I love working with these alcohol inks, but the bottles this brand sells them in do not seal well…and I’m very tired of having ink on the outside getting all over my hands.
Inspired by the modular pen holder design in the catalog I used the boxes.py divider tray as a start and ended here:
It’s a 2 board piece that you’ll see once you download the .svg above.
In a perfect world it’d be made out of acrylic so you can see what colour you’re pulling - but for at least the short term I’m out of clear acrylic, so I’m using the cardboard one!
It’ll hold 24 objects, and then there’s an open space at the bottom (I built it a little fence so that as you’re using you can still keep them angled up - but I didn’t cut that out of the cardboard version so you don’t see it here)
Thanks for the share! Why do you prefer this alcohol ink over other brands?
Every time you post, I want to pull together a gathering of those of us who are in the crafty realm. I think it would be awesome to hang out for a day and play with a bunch of art/craft supplies.
I’ve only tried two, and the other was more like a marker while these squeeze out droplets. I really like working with alcohol inks, and these have nice pigmentation and enough in the bottle I can do multiple projects with them.
That’s super clever! I’m a simple person; any time I see a bunch of flat sheets go together and produce an object with interesting angles, it seems like magic.
This is why I so desperately want to figure out Fusion 360, but each time I try either the tutorial I’m watching doesn’t match what I’m seeing, or they say to do something with zero clue how and I get frustrated :-/
