Dream


In these days of Corona-induced hibernation, adventures are probably few and far between.  But if you're a stamper, you have numerous chances for adventure!  How?  Just choose a medium that gives you limited control and yields results that are always a surprise.  In this case, I once again played around with alcohol inks . . .


For this background, I dropped four colors of alcohol onto Yupo paper, spacing them a generous inch apart.  After they did their initial spreading, I let them dry for a minute or two.  I added a few more drops to intensify the colors in each area and then let it dry completely. 

The adventurous part came next and took only a split second:  I shpritzed once with 91% alcohol from about 10" away.  That gave me scores of lovely droplets with slightly raised, darker edges that I think look very artsy and provide lots of texture.  Love it!
