= SEALING / VARNISHING =
To seal an alcohol ink piece I use a museum quality spray by Krylon: Kamar Varnish. Unlike most spray varnishes and acrylic sprays, it will not react with the alcohol inks. 🔹Here is a link: amzn.to/2jGh3KO
If done on something paper thin like Duralar, the piece can be framed under glass or acrylic without being sprayed. Avoid placing your alcohol ink work where it will be exposed to direct sunlight however. Some inks can fade in the sun.
A UV Protecting spray can help minimize fading.

Love your willingness to experiment right on camera. Your laughter is contagious! Thanks for such entertaining and informative videos!
As artists, no matter the level, we are often intimidate by A) Our own opinion of our work, B) Others opinion of our work C) Failing. what ever failure means.. Your laugh and sense or "art" adventure is a beautiful reminder that art and creation should be fun above all else! Thank you !
I love painting while watching these, makes me feel like I’m just messing around with a friend while painting
Awww... I love that! Thank you for that lovely thought Victoria! 😘💕 Happy painting 😃!!!
Love your Mad Scientist laugh. I'm so glad that I stumbled across your channel. Appreciate the time, money and effort it takes for projects like these. Thank you for your delightful sense of fun, and a lot of worthwhile information.
Oh thank you so much Patricia... I don’t think most people understand what it takes to make these videos (or I’d have more patrons 😄). I appreciate your kind encouragement and that you took time to do it!! 😊💕
Literally my new favourite channel! Myriam, you're FABULOUS, friend!
"Myriam, with a Y," you are a pure delight!!! I adore the mad scientist in you that doesn't write off unexpected results rather your mind goes into overdrive trying to find a way to encourage those results into something beautiful! You're a master at what you do and a real gem for sharing your passion, your inquisitive mind and the random experiments that go on in your "Lab". LOL Stay safe, stay sane, and stay lovely! :)
Oh my gosh... thank you so so much for this amazingly kind and thoughtful comment Joan! It is a joy to share the nuttiness that goes on in the “lab” and hearing that you have fun with it makes it all the more worthwhile. I am truly grateful. Happy inking to you, and happy holidays to you and yours!! 😊😘💕
Hysterical with the drying colors ..... changing
Sooooo COOL!!! I've made alcohol inks with alcohol and "empty" ink jet printer cartridges. There's still a lot of ink left and the colours are really vibrant! :-)
Hali Chambers, Labyrinth Gal. When u did ur inks did u just add alcohol and ink and how did they turn out cuz that is what I have been thinking of trying
I was wondering. Inkjet vs laser, I would imagine, as the latter requires heat to bond to paper...
Miriam, I love your art and adore your hearty laugh. Makes me smile every time!
I absolutely love your laugh. It’s so contagious.
This was the most enjoyable and interesting video I've seen. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my Gosh, your laughter is infectious so much so that i couldn't stop laughing. You bring so much joy to your work. Thank you for your experiment which i thoroughly enjoyed.
I LOVE your sense of humor!! I could listen to you all day. Thank you Myriam for everything you are teaching us.
The paint pouring world needs all the experiments that come out of your lab, er studio. :) You are so inspiring Myriam, I can't keep up with you, but I'm sure gonna keep trying!
I've been fascinated by your resin art. I only use powder pigments this make me happy
I love your laughter too! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! Awesome job!
Mariam, I try valiantly to not comment for every video, but I've gotta say that you are amazing. From the experiments to your story of working with fluid art, I continue to treasure you more and more. Basically, I just want to say THANK YOU.
Oh Pamela, that is the sweetest comment you could have left! Thank you for that… So so much! It was the loveliest thing to read before going to sleep! 🤗😘💕 And please, feel free to comment as often as you like! I am always happy to see your name in my comment feed.
@@MyriamsNature LOVE me some Myriam (with a "y")'s Nature!
Very interesting experiment! I'd love to see a video on coloring resin with those dyes. I'm sure they will work fantastic for that as a lot of commercially available resin colorants are dye based. Yes, my first alcohol inks were made from butchered Sharpie pens. They work fantastic but you need to use several pens if you want really vibrant deep colors. It's much easier and cheaper to buy the inks in an art supply store.
HI Myriam, It was funny watching the colors change, which by the way I think they came out really pretty. The circle one kind of reminds me of the rock painting. You most likely do have a lab in your studio. LOL. I would love to see more experiments on the making of your alcohol inks. So I hope you show us when you get the 99 percent alcohol and maybe on a small canvas board, as it might show up on the paper differencely. Thank you so much for all that you do, you are very entertaining and I always learn a lot from you
I loved watching you experimenting and really enjoyed the art process and pieces you created. But the best part is listening to your pure enjoyment! I found myself laughing with you and had a huge smile on my face throughout… still do. I’ll be binge watching. Xox
Thank you soooooo much, I'm going to use this for designing my boxes for my jewelry and bath crystal's. Thanks again
Great video and intriguing results. If you add the Claro Extender with the alcohol when you dissolve the dye (or use only claro extender), you will get the brilliant color upon drying. You need the resin to keep the dye dispersed after your alcohol is gone. Give it a try?
I would put those leftover granules in the cup in some translucent polymer clay. They might give it a stone effect.
Absolutely in love with you and your laugh! Thank’s for your videos!
Awww... thank you Laura!! 😊💕
I wonder if the denatured alcohol would have made a difference in the granules....or, how the color came out when blown by the hairdryer...
You silly girl, I just adore you.
Awwww.... thank you sooo much!! 😊💕
You are so fun watch because I could just feel your brain cells lining up to experiment with joy and abandon. Love these experiments because I learn a lot from what you do. Your like our fearless leader (sounding a bit like Darth Vader when you had your mask on) and you lead us down this merry little path to endless fun and creations. Keep going “oh fearless leader”, we shall follow!!!
Barb, you are such a delight! I am always happy when I see your name in my comments feed! Thank you for never failing to lift me up and to remind me why I love having this channel. I greatly appreciate you!! 😊💕
Fabulous comment... very funny. She is so much fun to watch and listen to that "darth vader" voice of hers. :)
Just loved it !
How interesting. I love the pieces you made with these alcohol inks and would love to see what you do with them. They turned out so beautiful! Thanks for showing us your experiments.
Love your energy and fun thank you
It's funny because when I look at the plain one, I say to myself...Yes, that's the one!!!! but when I look at the bubble I say the same thing jijiji. Sooooo, I love them both and I'm sticking to that :)))
Scotch Magic tape is the best for sealing off alcohol ink - on pretty much any surface. You get a beautifully crisp line - and it's worth the extra pennies imo. Saves you time and heartache over a lovely piece of work... Probs cheaper in long run than using clean-up, perhaps? 😘
I do love the trial and error video and helping us by trying it first!
You are awesome, Myriam. I learn so much from watching you "play."
The Mad Genius at work!!! Love your inquisitive mind!!! "What if...", you say, and I'm like YES!!! You, Myriam, are my favorite artsy person!!! Thanks for a great video!!! ❤💛💚💙💜💖
Thank you ever so much Crystal! You always make me smile! ❣️💙💚💛🧡❤️💜❣️
“In my lab”..... Art science? Count me in!
Yes. I have murdered a few markers. And I just love these dyes. Lots of ideas.
lol I like how you said if you had to use denatured alcohol you don't even wanna play. lol
Love these videos. I'm learning, AND laughing. Thank you, so much.
That was so much fun to watch and listen to. Thanks so much.
Awww, thank you Debbie!! 😊💕
Thanks for the comparison of bottle sizes,very useful.
It was my pleasure... Thank YOU ! 😊💕
Wow. This could be a game changer. Wonder what would happen if the powder is sprinkled on then sprayed with alcohol. Of course I need to find out! Ordering! Thank you Myriam.!
The thing to know about this is to use more dye than I used... then you’ll get richer, more consistent color. The huge advantage is that making your own inks lets you minimize odor! I hope you enjoy your new dyes Denise! 😊😘💕 Thank YOU!
Myriam's Nature I’ll let you know where this adventure leads me! Thanks again!
I have to confess I'm a serial killer of sharpies......and when I went thru my first pack I confess I got another......but Judge me not, I was a desperate woman for alcohol inks at the time, I'm wondering if those granular bits left in this dye is not for texture or if they release a substance that will "set" the dye..... maybe the only thing that will dissolve them IS the denature alcohol, in any case, I really enjoyed the joy you have when creating....thank you!
this watch was so fun to watch, loved hearing you laugh!! Kerry :D
😊💕
Perhaps it was the heat that changed the color. That's what I would suspect. Especially since they immediately changed when you heated them. I'm also a "mad scientist" and love to experiment. I've made alcohol inks with dye reinkers and alcohol.
I wonder if vodka would help keep the true pigment ?
And if it fails you can console yourself with the rest of the bottle
Given that it’s ethanol like denatured alcohol, who knows. 😁 It’s sure might be worth a try. 😉💕
You've potentially saved me a ton of money as I already have dye powders (Procion MX) that I used to make all sorts of interesting coloured fabric, and isopropyl alcohol. So maybe all I need to do is get some Claro extender and I'll have my own alcohol inks for glass 😊
Since most dyes are mixed with some kind of hot solution, I wonder if you mixed the granules with some heated up alcohol if they'd dissolve better.
I bought the 10ml bottles off your list, and found that some of the plastic caps didn't have holes in them, so they wouldn't cover the metal tips. People should check them carefully before adding any inks into the bottles so that they can exchange them if they need to.
So sorry to hear about the bad bottle lot Blaiz. I pray that was an exception.
I’d have to do some research on heating alcohol… Part of me (all of me?) feels a little afraid to do something like that (fumes?). 😁 I do enough dangerous stuff in this “lab”😂... I should limit what I put these sorry asthmatic lungs of mine through. 😉💕
Maybe the grains are from not heating the liquid to dissolve them first. If that is the case, the grains may dissolve over time if a little more alcohol was added and covered so not to evaporate. Just a thought. I was worried about your pretty nails when you used the clean-up solution but they didn't seem to mind. Enjoyed todays' great experiment from your lab!
I love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you!
That’s awesome to hear... thank you Margie! 😊💕
Loved your experiment!
I was thinking the same thing you thought before you showed it if you didn't blow it out and it was thicker would it be the darker color I love these colors are they skin safe does it say on them if they would be safe to use in my bath bombs I can think of lots of uses for those and the color to dye the bath bombs with this really pretty expensive looking for something more reasonable thanks for the demo
Very cool! I’m interested to see how they work in resin. And yes, I have murdered some permanent markers, but only the cheap, off brand. I also love my Sharpies too much. 🙂
God I love u Myriam!! Ur awesome! I woke up in pain (as usual) and grumpy. So I said to myself “ watch one of Myriam’s videos, she’ll make u laugh!!” And u did!!!😂🤣😂 Thank u so much for experimenting and creating such amazing things! My cousin Maryann Anderson and myself love all that u do in ur LAB/ studio! Lol! I was also wondering about India inks as well? Someone else mentioned this in ur comments? I have the hydrus or radiant inks, can’t remember which one? Lol! I also wanted to mention that I bought a set of 50 of those little bottles from AliExpress, they look exactly like urs, but I paid somewhere around $10-13 for them. I love this APP/ website. It’s kinda like WISH/Amazon kinda sorta! Thanks you again for inspiring so many of us and always putting a smile on our faces!! It’s so true...ur laugh is totally contagious!!!! Liz E Cape Cod Ma😊💗👍🏼🤣
Hi Elizabeth! I am so so sorry but pain is part of your mornings… That cannot be fun at all. I am simply delighted that my videos can help a tiny bit. Comments like that make this channel all the more worthwhile for me and encourage me to keep working hard. My hope and goal is to have this be what I do full-time.
I have combined India ink’s with alcohol when making fractals ( ua-cam.com/video/hZy4kGqoJq8/v-deo.html ) … But I’ve never used them as an alcohol ink. I honestly do not know how that would work… But if you have them I think it is definitely worth a try! 😄
Thank you for your kind, kind words… They truly added to my night! Please say hi and send a hug to MaryAnn for me as well! 😘💕🤗🤗
Myriam's Nature THANK YOU!!! My cousin and I love u! When I do get out to Michael’s or any other errands I do, if I run into people that are buying art supplies, I always tell them about u! U make art look so much fun! I’m so critical about my work, I drive myself crazy!! I wish u and Sharon could come to Cape Cod, (stay with me, if u’d like) and we could try to get a big art weekend! We could advertise, there’s tons of artistic people on the Cape, but I don’t here of many good craft weekend getaways?! I wish u’d think about it. OR... we could do something where it’s warm and tropical!! Lol!😊❤️🌴☀️
very beautiful
LOL. You crack me up Myriam. Keep playing with the products. I’d love to see what else you can do with the dye.
Thank you Sandy! 😁 I’m excited to play with them some more so it will be fun to share! 😊💕
I would try maybe not using the blow dryer. After making the alcohol. Then drop pure die. And let it dry on its own. I'm wondering if the heat is what's changing the color. Right?
I loved this video. You made my day x
Awwww, thank you Maxine!! I’m so glad! 😊💕
your laugh makes me want to be a better person
Oh my gosh... thank you Marta... What a lovely thing to say!! 😊😘💕
@@MyriamsNature
Would it stay blue if you let it air dry??
Enjoyed,
😊
Fascinating! I was so puzzled and intrigued about the color shift, I liked the colors you were getting but WHY were you getting them. Thanks for continuing to experiment to get to at least some of the answer....was also wondering if perhaps it was heat related? No, Your Honor, I have NEVER murdered a Sharpie in my life! But have tried to create some alcohol inks using dye ink re-inkers among other things. It's hard to get enough concentrated color. But I've got some powdered dye for dying fabric for rug hooking....hmmmmm....also have some Brusho powders.........hmmmmmm I see a play day coming up!
I honestly think the color shift was due to a low concentration of the dye but there’s more testing to be done for sure. It does sound like there’s a lot of fun experimenting about to happen in YOUR lab too!
Definitely let me know if you get some fun results.
I have never tried Brusho and I am definitely curious about that! I love the effects you can get with water so I imagine, since alcohol is a liquid, it should activate the Brushos too???
Try letting it dry naturally instead of drying it with the blow dryer , I find this changes the cemetery , and alcohol drys very quickly anyway .Just a helpful hint .
Mixing completely can be achieved with a small ultrasonic cleaner, just place a sealed container of your mix in there and it completely dissolves. Be careful not to use a cleaner with a heater as alcohol is flammable. Their cleaner is denatured alcohol that's why it's so strong. Another effect similar to the hair dryer but doesn't affect color saturation is using compressed air at different pressures, in the seventies airbrush world they were known as freak drops!! Have fun and be well!!!
Thank you so much for that Matthew! I really appreciate you taking time to teach me something! 😊💕 Love the term “freak drops” too 😄.
@@MyriamsNature Life is all about learning and sharing, if more people would see that we'd be a lot better off!!! And thank you for showing me some amazing artwork, you have a great eye for colors. Be well Myriam, I'm going to binge watch your channel now!!
Oh my gosh... I sooooo agree with you! What a wonderful world it could be indeed!
I hope you find more of the channel useful. Thank you again Matthew 😊 .
OMGOSH you crack me up!
Forgot to say how happy I was that you did another AI video....I was going through AI withdrawal!!
So was I 😄💕!!
Where do I find Miriam’s amazon list?
Bonjour, a quel endroit peut on se procurer vos petites bouteilles à Quebec ? C est tellement beau ce que vous faites. Bravo
Food colors?
Omg I'm dying with laughter when all the colors were changing lol yellow and purple made green wth lol
It was like a weird alternate universe 😁. Thanks for the comment Alex!
You can make your own blending solution as well. Just add a few drops of vegetable glycerine to 99% alcohol and you’re good to go. 🧚🏼♀️
Oh Judy, that is unfortunately not a true blending solution. That “formula“ has been around for years (since I first started working with inks) and it has led so many to believe that it is a good substitute.
If one’s goal is to thin their ink, just alcohol is probably better. The glycerine can actually prevent your inks from fully drying. That’s what glycerine does... it’s a humectant and lubricant. If you pour some out in a dish, it will just stay wet, never wanting to dry. 🙁 That is not what blending solution does or is supposed to do. Blending solution’s job is to thin your ink in color strength but not in binding ability or sheen. Glycerine has absolutely no binding ability... if anything it does the opposite.
If you pour just blending solution on a surface, it will dry ... slower than ink but it will dry. It will also stick to the surface, be shiny and not at all slippery or sticky. It contains a resin like substance which ensures that.
My guess is that someone looked at the ingredients of blending solution, saw the words polypropylene glycol and thought “oh, like glycerol (aka glycerine) so glycerine should work”. Unfortunately the actual ingredient is polypropylene glycol methyl ether... a totally different animal... not a humectant or lubricant but a solvent used for inks and paints as a carrier.
I’m sorry for the science lesson... I just don’t like to see people be misinformed. Especially not viewers of my channel 😄. I feel a responsibility to you all to make sure you have the best information possible. 😘💕
I hope that helps clarify a bit.
Myriam's Nature thanks for the chemistry lesson. I have just seen several other videos with the “formula” and expected it would work as advertised. I didn’t intend misleading anyone. 😁🧚🏼♀️
Oh I never thought you did... at all! I just wanted to not have YOU be misled. 😘💕😁
Oh my goodness! I'm not done watching your video yet...but, I have a q. I can't even begin to spell the other alcohol lol. But you said they add poisen to it so people don't drink it. Is that to say some drink isopropyl alcohol?!?! I can't even fathom that! Lol
Hi Valerie!
There are different types of alcohol among them isopropanol, methanol, and ethanol.
Ethanol is grain alcohol (think vodka and whiskey for example)… If it was sold without being treated (denatured) it would be a very cheap way of getting really strong alcohol that you theoretically could drink. At that strength, it would still be dangerous however, and oddly enough the government would be unhappy because it wouldn’t be taxed like the types of alcohol we drink.
For these reasons (not taxed and potentially dangerous) poison is added to prevent people using pure ethanol as an alcohol to drink. More often than not the poison smells horrible.
Methanol is very toxic and not drinkable (If I’m not mistaken it’s actually sometimes used as the poison to denature ethanol… Don’t quote me on that ... I am not 100% sure😁). Isopropanol (or isopropyl alcohol) is also not drinkable. In general alcohols of all types are solvents so can be used for thinning products, cleaning, etc. which is why I assumed that I could substitute isopropyl alcohol for the smellier denatured ethanol.
I hope that answered your question. 😊💕
@@MyriamsNature very much so answered! Thank you. I thought I was reading Wikipedia! You're amazing! I couldn't be more grateful for my friend turning me on to your channel. You never cease to amaze me! Wow! Now...on to them having to do all that to the alcohols...it makes me so sad for people! God bless them. God bless you for being so wonderful too. I could totally hear your voice and personality while reading your response! Lol. 😉 ❤
Ok that was a bit freaky. the colours were beautiful then you heated it and right before my eyes they changed to a muddy version of itself. Did not like it at first but you kept on going and i could see endless possibility's. Thinking about the granules i wonder of you left it over night they might dissolve. It would not matter to me now because you did it and i know what to expect. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
💗👍👀 2/11/22
I want to make my own metallic alcohol inks, they are like $6/oz!!!!
💓👍👀 3/6/22
never murdered a sharpie, but I have had a few $1 store markers commit suicide.😀
I wonder if the homemade ink drawings will fade with time. Hope not.
I am not 100% sure. Like alcohol inks I do know that these dyes are not lightfast. That being said, if displayed in an area that doesn’t get direct sunlight they should remain just fine. 😊
Half the bottle was empty when you opened it.
Hi Claire. I noticed that too but then saw the explanation on the jar. The dyes are sold by weight not volume. It seems that different dyes have different weights ... the levels were not all the same at all (e.g., little yellow, much more black). I’ll try to remember to mention that the next time I use these in a video.
I ended up loving that they sell it in a bigger jar because it makes it much less messy to scoop out what you need... you can easily tap off any extra in the safe little “bubble” of the jar until you have the right amount on your stick/spoon etc. 😊💕
Didn’t liked tbh
I made the inks with the dollar store felt pens. It was messy but fun. Maybe you could try the extender with the dyes to see what would happen, just a thought. Oh please keep trying different things. 👍👍
Your studio IS your lab!!!
I murdered several sharpies! LOL
May they rest in peace! 😁💕😜
Haha! They rest in spritz bottles. 😄
Thank you for this experiment! I love your candid fun personality!
Thank you very much Tracey! 😊💕
I wonder if the heat from your heat gun changed the properties of the die/alcohol mixture, thereby changing the color? This was a great experiment. Have you ever tried something similar with India Ink, or other liquid ink? Have you ever use India Ink? I've never tried it, so please don't think I'm recommending that you run out and buy some. BUT, if you happen to own some, I'd be interested to know what you think.
Laura Buehler thanks Laura, I was wondering the same thing. I have the hydrus or radiant inks? Cant remember off the top of my head? I haven’t used them yet?! I finally got out of a ongoing “funk” after 3 major neck surgeries in 4 years!! I started watching watercolor tutorials and decided to buy these inks, BUT in the meantime I found cardmaking tutorials too?! So for the last year all I’ve been doing is buying ( which is time consuming when ur looking for the best deals) organizing and watching tutorials! I’m so excited to start creating with all my new stuff!! But I don’t think my inks will work because they’re watercolor inks?! PS I have found some really cool things on AliExpress! Shipping can take anywhere from 2-5 weeks to receive ur orders, but shipping is usually free! Thanks for sharing!😊 Liz
Hi you two. I have India inks and have mixed them with alcohol on a few occasions in order to make fractals (here are the videos : ua-cam.com/video/hZy4kGqoJq8/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/u2SgW9n6fV4/v-deo.html ).
I’ll be honest, it never occurred to me to use the resulting mix as an alcohol ink. 😅🤔 It does sound like fun and absolutely worth trying! As for the other inks, my thought is that if they are too watery it might present a problem because alcohol inks do prefer as close to 100% alcohol as you can get. But, if you have some, it’s certainly worth trying a drop or two to see.
I will add India inks to my lab experiments! 😁💕
Elizabeth, I am so very sorry you have had search inordinate physical challenges. That many surgeries had to have been very difficult. I pray that you are much healthier and stronger and that there is a happier future in store for your now! 🤗😊💕
I'm wondering if the heat is possibly making the color change. I am assuming that heat is being used. I just came across your video looking for ways to dye and / or paint mosquito netting for a canopy over my granddaughters bed. As I was writing this comment, you discovered what the issue is. Lol, I guess I should watch the entire video before commenting. I've been watching and reading so much, and now I have too many ideas. I don't know where to start. 😂🎉
Oh I love your bubbly personality! God bless you.
Love your videos, love it your LAB...LOL...STUDIO....THANK YOU, FOR THE GIGGLE!!!
I am new to alcohol inks, but I have been dying fabric for a very long time. I have some basic dye that I am experimenting with to see if I can create my own alcohol inks. The results on glass and plexiglass are very vibrant. I am working on the ratio of dye to alcohol and then how much they can be diluted and still retain their color. If I am successful and I am allowed to join the face book group, I will post my results for viewing. Hope to be able to share the results with you soon.
OMG, I have a whole collection of fabric dye somewhere....in my studio..... somewhere...... hmmmmmm
Hello there it's seems to change colour after you blew it with the gun. So my question to you is, does the gun throw out cool or hot or warm air? If warm it maybe the reason it darken each colour. Got an idea for ya, in water colours you can use salt, for z special effects, so try to sprinkle salt and see what effect you get. I think it would be worth the try. Hmmmm Thanks fun to watch, very cool.......
I wouldn't dare murder any of my markers, they're my babies! Thanks for inviting us into your lab, Professor Myriam. I found this so interesting. When you did that blue dye, it was the weirdest thing I've seen lately. Your laugh is contagious and I don't mind. It's really fun to watch you. Can't wait until the next time to see what you have cooked up in the lab!
Thank you so very much Cynthia! When I’m editing, it embarrasses me a little bit how much I laugh in a video ... sometimes I feel the need to edit some of the laughs out because they just pop out of me without my even being aware of them. 😁
The blue dye was like a weird little magic trick to me… I will have fun continuing to experiment with that for sure.
Thanks again for your kindness!
Nooo! Don't edit out your laugh!
Love me some experimenting of this sort. I have murdered many sharpies and made lots of my own inks, which have somehow evaporated down on their own. This doesn't bother me, as they're just more concentrated. I do try to keep the containers water-tight. I'm thinking that if you strain your dyes through a bit of cheesecloth, you can eliminate the grains, if that's the look you're after. And now I'm wondering about the old Rit dyes...hmmmm....Thanks, Myriam!
I know just what you mean Pam! I always wish there were more hours in the day so that I could experiment and mix all sorts of fun concoctions!
Thank you so much for the cheesecloth idea… I will give that a try ( once I get some 😁).
The Rit dyes might be worth trying. Let me know if you do. 😊💕
No murder in my life. I thought this was interesting if you do more I love to see, I too like to experiment
Wowza, so many awesome nuggets of creativity here!!
I feel a little out of place asking my question, but I did notice your nails are beautifully manicured (super cute accent nail on the thumb, btw) so I'm hoping you won't be too put off by me asking:
what can you tell me about alcohol inks for nail art?
I know there are plenty of products marketed by nail companies, but I feel like they are unnecessarily high priced & that I should be able to find more reasonable options either as DIY or just via different/non-nail sources. Thoughts???
Thanks so much!!😄
Omg .. I'm like in love with you!! Haha 😂 .. that was the most fun I've had watching a craft/tutorial/experiment video possibly ever or at last so long that it seems like forever :) I was with you girl .. going "WTF" & "hahaha" & "oh .. oh.. oh, oh oh oook so you doing this now!?" 😂 Thanks for doing this experiment, I LOVED both your pieces. I really was SO surprised at how you "tackled" what was happening in the first one & then turned it into a beautiful piece👌 I'm hooked! Liked & sub'd ☮️ from OZ🙋☺️
Very, very interesting and so much fun to experiment just to SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!
I'm curious. Do the colors change so dramatically if you add just water. I know you lose your alcohol ink properties, but like I said, just curious.
HAHAHA.....I NEVER MURDERED A SHARPIE, I WOULD BE HEARING THE CRYING, TOO, THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME TUTORIAL.
i use regular kids markers cut em up and then pore some 80% of alcohol over it and it works..for more vibrant color use some little bit expensive markers..maybe ones from wish or something like that. Recently in my hand drop some to me unusual colors.. aquarelle colors in liquid state?? Yes, voter colors in a liquid state and they are very pigmented, so i thot to put some of theme in my homemade alcohol inks! With a little bit of luck, i can make some vibrant colors! But there is an issue about YUPO PAPER! Can anybody give me some alternative solution for this very expensive problem, I was thinking about foto paper i got a few pieces i will try, dos any glossy paper work or...?
