Abstract painting of waterfall using Jacquard alcohol inks

I'm still practicing with my alcohol inks. I've been watching several people on youtube and collecting their tips on alcohol ink painting. I love watching youtube. This is what I came up with on my own and I actually like it. I had no idea what I was going to make when I started this painting.

I think that is why bottled alcohol inks are so fun though,

Deer Painted with Alcohol ink on yupo

I thought that i'd share a deer that I painted today with alcohol inks. Painting with alcohol inks is not always easy. If you've ever used Adirondack, Tim Holtz or Jacquard bottled alcohol ink you'd know that they have a mind of their own sometimes. lol. With that Said I'm determined to master them.

I found a deer photo in one of my sons hunting magazines to use as a reference.  I decided to give it a go. I did draw this deer using a reference photo first. Then using a small paint brush I painted the alcohol inks onto yupo paper. I'm planning on making this into a card.

Here are the results

Aren't these adorable Christmas Tags? I've really had a thing for gingerbread , dies and peeker critters lately. These tags were made using a file from Treasure Box designs called Treasured Recipes.

Santa hat with Penguin peeker tags

I'm back and I have another Christmas tag share. Of course, right? lol. 

I'm having loads of fun completing Christmas gift tags. I plan on selling them again during the next craft fair. They sold better then I expected so I thought that I'd start now. Not only that, I give tags to my family members at Thanksgiving for Christmas. To make enough for both I need to keep on going.
