Where can i buy alcohol ink in Adelaide for stamping?

Question: it is an alcohol based ink that enables you to stamp on surfaces like glass, metal and other surfaces that normal ink will not work on. i have only seen it for sale on the internet. i would like to see the colours before i buy it.

Answer: Well, I didn't know you could stamp permanently on glass with alcohol inks (did you mean some kind of glass paint ink instead, which could be alcohol-based I guess?), but you should be able to find them at craft stores or rubberstamping, or perhaps at scrapbooking stores or art suppy stores. The two main brands of "alcohol inks" in the US anyway are Pinata by Jacquard, and Adirondack by Ranger. The Pinatas are purer, clearer colors, whereas the inks in the Adirondack line have been toned down. They can all be mixed together though to achieve new colors (just like mixing paint), or you could tone down the clearer Pinatas by mixing the complementary colors with each other a bit, etc --Adirondacks *can't* be mixed back to purer colors though. I'm sure there must be a link to seeing the actual colors of both inks on this page of my site, if you want to check it out, as well as [possibly getting more info on them too: http://glassattic.com/polymer/letters_inks.htm (...click on ALCOHOL INKS...) You could also check Heather Richmond's site in Australia to see if she carries alcohol inks: http://www.polymerclay.com.au (we use alcohol inks with polymer clay too, which is the only reason I know anything about them since I don't do regular rubberstamping) HTH, Diane B.
