Alcohol Ink Demonstration

Wow! What a great time LAG members had at their April 3rd monthly meeting.  Anna Alchde from Urban Legends gave a wonderful talk and demo to our group, and many tried  this fascinating medium.  She brought all the supplies and everyone got to take home one or two of their craft.  Great questions from the group, and I hope everyone learned something that they maybe will apply to their own work.  Technique, material, etc.
