Painting Eggs with Alcohol Ink
Вставка

- In this video you can watch as I paint a hollow goose egg with alcohol ink and assorted markers. This method should not be used to decorate boiled eggs. It is for decorative hollow eggs only.
I have been decorating eggs this way for years. So many color combinations!
I do offer downloadable PDF tutorials in my Etsy shop here www.etsy.com/s... In my shop, on the left you will see a section called PDF Tutorials. If you find anything there you like, use coupon code YouT20 for a 20% discount! I also sell my already painted eggs there too. :)
Here are a few links to some of the supplies I used
Hollow Duck Eggs amzn.to/2Jw3JmF (I couldn't find a good source for goose eggs right now). I really like this seller and have purchased many items from them.
Sculpey Style and Detail Tools amzn.to/2PxPkKB (I love these tools and use them often with my polymer clay) In this video, I use the smallest to dip in silver ink and dot the egg. You could also use the head of a pin. :)
Ranger Alcohol Ink Here is a set of three that would work for this particular project amzn.to/2JvT6jz
They also offer larger sets here amzn.to/2oqkqZn
You can find the Sharpies at your local office supply.
You can probably find the Pilot gold pens at the office supply but, if not, here is a link to a two pack of gold and silver amzn.to/2Wmpryx
99% alcohol can be found at your local drug store or you can find it here amzn.to/2PtR47s
I also used old paint brushes. Don't use your good ones! I dabbed the ink onto the egg with a tissue. I've also used paper towel and cotton balls. Be careful with the cotton ball though. If the ink gets sticky, you'll get fuzzies on your egg. LOL
You definitely want to wear gloves if you attempt this. I use vinyl gloves. If you can't find them locally, here is a link to some offered on Amazon amzn.to/2MTwkEh
I know I didn't offer any written or verbal instructions here but you can check out my PDF tutorials in my Etsy shop. They go into more detail and are priced pretty reasonably too.

Beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to trying this!
Thanks! Share your work, I'd love to see it!
After the first layer of inks , when you applied the alcohol with the Q Tip in the round dots, I found myself blowing to dry 🤣🤣 I might try some alcohol inks as a background for my mandalas. You’ve totally inspired me. 🌸💗
Actually, blowing does help the alcohol ink dry faster! Thank you so much, I'm very happy to have inspired you!
Holy crap! These are gorgeous!!!😲🤩🤩🤩🔥

Just found your videos. What a wonderful treat. Your eggs are beautiful. Thank you sharing!
Glad you like them!
Brilliant project and many thanks for sharing :)
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it :)
Do you put a coating on to preserve them?
You can safely seal them with Kamar Varnish. :)
These are incredibly beautiful! Would this technique work with plastic, wooden, or ceramic eggs?
Thank you very much! I think the surface of the hollow eggs has the perfect blend of porous and non-porous qualities which allow the ink to behave like it does. I have painted wooden eggs with alcohol ink, but the ink is absorbed immediately, and you can't get the "blooming" effects. I haven't tried it on plastic eggs, but I imagine the ink would just run right off the smooth curved surface. Alcohol ink was actually made for non-porous surfaces, and I have watched artists paint ceramic tiles with it and achieve incredible results! The ink dries to a glossy finish on the smooth polished tile. There are many videos here on UA-cam demonstrating it. It's fascinating to watch! On a curved surface, such as a glazed ceramic egg, it may be a bit tricky though. :)
What happens when you finally cook it? Does the ink come off or stain the yolk? I don’t think my kids would eat it if the paints stained the yolk or white.
Oh no, this is for decorative use only on hollow eggs and should not be used on eggs that will be eaten.
