Good morning
Tracy here with today's post....
Sometimes you need to just let go and play with no preconceived idea, refresh your inspiration and be free.
My favourite way to do this is to get out my trusty alcohol inks and alcohol gloss card......
I love the random patterns that alcohol inks make when you drop them onto a multitude of surfaces but the gloss card really does enable the inks to spread and create completely abstract results....
Using a straw to blow the ink around can create some fabulous effects....
Once I have a completed piece and allowed it to dry I love to sit and mindlessly doodle over my alcohol ink patterns with black and white gel pens, I love how every single piece is different and no two will ever be the same...
If you do this technique on white ceramic tiles all you need to do is wipe the tile over with alcohol blending solution and then start to drip the colours onto the tile. The colours spread instantly and you can drop colours inside of colours to create some great effects. They would make a fabulous gift as a set of multi coloured coasters !!!
Come on get out your alcohol inks, dust them off and play.....you'll have a blast but be warned...it's addictive !!!
Thank you for stopping by

Spectacular! Gosh, I really needed to read & see this post. I've been absent & so try to avoid blogs, social media. My mojo has completely gone & I don't know how to get it back. I only own 3 alcohol inks & may get them out. But the best part for me is your attitude ~ let go, play, have "no preconceived ideas".... I can't explain why I chose to come & see more. I don't want to analyse it, it just happened & I really do want to be able to "let go", find a happy place again with no hang ups. Thank you for sparking my interest. Your results truly are fabulous, arty & free, no 2 being the same is cool too. Tfs
I've never thought of doodling over alcohol inks, but what a wonderful idea, it's so effective. Fabulous! Ruth x
Now this is creativity! Just incredible!
Fabulous samples and a great technique, I was playing with my alcohol inks with vellum at the weekend.

Yes it looks fun! Not sure I would get the same results as the inks have a habit of turning into mud very quickly under my stewardship...
