I like this use of alcohol ink because its done inside the ball and fumes are contained. I am trying this for a festival coming up!
-
If you spray with canned air it will help dry and you wont get the pooling in the bottom.
-
I'd be inclined to use a cotton swab with a long stick to soak up some of the excess ink in the bottom of the bulb, so it dries quicker and you don't have quiet such a dark spot in the bottom.
-
The gesso idea is a great one. I'm going to try mixing gesso with a bit of flowtrol
-
very nice video! Liked that you showed all the permutations, and "saves"!
-
These are gorgeous and I will definitely be trying this technique ASAP. To help prevent the pooling can you dry the ink inside before adding the next drops of the same or different color of ink? I like that you are doing it inside of the ornament instead of on the outside like I have recently been seeing done. I used to make these with acrylic paint nearly starting back in 1994 and gave them as Christmas gifts. Later when I was teaching 3rd grade and again in first grade I made these with my students and they were gorgeous and we got a lot of positive feedback from their families and other teachers.

Thanks, what a great idea!
-
So pretty! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
-
These are so beautiful!
-
Very helpful.
-
Can you add a different color other than white after applying the alcohol ink such as silver or gold?
-
Is there a reason you put the ink on the inside and another puts it on the outside? Very new to this, but your work is beautiful! Some people paint them white, I’m confused…
-
What type of bulb dryer are you using? These are so interesting and beautiful.
-
What kind of white paint did you use?! Compatible with alcohol ink?!
-
Hi -alcohol inks need UV protection so they don’t fade - do you spray them at all ? I guess that’s difficult when the inks are inside.
-
thank you...this is exactly what I have been looking for. I would like to do them for gifts this year. I am hoping to be able to purchase these supplies here in Alberta...any suggestions?
-
Can you just dab outside with a sponge or roll it in plastic. I love the pin inks
-
The ornaments are beautiful and your tutorial was great, but next time if you could wear something lighter in color it would be easier for us to see the detail of your work. I don't want to miss any of the video. Thanks!
