A week or so ago when I blogged about my recent makes with alcohol inks I was asked by Rebeca, from rebeccaevanscreate.com, about painting with alcohol inks on tiles. I urge you to check out her blog - she paints the most stunning pictures. I had never even thought about painting on tiles but was intrigued... Continue Reading →
