I love new materials, and alcohol ink is proving to be most interesting and beautiful. Years ago, I did quite a few reverse painted glass wind chimes, with acrylic paint. Alcohol ink is similar, but more challenging as it needs to be UV protected. So working with this ink is art and science.

For my sea glass, people frequently ask if I do not have any red, or purple. Alcohol ink more than satisfactorily solves this desire, as the colors are so brilliant. 

So for the red lovers, for the purple lovers, and the gold and silver lovers, here's to you!

See all my recent alcohol works, both suncatchers and wind chimes, here at Coast Chimes.
