I dont know about other inks but tim holtz alcohol inks stick to almost anything. Its also good for dirtying windowns and things like that.<br />You can even paint with acrylic paint by first painting a bright orange, then adding shades of darker orange and rusty colours dabbing here and there. Then to tone it down use in tiny amounts dabbed here and there raw umber. I do this on metal items and it looks better than scenic rust in my opinion. It also means you get exactly what you want in all the right places and the right quantities.<br />Nikki xnikkinikkinikki72https://www.blogger.com/profile/05767492628469316379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460526063111576797.post-40444486358069450352009-08-26T06:38:39.176+01:002009-08-26T06:38:39.176+01:00my whole shed is a material box LOL and its overfl...my whole shed is a material box LOL and its overflowing ! have that wonderful sweeney todd book too with all the costume design sketches, its fab :0)<br />look forward to seeing the decorated chest, the arm will be a sweeney housewarming pressie, ;0)<br />julie xxxjulie campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902081962358238140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460526063111576797.post-75140709471991766182009-08-25T22:20:36.039+01:002009-08-25T22:20:36.039+01:00Julie, your a love, I think i'll take you up o...Julie, your a love, I think i'll take you up on that!

I cant find any suitable material for Perellis arm! it needs a pleated white cuff, blue satin sleeve with gold braiding, have you any such material in your stash???!!! thanks for the rust advice. Does ink work on plastic do you know?
