Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks

So I will say this, Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks are super fun!

Way back in the days alcohol inks were very expensive and I couldn't afford them, but that didn't stop me from experimenting and create my own. So I've made a video called Alcohol Ink Home Made Tutorial, today this is one of my most viewed videos on my YouTube channel and it was the most fun thing to do since I was just working with materials that I had around the house. The only thing I bought was photo paper so I've could had a nice surface to work with but it was not expensive. The main idea was that Tim Holtz was working with them on the Tag of July of 2012 and I wanted to have the same effect and so I did. The results were super cool and I had a lot of fun you can check my blog post of these event here.

Well but those days are gone and now I've manage to get some legit Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, guess what I'm hooked and I've realize what I've missed all these years.

July is around the corner and I wanted to make some backgrounds to make make cards with the alcohol inks and learn the use of this inks, Tim Holtz has many videos on how to use Alcohol Inks you can do some research and you will find tons of information.

The first thing to learn was that Yupo Paper and Specialty Stamping Paper is the best thing to use for this medium. When I started to lay down the colors I was just in aaaaw of how pigmented and beautiful they are and the way the behave. I still need more to learn about this medium but I had a lot of fun making these cards. I don't have a video yet about this but I might need to work on one.

Mixed Media Art Journal

Well, I finally started a Mixed Media Art Journal recently. I've been wanting to do this for quite a while but it has taken some time cause I've been gathering some material that I didn't have to create this project. But after hard work and patience I got some cool things, not the best though but art material that will help me create my art. I want to thank all the people that have help me and donate money to keep me going with my Art projects they know who they are. Mixed media has been one of those things that I've always liked, when I was at Art school people was more concentrated on doing perfection while I was going wild and there is when I've realized that I love to worked with Mixed Media Art. Unfortunately I don't have any of the things I did in the past, long story but I'm here now to show you what I'm capable of with my mind and hands.
