You can't control the ART!

Trying something new in 2022 also means trying new things with art supplies. I use ink with my markers all the time but sometimes its fun to play with inks themselves!

The experimentation and exploration using the February Smart Art Box is amazing to see, thank you so much for sharing! March's box is a total curveball, I think you're going to have so much fun with it!

How funny that the dotting tools were in there! Great video, Valerie, as always. ❤️

The straw blowing brought back memories with the blow pens I loved using in childhood but the dizziness was no joke 😅 That bookmark looking strip was surprisingly inspiring, I wonder if I will venture into cutting some paper into strips and challenge myself to create several different bookmarks and see how creativity progresses. 😍 Right now for bookmarks I use different buisness cards I got through the years with Amazon orders so the opportunity for art here is surprisingly huge. 😍

If I have an art price I don’t really like I often cut out the good parts into squares and fold it into origami to add to my paper crane collection!

Btw I love you're channel and you always make my day brighter! Because of you're tutorials I learned how to draw horses :)

Those were really pretty inks but I would be so dizzy even with good ventilation! 😂

[fuzzydragons]

i just use a hair dryer to blow the inks around which can be dangerous if you use a lot of ink. dont recommend it anywhere near a white carpet lol

The makers of alcohol ink do not recommend using straws - bad for your health. Stick to the air blower, hair dryer, etc.

The Marabu inks are gorgeous but the smell is horrible. Worse than other brands. For long term use it's best to wear a safety mask. You can also try a craft heat gun to move the ink, hairdryer, canned air or airbrush. Diluting with IP definitely helps. Unfortunately Yupo tends to stain, but other papers such as Nara don't stain. I like the stencil. Check out Randi H Art. She creates beautiful alcohol ink art.
