Make your creations stand out with this Kamenskaya Bright Red alcohol-based ink, designed to add intense color to your resin projects.
This shade of red immediately catches the eye and can be adjusted depending on the amount used. Its liquid texture makes it easy to mix with the resin and also allows you to create more spontaneous patterns using a toothpick. To create Petri effects, always combine this color with a special white Petri paint and add a drop of white after each drop of color. The white draws the pigments to the bottom and helps create the distinctive shapes characteristic of this technique. Since the ink contains alcohol, never use it with a burner.
What is the difference between standard alcohol-based ink and special Petri-effect alcohol-based ink?
Standard alcohol-based inks are used to color the resin and create marbled effects, color gradients, or swirling patterns. Kamenskaya “Petri Effect” alcohol inks forresin, on the other hand, have been specially formulated with alcohol, pigments, and polymers to achieve the Petri Art technique. They allow you to create more intricate patterns, with colored filaments that sink into the resin and spread out deep within it.
Why use it with a special white Petri-effect ink?
The white ink plays an essential role in creating the Petri effect! Unlike conventional white ink, which is used simply for coloring, the special Petri white ink acts as a “sinker.” When applied after the drops of colored ink, it pulls them toward the bottom of the resin, creating branches, filaments, and stunning depth effects.
What can you create with this bright red ink?
Use it to make vibrant pendants, earrings, cabochons, or small resin decorations. Pair it with pink to create a monochromatic look, with black for a graphic composition, or with gold to add more contrast. This tutorial on making resin cabochons with alcohol-based inks is perfect for experimenting with the diffusion of bold colors.
Tips for use:
- Use a resin with a curing time of no more than 24 hours.
- Mix the resin thoroughly with the hardener to prevent defects in your finished piece; stir slowly to avoid trapping excess air bubbles inside.
- Pour the resin in a thin stream to minimize air bubbles within the resin layer.
- Work on a flat surface and cover it with a protective material to keep it secure.
- You can begin working once the bubbles rise to the surface and you’ve removed them.
- After each drop of color, use white. The white color blends with the colored paint, creating effects within the resin’s thickness.
- Use only special white paint designed for marbling, with luminous, translucent shades. Only this paint has a composition that allows you to create marbling effects with these inks.
- Shake the paint jars regularly before applying each drop to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Do not let the paint fall near the silicone edging, as this prevents it from sinking into the resin.
- If the resin is too runny, wait 20 to 30 minutes before starting to work with the paint. This will increase the viscosity, and the paint won’t sink too far to the bottom. The more runny the resin is, the more likely the paint is to sink to the bottom.
