I really love this too! There were times during your creation when I was asking you to stop, but the end result is fabulous. After the addition of the guilding flakes, I understood why you kept the rather harsh lines, as they were the "glue" that adhered the guilding flakes. It's just beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! Great job! I've never seen a piece like this using holding flakes. I love that idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing more. I'm a new subscriber. 👍👍👍
Hi! I love playing with alcohol inks! This turned out fabulous lady! The colors were great and the patience you had with just manipulating and detailing certain sections is magnificent! The gold flakes were an amazing touch to the page.
Don´t know how many times I looked at this... soo beautiful and fun (or not) with the gilding flakes. Going to make a try with this method. Didn´t know I could use copic refills. Thank you for showing and sharing!
I don’t know I put videos on watch later because I never go back and today was that exception. Really it’s because I’m subscribed and searched gilding flakes, lol. Awesome video. This piece is worthy of framing. I love the wispy softness of it and the gilding flakes were just a perfect touch
I stopped saving videos to watch later a long time ago. I hate that I skip through so many but I know I will never go back to watch LOL! Thanks so much Carol. I appreciate it!!
I just had to watch this video again and that is something I practically never do unless I am trying to learn a technique that I’m making then or trying to get measurements or product details, but this video, I was watching your newer video on alcohol inks and saw you put this up again. Tiffany it’s looking like those alcohol ink artists we admire and I love the resin piece also in the other video and the new video. So if you’re watching this and haven’t watched the others, they are must sees❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tiffany...wow this is absolutely stunning. The gilding flakes just make it pop. Definitely checking out the hair dryer and the copic refills. I'm not a Copic type of crafter but I definitely want to use the refills in this format. Thanks for another inspirational video. I absolutely love this. These are definitely my colors. I seriously would pay for you to create one for me. I need to display your art in my craft room 😊 oh and I'm with you on the glitter..lol. Have a great day 🙂💜Abby
Thanks Abby!! I can not color with copics at all LOL. But I love using the inks for this. I feel like I may have promised you something purple. I don't remember what. I have a bad memory and I apologize. I am trying to be better lol. Let me know what it was so I can send it to you. Big hugs.
Thank you for another beautiful project Tiffany. Your colour combo was the perfect back drop for those gorgeous gold flakes and the outcome was stunning! Thanks for the tip on the hair dryer versus the heating gun, at first I thought your heat gun must have been broken lol!!! Have a great day😀
This is so stunning. I'm in the middle of decluttering my craft room of a lot of scrapbooking supplies. Now I'm thinking I'd love to try alcohol inks 😅😂
Just starting to watch your tutorials. Excellent. I work primarily with polymer clay and am trying to incorporate alcohol inks onto raw polymer clay. Looking forward to watching all your videos.
@@Tiffany.Solorio yes I make jewelry. There are a million things you can do with polymer clay. I have an Etsy shop Art Jewelry by Linda where you can view some of my jewelry. To get started, I guess I would direct you to some polymer clay videos on utube. It is really fun and I bet you would be really good.
BEAUTIFUL... I think the Gilding Flakes are better than gold foil for this effect. I want to do what you did... on a countertop... then put Resin over that with a little gold (fine) glitter in the resin....
@@Tiffany.Solorio I agree... I wanted the "Gold Flake" effect you did... but thought I had to do Foil... I'm so glad I found your video... You are a God-send... I'm refurbishing a 1972 (Vintage) Travel Trailer... (MY 25th "FLIP") the colors are White, True blue Turquoise, and I think the Table and Countertops would look beautiful with your technique... I'd add silver too... Wait till I hand paint the outside... putting eyeshadow (Iridescent white pearl) I got at the $ Store... The lady looked at me so funny, when I bought 15 of them... LOL... it is beautiful when I put it in Crystal Clear Polyurethane, and put that over the paint job... "WOW"...
Thank you. Maybe my lack of knowledge helps me explain things in a way that people with lots of experience with the medium can't. idk. lol. But thanks again!
I agree with you Tiffany-I love this piece too! I've been getting familiar with working with inks over the last year but haven't used it on Yupo paper. It seems from your work that , Yupo gives a very distinct effect that I want to try. I'm definitely subscribing to your channel now to follow your journey with this fascinating medium. TFS
Question: How do you keep the piece from flying off the table? I've got the exact same dryer and on lowest power, it's lifting the piece and blowing it off the table unless i keep my fingers planted on it or hold it way above.....do you have it attached to another something that I see around the edges? This is beautiful.
Hey Tiffany! Love to play with alcohol inks. Like a box of chocolates. You never really know what you are going to get. I also love to add foil to mine. Never have used the flakes. Might have to try that.
Tiffany, it's much easier and more convenient to use instead of those gold flakes, Ranger has small sheets of foil in gold and other colors and when the painting is almost dry, I mean the thicker lines are still dump you just press the foil on really well and the gold or any other will stick to it. Same effect but much less messy, don't have to deal with those flakes. Just an opinion. Your technique was very nice, had that wispy fading effect. That blow dryer blows pretty low on cool? I've been looking and most of them blow too hard even on cool. I know people who use a heatgun still and they like it because it doesn't blow hard, but I think it's hot and can't adjust the heat
absolutely love this. I like the idea of using a blow dryer on cool setting with low air, that would be perfect for me with arthritis and not much ability to use those puffers that a lot of ppl use. you were so brave using the flakes... is there a lot of difference in the end result between flakes and foil? thanks so much for teaching us all new things.
Tiffany, I love your videos-the way you show experiments that don't work out the way you expected, so we can learn along with your, and the work you put into editing your videos. I always thought there wasn't much you could do once the ink flowed where it wanted to. But watching you, I can see that the artist does have some control to come back in and alter certain areas of the painting. I've seen other alcohol ink artists use a turntable or Lazy Susan to make it easier to use the dryer from all sides. But I notice that you often tilt the Yupo to get the movement you want. Is there a way to combine the two?
What a beautiful piece of art ! I am so inspired to try this. I do not have Copic products, but I have Ranger alcohol inks. Will this work with them? Thank you for showing us this creative way to use alcohol inks.
Hi Tiffany, Wow! Excellent work, it it so gorgious. Please, tell me what brand is your hair dryer with cool setting. I love the idea to use "cool température". Yours colors are magnificent.
This piece is gorgeous. However, if you’re new to alcohol ink you need to use a respirator mask and should be using nitrile gloves so the alcohol isn’t seeping into your skin. The fumes are really toxic and aren’t safe to work with without the proper protection.
Some of the areas will stay pretty tacky. I add them to those areas. You can also use a fine line adhesive and add the flakes that way too. Thanks so much! I appreciate it.
Bruna L. Boianoski Thank you. At about 4 minutes you can hear all the colors but in the description box you will find all of the colors as well. I hope that helps. Thanks so much.
Hey Connie. I don't at all. I think because it is cool air. I would have a little trouble with my heat tool warping the Yupo paper. Thanks for watching!
So, so pretty! I know this is old, but I have a question. How long after you are finished with the piece can you use the gilding flakes? I tried this with foil and it didn't work. Thank you in advance.
The alcohol ink stays sticky for a little while but I recommend doing the gilding flakes right after. What foil have you used? You need one that doesn’t need heat.
