How to make it
Alcohol ink and 91 percent alcohol are flammable, so work away from flames and spray sealers outdoors.
1Clean the tiles
Wipe each tile with rubbing alcohol to remove fingerprints. Ink slides off greasy spots.
2Drop on the ink
Add 3 to 5 drops of ink in 2 or 3 colors. Leave some white space.
3Move it around
Tilt the tile and blow through a straw to push the ink. Add a drop of alcohol where you want it to bloom.
4Let it dry
Leave the tiles flat for 24 hours. The ink smudges at the slightest touch until then.
5Seal outdoors
Spray 2 light coats of the alcohol ink varnish outside, 15 minutes apart. Then add 2 coats of gloss sealer.
6Add the feet
Wait 3 days for full cure, then stick felt or cork pads to the back corners.
Heads up: regular sealers can reactivate alcohol ink and smear it. Use the varnish made for alcohol ink first, then topcoat.
