Your channel has been my absolute inspiration. I do not have most of the tools you have, but I do my best. I am literally using an empty syrup bottle with a straw inserted in the top as a blower. It’s not nearly as refined but it will do for now. Where there’s a will, there’s a way lol. Yet another beautiful flower creation, thank you 😊
Necessity is the mother of invention. I think the syrup bottle and straw is brilliant! I can't tell you what it means to me for you to say that I have inspired you. Thank you so much for watching.
Wow! I’m just now starting into alcohol inks. I know, I’m slow at the game. No I’ve been watching a lot of videos from different people to learn how. You are the best! You get right to it don’t waste a lot of time and give out more information on how to really do your project! I subscribed thank you Dotti
Hi Dotti and welcome. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy my videos and find them helpful. Thanks for subscribing.
I started with ai years back and gave up because the ink wouldn't spread. Now I've found out I was using the wrong side of the paper!!!! I will be trying the right side now so a great big thankyou to you.
I have learned something after trying to make 10000001 petals: if I let the iso alc. set there a second, then tilt it in the direction I THINK it's going to go, which it sometimes goes there and sometimes a little left or right, then blow the leaf out when it's tilted, I can do MUCH better. Just my little trial and error moment....
I've done that on occasion too. You have to try different things to find what works beat for you...and that's how we learn all kinds of stuff. Good for you!
@@VivoVintageDesigns What I still have trouble with, especially on the 8x11 size paper, but on smaller too, is that it ends up fringy and fingers on the end instead of being able to close it into a V. I just feel like that’s nearly impossible given the mutable condition of ink
@@VivoVintageDesigns p.s. I can’t watch your videos when I’m sleepy or I wake up two hours later drooling on my computer. You have a hypnotizing voice. Or I have narcolepsy.

Hi. I’m very new to this and would love to try to master it. You make it look so easy! Still learning how to use the air blower at the correct angle. Watching you has helped. Looking forward to trying.
Hi Jeanette, thank you very much for showing absolutely clearly how to do this. Your voice is beautifully relaxing, and the video was the right length too. I'm really looking forward to seeing your other videos (I've just subscribed) but right now I'm off to try my own flower! Have a happy day :)
I followed exactly and it didn’t work. What do you do as prep, either to the inks, or to the photo paper beforehand? My inks just make dots on the paper with no flow. I use the glossy side of the Kirkland photo paper. Do you dilute the inks before using. Do you prep the paper?
You should be using the matte side of the photo paper, not the glossy side. Also be sure to use 91 - 99% isopropyl alcohol. Give that try and let me know how it goes.
If you use yupo paper you can get perfect peddles. I tried the Kirkland photo paper, I can’t tell you how much better yupo is. Wish it was the other way around because the dif in price is the problem,lol. I watch you all the time, I learned my flowers from you, so thank you, Josette
It sounds like too much power. You might want to try the lowest setting or holding the dryer farther away from the ink, if you are already using the lowest setting. Hope this helps. 😊
lovely exquisite work Jeanette, just a quick one. regarding the hair blower Conair, what kwatts is it please? i only ever see ones over 500kw. and wonder it they are too hot for yupo and alcohol inks.
Hi Nix. It's 500 watts and has a cool, low and high setting. It's linked in the description box below the video. Click on "show more " or the arrow pointing down and it will expand.
Jeannette you made this look so easy! I just recently started trying a little water color painting, acrylic painting, and sketching (and I'm 60). I couldn't draw a decent stick figure until I found some great online artists. When I saw this video I was SO inspired!! I'm okay at watercolor and sketching now; but this Alcohol ink art is just fascinating to me. I am so eager to get started. I'm going to start with blobs (don't know if that is the right word, lol) and work my way up to trying some of your beautiful art. My daughters and I have enjoyed making handmade cards for everyone since they were little (they are 24 and 21 now); so this will elevate our beautiful cards to another level!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talent with us. P.S. you mentioned a micro brush during your video (it was a little light green one). Is that an actual paint brush? It looked like a long plastic toothpick.

@@77clgreen hi cheryl. Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you're inspired! Alcohol ink is a lot of fun because you never know how they will behave. I'm sure you will enjoy it very much.😊
Hello mam. Hope all well with you. I have just about started practicing alchohol inks. I saw your video. Mesmerizing. Just wanted to ask you everytime you used alchohol to blow up the petal, it would not spread, how is that managed.
I can tell you are a crafter by your nails lol Beautiful work! Here's a tip for you, get yourself a lazy susan to turn your work. They have flat ones without a lip made of wood or the cheap ones in walmart made of plastic.
Lol...the sad part is that many years ago I was also a manicurist. The days of pretty nails is long gone. I have a great lazy Susan, but it takes up too much room on my desk, so I rarely use it.
@@VivoVintageDesigns HAHA OHHHH MY that is too funny. I paint so my nails look like yours sans the polish but I do have some nice charcoal imbedded under what little nails I have haha....I use my lazy susan because I don't want to touch my sculptures so it is a must but you do fine without it for sure! Nice speaking with you! You inspired me to go purchase some Alcohol ink supplies. I use them on my acrylic canvas works but I love flowers so I am looking forward to giving them a wack. Have a great day!
I love your video. I’ve had success with your process. Question: Any tips to keep the alcohol ink controlled when you pour on the paper? Mine wants to pour out too much even if I go very slow. It tends to spread too wide before I get it dried.
Thank you so much. That might depend on the brand of ink you are using. You can purchase needle nose applicator bottles and transfer the ink. They really help dispense the ink easier.
When using a tile instead of paper my ink seems to run quickly before I can get it dry. Is there a trick to getting it dry quicker so it giant run so much?
Try using less ink and alcohol. I find that the inks flow more so than on photo paper and being that the surface is so much smaller, using less product may help you.
I just got my inks today and realized that I need a small bottle with the needle-like dropper. What’s that called and where can I find one, please? Thank you! Your work is lovely!
Hi I love your channel, thank you for sharing! Could I use canvas to create these and also am I able to use a blow dryer w a diffuser instead of buying the revlon dryer? Thank you for your help, can’t wait to get started! 💜
Hi Lisa. You can use canvas as long as you seal it first. I like Kilz2, which is a water-based primer. You can use any hair dryer as long as it has a low setting, but I find most are too strong. You will have to use it at a good distance to simply dry the ink without blowing it around.
Hi, Jeanette, this is Dolores A-Gain, I purchased a Epoxy Resin dye kit of assorted colors from Amazon featured as Alcohol Ink. Having a hard time blowing into shapes I want and so googled to see if there is a difference between that an regular alcohol in. I've used on glass and bathroom tile having a high gloss finish, used a ranger blower, a straw, air can and hair blower on low. The epoxy resin separates and runs as soon as it hits the surface. Can you recommend a medium I can use because I really don't want to discard this package.
I've never used resin dye. I use Ranger and Pinata alcohol ink and love them both. I suppose you can use what you have with resin and make coasters or trays, (I've done both) but you'd have to purchase more supplied, in which case, you'd be better off just buying the brands of alcohol ink I just mentioned. Btw...when I made coasters with resin, I used the alcohol inks I have to add color to the resin.
@@VivoVintageDesigns YAY! now I have to go get some markers! LOL! I have made 8 tiles so far with going back multiple times watching one of your videos. I am absolutely loving them!!!
@@VivoVintageDesigns I am loving the pen technique! I have another question for you (since I am quite new to this). If I do these on Yupo paper, do they need to be sealed if they are being framed?
@@sandyandrews286 alcohol ink on any surface must be sealed with varnish and uv protection. It will fade rather quickly otherwise and can scratch off of the surface as well. Even if frames, you still need to seal is at described above.
I've not tried, but watercolor and alcohol inks work so differently. Maybe if you put down a watery puddle of watercolor, you can use the airbrush to blow it out. Now, once I'm better, I'm going to have to give it a try!
@@VivoVintageDesigns Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question. And another thank you for an important reminder that anyone can simply TRY new things and if it doesn't work out...no big deal!!
Such a lovely flower! I’d like to know what you’re doing your painting on? It looks like a piece of kitchen paper,but wouldn’t the ink go through & stain your table underneath?
Thank you. Yes it's a paper towel and the ink will go through it, but is really there just to absorb the excess ink. What you don't see is that I have contact paper adhered to the desk I'm working on so that the ink will not ruin the surface. I can easily wipe the ink off of the low tack contact paper. I learned that little trick the hard way
I’ve just read that you don’t use the shiny side of the photo paper! Is this right? It seems odd. I thought the shiny side would help the ink spread nicely. I’m confused. I haven’t started using inks yet, that’s why this video is so helpful. Would appreciate your advice please. Many thanks x
@marianreader817 the glossy side of photo paper is designed to absorb ink when a photo is printed on it. Therefore, if you use ai on the glossy side, the ink is absorbed and does not flow freely...it doesn't move. The matte side of photo paper is designed to not allow the ink printed on the front to bleed through. Therefore, the alcohol inks flow freely on the matte side. Hope this helps you understand.

You should be using the matte side of the photo paper, not the glossy side. Also be sure to use 91 - 99% isopropyl alcohol. Give that try and let me know how it goes.

Do you use the glossy side of the photo paper or the backside?
I use the back side of kirkland photo paper.
What side of the photo paper are you working on?
@@katezack6145 the matte side
Can this be done with watercolor? Ty!
I've not tried, but watercolor and alcohol inks work so differently. Maybe if you put down a watery puddle of watercolor, you can use the airbrush to blow it out. Now, once I'm better, I'm going to have to give it a try!
@@VivoVintageDesigns Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question. And another thank you for an important reminder that anyone can simply TRY new things and if it doesn't work out...no big deal!!
Such a lovely flower! I’d like to know what you’re doing your painting on? It looks like a piece of kitchen paper,but wouldn’t the ink go through & stain your table underneath?
Thank you. Yes it's a paper towel and the ink will go through it, but is really there just to absorb the excess ink. What you don't see is that I have contact paper adhered to the desk I'm working on so that the ink will not ruin the surface. I can easily wipe the ink off of the low tack contact paper. I learned that little trick the hard way
Here is a video to show you what I do - ruclips.net/video/3ATu8pxVq5o/видео.html
I’ve just read that you don’t use the shiny side of the photo paper! Is this right? It seems odd. I thought the shiny side would help the ink spread nicely. I’m confused. I haven’t started using inks yet, that’s why this video is so helpful. Would appreciate your advice please. Many thanks x
@marianreader817 the glossy side of photo paper is designed to absorb ink when a photo is printed on it. Therefore, if you use ai on the glossy side, the ink is absorbed and does not flow freely...it doesn't move. The matte side of photo paper is designed to not allow the ink printed on the front to bleed through. Therefore, the alcohol inks flow freely on the matte side. Hope this helps you understand.
Where did you buy the puffer bottle?
