Description:

Ranger just released some new colors of alcohol ink aiding my rather embarrassing addiction to the stuff! If you have it, you know what I mean, and if you don't have any, I hope to enable you to get out and buy a few colors to play with.

For this swap, use alcohol inks to create a picture of some sort. Modern art is acceptable, which often times only has an interpretation known to the artist, or you can get really artsy and use a brush or pens to make a more realistic image.

Use Yupo or glossy card stock for your substrate, any size between 3x5" and 5x7". Alternatively, use clear plastic packaging, glass, ceramic tile, etc. any non-pourous surface. The only requirement is that it be suitable for display, so make it tidy! Create something for your partner that you would like to keep!

Package your art securely, mail on time and rate promptly. This is USA only, but feel free to host an international version if you like.

Where do you find glossy cardstock? Are the ranger inks at Michael's hobby lobby or joanns?

orneryswife 07/27/2016 #

@Lila84 yes, all those places have glossy card and alcohol ink. If you can't find the paper, photo paper works, as well.

Thanks!

Lila84 07/30/2016 #

When you say modern art does that also include abstract ?

orneryswife 07/30/2016 #

Yes, certainly! Alcohol ink is a great medium for abstract. @Lila84

How about on a ceramic tile?

Lila84 07/31/2016 #

Okay thank you!

I'm going to have to drop out for financial reasons. Sorry! I don't have the right paper and I'm trying to have a no spend month is August.

@RyeRye if you want to, but it will certainly increase the shipping cost.
