Teal/aqua/gold/black alcohol ink swirl tumbler tutorial

- Most of my videos have been fire, blues, or brights swirls. I had an order for a teal swirl so I thought I would go ahead and record this one. Sometimes it’s nice to see different combos in action before making one. This is the same technique as past videos but this time I got a little more “hands on”. Colors used were piñata brand white, black, gold, and rainforest green. I also tossed on a few drops of Tim Holtz Mermaid. Epoxy used in this video is Envirotex lite.

So beautiful!! I can’t wait to try it! I’ve made a couple of others that were really simple so I am excited to try something more complicated!
I LOVE THIS TUMBLER!!!
Absolutely gorgeous. . In love with this tumbler 💜💜💜
Hi, when you do this technique on glass, what kind of base paint should I use ie the white. Does it need to be water based?
I like it with the big patches of gold even though it can take over the design. I have never seen you drop a color into the gold. Hum??? Thanks for sharing
🥰 you’re welcome!
I love your designs and I also use the aleeseeya method on my cups and she has helped me many times with design advice
Thank you!! I love that technique!
@@ThePurpleStitch your videos have helped me
I am needing to do a green with black cup... but I didn't know if I should to do the base color black or white... but I see that you used a white base and it worked out great... but I don't know if it's my phone or my eyes .... but this cup looks blue... not green or teal... lol🤷♀️
It’s one of those colors that doesn’t photograph well. 😁 I had a tough time getting pictures of it afterwards, too. Rainforest green is definitely teal and not the green I anticipated. 😆
Beautiful
Just to make sure I don’t do it wrong... you add the alcohol inks while the epoxy is still fresh, right?
Yep! And thick enough for it to move around but not so much that it drips off.
Beautiful!
Having a heavier white on the gold spots helps. I would love to have this mug
You should definitely make one! Inks are so easy, I love them!
Beautiful!❤️❤️❤️
i didnt see you using the White... did I missed it or didnt use it?
also whats the ratio of epoxy use vs the size of the tumbler?
At the 12 minute mark. I like to mix more than I think I’ll use. Typically I will mix 30 mL for a 30 ounce cup and apply as thick as necessary. There’s usually 5-10 mL remaining depending on how much movement I’m going for. If it’s cold, I tend to apply more since it’s harder to get good movement without a lot more heat.
Could you get the same effect using mica??
It should....but I haven’t tried it.
Are you using a hair dryer?
I used to use an embossing gun. I’ve switched to an actual heat gun for movement and torch for bubbles.
@@ThePurpleStitch Excellent! It sounded like a hairdryer. LOL So my heating gun will work fine. Thank YOU! Appreciate you!
Do you have an example of when you used the gold mixative?
I sure don’t 😕. I’ve only used silver mixative and it was a mess since I tried using it like an ink!
Do you sell these? Where do I go to purchase
I do sell tumblers, my page is on Facebook. Www.facebook.com/thepurplestitch ☺️
How much epoxy did you use?
I started with 30 mL but didn’t use it all. You need enough that there’s movement, but not so much that it’s falling off.
When you say 30 ml , how much A and how much B ?
Rosalinda Sanchez my epoxy is 1:1 ration, so 15 and 15. Some epoxy is a 2:1, so be sure to double check what you have for confirmation. 🙂
Could you do this on glass?
I have seen people do inks on glass, but I have never tried. I’ve only done a glitter wine glass.
Beautiful Beautiful, you mention a person name Alyssa do you have her UA-cam or Fb to view the image you spoke about in this video
I don’t have a video or channel for her, it was a video that I watched in a Facebook group. I’m not sure if there is a channel. I’m sorry! I did do a video doing it the way she did in her video. She does the white differently that I do. But she was the first person I saw take the arm off.
