One thing is that the ink does come off with several washings. It is not permanent nor is it food safe.

I've used alcohol ink to dress up glass candle holders (votive or tea light) and they are beautiful. Takes only moments and you can create a beautiful set as a gift. I love these inks. I'm going to look for items at thrift shops and give them new life with the AI.

Really nice idea! I have been playing with alcohol inks on plastics but the results were not to my satisfaction. I will try it again with the blending solution. Thank u. I have also been trying porcelain pens and paints from Marabu. These u have to heat set-then they are machine washable. Are the alcohol inks on the tiles permanent? If so, one could try some cups and plates...? Thank you for

Hey Purrprints, thanks for stopping by. You can stamp directly onto the alcohol ink background using archival ink. This is the only kind of ink that will set on a non-porous surface and not have wonky chemical reactions with the alcohol ink. Alternatively, you could adhere an image directly to the background. I hope that helps!

what a cool tutorial! You got some really interesting results with this. I was wondering--is there any way to draw or stamp a definite shape on top of a tile once it's been decorated this way? (I love having abstract backgrounds behind my cats and this seem slike a cool way to do that if I can have my cats on top of the design somehow).

Btw, your indiego ad is what brought me here--very
