Book of Backgrounds #16

In this first experiment, I’ll start applying fluid acrylics, then testing out the permanence of ink with heat setting and applying matte medium.

I have never used the Memento ink. I use Ranger Archival for permanent ink on multi media – no smell like Stazon has.
I think that the issue with the Momento ink smearing and not being permanent, even after heat setting, was due to the acrylic paint- it made the surface no longer porous.

I use Stazon ink when I want it permanent. Normally I use Ranger inks. Loved the video.

Thank you! I’m going to be experimenting using Stayzon ink on dried resin and then pouring resin on that for mixed media jewelry.

I remember you saying to leave an area for a focal point. I think it was you. I watch so many vids. I do like smudged and smushed. I’m new to this craft so haven’t tested the permanence of the ink.
