ALCOHOL INK COASTER TILE with wispy background and pen & ink flower garden - BEGINNER TUTORIAL

You will learn how to create a coaster tile using alcohol inks with a wispy background and draw a flower garden using a pen. (note: I have found that other pens will wipe off or fade if used on a glazed tile. This one works great). Tim Holtz Ranger Alcohol ink Colors used are: egg plant, turquoise and pool.
PRODUCTS I USED:
Conair Hair dryer (for blowing background): amzn.to/31hUlL1
Needle Tip squeeze bottles: amzn.to/2GKRZLc
Ranger Alcohol Ink set: amzn.to/38dhbGo
Sakura MicroPerm Pen set: amzn.to/37ahsZ7
(The tile is a standard 4x4 glazed ceramic tile purchased from a building supply store)

Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing.

Aloha Melinda! I was able to do resin coasters because of you! You are an amazing artist and whenever I rewatch your videos you give me inspiration to create more designs.

[@MelindaHowardArt]

That’s great! Thank you for sharing! That made my day! 😊😍

[@AnnHeineck]

So cute! This type of art is out of my comfort zone, all the more reason I'm going to give it ago and have fun! 😁👍

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Yes!!! Being out of your comfort zone is scary...but, so very exciting when you create your first piece and realize how fun it is and then you're hooked!

[@debbiedennisart]

I love these, very cute.

[@karensueschumacher1121]

Liked seeing how you made these cute tiles, Melinda. I’m going to try this for a birthday card on yup for my Mom💜

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Thank you! That’s a great idea!

[@deborahbrown8004]

hi these are beautiful I've wanted to do this for a long time but I cant draw. Do you think I could use acrylic paint or alcohol ink to stamp them? thankyou in advance

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Hi! I'm not sure how acrylic would work on the surface. I would think it would peel off too easily. Let me know if you figured it out! Thanks!

What is the ratio of alcohol to ink when diluting?

[@artsbydebi]

The pens aren’t available. At least not in the link you posted. What other pen do you recommend??

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Oh no! I will check that link. They are Sakura Microperm pens. The only ones I find that work. (Just bought some more myself.) try this link: amzn.to/3dsjqtY

[@amandadorrier630]

Seeing these videos and others have gotten me into the world of alcohol inks. It’s a medium I have never tried. I am loving it. I made some tile ornaments. However the ink pen I used smears if you touch it prior to sealing. Does that also happen with the one you used?

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Awesome! I’m glad you are enjoying alcohol inks. I love them too! The pen I used in the video does not smear. It’s the only one that I found that doesn’t smear on non-porous surfaces.

👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰

[@timh7246]

You diluted the ink in alcohol. How many drops of ink did you put in the small bottle of alcohol ?? I see someone else asked the same question 3 months ago & you haven't responded yet. Help please ?

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Hi! Thanks for your question. I don’t measure the drops of ink. I just add by sight. (The thinness of the color I’m wanting, which may be different depending on each color).

[@ilenearena9166]

how do I find your link to supplies ??

[@MelindaHowardArt]

Hello, sorry for late reply…I find them on Amazon, (see links in the bio), Hobby Lobby and Michael’s, and for the tiles I go to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thank you for watching!
