Lately, I've been having lots of fun playing with alcohol inks. Guest blogger Mindy Eggen appeared on Jennifer McGuire's blog recently and presented a novel way to get alcohol inks to spread. Here's one of my first results with the technique . . .
Spoiler alert: she used a blow dryer to move the inks around and quickly dry them! I loved the idea and was thrilled with the ease at which this worked. My blow dryer has a cool setting and also a low speed setting - both of which I found very useful for this method.
So now I have a stack of blow dried alcohol ink backgrounds and will be exploring many more ways to play with this idea for future posts. Take a look at her video here and then grab your own hair dryer and have some fun!
