Alcohol Ink. More Alcohol Ink. Someone Stop Me Before...

Everything in my house is faux-finished with alcohol ink. So I started this table the other day. I'd already done one in browns and golds. It came out lovely. I decided to try for a marbled effect. It worked okay until I started on the apron of the table. I'm going to paint over that with white. I think the table will be lovely with just the top finished. I used Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Inks in Pitch Black, Rust and Gold.

I used the felt dauber and daubed around the arc of the table, constantly blending with Adirondack Blending Solution. You don't need much of it. Once I had the color on, I "marbled" simply by drizzling the Blending solution randomly across the table. Again, less is more. Do a little and see how it looks. It's very easy to get splotchy with this solution. :)

I like it. Comments are welcome. Remember, I'm painting over the "apron" of the table, which is why that appears unfinished.
