Alcohol Ink Art

Framed Tiles
Welcome to Dragonfly’s Wings – a place where you can find brilliantly colored designs created with alcohol-ink and delight. Please take your time scrolling through my designs and enjoy the color, the intricate mingling of hues, and the designs they find themselves in.
Alcohol-ink is a fascinating medium to work in – affording a myriad of possibilities created by inking tiles, metals, or non-porous paper. What starts out as a blank space ends up somewhere totally different than was originally planned – such is the nature of how the inks blend and dry and create their own world.
I have found great joy in working with the inks in three different ways.

Tiles
Alcohol inks are happiest on smooth, shiny non-porous surfaces like ceramic tiles. I use many different sizes and shapes of ceramic tiles to keep my inks happy and designs interesting.
Framed Tiles
My inked tiles also come with frames specifically chosen to set off the beauty of the design and this way you don’t have to figure out how to hang them.
Framed Yupo
Yupo paper is a special non-porous paper with a plasticized finish that lets the inks do what they do best – spread and blend. I frame my Yupo designs to enhance the colors and WOW the design.
Other Art
Alcohol ink makes everything brighter and happier. I can make you a set of earrings from metal pieces, we can color plain white dishes and trays. Ceramic balls become magical wishing balls and my designs translate nicely into greeting and note cards.
