Using the book, Pigments of Your Imagination (see last post), I went through a few descriptions and tried my hand at different papers.
The alcohol inks don't smell strong but the smell does linger so make sure you air out the room a bit while working or after...
Tried a test color on:
Arches hot press - soaked right into the paper like a blotter = no good
Tyvek "paper" = also soaked right into the paper like a blotter = no good
Then tried putting the inks down on TerraSkin directly and on a styrofoam plate and "printing" the image onto the TerraSkin (just made a blob - a pretty blob but still just a blob).
Putting it on TerraSkin directly, it smooshed and softened a lot.
More experiments to come...so far, nothing special for me in this medium so maybe just a toy to add to something sometime...
