Alcohol Ink on Other Surfaces

To do your art on other substances like ceramic pitchers, old vases, coffee cups or wine glasses you need to prepare your substance ahead. 

For ceramic pitchers I paint over the old colors either with Gesso or Kilz primer in white.  For clear glass I just clean the glass well and paint.

After I paint by drip, drop, or brush on the surface I resin it so that it can be used.  If I am doing a set of coasters, I line them up and attempt to repeat the pattern and colors.  This takes some planning.

I do a lot of ceramic white tiles for coasters, trivets, or framing.  I purchase the white tiles from Home Depot of Lowes or have them order a box of 100 tiles.  It is so easy and forgiving to paint on tile.   

Resining is a whole other subject that you need to view on YouTube because it must be precise.  I have purchased ArtResin on Amazon and I am happy with the results, but you can purchase other brands for less cost.

People are very innovative about what they can paint on.  I got some plywood to make a table for my art room.  I used the leftover plywood to do an acrylic pour after prepping it with Kilz Primer.  Our son loves the new abstract art I created and wants to put it in his home.   The danger here is that everything I see COULD become art - stay out of my way folks!
