Upcycled Glass Lamp with Alcohol Inks

I spotted this broken, chippy paint and grungy lamp at an Estate Sale and knew exactly what I was going to do with it. I removed the white chippy paint and all the lamp parts.

After painting it with alcohol inks I will add a rechargeable battery operated light with maybe a shade or just some fairy lights in the glass base.

This is where its at so far.

I tested some combinations that worked out great on glossy paper but not on glass. Great thing that its easy to remove with Isopropyl.
