I went to a local pharmacy (not a chain store) and asked about alcohol. He said he gets some in every two weeks but it goes fast. He agreed to put a bottle aside for me when I asked and call me when it comes in. You may find a local pharmacist that will do the same...

[@lizdouglas1952]

Just Gorgeous! Love your color choices. Sometimes I'll have to alternate from an airbrush, to blowing or what you have used. Lovely as gifts. The alcohol I purchase, because it is difficult is the MG Chemical Isopropyl alcohol electronic cleaner with attached straw that connects to the nozzle. It's 99.9%. I spray the alcohol into the small needle plastic bottles. I purchase through Amazon. The price is $16.97. 15.9 oz. It comes within a couple of days if that. I hope that helps even though this video is one month old. I've never designed anything on tile. I imagine it's a glossy surface? Well, I love your art. You've inspired me. 🥰👍🌷❤

Krylon kamar varnish and uv protection then resin

[@beckyeberts7791]

Thank you for this helpful video. If you use it for a trivet will it scratch off? Does it need to be sealed?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. If I were to use it as a trivet, I would seal it with varnish, uv protection and then resin. Check the heat resistance of the resin you decide to use.

[@bkrindy9856]

Gorgeous! Thank you again - I love watching you and you keep me trying. I am having issues with markers on tile (regardless it seems, of brand). The marker seems to interfere with the alcohol flow...? Instead of the alcohol flowing nicely as with ink, the alcohol 'gets stuck' and makes little jags in the line of ink. Humidity doesn't seem to be a factor. I use 99% alcohol. I've always used 99%. (FYI - I paid $40 for a gallon on Amazon - I know thats pricey but for me, worth it). So not sure what I am doing wrong but will try again. Oh! someone on youtube suggested moonshine (Everclear) for us alcohol inkers. Haven't tried that but at 190 proof thats 95% alcohol! A thought...Cannot buy it in every state though so might not work for everyone.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you BK. I'm not sure whats going on with your markers. These cheap markers I use work great on tile for me, but not so great on photo paper. The darker colors leave stains on the paper. Are you letting the alcohol sit for a few seconds to soften the ink before blowing it out? (just taking a guess at what the issue may be.) I may have to give the Everclear a try if I can find it in my area or shell out the $40 for the gallon because I'm running SOOOO low.

[@sarazimmerman2830]

How do you seal your tile?

[@nanasue4481]

Hello Jeanette, I know already that air moisture can effect how the inks flow, I would like to ask if heat / warmth can also make a difference? Thanks so much. Take care 🙏🤗

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Hi Nana. I find that it does make a difference. Where I live, I find that when its warm, its usually humid...they go hand in hand for the most part. The inks are so sensitive to either of those conditions. When it's really humid or warm, I usually use my dry palette to paint with the inks rather than my airbrush which only seems to compound the situation by pulling and spraying the moisture from the air it collects.

[@nanasue4481]

[@barbarafusia5090]

Janette I have watched so many of your videos and you are amazing. I am into AI for several months and so many tiles, papers and ink used in trying to achieve something recognizable!!! So today I pulled you up again and decided to try the ink markers on tile. I pulled this video and did exactly as you did and then it came time to add ink and blow. You air brush made the most beautiful petal as did the hand blower of which I tried both. I can't get a petal going. it always splits into three or more fingers. My frustration is over the top. HELP😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

What do you have your psi set at? It may be too high or you may not be using enough alcohol. When your petals start to split, you can blow on each side of your petal and blow it back together. Also, blow from behind you puddle of ink and alcohol and try using small spurts of air instead of continuous with the air brush. I hope this helps.

[@sheiladasalla2655]

Hello. This is beautiful. May I ask what type of ink/paint did you use for the center of the flower (black color) and the white snowcap part? Thank you.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Hi Sheila. Thank you. The names of the colors I used are pitch black and snow cap alcohol ink by Ranger.

[@MsVenuts]

I tried to buy the markers you suggested, but they were out. Bought some other ones, they say permanent. But the alcohol doesn't even melt the ink. I'm only using 94%, could that be why? Or, are the pens not supposed to be permanent? Thank you.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Hi Venus. 94% should work. I imagine it's the markers. Here is a link to an inexpensive set - amzn.to/3jWz4RS. I've not used this brand, but if you take a look at the description, perhaps you will know better what to look for.

[@kanderson8120]

How do you seal you alcohol tile? Do you have to let it set for a while first?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I allow it to cure 24 hours and then spray 2 or 3 light coats of Kamar Varnish and then I spray 2 light coats of Kamar UV Protection. I wait at least an hour or more between coats. On occasion, I will use ArtResin as a finishing touch.

Hi Panna. If you're using and airbrush, try lowearing the psi. You can also use the air brush to push those spindles back in by running the airbrush along the side of the petal toward the center. You can try different distances from the paper as well.
