New Hampshire’s Mary Anne Williams Knapp has been refining her alcohol ink skills for a long time and these polymer brooch beauties are her most recent results.

Mary Anne has learned how far to push the inks so that they still retain their vibrance. 

How do you push your work? Do you find you go too far, not far enough, or do you land somewhere in the middle? (I get discouraged by the dark stains on my fingers.)

Visit her Facebook page, her blog and Etsy shop to see what Mary Anne has learned.
