Members Stetson912 Posted April 21, 2017 Members Report Posted April 21, 2017 Sweet. Looks good to me. And there's nothing g else out there like it. Quote
Members cjartist Posted April 21, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 21, 2017 Thanks Stetson. The front of it was where I tried some oil and it came out a little faded. Resolene is definitely the way to go with these inks. Quote Check out my Unique Marketing Strategy and see if it might also work for you to get paid for your art.
Members battlemunky Posted April 21, 2017 Members Report Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah, pretty cool. I think it is a great start, now you have to find a way to sharpen it. I think it is quite awesome, don't get me wrong, but the slanty side looks a bit muddy. I hate to mention it up because I have zero ideas on how to help fix it. Quote

Members Stetson912 Posted April 22, 2017 Members Report Posted April 22, 2017 For those following this thread, I found a product that caught my attention. It's a marbling kit. Their website mentions it can be used on leather(they specialize in paints for fabric and paper) but it did mention leather. I ordered it and will do my best to capture the process and post pics of my failures and successes to see if this is also a viable option or not. The company name was Jacquard I believe. If anyone wants to look into them as well. I am inspired by cjartist's results here and have to give it a go myself Quote

Seems like it should have worked because it is alcohol based, but it didn't work for me. So yes, I used suminagshi inks on top of straight water. I have not experienced any rub off, but I have found is that using oil after these inks is not good. It tends to fade the color. Sealing it with resolene or super shene works quite well though. It really is a fun little project. Since oil floats, I will have to see if fiebings will work mixed with some oil. Did you mix it when you tried feibings? Quote
Members cjartist Posted June 14, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 14, 2017 No, I did not. In it's raw form it just sank so that is a good idea. Quote Check out my Unique Marketing Strategy and see if it might also work for you to get paid for your art.
