Great idea especially the way you have attached it. now I know how to use those inks I won on your blog earlier in the year.

Too many dead spots between where I live and Nottingham. I loved this when you did this on TV and the addition of colours brings it to anothe level. Looks like I need to think about investing in some alcohol inks, but you have brought us so many techniques which are new to me I think I had better try these first. Not complaining though as I really enjoy your daily blog and it is a must read everyday no matter how busy I am.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519276704164614576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-87498143657081304572014-03-27T12:40:39.759+00:002014-03-27T12:40:39.759+00:00brilliant piece of artwork barb

I've avoided the inks since but I think I might just have to have another go! As you say, just play and have fun and see what happens - it doesn't need to be perfect. I'm also starting to get used to the "just keep going" idea - especially with the Gelli plate. It's not until it's all done that it looks like something special, on the way it can definitely look a bit dodgy!DBL28https://www.blogger.com/profile/09637677477803975437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-42093169543789849082014-03-27T12:20:25.898+00:002014-03-27T12:20:25.898+00:00Amazing with the acetate overlay, and what a good ...Amazing with the acetate overlay, and what a good idea to do some copies of the original artwork!
