Polymer Inspirations - techniques with alcohol inks

Well, yes I have been gone for a long time.  Have decided I am going to use my blog to collate my research and thinking for art and more.

At the moment I have been researching things to do with alcohol inks on polymer clay.

Below are some tutorials/resources I have found.
