As a craft supply hoarder, I can attest that buying supplies can get expensive, especially if you need specific items for a project and don’t have time to shop around for the best price. Birgit from Birgit’s Daily Bytes decided to experiment with a few different DIY methods for making supplies to cut her crafty […]
2016 Topic 22: Alcohol Inks and Pens Wendy Videlock Well hello everyone, Darcy here, time for a brand new topic. Alcohol inks and pens are what we will be playing with over the next two weeks. A firm favourite with the colourists among you, and for those that like to coordinate colouring and embellishments. There isn't a great deal of history to alcohol inks. Solvents were first added to solid based dyes for use in commercial printers, these were needed to enable signs and banners to be printed on vinyl. The way this works is that the solvent softens the vinyl and creates the best adhesion for the colour pigments. This is essential as most of these signs are used outdoors. These solvent/dye combinations produced stunningly bright colours and before long they were in favour with graphic designers and illustrators; milder solvents were employed and the resulting inks were bottled and put into pens. For those not familiar with these inks the main difference between them and other inks is the 'carrier solution'. The ink in aqueous inks and markers is mixed with water, they are known as water-based. Alcohol ink uses a chemical carrier, a solvent. Over the years the types of solvent have changed, with modern inks using alcohol as the carrier solution. Lou Jordan Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 21: Typography,Fonts and Quotes Challenge... There were some really great entries, proving that the humble word can be utilised in so many ways. You created fabulous backgrounds and picked out your favourite words as focal points. it is amazing to see how different each piece looks, just by changing fonts and colours . The winner of Typography,Fonts and Quotes is: Julie from Picture of Faith Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] Alcohol inks and markers are labelled as non toxic, however this does not mean that care should not be taken. All these products contain a solvent which is always flammable. If you are sensitive to chemicals you should also take care, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Never add alcohol inks into a spray as the small particles that become airborne could be an irritant if inhaled. There are some fantastic benefits to using alcohol inks; they are waterproof, they can be blended beautifully, and they can be used on many surfaces that just will not accept aqueous ink. Alcohol inks can be applied by pouncing with a felt applicator or by dripping direct from the bottle. Colours can be layered and blended and some stunning combinations can be achieved. The Enchanted Gallery has some great information, including the following combination chart. As a very basic tool, alcohol inks can create some simply stunning backgrounds.Although there are many brands on the market you do not need to buy specific brands. This one uses sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol as a blending solution. As alcohol inks are solvent based you must use a solvent to blend them as water just will not work. There are branded blending solutions and also blending pens, but regular rubbing alcohol/Isopropanol works just fine. Sharpie Blog It seems the whole world is crazy for colouring books at the moment, alcohol markers are a great way to colour and blend, however be aware that most markers will bleed through the paper to the other side. Doodle Invasion This is not a problem if you are cutting out stamped images to colour in as you won't see the reverse. However you do need to make sure that you stamp with the correct ink. When using alcohol ink markers make sure that you stamp with an ink that will not react, the best I have found is Memento in Tuxedo Black. If you want a lighter almost edge-less image then try the Memento Desert Sand. This video shows some other ink pads that are compatible too. When working on paper and card make sure to use one with a super smooth surface, this will reduce the 'feathering' or bleeding of the ink outside of your drawn or stamped lines. Laura Bassen With alcohol inks you are not restricted to just paper or card, there are many other substrates to work on; these include glass, plastic, metal, acetate, ceramic, yupo. You can also work on fabric though these pieces may not be permanent. This piece is embossed metal decorated with alcohol inks. Lizzy Wurmann Here a metal washer is coloured with alcohol inks, this is a great way to make embellishments. Michelle Neddo This piece of metal was embossed, coloured with ink and then topped with a crackle paste. Tammy Tutterow Another gorgeous substrate to use is glass, here Sarah Jane colours some glass pebbles, these could be used as embellishments or made into jewellery. Or take old bottles and give them new life as Melanie has done with these three beauties. A new addition to many a person's craft stash is Yupo paper, this is a very smooth paper, the with a synthetic coating. As such it takes alcohol inks very well. Here Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith has been experimenting with alcohol inks on Yupo using stencils. How about this wonderful seahorse, also done on Yupo paper. Alcohol inks do not need to be used alone, they can be a part of your mixed media projects. Here Louise Christian has used inks as her background and added dimension with micron pens and acrylic paints. You can also create texture and patterning directly into the ink. Take a look at the great texture achieved here just by adding rubbing alcohol to fabric and pressing it into a coloured area. Jennifer Dove How about these funky sharpie tie dye shoes, if you fancy having a go or letting your children play then this could be a really fun project. SoCraftastic shows you how in this VIDEO If you need help with your blending when colouring in then Kimberly has a great video here, she shows how she uses different shades of the same colour to achieve a gorgeous blended floral layout. She also has a lots more great colouring videos on her channel. Here are some more interesting objects coloured with alcohol links. A beautiful Christmas ornament. Lullabelle An old spoon is transformed into something very special. Donna Even the humble drinks can has possibilities, here it has been transformed into flowers for this wall art. Gail It is possible to move alcohol inks around with compressed air, this card has some great layers that are built up using this method. Shari Finally HERE is a free e-book all about alcohol inks, it contains some amazing projects. Wow! so many fab ideas, go right now and dig out your alcohol inks. i bet you have some hidden away, and not used them in ages. Have a drippy blendy session and make some backgrounds, or grab your pens and do some colouring in.

I tried to work on my Christmas card but I am soooo uninspired. Not because I don't have the Christmas spirit…I do, I do!!!! But because I made the painting for the card 8 1/2 " X 11" thinking that I would scan it and then shrink it to card size. Well…..when I shrunk the card down, it lost a lot of detail and color intensity. I guess that it is back to the drawing board on that one!!! In the mean time….an artist friend of mine made the most beautiful cards using yupo paper and alcohol inks. I thought that I would give it a try! She used the originals to make her cards where I decided to use prints from my new laser printer (more about that in a future post) and use those instead. After all, I may find another use for the originals later. Some of you may not think that these cards are too Christmasy but I'll make it work. Also, I plan to give these as gifts. This is how I made them: 1. Cut the yupo paper to 5 1/2" x 4" 2. Lightly mist the yupo paper with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. You can find this at any Drug Store. 3. Drop the lightest background color onto the misted yupo and brush evenly using a paint brush. I covered the entire sheet but if you wish to have some white show…just slap it on!!! Also, don't worry about streaks…they will even out on their own as the alcohol flows. 4. While the background is still wet, place the stencil over it. It is best to use the very thin plastic stencils as you want them to grab or stick to the background. If the background dries before positioning the stencil, mist either the back of the stencil or very lightly mist the background with the 91% alcohol. 5. Drop two to three different colors onto the page….making sure to drop through the openings in the stencil. I sometimes coaxed the ink with a brush. Do not use complimentary colors or they will turn to mud. Try colors in the same family. Pinks, reds. purples and yellows or Blues, greens and yellow. 6. Set aside to dry. Tip: if you push on the stencil and you see ink move…it is not dry. I left mine to dry overnight just to be sure. I am very impatient and often tempted to pull the stencil back to look under it but be warned….this will cause the inks to flow into each other and loose detail. 7. Once dry, pull the stencil off and admire your work!!! Now, most importantly…CLEAN YOUR STENCILS! You can clean them by misting them with alcohol and gently wiping with a paper towel. Also, if you are making several of these and switch colors...clean your stencil and brush between use or the colors may turn to mud when the alcohol on the stencil or brush is reactivated. There you have it!!! Alcohol ink and Yupo 101! Until next time, Hugs, Ginny

While at the retreat, I attended a demo about dying fabric with Sharpies (permanent markers) and rubbing alcohol (isopropyl.) I already knew alcohol would make Sharpies bleed, but I’d never seen this particular application. This is the sort of result you can expect. Cool, right? And this is how you do it: – Stretch fabric […]
