Add warmth to your creations with this Kamenskaya Rowanberry alcohol-based ink, which is perfect for adding deep, translucent orange hues to resin.
Thanks to its fluid consistency, this ink blends easily with resin and allows you to create a wide variety of colorful effects. Its warm tone can be used on its own, in a gradient, or combined with other shades to create organic patterns. The bottle contains 15 ml of ink with high lightfastness. To achieve Petri effects within the resin’s thickness, always combine the translucent shades with a special white Petri paint: apply a drop of color followed by a drop of white to gradually draw the color toward the bottom. If your resin is very runny, wait about 20 to 30 minutes before starting to prevent the pigments from sinking too quickly. This ink contains alcohol; therefore, avoid any open flames or the use of a burner.
What is the difference between a standard alcohol-based ink and a 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 alcohol-based inks with the special Petri effectfor resin, 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 Rowanberry color?
Its warm hue is ideal for fall-inspired jewelry, cabochons with marbled effects, or small decorative resin pieces. Use it with a Glass Lack epoxy resin suitable for your project, carefully following the mixing ratios.

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.
- 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.
