Get Crafty With Alcohol Ink Tiles

By Amy Green


It is nice to relax with an art project, and it is even better when you can combine that with quality time with friends or family members. While a lot of people are not classically trained painters or natural born artists, there are plenty of arts and crafts activities that anyone can do. Alcohol ink tiles are a very popular choice.

Some of the main things that are needed for this type of a project include tile coasters, inks in the desired colors, paint, spray sealers, and brushes. These are all not very expensive to buy, so this can be a project that stays within a reasonable budget. However, it is always possible to get the very best inks and other supplies if the project being made is intended to be of superior quality.

A lot of people are familiar with the expression, "It's the thought that counts, " when it comes to gifts. Nothing shows more thought, time, care and effort than giving the gift of a well-crafted art project. After completing one of these tiles, a very good way of putting it to good use is by gifting it to someone who means a lot to you, strengthening the relationship.

Many people would love to have some quality time with the kids by painting, but many parents worry about the potentially lasting damage it could have on their home or possessions. By ensuring that there is a protective surface to prevent anything being painted but the tile, a parent can breathe easy and not have to worry about their valuables.

Before adding color to the tile, it is highly important to make sure it is cleaned of completely first with an alcoholic solution. Failing to do so can result in irregularities like hairs or small dead bugs being a part of your beautiful artwork. While the best artists are innovative, it is hard to make that work for a Mother's Day project.

The painters who might have the easiest time getting used to this slightly different form of creating art are those who have used watercolors. That is because the process of dropping the liquid inks onto a surface coated with alcohol is slightly comparable to the way watercolors interact together. However, it is not hard for anyone to learn.

Those who have more of a slow and steady pace to art might have a difficult time with dropping colors in at first. Because of the liquids involved, the colors have a tendency to wander from where the artist intended them to go. This can make the end result very beautiful, but it can sometimes make it hard to create what you see in your head.

It is very important to have everything placed and ready to go before getting started. Once the project begins, there will be no time to fumble around and look for that one special color that you need. Carefully setting out all the inks that will be used in the order they are needed in is most helpful.
