Summer Project #2 Ink Blots

Hi, so now I've got a little extra time to work on random projects that pop into my head.  So last night I decided to try another ink project and also to use up the last of a Bristol board pad.  I remembered looking at ink blots as a kid and thought why not make some. It was a quick and easy project!  Here is what you need to get started:

1. Ink: I recommend Bombay ink as it comes with its own dropper.  You can find this ink at Hobby Lobby just ask and they'll direct you to where they have it.  I used black but I think blue, green, purple, and red would work as well.
2. Bristol Board: Your favorite brand will do but for this project I used Canson Bristol Recycled XL 11x14 96lb. 

Yeah only two items this time.  

(You might want to use gloves and lay down some paper towels before starting this project.) 

So take 1 piece of Bristol board and fold it in half and then unfold it. Then open your ink and with the dropper very lightly drop ink on one half of the Bristol. Little drops are optimum any more and you'll make a mess. Refold the Bristol and quickly rub the folded paper no longer than the count of three then unfold the Bristol and Abracadabra you have your very own ink blot. 

Featured here are the inkblots that I made.  Hope you have some fun if you want to give this project a try!
