INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1. Prepare your surface area, Inks will stain, so make sure you’re working on something you don’t mind getting messy.
Step 2: Take your clean tile, pour a little blending solution onto the tile. Then add your first color.
Step 3: Working quickly, use a straw or hairdryer to blow ink around the tile surface, creating patterns as the ink dries. You can continue to lighten the inks by adding more blending solution as you blow air to move the inks.
Step 4: Repeat step 3 with your next colors. Pro Tip: remember your color wheel and use complementary colors to achieve the best blends.
Step 5: Keep going until you’re happy with the patterns. There is no wrong way to play with alcohol inks!
Step 6: Set somewhere out of reach of your cat who hates your artwork and wants to mess everything up, let dry for 24-48 hrs.
Step 7: Seal with protective spray once completely dry. "Kamar Varnish" is a good spray to seal alcohol ink, and "Duplicolor Clearcoat Acrylic Enamel" has been recommended for coasters in particular. (acrylicpouring...)
Step 8: Enjoy all the compliments your friends will give you on your rad new coasters.
