= For this piece I used the following ALCOHOL INKS:
Piñata from Jacquard:
Señorita Magenta and Baja Blue
🔹 I really recommend this “Exciter Pack” (so appropriately named 😊) of nine gorgeous, rich Piñata inks ... including the colors I used : amzn.to/2G2tkAB
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2HzXn3c
** [Please note, this is my personal, unbiased opinion ... I will always only share things I love using and fully believe will make your heart sing too. ] **
Copic Sketch Markers : Pale Sepia (YR24)
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Marker CT1
91% Isopropyl Alcohol
= 🔹This was done on DURA-LAR by Grafix : amzn.to/2HbLYVZ
🔺For Canadians: amzn.to/2qw88eN
= STYLUSES come in many styles (from inexpensive wooden ones to slightly pricier ones with pretty handles). Most of the time sets under $5 - $10 will come directly from China and will take a couple weeks to arrive. You can pay 2 to 3 times more from vendors in the States ( they got theirs from China too) ... you’ll just get them much faster.
I have 3 possible sets of styluses listed in amazon.com/shop/MyriamsNature ... you may find a set you prefer from the related items area of one of these listings. In the end, they all work the same ... just pick the price, look, and quantity you prefer. 😊
= SEALING / VARNISHING =
To seal an alcohol ink piece I use a museum quality spray by Krylon: Kamar Varnish. Unlike most spray varnishes and acrylic sprays, it will not react with the alcohol inks. 🔹Here is a link: amzn.to/2jGh3KO
If done on something paper thin like Duralar, the piece can be framed under glass or acrylic without being sprayed. Avoid placing your alcohol ink work where it will be exposed to direct sunlight however. Some inks can fade quite a bit in the sun.
A UV Protecting spray can help minimize fading.
To see more products I use, love and recommend for fluid painting (and to possibly discover new products 😊) :
www.amazon.com... (Please note that vendors may change their prices without notice. Whenever possible I chose the vendors with the best prices but sometimes a price increases, so, if a price seems "wrong", please choose a vendor with a price your prefer.)
Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕

[@reakelly100]

You should now teach other artists how to do youtube videos properly. You're respecting my time and intelligence by sticking to the subject matter, and only providing me with information I need. THANK YOU!

[@jeanblakeley-cook6023]

you are the most tolerable teacher! everything about your presentation is so spot on and you don't blather on with life stories or preamble of what you are "about to do". Oh, and as an added bonus, you have incredibly useful information. thanks for taking the time to put this together. i wish your channel all the best!

[@ArtByJulieE]

I realize this video is 3yrs old but I just had to comment and say, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! These beginners tutorials are godsend! I've already learned so much helpful information in these first 2 videos than I could have imagined. I'm off to finish the entire Alcohol ink Playlist but I had to say Thank you and You are Wonderful!!!🥰💕

[@jackiekauth-wp4wc]

This was such an enjoyable video. Your voice is soothing and you do not elaborate a lot. I learned so much from watching this and I can’t wait to watch more of yours.

[@kathryncurry2662]

They’re both beautiful in their own way. I loved this video, you taught me so many techniques and tricks, like freezer paper. I also love how you’re NOT using a compressor like many of the others. I’m thinking most of us don’t have one, so it’s nice to see projects we can try too. Thank you 😊

[@rosycheek6709]

Gorgeous. I use the auto captions... I love how it says "applause" when you use the hair dryer 🤣👏👏👏👍🏻

[@stampinsueduffy]

I'm a stamper - this needs a mermaid! Love it. Really like both of them - for framing, I'd go with the bubbles. I would use the more simple one for the background on a card.

[@dianechurch756]

You are an excellent teacher, and I so appreciate how prepared you are. Nothing is so hard to watch is someone figuring out what to do on a long video. I especially appreciate how you explain every detail and how to repair your mistakes. I am so excited to try this new technique with my alcohol ink. Your voice is so soft and relaxing... in a good way... that I almost want to fall asleep.... I wish I had your calm nature. Thank you for sharing your gift! I look forward to watching more videos they are so enjoyable to watch. Thank You!!!

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you, thank YOU for this very kind and thoughtful comment Diane! It was a lovely way to end my night! 😊😘💕

[@jewelswilliams6532]

Yes, such a soothing voice and a good teacher! You go, Miriam! :) Congrats!

[@CatherineSummerfield]

sometimes I do not need to watch your tutorial but I put one on anyway while I am picking up email or something just so that I can hear your voice in the background as it is such a positive voice and it puts me in a positive mood. You are a blessing to the art world and to our world in general. God bless you.

[@MyriamsNature]

Oh my gosh... thank you Catherine... what an incredibly lovely comment! May the Lord bless you and yours this new year!! 😊😘💕

[@marshaglass2350]

Miriam! You are the tutorial Queen! Your clarity, sense of design, and your skill are beyond measure. I love both of these. This is the style that I have longed create myself...and now I know how. Thank you!

[@MyriamsNature]

What a nice thing to say ... thank you Marsha! I wish you much fun doing it now! 😊💕

[@sonileesmith2256]

Myriam's Nature love both of them...so hard to choose one. It would totally depend on what..why..where...you were displaying/using it!! Need to get back to alcohol inks for sure.

[@sadafmunir2683]

Hello. You are amazing! Great tutorial,step by step and thorough....you are a natural teacher.Love your voice n expression too 😊

[@anneh4940]

You are an amazing educator, Myriam! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are amazing.

[@jacquiserver-garcia9995]

It's my first time to see you and what you do with the inks is just beautiful and thanks for sharing

[@skyepetty4406]

Very helpful and beautiful work

[@rpb2976]

Myriam - you have done it again! Your art is gorgeous! Your excitement is contagious! You are just MAGICAL. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your amazing self with the world. And it's a tie - the flowy one is just soooo lovely and the dotty embelishments are just the happiest little bubbles...love them both! Do you ever teach workshops?

[@MyriamsNature]

Oh my gosh thank you sooooo much for this super fun, extra sweet comment! I have never taught workshops... but wow, it sounds like a fun idea!

[@rpb2976]

I'm pretty darn sure there are MANY of us out here who would absolutely jump at the chance to make nerdy, fun, beauty next to you! I'm just hoping that you get that "ooohh...I wonder what would happen if..." excitement about the workshop idea...it WOULD be REALLY fun! I'd totally sign up!! :)

[@sylviarowlands1883]

With bubbles. Very helpful video thank you. New to this. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@carolhoren662]

I love the Bubbley one best, but I like the fades as well on the other one! You are a great teacher and I love when you explain the thinking behind what you do and how you achieve it.

[@marianneiwanski6484]

I love both! I have been doing acrylic pour painting, but getting interested in alcohol inks. This is lovely. It’s always wonderful to watch & listen to your tutorials.

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you Marianne! Alcohol inks are wonderfully unlike any other medium in so many ways... I think you will enjoy them! 😊

[@soul.friendagape6788]

I love your clarity and enthusiasm. you're a joy to watch and listen to😃

[@mimiprays8288]

Glad you are back. I like the bubbles added. Do more alcohol inks, do more everything!! 😄

[@MyriamsNature]

That made me smile and giggle... thank you Mimi!! 😊💕 It is wonderful to be really back!

[@phdstudios1]

there we disagree I need more alcohol inks, Maybe she will come up with siething that pleases us both!

[@lorimoore7320]

I agree with Mimi regarding more alcohol inks (including anything you want to show) Love you teaching. it is so great and easy to understand this complicated written subject_

[@judichristopher4604]

I agree Mimi

[@janetsunshine8689]

I love both! I think the bubbles take it to an higher level. Great videos. Thank you so much.

[@dstrick12]

I love both! I just discovered you on KZbin and can’t wait to watch your other videos. I have made alcohol ink backgrounds for my cards. Ready to try on ceramic and larger pieces. I am also very intrigued by resin. I will see what videos you have on using resin. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve already learned several new things regarding alcohol inks. 😊

[@creativezdesigns9693]

Both are beautiful!😍 My favorite is the one with bubbles!! Beautiful artwork! Thank you so much! ❤❤

[@Aunty23Fifi]

You have me hook, line and sinker - LOL! So easy to listen to and understand, I love when the how and why are explained. Both pieces are beautiful but I think I love the one that is embellished more. I would love to know what you do with your finished pieces, like do you stamp, die cut or just frame them? Tip of my alcohol life was practicing on freezer paper - genius and I thank you ever so much for that! Also have to thank for a new paper choice also. Many thanks for all you share.

[@MyriamsNature]

I am so so happy that this was helpful!! Thank you for taking time to tell me and for being so sweet! I will be doing videos in the coming weeks showing ideas for finished pieces. 😊 I hope they’ll give you fun tips. 😊💕

[@orenesimmons5514]

Your question is not fair. Both paintings are beautiful 😻

[@meowmom5]

Always looking for help with my Alcohol Inks! Thank you for your amazing tutorial. I really can't choose which one I like better, they were both beautiful. Please keep making more AI videos, I always learn something new from you ❤️

[@MyriamsNature]

I’m so happy that this was useful ... thank you Christine!! I am more than happy to film more alcohol ink videos ... they are a joy to share! 😊💕

[@cheryl7476]

Oh Myriam, I sure miss you. I still come back to you for alcohol ink techniques.

[@shellywindsor5711]

Just starting out in alcohol inks and really trying my hand at any art at all. These are so beautiful and I’m so thankful I found your channel. I’m really excited to try these new found techniques! I just love listening to your peaceful patient explanations. Thank you❤

[@sueb1158]

Hi today is Oct 24, 2019 I just found this wonderful video. It’s so helpful, so different, so easy to follow. I just enjoyed watching it through then saved it so I could watch it again and take any notes I night need plus see what supplies I need to get. Can’t wait to try this, you are a great trainer, Thanks! Oh and I know I’m late but I like both styles with circles & without it depends on your mood & who your making your master piece for, plus the colors.

[@aidaferrarone4691]

Sue B open

[@franceswatts4001]

Oh my gosh, what a great tutorial! I am always wondering what to do with my alcohol inks. Love both pieces equally - such different looks with and without the embellishments.

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for that Frances! 😊💕

[@gr8eft]

Oh Myriam, I have missed you !! I am so happy to see you !! You posted not only a video, but the technique I am having so much trouble with. Gosh, having to choose between 2 Gorgeous Paintings. What a dilemma ! Okay, my heart enjoys the unembellished the most. I am happy to see any video you create on any technique or materials. Now that I am remembering, on a past video, you showed some of your jewelry. It was fast and I don't believe you mentioned them at all. I will try to find that one.

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you Jo... I am thrilled to be back. I kept thinking I was done with health and life stuff but it kept pulling me back... but NOW I’m pretty sure I’m really, really back! 😄 I’ve missed seeing your smiling avatar. 😊

[@gr8eft]

So welcome Myriam..I do understand. So, so glad you are back !! Love you bunches !!

[@kkacz7783]

Love your style and your exceptional teaching skills! Thank you sharing your techniques and tips!

[@bradwilson325]

I absolutely love your laugh and fun attitude! Your instructions are so easy to understand and your art is beautiful. I always look forward to seeing you.🤗

[@jonaeflure]

OMG!!! Congratulations on 20k subscribers! I just rewatched your first video. What a trip. Your the first person I've followed from the beginning. This technique you just did was wonderful. I like them both. A good piece of stationery paper mounted to the back would turn these into great gift cards. Also love the blow dryer tip. Thank goodness I didn't get rid of my spare. Can't wait to see your 50th video! I know it will be outstanding just like the past 49. And again congratulations. ♡ Janet

[@MyriamsNature]

Many many thanks for your amazing support Janet! The 20k blows my mind... I would never have believed it possible. I’m so happy that you got something out of this video. The stationery paper idea would work beautifully with this given the translucent nature of both the inks and the Duralar! Hmmm... I wonder if there’s a video idea there 😄😂? Thanks again for the kind words! I’ll be super happy to hear from you after #50. 😘💕

[@janetvargas9520]

Beautiful! I am taking a class tomorrow and this has me really excited. I like the one without all of the bubbles and I am wondering how it would look with glitter or some gold/silver embellishments....Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@fivetwelve3905]

Myriam with a 'Y', you are so generous to teach us the beautiful methods you know. I'm late to the alcohol ink game but oh my goodness, I did my first one last weekend and I am hooked. I'm going to hook my friends, my family, well anyone who will listen to me. I love you work. THANK YOU!

[@nyclatina1331]

So happy I just found your channel! Your are amazing!

[@majie9717]

Thank you Miryam. Your videos are clear, full of information, and well done. Thank you again

[@janetculling2903]

I like both pieces but I love the embellished piece and aspire to do more of that with my own work. Myriam with a 'Y'...I'm crazy about your tutorials and your art pieces! Thank you so much. I am forever learning from you. And I want you to know how much I adore your laugh and good humor. I laugh out loud right along with you. Your voice is soothing. Your instruction is point on. I would like to see more about sealing alcohol inks and how to paint landscapes and scenes. The Alcohol inks are so unlike any other medium I have used. Very tricky. Thank you again and again!

[@MyriamsNature]

Awww thank you Janet!! That so made me smile! I don’t know if you saw the video before this one but I briefly talked about sealing alcohol ink work, but I’ll be happy to make a video too. 😊

[@sherrywoods4630]

So beautiful! OOOOOH - I can use my Copics, too! That just greatly extended my range of colors!!! Can’t wait to try it. Both of your creations are beautiful. If I have to chose a favorite, I’d have to pick the embellished piece.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Gorgeous! I was wondering how you got this effect and it seems to be the hair dryer. Thanks for sharing!

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so so much Lindsay!! I have been a fan of yours for years and was tickled all shades of pink when I saw your name in my comment feed. I’ve been having even better, more controlled luck with hot air brushes (meant for curling hair... just without the brush attachment... they are lighter, smaller, and easier to maneuver. You’ll see me explain it and use it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3zSpH55rrmters (explained at 1:15 mark) ... and here are a couple if you’d like to check one out : ▪️HOT AIR CURLING BRUSH options: - Conair (the one I have): amzn.to/2Y7bG6p - Revlon ( a few $ more, has a “cool” setting which is helpful when using Yupo which is much more heat sensitive than Grafix Craft Plastic ) : amzn.to/2XN1btw Thank you for all that you share, your awesome personality and humor, and for being a HUGE inspiration for starting my channel!! 😊😘💕

[@thefrugalcrafter]

@@MyriamsNature aw, thank you!

[@LadyBug-co3iv]

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial!! I love like (differently than so many others) you don’t fast forward the video, so we can follow all the details!! Thanks again!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@junemcdonald4195]

Love the way you work, so helpful and informative. Got alcohol inks from my granddaughter for Christmas, you’re never to old to start something new. ❤️

[@tammyevans6662]

"What's the answer?" ALCOHOL 😂

[@MyriamsNature]

I know right… Every time I remember having said that I shake my head and go “oh my gosh” ... I should put a parental warning on this video! 😂😉

[@heatherblanchard5492]

It's perfect hahah 🍾 🥂

[@judyo.2558]

Myriam, I love both! I've been playing with alcohol inks since your first video using it. I even bought Cathy Taylor's book, Pigments of your Imagination. The 2nd edition. I would love to see you do a video using a warm color or two with gold metallic and the hair dryer. You inspire! Thanks for teaching us.

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so much Judy ... and I am happy to add your suggestion to my list! 😊💕

[@jayrandall9075]

I love both! You are so generous with what you share, and I'm happy to see another inspiring video ❤️

You are so utterly gifted and have such a special way of sharing that gift in detail. I love your accent and your sweet spirit; you're the best with AI that I've seen. Can't wait to do bubbles tomorrow as I'm new to this very addicting art. Keep those videos coming cuz I sure need the help being a newbie!

[@luzmarinagaleano3780]

Muy lindo nunca había visto igual felicidades

Love them both. One embelished the other not. Depends on what else you want to do with the outcomes. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dmfitzpatrick7694]

I loved this technique!!! And your teaching methods really help me understand the process. What a blessing you are. ❤️❤️

[@debranolan9281]

I'm new to this - I just love your voice - I could listen to you forever! And I've learnt more from you in 2 videos that all the tutorials I've watched so far! Thank you!!

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so much Debra! Welcome to the fun of alcohol inks. I hope you’ll enjoy the channel. 😊💕

[@barbarascott1233]

I like the embellished piece best but depending on its use the unembellished piece might work better. As background the undone. As a stand-alone art, the embellished .

[@carolfiorilli1565]

Miriam!!! Your 'With' art paper is absolutely gorgeous!! And, I think the bubbles add so much more dimension to it than the first paper, 'Without'! However, I do love the colors, and I could visualize that 'feel of fabric' you mentioned, along with the 'windswept moves' (which sounds much more magical than 'ink blown around with a hair blower) of some colors over others that do their part to highlight that 'wispy-look' that you first wanted to show us in this part of your tutorial!! I was so intrigued with your use of 'embellishments' when showing us how to make the 'bubbles', and I wonder if there are other 'embellishments' you might show us in future tutorials that we can learn about and also try? Are these embellishments (your 'bubbles') your own design? Or, is there a special site or store where we can go to find more embellishments like the 'bubbles'?! I have been trying to watch and learn more about Alcohol Inks by enjoying several of your tutorials on You-Tube, where I have also enjoyed your wonderful sense of humor, as well!! (A few of my art-loving friends had suggested I watch 'Myriam's Nature' tutorials here if I was ready to try out Alcohol Inks, because they already know how much I love designing and creating jewelry, and how much I wanted to incorporate the Alcohol Inks into my jewelry designs!! I must admit that I do love the sound of your voice, as I find it quite soothing, along with your relaxed, friendly, and talented style of teaching!! With the exception of needing to purchase more of the Yupo paper, I have collected many more inks and other necessary supplies where I feel more confident now after watching your tutorials where I would love to try some of your tricks and tips when making my own designs with Alcohol Inks! (Currently, with the month of March only a few days away from ending, and April, 2020 starting soon, because of the COVID-19, the 90% Alcohol is extremely hard to find, and I think they are saving it just for hospitals! So I will have to wait to purchase that very important supply to play with my Alcohol Inks!!) Thank you so very much for giving so generously of your time, your wonderful Tips and Tricks, and letting us see your talent as you develop your art right before our eyes!!! Thank you again!! And Bless you, Myriam for sharing your exciting designs with all of us!!

[@pattyaustin9460]

I so appreciate your calmness, humor, & patience as you demonstrate. I loved both, but I think the piece with embellishments really "spoke" a little louder to me. Thank you ❤️

[@Jani6690]

Great video. The effect of this process reminds me of silk painting. I've tried alcohol painting before and didn't feel I was successful. After watching your video (which you did an excellent job with) I'm ready to try again. Must go shopping first!

[@MyriamsNature]

That is just wonderful to hear! Thank you for your very kind words. Happy inking 😊💕 !!

[@shirley6996]

Both are lovely! I do like the one with the embellishments. Thank you.

"What's the answer? ... alcohol!" - for more than just art 😂 Seriously though, what a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. You're also very soothing to listen to! I'm excited to try these techniques, abd the freezer paper tip is amazing 🙌

[@sandravandyke1495]

:oive your viodeois. Woiuld like toi see some resion with alcoihoil.

[@karindungee4277]

Myriam, you are a great teacher, thank you so much. I have painted on silk and do watercolors, so I am intrigued with these inks and wonder if I can use my silk dyes on nonporous surfaces to get the same effect. Only problem now is that with the corona virus around, there is no 91% alcohol to be found and I have only 2 bottles left.

[@heathertaylor1846]

I agree with Jean... everything you say is to the point, no blather... thanku

[@Sharla1213]

So incredibly helpful, thank you!! I just got alcohol inks and had no idea you could thin them so much I'm going through them like crazy 😂

[@luvthisscrap]

Wow, what an excellent tutorial! I am so glad I found this video :) I like both pieces equally, but if I HAD to choose, I'd choose the extra bubble embellishments :) Thank you for sharing

[@raquelmitchell2993]

Myriam, I just found you as I am starting my journey with alcohol inks. You are just the cutest! I love your sense of humor and realness. Your tutorials are so easy to follow and understand. Thank you for sharing your gift! You make me chuckle and learn.

[@deannabates1575]

I’m just starting with alcohol inks and glad I stumbled across your channel. So informative. I like both for different reasons. The embellished one has a lot of energy and the other one is very calming.

[@dianelefever3608]

Beautiful!! I Ike with the bubbles❤

[@judyrubin7860]

OMG! Just what I was looking for in a tutorial! You are fabulous! thank you sooooooo much! I just discovered alcohol inks and am using them on the flowers I am making from aluminum cans. Wanted to know more and got it from you.

[@candaistopor1114]

Thank you for this video.

[@peperoch2]

Both are absolutely gorgeous! I like the “jewel” effect one because it’s different. You are extremely talented and your tutorial was excellent. I’m new to alcohol inks and this helps me out tremendously! I want my backgrounds to be wispy like yours so it doesn’t fight what I might add to the card. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations.

[@annzarro8331]

Very pretty thanks for sharing.

[@martygegner4063]

For me it is impossible to say which one I like better. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. They are both lovely and so different from each other. I definitely learned some new tips to try, thank you!

[@Kimmie978]

This is a great video! You gave so much cool info, as well as tips. Thank you for another gem! Oh my gosh, just had to edit my comment. That second piece with the embellishment is gorgeous!

[@created2bless322]

So pretty!!!!! I like both, the one with the embellishments adds an extra punch and brings a whimsical look to your masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@mariettlinger8965]

Thank you Myriam! Your tutorials are the best! These are exactly what I want to do for my card backgrounds. You’ve taught me so much about helping to control the ink. Thank you!

[@bolasandysanmiguel3746]

I love ❤️ them both very much....

[@sendaantigua6111]

i love both!!! but like with the bubbles most

[@karensellers8264]

I like them both. The brighter piece on the left is more intense, however the piece on the right is very ethereal and calming. It's a tie. They look beautiful grouped together as a set. Looking forward to trying this 😀

[@jeannecampagna5260]

I love both of them. Thank you so much for your expertise and so patiently describing each step. One of the best videos I have ever watched.

[@lindaharris2607]

Miriam, I just discovered your awesome videos last night and have watched three in a row--absolutely beautiful work and excellent teaching style. I have two questions: On the previous video you showed how to make fractals on a tile with "thinned white paint"--and at some point, I heard you mention Floetrol. Do you use Floetrol to thin regular acrylic ink for that practice? Or do you use water? In THIS video, you showed that the alcohol ink was diluted with alcohol, but is there a certain recipe for doing this? The final question: After you finish a painting, can you affix it to a journal or a wood background? What kind of glue would you use? Thank you so much! You may have already answered all these questions in other videos but I am so excited to get started!

[@MyriamsNature]

Hi Linda! First off, thank you for watching! 😊💕 I thin acrylic PAINT with Floetrol... to get it to the consistency of warm honey. I do that for acrylic pouring too. For fractals I do it just to the white paint in order to get my base for the fractals. You can use water to thin paint but I’m not a fan of doing it that way because water breaks down the binding ability of paint. For the alcohol thinning question, watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYach5mdoMareZI ... I explain it in detail there. You can affix a painting to whatever you like ... the glue will depend on the surface you used for your painting. Yupo, Duralar , photo paper, and the like can be glued down with gel medium or matte medium. If you aren’t a member of my Facebook group, consider joining so that you have a place to ask questions and not wait too long for answers. There are a ton of very experienced artists who happily share their knowledge 😊. I don’t often have time to answer lots of questions more than once ( that way I can get to more people) ... I really wish I did, but sadly the days are too short. 🙁 Here is a link for the group : facebook.com/groups/Myriams.Fluid.Art.Tribe I hope that all helps a bit. 😊💕

You're a great teacher, Myriam, and as a beginner I'm learning so much! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and sharing your insights!

I just want to say that I love and appreciate the fact that you also provide supply links for us Canadians as well. A lot of times when watching KZbin tutorials I struggle to find a lot of products where I can easily buy them locally, so thank you so much!

You are an amazing artist! Definitely my favorite teacher out there too! You work is just perfection and I thank you for sharing your incredible skills with us!

I like both but the embellishments make the picture "finished". Love it !

[@bkrindy9856]

This is an extremely well made tutorial/video. So easy to watch and listen to you! I can't decide if you are a better artist or better film-maker! lol! Thank you - very helpful and enjoyable to watch; looking forward to seeing more from you.

I LOVE the one with embellishments! I also love the way you explain things, the pace you go as you teach, the great money-saving tips (freezer paper, Dollar Store tape) and WHY you recommend those things. I'm just getting started with alcohol inks and your demos are my favorites so far! Keep up the great work!😄

Love both of them! The dotting is a new technique to me and I absolutely adore it. Great work!

[@SHELSBELLES19210]

Myriam, your sense of humour is contagious, I love, love, love watching your videos. Your tutorials are always a joy to watch, makes me eager to try it out. Bye the way, now way could I choose which image to choose, they are equally beautiful & mesmerising. Looking forward to watching you some more 🤩

This is absolutely the best, most helpful video I've seen on alcohol inks, and I've watched quite a few! Thanks so much for all the helpful tips.

I just am starting out and discovered you. (And Subscribed!) Thank you so much for your great tutorials. I have a question - do you need any type of 'finish' over the piece to protect it once you have a design you are happy with and want to hang? Will it remain sticky a bit? Or do you spray it with something to protect it? Sorry for such a basic question, but I am new. I will be watching more. Thank you!

Hi Sheila! Thank you for subscribing and for the kind words 😊💕 . Alcohol inks are best sealed to both protect them and help with maintaining their color long term. Since they are not happy when left exposed to uv light make sure to display them away from direct sunlight. Once fully dry, they shouldn’t be sticky at all. At that time you can seal them with Kamar varnish... this particular spray does not deactivate the inks as any other varnishes do. Once sealed with Kamar, you can then safely add any UV protecting spray you like, or UV protecting resin if you are so inclined. Here is a link for Kamar Varnish: amzn.to/2Evyv9N I hope that helps a bit. 😊💕 (PS Never apologize for asking questions... None of us was born knowing this stuff 😂💕.)

[@SheilaLandry]

@@MyriamsNature Thank you so much for this. I figured I would ask because alcohol can be tricky with finishes. I am located in Nova Scotia, Canada (a Chicago transplant) and I do believe that I may even have some of the Kamar varnish on the shelf in my stash. I have ordered up some of the Graphix paper and hope to play a little. Your tutorials are really helpful. I appreciate them a great deal. Plus - you seem like you are really having fun with what you are creating. I watched the one with the powdered Jacquard dyes and I laughed along with you when the colors changed. That is what it is all about, isn't it? Enjoying the process. I have some 'Dy-na-Flow' liquid dyes and love them. (As well as the Pinata ink and the Pearl-Ex powders.) I wonder how Dy-Na-Flow would act on that paper? Humm . . . In any case, thank you again. I am sure you will hear from me again.

Very cool, I wonder if you could get that to "cell" with silicone or dishwashing liquid. One of the most original artists on YT. I like the embellished

[@gwenanderson1914]

Beautiful... my choice is with the dots but they are both stunning. Thanks for sharing.

[@dianethomas01]

Who could pick a favorite? Thank you for your tutorials! I am learning so much. I hope to make this my art for Christmas gifts this year.

[@loriboren770]

So BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing!
