Playing with Alcohol Inks Again - PPF

I started with alcohol ink on acetate using 2 greens (meadow and lettuce),
a blue (stream), gold, and eggplant. The gold doesn't show well at all.
I didn't care for this combination and neither did my "friends" on FB, so
I used a photo altering program to change the colors (photo2). I thought
I could see a face so I rotated the photo and outlined images I saw in white
gel pen. This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

BTW - Is anyone else having emails not reaching bloggers to let them
know that there is a new comment on their blogs? Now almost all of
them, but not all, are coming to me with: mail delivery failure.

    these are really awesome! I love all the colours though it's fun to be able to change the tonality on a dime. Nice faces in the end :D

    Wonderful Faye- I just bought a range of AAI's and a kind of yupo paper but didn't find the muse and time to try this out yet...
    inspiring AAI work Faye!
    Happy weekend!

    Very cool idea to outline unexpected "finds" in your blobs! It reminds me of looking at the faux painting on my bathroom walls and seeing seahorses and people's faces, lol! Your comment problems I'm assuming are because you moderate comments. I don't moderate mine any more. I haven't had any problems with spamming, and I like that comments are automatically added. Hope you figure it out!

    The colourized version is gorgeous, on fire, and I can see the face clearly, as well as other creatures. They are always waiting there for us to release them. The final version is beautiful.

    How clever to find images in your ink drops. A bit like finding images in clouds.

    I love the altered colors - that's how you find the combos that work - by trying and changing. Have you ever tried alcohol inks on Yupo paper? - I've seen some gorgeous work on those papers.
