Have you heard of Bombay India Inks?
They are bright, vibrant and concentrated pingment inks that come in bottles like these.
Unscrew the cap and out comes a dropper that allows you to drop the color onto the substrate that you are working on. You can treat the ink like intense watercolors in a bottle.
I decided to make some art journaled tags and so just as I would with watercolors, I brushed part of the tag with water, dropped some yellow Bombay ink and let it dry. Then I wet the upper portion and dropped a bit of magenta Bombay ink and let it do its thing.
So cool, dont you think?
Once the tags were dry, I journaled on them with my calligraphy pens.
Happy creating. :)
i love bombay inks! use them all the time.
so fun!

Is that not a fact, "art is the only way to run away without leaving home." I think I'll pack a suitcase now as a matter of fact. Or screw it, I'll just up and GO!
