Alcohol Inks

Playing with alcohol inks this morning, I forgot how interesting they are to work with...simply dripping and layering,adding some blending solution,splatter some gold leaf marker,add more ink,tilting the paper..adding adding adding until you are happy with what you see. Fun stuff.

Purchasing dies

With the cost of postage sky rocketing for over seas orders I wanted to let people know that I can send one or two dies much cheaper if we do business away from Ebay- if we use Ebay I am required to use their mailing labels for shipping items so the cost is roughly $6.50 to mail one or two dies BUT if I put the same dies in a regular envelope with postage stamps it only costs $1.30..the only down side is that there is no tracking available.
If you are interested in purchasing dies this way just send me an email at morningsunstudio@hotmail.com
and tell me what dies you'd like from my Ebay store or I can special order items if you aren't in a hurry.

Art Journal

I am not feeling the need to add any words to this page...just experimenting with layers. I ruined three black pens doing the squiggles...a fine tipped sharpie,a micron and a pilot...anyone know of a pen that will write over inks,paints and oil pastels without dying? Maybe a dip pen with india ink? But I wouldn't be able to get the continuous line I am after...dip pens are so frustrating. Well at any rate...I will call this page done for now.
