November 28, 2018 at 5:32 am #735808Really cool effects with those inks Kay, I really like these works of yours.
Is the ink lightfast and what surface works best?

Inks are lightfast and will work on a multitude of surfaces. I like using the following:
Yupo synthetic paper
Deli or freezer paper by Reynolds
Glossy photo paper
Canvas paper sheets from a pad
Aluminum foil
Glass
Foamcore
Wax paper
Shiny or slick surface paper
Watercolor paper that has gesso appliedKay
