I love the way you stagger your petals on the flowers. They don't look fake when they are not done in a row all the way around. You're great.........I've learned so much from your tutorials. Thanks a millions for helping all of us wanting to increase our crafting abilities.
If I could swear right now to express how absolutely beautiful this is, I would but I can't, so I'm just going to say, wow wow wow you are unbelievable!
Thank you Liz. It truly does bring me great joy when the inks are on my side and the results are good. Even when they are against me, I still enjoy the process 😊
I love your video, first time watching, I have a air gun I have been wanting to try, might have to watch your video a few more times before I try. Awesome work.
Hi Jean. Thank you for watching. I'm glad you feel inspired. You can create some beautiful flowers with the airbrush...just takes a little practice. Be sure to tag me...I'd love to see what beauty you create.
I love your videos and how you explain completely as you go - very GOOD. One tiny little suggestion would be to make video when not running your washer/dryer. Not horrible, but it sounds like you are painting in a laundry. LOL.
Lol. At the time it was the only area I had to paint in. I now have a studio where there is silence...much better, but at the time, I worked with what I had.
@@VivoVintageDesigns wonderful..congrats on the new studio. You are the best of the best I have found on youtube for alcohol ink flowers on tile. Tks to you I am regenerating my desire to try it. Please excuse my criticism. Look fwd to more videos in your new space.
Thank you. You made this so easy to understand I have seen so many videos of ink flowers with the airbrush but for some reason they seem to make it look complex. By the way you have beautiful hands too. Thank again for your explanations
i enjoyed watching and learning. this flower turned out amazing . i just purchased this blower . i'm glad you found it great to use on tile. you've encouraged me to give it a go! i look forward to watching more of your videos. thank you.
That was a great video! Thanks for using the "bulby" thing too! The air gun is my next investment. Very informative. Thank you for sharing. How would you seal that?
Hi Lynn and thank you for watching. I seal it using 2-3 coats of karmar varnish and the 2-3 coats of the karmar UV protection. Once thats done, you can resin over it with your resin of choice if you would like to use it as a coaster.
Thank you! I wouldn't use or recommend using as straw. First because it's dangerous. Second because the moisture in your breath does not work well with alcohol ink. If an airbrush is not a option at this time, I would recommend the Ranger bulb hand Blower. Its inexpensive and works well.
Thank you for this video. Would it be possible to use this technique on the bottom of a round glass cutting board by creating the center first, then the petals, so the design will show through on the top of the glass as it does on your tile? I bought one that only has petals, which is pretty and looks like a hibiscus, but I need to make daisies, so there needs to be a center.
Wow! So Beautiful, really beautiful!! Is there some way to protect it so the ink won't get rubbed off or messed up? Are you able to use these for things like coasters or as a part of a backsplash without them getting ruined?
Thank you. Alcohol ink on any surface must be sealed. I use multiple light coats of kamar varnish and then the same with kamar uv protection. To use as a coaster, I would recommend sealing aa described above, the using resin.
This turned out so pretty. I am trying to learn how to do this and so far. I am not being very successful. Do you use a spray varnish on the tile to seal your art? TFS
@tatteredpaperandlace2905 thank you. When I do seal alcohol ink, I use kamar varnish and then kamar uv protection, but I only seal a painting if I sell it, gift it or frame it.
Your work on tiles is stunning! Can you use the tiles as coasters? Can a sealer be used, if so, which do you recommend? Once again, your work is stunning!!
Thank you Nancy. You have to seal the tile with kamar varnish and then kamar uv protection. You can later resin over it and use as a coaster. I use Art Resin.
Thank you 😁. All the products are linked in the description box below the video. Cluck on the arrow pointing down or on "show more" and the list will expand. I like using photo paper by kirkland or Amazon basics.
Hermosa obra. Felicitaciones. Quiero hacerle una pregunta. ¿Qué material es el que le coloca en el centro de la flor? me refiero al blanco que le aplica con el micro cepillo. Por otra parte quiero saber también, si hay algún barniz u otro material para proteger las obras hechas con tintas de alcohol. Mil gracias
I wish I could respond in Spanish, but then you wouldn't understand me since it's so bad 😆. The white I use for the center is an alcohol ink by Ranger called Snow Cap. To seal my paintings, I use 3 coats of kamar varnish and then 3 of the kamar uv protection. 😊
Thank you 😊. I don't recommend using a straw. It can be dangerous for your health and the moisture from your breath does not work well with alcohol inks.
thank you. These are the micro brushes I like bc they come in different sizes - MICRO BRUSHES *500 Pcs Micro Applicator Brush - amzn.to/3j0Muva. This is my airbrush - *Master Airbrush and compressor kit - amzn.to/2sMjGjq
Lovely, I like working on tiles too.....a good practice tool as well, just wipe off and try again! How do you finish off your tile creations...Kamar Varnish then Clear UV spray and do you then resin them? Enjoy watching your videos and have been following you for quite awhile now😊🌻
Are you happy with your airbrush and compressor kit? Also, I guess you need to buy the Airbrush Premium In-line Mini Air Filter and Water Trap? Are those easy to install? Thanks!
You could resin over them after sealing it with kamar varnish and then kamar uv protection. However, since I've not done this myself, I'm not sure how they would hold up, meaning fading, despite the uv protection.
I don't know how well they would hold up, but I would seal them with kamar varnish, uv protection and then resin. Again, I'm not sure. That's what I do to use them as coasters. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Hi Tina. I don't cover the back unless I resin. Then I would use blue tape to protect it from the resin dripping and if I were to use it as a coaster, I would use cork or silicone tabs.
Awesome!! I think I've watched 4 or 5 of your videos today!! Wow!! Was shocked when you wiped off that pretty pink flower!! The yellow flower turned out beautiful too!! Which resin do you prefer? I'd prefer one for tiles that won't be ruined by a hot coffee cup!! There is no resin listed in the group of products...
Very informative video! Is coating with protective spray enough to finish it? I have not tried resin, but I’m wondering if sealing it is enough to use as a coaster.
I have a question about tiles ... what can you back them with so they dont break? I did one today on a long tile and putting it down it slipped a very short distance and broke ...
Glue cork to the bankside or craft foam in a white or color that complements the colors you plan to use. IF you use white you can paint with Alcohol ink.
I dont ever recond using a straw. It's not safe. If you dont have an airbrush, use the ranger air Blower. It's about $10 and creates beautiful petals. You have to seal with karmar varnish first then UV protection before you can resin.
Hi Kathryn. I just posted a video about this yesterday (video #169) where I explain and show samples of sealing a painting on tile or paper. These tiles can be used as coasters or trivets, depending on how they are sealed. They can also be framed or you can place them on a small easel and used as home decor. Also, painting on tile is great for a beginner because you can easily wipe it completely clean and start again. Great for practice.

Absolutely stunning! I’ve been been binge watching your videos and learning so much 😊 I noticed you use Ranger Snowcap for your flower centers which I don’t have 😬 Would Piñata Blanco work the same? 🌹
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you've found my videos helpful. Snow cap is a mixative and has a thicker consistency. Blanco is much thinner. I find snow cap works much better.
Hi Cindy. I don't use one when recording. Also, I have great ventilation in my studio. 2 windows, a door and use 2 fans to push fumes out. I never work with AI for more than 30 minutes, perhaps once a week. If you don't have good ventilation and work with AI for long periods of time, multiple times a week, I do recommend you take precautions such as a respirator, gloves, etc.

Thank you for demonstrating how to achieve gorgeous results without an air compressor!
Glad it was helpful!
Your technique was one I could follow. Several attempts and I finally got something that looked like a flower. I used the Ranger bulb.
I'm so glad to hear you're having success. It does take lots of practice.

So beautiful! Thank you sharing the tutorial. Can I ask what you uses at the end - was it a white acrylic paint?
Thank you! It's alcohol ink - Snow Cap by Ranger. It's a mixative and a bit thicker in consistency than the other inks.

This is so beautiful would you need to seal the tile with an enamel/varnish? thank you for sharing
Would you coat the final piece with an acrylic spray or some sort of enamel or top coat to prevent from chipping off?
I use kamar varnish, then uc protection. I like to use resin aa a final step.
It's a great video thanks🌹 For protection what I use on this? Also on what kind of paper can I do it

I’ve just started to do tiles. I noticed your recommendations on sealing for coasters. What resin do you use? And is it difficult to use resin?
Using resin isn't difficult, just a bit messy if you're not careful and your measurements must be accurate so that it cures properly. I use Art Resin
Very very nice. So would I be able to use Art Resin over too without smearing?
Yes, but you must seal with kamar varnish first then UV protection then resin
So fun...what micro brush manufacturer do you prefer? And what brand of air compressor? Great tutorial.

Beautiful thank you for sharing , so what do you do to make it where it can be cleaned do you coat the tile with something?
Thank you. Since tile is not porous, you can simply wipe away using alcohol...its that simple😊
I love the little bit of green that was created along with the yellow and black - it's subtle and translucent feeling. Like a flower.
Thank you Tammy! Have a wonderful holiday.
Are you happy with your airbrush and compressor kit? Also, I guess you need to buy the Airbrush Premium In-line Mini Air Filter and Water Trap? Are those easy to install? Thanks!
I'm very happy with mine. I used the additional water trap as my studio is I'm my basement and it helps. It's very east to install.
@@VivoVintageDesigns Thank you for the information!
Loved this...can you do this in reverse...do a pen and ink drawing, seal it then add color in this way?
Thank you😊. That's a good question, but I've not tried it.
Is there a way to seal these for outside use on a table?
You could resin over them after sealing it with kamar varnish and then kamar uv protection. However, since I've not done this myself, I'm not sure how they would hold up, meaning fading, despite the uv protection.
If you wanted to use these tiles on kitchen wall how do you seal them?
I don't know how well they would hold up, but I would seal them with kamar varnish, uv protection and then resin. Again, I'm not sure. That's what I do to use them as coasters. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Carol McCollum cómo se fija.?
Very nice but I am wondering if you seal it with something ?😊
Thank you. Kamar varnish first, then kamar uv protection. 2-3 light coats of each.
do you use blending solution or straight rubbing alcohol to do the petals?
I use 99% isopropyl alcohol (or 91%)
Can we have painting on titles permanently do we have to use anything else after the flower gets dry.
It has to be sealed with kamar varnish and kamar UV protection.
Very informative video! Is coating with protective spray enough to finish it? I have not tried resin, but I’m wondering if sealing it is enough to use as a coaster.
Thank you. If I were planning on using it as coaster, I would resin it.
🤩 love this! How is it finished? Some kind of varnish spray? Sorry i am a newbie.
Thanks. I seal with 2-3 light coats if kamar varnish, then 2-3 light coats of kamar uv protection. Both are made by krylon.
Does it make a difference as to the kind of alcohol ink you use , some are very transparent others heavier
I've tried a few and stick to ranger and pinata.
I have a question about tiles ... what can you back them with so they dont break? I did one today on a long tile and putting it down it slipped a very short distance and broke ...
You can purchase frames for tile on Amazon or attach it to a piece of finished wood using E-6000 adhesive, which is what I do.
Glue cork to the bankside or craft foam in a white or color that complements the colors you plan to use. IF you use white you can paint with Alcohol ink.
Two more questions please.
1- could I use a straw and get the same effect?
2- do I have to put varnish before adding resin?
I dont ever recond using a straw. It's not safe. If you dont have an airbrush, use the ranger air Blower. It's about $10 and creates beautiful petals. You have to seal with karmar varnish first then UV protection before you can resin.
What do you have to do to use them as a backsplash or in a shower? By the way, love your work!
Thank you! I suppose you could seal the with resin, but I don't know how they would hold up over rime.
Is there a certain sealer that could be used when it’s dry to keep it from rubbing off.?
Yes, you can use Krylon Kamar Varnish and then Krylon UV protection to keep from fading. After these two sprays, you can also resin.
Do you put a finish over the end product to preserve it?
Yes. 2 or 3 coats of kamar varnish, then 2 or 3 coats of kamar uv protection.
Do you epoxy over the flower after it dried
Sometimes, I'll resin over tile or if I mounted a painting on cradle board
Absolutely Beautiful! What kind of ink would you recommend for beginners?
thank you! I like Ranger or Pinata. I find Pinata colors more vibrant and pigmented.
How do you set the flower on the tile so that it dose not fade.or wipe away?
2-3 coats of krylon kamar varnish, then 2-3 coats of krylon kamar UV protection.
What do you do to make it permanent at the end though?
Seal it with kamar varnish and uv protection. Then, you can resin if you wish
Beautiful! How do you protect it afterwards? Also, what could you use the tile for other than a tile job?
Hi Kathryn. I just posted a video about this yesterday (video #169) where I explain and show samples of sealing a painting on tile or paper. These tiles can be used as coasters or trivets, depending on how they are sealed. They can also be framed or you can place them on a small easel and used as home decor. Also, painting on tile is great for a beginner because you can easily wipe it completely clean and start again. Great for practice.
@@VivoVintageDesigns Thank you, I’ll watch that now! I should be getting my inks on Monday, so I’m so excited to start!

I love this! Are you using a heat gum for the drying?
Thanks. It's a blow dryer.
What varnish do you use a final sealer?

@@kithevronmahoney7092 you're welcome. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi, is the snow cap an alcohol ink or a paint or something special? I’m looking at your list in the description and don’t see it listed.
Hi Deb. Snow Cap is a mixative by Ranger. Its an alcohol ink, but cant be used in the same way. It doesnt flow like regular ink.
Does blending solution work the same as Rubbing alcohol or IPA???
Please reply
I only use 91-99% alcohol. I understand that blending solution works best with mixative, which I seldom use.
So you are doing this on a glossy finish tile?
Yes. Inexpensive white tile from home depot.
This is beautiful! Do you seal your tiles after?
Thanks😊. Yes, if I'm keeping it or selling it, I use 2-3 coats of kamar varnish and 2 of the kamar UV protection.
What is the brand of air compressor you use?
Hi Erika. It's listed in the description box below the video. You have to click on "show more" or the arrow pointing down and the list will expand. If you still can't find it, maybe this will help since I'm not at my computer, I can't copy and paste...ruclips.net/video/EyFnCRbBItA/видео.html. This video will show you how to find it.
Here's the link - Master Airbrush and compressor kit - amzn.to/2sMjGjq
What do you seal your project with?
2-3 coats of kamar varnish then 2-3 coats of kamar uv protection
Absolutely stunning! I’ve been been binge watching your videos and learning so much 😊 I noticed you use Ranger Snowcap for your flower centers which I don’t have 😬 Would Piñata Blanco work the same? 🌹
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you've found my videos helpful. Snow cap is a mixative and has a thicker consistency. Blanco is much thinner. I find snow cap works much better.
Vivo Vintage Designs Thanks Jeanette...ordered Snowcap and will give it a try 👍🏼
For the sake of understanding why is it necessary to dry the drops of ink?
It allows you to have more control when using the technique demonstrated in this video.
Are you using a respirator?
Hi Cindy. I don't use one when recording. Also, I have great ventilation in my studio. 2 windows, a door and use 2 fans to push fumes out. I never work with AI for more than 30 minutes, perhaps once a week. If you don't have good ventilation and work with AI for long periods of time, multiple times a week, I do recommend you take precautions such as a respirator, gloves, etc.
How do you seal your work?
I use kamar varnish and uv protection.
Do you have to treat the tile before using inks?
I just wipe it clean with a lint free cloth using alcohol. Thats all you need.
