I have a long haired red Doxie. He is an old man now but still going strong!!

[@TheHoppyDoxie]

My red gave us 18 amazing years! And my Black and Tan (now black and gray lol) is 15+. They’re the absolute best!

Another incredible tutorial and so comprehensive. I don't feel like any steps were missed. Question about the Alcohol Inks - is there something similar that can be used that is a little more indoor friendly as you mention really well ventilated area?

Hello! I just found your channel….such great information! Thank you so much. I have been wondering about how to glue crushed glass that I colored with alcohol ink, to a painting that is top coated with BT. I have seen videos of people using mod podge to add the glass but I think it is known to yellow? So was curious if you know of any other way to adhere and seal? GG maybe??

[@kjoscrappinmama]

That is absolutely beautiful! I'm newer to CrystaLac, but am quickly building my supplies up! I've wanted to make a galaxy tumbler for my daughter and this tutorial was amazing and will be the perfect one to try!! Thank you so much!! :)

[@adijat7508]

This is a perfect tutorial! Thank you! I’m trying to do galaxy wood letters for my son’s room and I didn’t like how my attempt turned out, so I’m going to try this way!

Do u put the rubbing alcohol on the pad? I thought inks didn’t work with Crystalac products?
