Alcohol Ink and Sea Salt

   Fun with alcohol ink continues.  Here is a picture of one of my recent journals using the papers to cover my book boards.
  In this example, I saturated the surface of heavy watercolor paper with alcohol ink, sprinkled on sea salt and walked away.   The next day, after brushing off all the salt, this is what the paper looked like.   Alchemy !
   Each time I use this process I am amazed at the beautiful results.
 I have also recently discovered a wonderful binding product to use for the spine....
it is called Eco Leather.  This product is not actual leather, but has the durability and feel of leather.
