What fun.❤
Thank you Rhonda x
Such a FUN video!! You really had me with your 'captioning'! LOL I loved that bit most of all I think!! Made me feel like I was in the room with you ! Giggling along. Honestly- can I say?- I think the first coaster looked like a flower with just the inks dropped on.. (Yes- the indigo, the indigo! I was saying... ) . Once you moved it around it looked less like a flower... have a rewatch and see what you think? It was good that you could just wipe the slate clean and start over!! A bit of ink spent trying is worth it- having to buy new coasters would be a bummer. I also adored the 'spattered' look where the ink dotted up - it reminded me very much of the edge of the water at the ocean as the tidal water comes up onto the sand... I LOVED that look very much! For the foiling- might you have silver foiling? I think it might go better than the gold since they are 'cool' colours. I look forward to the second part soon! xx
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it my lovely! The first two were a complete disaster - I think I was trying to run before I could walk! But it was fun to be splashing on all the colours :) I do have silver I think - I’ll dig around and see ;) 🤗❤️
Turned out very beautiful! Well done💕
Thank you 🤗
Oh afterthought, have you considered putting ink on the edge & blowing in use 3 inks max? Might work.
It’s certainly something to try - thank you ☺️
Hi, I’m a newbie to your channel. I’ve always wanted to have a go with inks but decided I’ve got enough on the go so no more rabbit holes for me. However, can you please let me know where you got your ceramic coasters from, I don’t necessary need heart shapes but the company might have what I’m looking for. Many thanks.
The heart shaped coaster were from Baker Ross :). I can’t resist a rabbit hole hehe 🤗
Looks like fun, have some unglazed coasters I could try. Can I ask, would ordinary inks work, what is the difference between them and alcohol inks? thank you for sharing xx ❤❤
Hi Mandy - you would need glazed tiles for this to work and definitely alcohol inks which are dye and alcohol based. Ordinary inks are water based and will come off when you try to seal them xxx
@ Thank you xx
Very interesting! Loved watching you try different things - the effects are beautiful. Looking forward to part 2 ❤👍from Somerset
Thanks so much! 😊 ❤️
So much fun, loved the colours looking forward to seeing part 2. ❤️
Yay, thank you! ☺️
This was soooooo much fun…..The ELUSIVE Flower….Good for You!!…..”a sip for You……and a sip for me” ….” A Little Bit of Mambo”Cuban music had a bit of rumba and cha-cha music had me moving the body by the end of the video…
I’m glad you enjoyed it Sherry 🤗. I had a lot of fun playing around ☺️
Fun to watch. Thank you!! Don't think i will try it lol 😂 xx
Haha -I did have fun but I need to do more for sure :) xx
This was so much fun, felt like I was experimenting with you!! Loved the music and comments too 😄 The effects are really cool, can’t wait to see the foiling and glazing, think they’re going to look gorgeous! ❤️x
Yay! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it xx
The effect is so dam cool!
Thank you :) xx
heheh initially I thought you said "45 years ago!!" not 4 - 5 years, I thought you must have started them in kindergarten or something :D We are kindred spirits indeed Tori, - if you're going to jump down a rabbit hole, do it feet-first with complete abandon I say! Looking forward to seeing your colour-work adventures xo
Haha - that would be a world record WIP 🤗. Thanks Annie - I’ve already got a few ideas lined up ❤️
Beautiful! Love this project!
Thank you so much :)
I’m loving it thank you for some amazing prompts it’s fabulous ❤
You are so welcome!🤗
I am exactly the same I’m a arty butterfly 🦋
We never get bored though so we? :) ❤️
Lovely to be part of your FaceBook Group! I love seeing how you out your postcards together so a video would be great!
He is lovely thank you for sharing 💖💖💖🌹😊
Thank you for watching Mary ❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you!☺️
Watching this is like a swim in a feel good ocean. I am reminded of how lucky/ blessed I am for you to be a part of my life. I am so proud of each and every one of the artists behind the PC's.... and seeing them here just really is such a positive part of my day- and inspiring as well! I am looking forward to creating mine- although I think I might have to do two if I get the chance! Your puffin worked out well- I am glad you carried on and didn't just cut out a new one- this helps us all to see 'mistakes' can be made to be beautiful - or maybe even better than we first planned!! 💚💜
It’s so lovely having a group of people come together and create so much beauty. I am so grateful that everyone takes the time to make something for my prompts and I love sharing all your hard work. Xxx ❤️
Tori you are so helpful to us I am going to work on it today Sunday 9.45am it’s going to 39 degrees so I will be sewing today thank you so so much ❤❤
It’s so lovely to have you with me on the postcard journey - I can’t wait to see what you create :) ❤️❤️
Love to see everyones' postcards, 1st times posted in a f/b group . It's lovely to see your own work. Feb's birdies postcards are really good so far. Love your puffin. I love it when I get notifications of new posts.
Oh thank you! I’m so pleased you enjoyed it 🤗
Lovely reel with everyone’s postcards. Love your puffin Tori. Put my pic for Feb in the Facebook group but forgot I should have put it in the file🤪 Sorry💕
No worries my lovely - I love your piece and I’ll pop it in for you xx
@ thank you💕
Love him reversed or otherwise. I'd love a $1 for every applique I've cut on the reverse lol...he's gorgeous either way. and yes I'd love to see the full process of a postcard
Oh I know Lesley - I often get carried away and forget to do the reverse of what I want 🤗🫣❤️
What a load of creativity! SO many beautiful postcards! Thank you, Tori, for rounding them all up for us to see in a video.
I love gathering them all together and showing them off. You all do such wonderful pieces ❤️
Ooh, I have an idea! Maybe I will finally jump in the pool 😂. One postcard with a video sounds good to me
