PROJECTS JODI HARRIS PHOTOGRAPHS NICOLAS GOURGUECHON WORDS BECKY HOSCHEKGET INKEDAcid-free, highly pigmented, and fast-drying, alcohol inks are a great match
for nonporous surfaces like glass. To get this look on a glass candleholder, this photo, start
by placing cardboard under the project (the ink will run). Drip colored and metallic inks
onto the glass, then drip alcohol blending solution over them and watch the inks spread
and run together. To further blend the colors, spray a light mist of rubbing alcohol. Let dry.
