Add a pop of color to your creations with this Kamenskaya Orange alcohol ink, perfect for creating vibrant effects in resin.
The orange shade lets you create dynamic designs and pairs easily with red, yellow, pink, or brown. Thanks to its liquid texture, it spreads quickly and can be worked with a toothpick to customize the patterns. To create Petri effects, always use a special white Petri paint in addition: follow each drop of color with a drop of white to draw the pigments deeper into the resin. If the resin is still too runny, waiting a few minutes can help you achieve more controlled patterns. The presence of alcohol precludes the use of a burner.
What’s 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 down to the bottom of the resin, creating branches, filaments, and stunning depth effects.
What can you do with this orange ink?
Create jewelry in sunny hues, marbled cabochons, small decorative elements, or accessories in fall colors. Combine it with pink for a vibrant gradient or with chocolate brown for a more earthy palette.

Usage tips:
- 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.
- 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.
