Yep - It's Another Flower.........................

I really tried to push the inks on this one and used both a drinking straw and canned air in the attempt to move the ink around quickly.

 I was trying to create the long, stringy tentacles, but not the watery droplets, but actually like the effect of both.  As with earlier images, the places that overlap and go very dark and sticky right away are disappointing.
 Since this also looked floral, I decided to to into the images with the black Micron pen to add some line drawings the emphasize the flower and leaf-like qualities. 
 Kinda fun, but I am not sure this is a keeper, either.  The combination of alcohol inks and YUPO substrate is very interesting, however, and I see why some artists have switched to this medium as their primary expressions.  Is anyone giving this a try?  JoAnn fabrics have some great coupons right now that making the purchase of a couple of 3-sets of Adirondick alcohol ink packs pretty affordable........
