Today's Think Monday, Think ATC challenge was to use the alcohol inks on transparency technique. The video is in German, but the visuals are easy to follow. This week's Mixed Media Monday challenge is mermaids. The mermaid stamp is from the Altered Book Club, the wave stamp is from Rubbernecker and the dolphin eyelets are from The Eyelet Outlet.

A funky gluebook-style novel that almost didn't make it past the 50 page mark, but then there was an interesting twist that's got me reading to the end. I bought it for the style, I'm reading it because the story gets interesting after those first few pages.Eric Maisel: The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression
I avoided this book for so long UNTIL I saw Eric Maisel at Artella as part of his virtual book tour. The book accomplished its goal and I'm working on a new research project. Something I haven't done in way too long.
I am a bit late but just cant miss that. Gorgeous work ! With the proper equipment, this is a really wonderful technique. The clear film has to be the right stuff!
