A word of warning regarding Rorschach ink blots...

[Timstuff]

If it's 4:00 AM and you suddenly find yourself saying "Hmm... I think I'm going to try making a Rorschach ink blot!" GET SLEEP IMMEDIATELY. I unfortunately made the mistake of not doing that. Now, I've got a giant black ink stain on my pants, and I ended up spilling ink on my desk and $2000 MacBook Pro and Wacom tablet (I was able to clean it up, but it did leave a stain on my Mac that I'm not sure will go away). I'm just glad I didn't get a noticeable amount on the carpet, or I might lose the security deposit on my dorm.

So basically, it's like this:

ink + paper + burning desire to see Watchmen - sleep = BAD THINGS!

If you want to make an ink blot, do it the right way-- outdoors, wearing junky clothes, and using an eyedropper for the ink. I unfortunately didn't do that, and all I've got to show for it is a messy piece of paper, stained pants, and a little black smudge on my laptop. I'm just fortunate that it was just ink, and not gasoline or something dumb like that...

Just because its an "ink blot" doesnt mean you have to use ink. Craft store acrylic paint is alot less messier. Acrylic comes out better than a stain/ink.

Yeah, but it was 4 in the morning.
