This is a tip I learned a long time ago when using sprays. 2 or 3 copper bb's in the bottle. You can buy a big plastic jar of them at WalMart. They mix the spray like the cans of spray paint to keep from clogging or mixture from separating and settling to the bottom.
I never would have thought to mix some sephia in with the purple...its sooo pretty
I'm so excited!! I went to hobby lobby and got my supplies and now I'm ready to play!
Fabulous! I've always wanted to try mixing my own colors but since I'm not the exceptional artist you are, I was lost concerning the type of materials needed and very intimidated; until I watched your tutorial. After seeing the beautiful colors you made; I'm off to the craft store to find the Bombay inks and give it a try! TFS!
blubonnettx Thank you so much! You will love all the versatility these inks will give you! Jennifer xoxo
If you can find a lime green with a warm under colour then it can be used to darken down purples. Greens are a red spectrum subtraction, so different dyes can add notches to the spectrum which will be most visible as a colour removal on a saturated complimentary. A lab grade spectrometer can be useful for paint mixing.
Love the colour combinations!!! Gorgeous!
Anita George Thank You Anita! The combinations are endless!! Jennifer xoxo
Really enjoy your videos. They are easy to watch, full of inspiration and I like your accent. Thank you for sharing all this good stuff.
I cant wait to get some and try. I have to say I love your videos even though I am just now getting to watch them but you have awesome ideas and helping me with a place to start. You are blessing to me.
Your sprays are so pretty! Time to shop! Thanks for the tip!
lionpaw55 Thank you so much!!! Jennifer xoxo
You inspired me to make my own spray bottle India inks. I got my bottles at Micheals, and some more on Amazon (I bought out Micheals and they haven't gotten any more yet). I got my India Inks on Amazon, too. I didn't put as much ink in mine and they work for me so I'm good there but I may try to add more and see what effect I get. Thank you!! I love 'em.
+pdh8447 I have to say that the india ink spray is one of my most favorite things to use in my art journal! Glad you gave it a try! Jennifer

Lynne Williams My Pleasure Lynne and Thank you for your support!! Jennifer xoxo
I use my spent printer cartridges and squeeze them out into a sprayer but use 70% alcohol with a drop of soap in it. Usually there’s tons of ink left in ink jet cartridges cus all the modern ones use microchips that count the number of prints instead of the level of ink. Even if not, you can get a set of old CMYK ones on amazon for like a dollar each.
Thanks for sharing.
I love how you get so excited about purples!! Me too haha
Jen u are a genius :-) so cool and creative tfs
Veronica Arias Thank You Veronica! You are so sweet! Jennifer XOXO
Thank you, I think I'll do this too since I don't have any spray inks!! Love them, xoxo
Carole Ann Colca Let me know how you like them! Jennifer XOXO
its can spray to the wood?
This is so cool!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
HI that is awesome can you apply this for any ink colours? so does it last longer with rubbing alcohol? just using water is ok? tfs irene xx
+seriouslyscrapping I just use water and I havent had any problems at all so far. Yes you can use any ink colors! Jennifer XOXO
Hi Jen - what size dropper do you use for your little Bombay bottles? And what size bottles do you use? I've watched your video's many, many times and I love them! You're fun and make it sound so easy! thanks for sharing your great idea's :):):)
+Maeve Garcia Thank you so much Maeve! I bought those dropper and bottles about 10 years ago so I have no idea what size. They just happened to fit the Bombay bottles lol! Jennifer XOXO
Making them right now! Thanks!
Have fun with them! They are addictive! Jennifer
Thank you so much!
Can you make the india ink spray with rubbing alcohol vs water?
I love your art....I have a question. I have acrylic ink sprays I purchased at Hobby Lobby. Will they behave the same? I love the results you get with india ink. Thank you for sharing. I am new to this medium.
Joan Brantome Thank You Joan! I think Acrylic would be extremely similar to the ink spray. They of course are not the same but I say use what you have! Jennifer XOXO
Why do you mix the white in it ? I would have lighten the colors and have you made your ink spray with alcohol vs water?
India ink has a resin binder in it so I'm wondering if any of your spray bottle nozzles have clogged?
Rosie P Hi Rosie, The only one I have had clogged is the white. I have found if I clean the sprayer off before I store it away I dont have that problem! Jennifer XOXO
jen of eve designs thank you for getting back to me on this, I'll be picking up some india ink now!
Hi Jen, Hi how u doing? Good i hope . I have a question ur eye droppers that u have for the little inda ink bottle what size r they an where did u find them at . Awesome tutorials keep them coming.
Thank you Monique! I have had those droppers for over 10 years now. I purchased them on the Internet but I cant remember where or what size they are, I'm sorry! Jennifer xoxo
Hi dear ty for helpful video. Is this same as splash inks
Try a dab of black in that eggplant mixture
doesn't look so scary when you did it. so I will have to try it. lol. I've had those inls like forever.
I have tried to make alcohol inks using permanent markers and found that they really are vibrant as the real inks any suggestions?
I make my own glitter spray with alchol & dollar store eyeshadow. It works great. Found some eye shadow that was loose it a little pot, so I can make it with a lot of glimmer or a little. FUN!!
Hugs, Linda :
Great idea!! Will give it a try! Jennifer
thats a really nice egg plant purple, the colours are so good mixed. ty for a great video can u ever add anything to the bottles to do a sparkly mix ????.Pauline x
You can add some gold or silver mica powder (loose eyeshadow from the discount stores) to make glimmer mists.
really , i will have to try it out, wont it get clogged in the spray mist ???
danine56 It is so beautiful in person! You can use anything sparkly as long as it is super super fine so that it does not clog the sprayer. I have used perfect pearls before and it worked great! Jennifer xoxo
danine56 No it will work great!
Yep perfect pears or pearl ex is great! We have a brand of makeup called BYS here in Australia and they make a super fine shimmer powder that I use, but is limited in colours. So I use the pearl ex as well. Have fun and experiment!!!!
have you used alcohol to make alcohol inks
No I have not tried that! Maybe I will one day!
Thumbs up, Subscribe? Dang, you get those just for that "ridiculously adorable Accent"!
Seriously though, Nice Tutorial and good product information (although I think it may be hard to find that 'pray' bottle :P). Oddly it appears to me that the inks are beautifully opaque and also bright at the same time and I'm certainly digging that... I'll definitely be making one set with distilled H20 and another with Rubbing Alcohol for some mixed media projects in the near future (finding your video was good timing on my part!)
Warm Regards,
Wonderful!! I am glad you liked it! Let me know how yours turns out! Jennifer
Thank you very much.
+Yvonne Leehelen Dowell You are welcome very much!!! Jennifer XOXO
Gracias por compartir los colores son muy lindos
Blancaj Hernández Thank you so very much! The colors are stunning in real life! Jennifer xoxo
Are these waterproof/resistant when dry? Can you go over them with other wet mediums without the color smearing?
+Shelley Cromwell Once dry they are permanent!
TFS
thank you so much!
Can you use this on fabric?
Do you know where we can buy the dropper lids?
Tim Holz's site has this notice about ink sprays - what do you think about this? Is this safe?
Note: Ranger does not recommend using Adirondack Alcohol Inks, Metallic Mixatives, Snow Cap Mixative or Alcohol Ink Blending Solution in spray bottles as these contents contain alcohol and should not be airborne.
Nick Doe I really think anything that is sprayed should be used with care. You should use your own judgment based on which product you are using to make spray inks. Let me know if you find any more info on it! Jennifer
Can you use the ink to create alcohol inks
Good info
Thank you Laura! Jennifer
Have you tried the DR Martin with alcohol?
Can you spray this on an envelope and address it with fountain pen ink after the spray ink dries?
+TheTarotGirl I am not super sure! If you try it let me know how it works out! Jennifer
it works as long as the spray is dry
Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
sadiejosiemom It is my pleasure! Jennifer xoxo
can you use these with alcohol too beside water? to make alcohol inks?
I don't see why not.
Where can i by these main inks to make my own spray inks????
I bought mine on Amazon. If you have a hobby lobby near you using their coupon you can save money.
I am so thankful to you.................God bless....
ould post a video , to learn how to use these inks ?
Lalita Solomon I have not used them much yet. I myself am watching videos on them. There are a few videos on them. They can be used like water colors. Used with dip pens because of course they are ink. And one lady I believe Cathand is her UA-cam, shows how to use them with alcohol for special effect.
do you think i could try food coloring
I don't know! I haven't tried that!
where did you get your eye droppers?
I purchased them over 10 years ago! I don't really remember! I bet you can just google it and will find all kinds of places to get them! Jennifer
I make my own too
Crap! You Tube showed this ua-cam.com/video/BcCjD8jRPnQ/v-deo.html video suggestion next to yours so I watched it. Now I think I need to consider this method too. When she said it was cake decorating food coloring gel, it made me think of you using the cake decorating tips with the modeling paste...
luxurycardstore I havent tried that method with the food coloring but maybe one day I will! Jennifer xoxo
Love your tutorials! I want some of those India Inks, but after watching this video ua-cam.com/video/uN9gNfE7WUU/v-deo.html I also want the Marion Smith Designs Color Lab Paint Kit. I guess now I need to decide which one or if I should get both...
luxurycardstore Thank you so much! I love Marion Smiths stuff but I have to confess I have not tried her Color Lab yet! Jennifer xoxo
Ha ha! Your description said "pray bottles". Oh, dear! Religion is being discussed?! ;-)
Hello , it is the acrylic ink ? Thank you , i'm french :)
+Fayy16Chat No it is India Ink, mostly used for calligraphy. Jennifer
