Internal Flower ~ alcohol inks

8x8 alcohol inks on white foamcore done today.  Since the design was taking the shape of stamens and petals I decided it looked exactly like the inside center of a flower.  The inks are a bit more easily controlled when using foamcore as a substrate or support. Black center tiny shapes were added at the end very carefully.Image COPYRIGHT 2016 Kay Smith.

I didn't know alcohol could be such a grace :)
