Lessons Learned

I’ve been working on a resin/alcohol ink technique call petri-dish. After pouring the resin, I add alcohol inks to the back surface, then top with sinker white ink (really simplified instructions). The white pushes at the colors and sinks through. It is still a work in progress. They are mostly too blotchy to use. I’ve worked the technique at room temperature and haven’t gotten the petri affect, so I tried this batch on a heat table designed to cure the resin a little faster. It actually thins the resin a bit, allowing the colors to sink more. I think if I set my heat at a lower temperature I might get the in between that I want. Colors sinking without the blothches.

Anyways, this is what the pieces looked like from the back while they were curing:
