Supply List

Alcohol inks 3 minimum

Piñata Inks by Jacquard

Tiles 4.25 x 4.25 (I like to do tiles so I buy a box of them at the hardware store.) White tiles and glazed.

small dish or cup to put alcohol ink

Liquid Frisket my favorite brand is Pebeo, and small brush and container for soapy water

“drip pan” I use an old plastic top to spinach (I have some to share if you do not eat vegetables

I like to use freezer paper turn waxy side down for covering table surface. You also buy a roll of it at Costco,

8×10 glass (the edge should be wrapped with tape for safety) or stiff surface to paint with Yupo . This is optional you will see it in the videos.
