Never tried alcohol inks before; now I really want to!By CustomerThough Irsquo;d made projects with ink before and I love crafting; I wasnrsquo;t familiar with alcohol inks before I read this book. After reading it; Irsquo;m sort of surprised that I hadnrsquo;t heard of them earlier! The projects in this book are easy and fun; and with the holidays fast approaching; I think itrsquo;s not a bad idea to consider whether Auntie Sue or Cousin Annie would like a colorful; handmade gift or some kind. I think the jewelry dish looked particularly pretty; or one of the several lamps that are described. I really appreciated the variety of projects; because sometimes crafting books can get stuck in a rut where you make the same kinds of things over and over again and then canrsquo;t figure out what to do with them. But with the ceramics and glass products described here; I can actually see myself using many of these. Especially the lampsmdash;I already mentioned that I liked them; but now that I have my own apartment I realize how expensive cool lighting can be! These projects look like a great alternative to buying fancy lighting options.A couple of the projects might be difficult to do if you donrsquo;t do a lot of crafting or canrsquo;t get specialty suppliesmdash;namely; some of the wall art requires using and cutting wood; and the ornament project asks for an embossing machine. Surprisingly; the furniture projects all looked easy; though I have yet to try them myself. The one Irsquo;m most likely to try next; again given the upcoming holidays; is the Christmas ball ornament project; because Christmas ornaments are also shockingly expensive.Overall; this book was a great intro to the possibilities of crafting with alcohol inks; and Irsquo;m excited to try mimicking the look of more expensive; store-bought home furnishings on my own.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Impress your friendsBy AwesomeBEAOkay; so I cant get over how many great ideas is in this book. Things I would have never thought to use alcohol inks on. This book has enough crafts to keep me busy through the next year!The instructions are detailed and straightforward; with clear; color pictures for each step of the process. Some of the crafts Ive picked out to work on:Colorful Seashell Mobile; Galaxy Ombre Sneakers and Sketchy Floral Sneakers; Coaster Set; and the Marbled Note cards. I have a holiday party coming up and the theme is ldquo;Masquerade.rdquo; I was going to buy a mask; but looking at the technique Allison Murray includes in her book; I am willing to take the time to make a unique quality piece that will get a rave from everyone. And because Im using alcohol inks; I can customize the mask to me as opposed the other way around.I am still relatively new to using alcohol inks; but the crafts in this book look so inviting and fun; any apprehension I may have goes away. Also; they are so many crafts for varying skill levels; this book can be used for years. I dont think Irsquo;ll be ready to decorate a chair any time soon; but Irsquo;ll have this book of my shelf whenever itrsquo;s time!
