42. Experimenting with Alcohol Inks | Functional Art

Welcome to the Beauty in the Broken channel; my name is Heather Gaffney. In today’s video, I experiment with alcohol inks. I used two different brands with different results. However, I think they combined beautifully to create this piece of functional art.

The purpose of this channel is to show beauty where there is sometimes chaos.

Chaos is often seen in both resin and acrylic paint pours. You have to work through the mess and follow various twists and turns to see the beauty that results.

Likewise, things in life aren’t always beautiful in the beginning, but if you look hard enough and often enough, you can find some beauty; you can even find beauty in the broken.

Don’t stop searching for beauty - it’s there if you look for it!
