Coloring crushed Glass for Glass Art. Using Alcohol Inks, Spray Paints and Bombay Inks. Pros & Cons

[@cindycoleman5196]

Thank you for your hard work doing all these experiments.

[@crazyglasslady]

You are so welcome . Hope you learned something!

[@NadineFoster]

Love this as I am starting glass.

[@crazyglasslady]

That’s so exciting! I hope this video helps you out.

[@releasingendorphins232]

Your crushed glass would be so pretty in your stained glass piece.

[@crazyglasslady]

Yes, thank you

[@debrajol3585]

Wow this is great information! The Bombay inks & alcohol inks can be used in an airbrush. I have the expensive ones now but I started with a Masters ($35ish set) airbrush that comes with a small compressor that works well (Amazon). I use it for just this sort of work & base painting tumblers. The atomizing isn’t as good as the higher quality ones but it’s great for quickly covering surfaces, similar to spray cans. It’s just like spray painting. A quick clean up of the airbrush & it’s ready for next time. Water for water based & alcohol for alcohol based to clean etc.. stuff a little paper towel in the reservoir & twist, spray with water/alcohol till it’s clear, repeat paper towel. Every few months I take it apart to clean the insides but it’s not a biggie. It looked a bit complicated until I sat down with a KZbin video 😂 a few times later it’s simple. Anyways it’s always a pleasure to see you 🌹🌹🌹 love when you upload your videos!! Have a lovely day ❤

[@crazyglasslady]

Thank you, so what you’re saying is I could actually take the Bombay inks and airbrush them onto glass and does it give a nice even pretty coat like you saw my purple flower does it look as nice as that I have a giant air compressor actually, my husband does

[@NadineFoster]

You are so funny. This was fantastic!!!

[@crazyglasslady]

Thank you!!!

[@teresaholland4790]

Thanks for sharing your experience 😅

[@crazyglasslady]

My pleasure 😊

[@Dmilanos]

You are so inspiring and generous to share this information with us. It helped me to choose the colors I wanted. I just bought the Dr. Ph Martins Bombay India inks at Joann’s 1 ounce for $3.00 each at 25% off plus $1.99 shipping. Thank you so much.

[@crazyglasslady]

You are so welcome! GREAT DEAL!

[@SILVERSTREAK925]

Oh, that red vase is a limited edition & you have #8 out of 50. You have the 8th one made so definitely a keeper!! Maybe make some beautiful glass flowers & butterflies on long stems to shoot coming out of that vase. 🦋🦋

[@crazyglasslady]

OK, I’ll try not to break it

Thank you so much!

[@PattyPuckettPouringArt]

Thanks for all the time you spend so we don't have to. I love seeing your videos and your garage sale finds. I go to garage sales and always thinking about what I can use for my art. I'm moving from a condo to a 3 bedroom house because I need a art studio. Now I'm using a Lanai outdoors in Kona. 🙂

[@crazyglasslady]

Oh that’s great. We always need more room for our stuff lol

[@Chris71151]

So much info Linda! I will watch again. Thank you!

[@crazyglasslady]

I know I hope i didn't make it too confusing. I think the main thing is if you are going to use alcohol ink seal it with an indoor outdoor sealer .

[@jewelarender2451]

Love, love, love the video!!! Once again, you never fail to help the ones of us just getting started and I am sure the others as well!! Thank you for sharing your art. I know this took hours and hours in preparation!!!

[@crazyglasslady]

Thank you so much!!

[@InHisGardenCreations]

Thank you for all your hard work! I use only crushed stained glass scrap so I have no problem with running.

[@crazyglasslady]

Yeah if you already have scrap stained glass, why not use it? I love the convenience of the Ashland decorative filler, and how it is reflective because the spray paint and the color do not cover it up the reflective qualities.

[@NancyDekarske-rc1nz]

That was alot of experiments! Lots of good info, appreciate you sharing. Now I need to get to work creating! Thank you!

[@crazyglasslady]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! 😊

[@bkaspar6097]

Again, great info and love how you take the time to experiment. Thanks

[@crazyglasslady]

Glad you enjoyed it like I said I really didn’t use the alcohol links anymore, but so many people are commenting on it that I thought it would be good to see what would happen

@@crazyglasslady do you crush your own glass or where do you but the clear? Since you taught me how to make my own colors. 😉😁

@@dianadunn550 So in this video the chunky clear glass that is on the boards is Fire glass I buy celestial fire glass here is the amazon link: 1/4 inch amzn.to/3XNY9RY The crushed glass I used in the video is from Michael's here is the link: www.michaels.com/product/clear-crushed-glass-by-ashland-10556540

[@dianescraftycreations]

Thank you for being so thorough with your experiment. It’s very helpful!! You get such great results with the Tamia spray paint. Love the India Ink too! Stunning colors! There is a difference with brands of alcohol inks in fading as noted by resin artists. Let’s Resin alcohol inks appears to fade less compared to a few other brands when tested. You can search to find additional results

[@crazyglasslady]

Yes, in the experiment I did the let’s resin was one of the ones that faded the least

Hi Linda. I just rewatched this and glad I did. I have the Dr. Ph Martin’s inks. I wanted to find another way to color the larger pieces as I can’t get the spray paint right now…thank you for experimenting with the ink and painting it on. Too bad it was so streaky. I’ll continue my search. Again…thank you for all of these experiments!

[@crazyglasslady]

You are so welcome. Are the spray paints not available in your area?

[@lauragray4929]

Don't break the red vase!!! Art glass is very collectable and expensive. I collect art glass. I create stained glass and mosaics. Hand blown glass can be worth $$$$$. Love your videos! ❤

[@crazyglasslady]

Lol I was thinking it might be expensive. Do you know I think I paid two dollars for that? I have another huge yellow vase. I think it’s handblown that I bought for a dollar at a garage sale and it’s real pretty. I was gonna break it up because it’s really hard to find yellow glass, but I’m afraid too because I think it may be valuable.

[@jewelarender2451]

It is probably worth something. I remember the yellow one, too. I thought it may be valuable as well. Good luck with them.

[@crazyglasslady]

😢

[@jayelleart]

Your videos are so amazing! So much informations. I use the bombay india inks to colour resin. It works amazing. I'll post it on your fb page. ❤

[@crazyglasslady]

Really now are they the ones that I was showing and if you ever use them for glass, I was wondering if you could use them for resin

[@jayelleart]

@@crazyglasslady yes, it’s the same one you were using. I have the ones with the droppers. Any Indian Ink will work in resin. As you said it’s not the water based one

[@crazyglasslady]

That’s great thank you

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Amazing amount of info! Thank you 🙏🏼. Plaid (the Mod Podge people) have just introduced their Murano glass paint line. I have no idea how this would work with resin, or the cost effectiveness, but I might (maybe 🤔) try it.

The vase looks to be a vintage Murano Art Glass Vase Red And White . The lower the # the more it is worth. Saw #38 of 50 go at a Portland Oregon auction house for $67.00.

Do you have any 8x10 pineapple videos?

[@crazyglasslady]

No, not yet, but I need to make one

[@lauriewilson4741]

Dr Martens inks are vivid

[@crazyglasslady]

YES!

[@jackieroberts6440]

Always seal Alcholol ink with a water based varnish.

[@crazyglasslady]

So if it’s water-based a liquid won’t affect it?

[@lauriewilson4741]

It’s the shellac in these inks that make them waterproof. So…what if you mixed just a little shellac in the Ranger brand, or whatever is bleeding, to see if that works? Inks aren’t cheap. If you already have them…worth a try 🤷‍♀️

[@crazyglasslady]

Not sure about that
