I personally love to dye paper. Its almost like creating mini pieces of abstract art. The method I use its nearly impossible to predict the exact outcome of the paper, which makes the process so exciting. Sometimes you will achieve a beautiful marble effect, others you will create interesting splotches and dots. each page is just as beautiful and unique as the next.

Has your child or even you ever lost the cap to a marker? And what a shame the whole thing just dries up and goes to waste. Well not anymore! it can become your very own homemade alcohol ink in just a few simple steps. Alcohol ink is wonderful for distressing paper, creating lovely backgrounds, stamping, calligraphy, and so much more. It can become expensive. So being able to make your own with something that would be headed for the bin otherwise is a huge win. Especially after you create something beautiful with it.
