Polished Stone
I had so much fun with the ladies who came to my "Unique Backgrounds" class yesterday! One of the techniques we used is called "polished stone". It is achieved by wetting a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Then you squirt 3-4 small drops of 3-4 different inks, including one metallic ink.
