything like me, becoming proficient in using a few materials over and over again isn’t satisfying enough- new materials need to be found and experimented with until we become proficient in using them, and we continue to find new things to work with. The act of creation can be fairly difficult without anything to create with.
