To me that is a waste of alcohol week honestly if you do the alcohol ink inside and then cover the alcohol ink with latex paint it is a lot lot cheaper and it works a lot better. I have gorgeous ornaments done this way and I’ve done tons of them this way, I love the colors. I love that the white pulls down and lightens the colors in the draining process it’s amazing what you get and it’s so fun once you add the white over the metallic or the alcohol ink waiting to see what the white makes pop
so cool! what about putting it on lightbulbs?? or would the varnish be problematic.... inked lightbulbs could look cool hanging around a room. like little glowing planets. (?). :)
The inks are not lightfast so putting them in an intense light situation like that would make them fade fast. I also would have reservations about the varnish directly on a bulb. I have however, made light shade situations before. They turn out pretty cool, but one has to be ok with the colors fading quicker than most. Good Ideas here tho! Alcohol ink illuminated planets sound like a very cool plan. Making an inked orb and having a small light hanging inside would totally work.

Yes..I do it that way too, although the method shown here also produces nice results. Quite different, so why not try both ways :-)
Thank you for this tutorial. It was so helpful! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
And now I can create a custom ornament the whole family will treasure for years to come.
Thank you ❤
