Experimenting with India Ink in Resin

I wasn’t sure how the resin would react with ink dropped straight into it and then manipulated through the resin. I have previously played with ink in semi cured resin and achieved nice results.

The resin was poured into the silicone mat (29 x 39 cm) I used in a previous video, only this time I didn’t bend it around anything and let it cure as it.

To finish it off, it was mounted on to board and placed in a frame.

For this project you will need:

• 1 x silicone mat, approximately 5mm thick.
• Resin – I used 1.2 litres in the 39 x 29 cm mat
• Ink – I have only tried India Ink, you can experiment with ink you already have.
• Stones or Gems (Optional)
• Heat Gun or Blow Torch, for popping bubbles
• Frame for mounting (Optional)

I hope you enjoy this tutorial and it gives you ideas for your own India Ink and Resin art.
