Creating My Happiness with Alcohol Ink Art

My mother is the most creative person I know. Growing up she used to make clothes for her dolls from fabric scraps. If the scissors in their house were missing, her mom would call out, “Kristie, go clean your room!”. She has instilled that same creativity (and love of scissors) in me, so ever since I can remember, I have loved art. I love to draw, and make things. I was scrolling through Instagram one day and happened upon an artist’s account @_ksenyart_. She was creating the most beautiful pieces using a medium I had never heard of or seen before- alcohol ink. Alcohol ink is a highly pigmented ink mixed with alcohol. Once the alcohol dries, and it does so rather quickly, it leaves behind the dye and some incredible designs! I was immediately inspired to try it out for myself. I guarantee that once you see it, you will want to, too! Alcohol ink was a new and exciting challenge, and I was up for it!
