Watched it twice so far. I definitely would like to see more of this type of content. And the gloss is where’s its at with this finish & love that you added diamond dust. Breathtaking, Rhonda. Nice job 💖

Yes!!!! Now my goal is to be 1/2 as good as you!! 😊😊

[@neilditto]

Never walk away. It’s always beautiful.

[@lizwarner8524]

Absolutely love it!! I haven’t played with the alcohol inks but love the way it has such open time to come back and play play play!

[@gcaxelson]

yes add more alcohol ink with the epoxy, love it. A spacey nebulas type of creation would be a neat experiment

[@faithnumberone]

Yes please! More alcohol inks! 🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@RK3Designs]

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[@kim99may]

Rhonda I would have stopped just after the burn but I’m glad you kept going! I love this.

It was so hard to stop! I could have gone on for longer but they made me quit 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely gorgeous. I need to practice adding veining like this…I want to be this good.

[@kathyhensley9234]

I've always wanted to do Sandstone. It's beautiful and would be a mat coat. Malachite is also something I love and that would be glossy. Love this technic. Thank you,

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!! I love the matte finish as well!! 😊

[@lisagreene1401]

Yes more!!!!! Beautiful!!!

[@rapunzeleh546]

great idea... i have two of those... apparently they weren't made very well, because even though they were stored out of the weather, they came through the winter with the finish all blistered. so THIS is a perfect 'play time' thing to do while there is still 3 feet of snow on the ground!

[@laurienoe1233]

Hi Rhonda - thanks for the wonderful video! I have really shifted to doing a lot more projects with the alcohol inks and I really love this medium! It's so gorgeous and each piece comes out so unique. I vote YES for more of these types of alcohol ink + epoxy videos from you. Congrats on your channel's growth - you really are racking up the subscribers. Also, yes - Erika and Clara are awesome artists and they both do great things with alcohol inks! Keep the Inspiration coming! Blessings to you.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you Laurie!!! I plan on doing some more cool things for sure. 😊

[@laurienoe1233]

@@RK3Designs Awesome! Can't wait! This one you did turned out so pretty. I love how the AI makes a watercolor like effect. I think I would lean towards a gloss finish. Now you've got me looking at TV tray tables! LoL!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!! I do have a little inner Ross in me 🤣🤣

[@lisajameson1077]

I definitely want to try this. The reason I stopped doing paint pouring was the waste factor. With the inks, there is a lot less waste, if any at all. This just might get me back into this art form again. I do love the look of gloss.

[@foxesfouracres629]

Gorgeous! I see so many ways to be creative using these techniques! I love the gloss!

Good morning ! I really like your painting. But I would like to know if we can apply this process on a canvas frame ? Merci !

I’m very impressed it didn’t burn the set resin xx

🤣🤣🤣. I was proud of myself actually!!!

[@ebirdbiz4952]

[@patriciasumic1517]

I love it the ideas keep popping for me with this cause I see things in the shapes very clearly like at one point I thought I saw a bird with wings in your piece looks like fun

[@RK3Designs]

I know. I can just play with this for hours. So much fun! Thanks for watching!

[@ssue4q]

Very pretty! A glossy finish for this. Since you're fairly new to alcohol inks you really oughta try Maribou Inks. And the rainbow Marabou is a holographic to use as the top coat with resin it's absolutely stunning! Sure definitely more projects like this

[@RK3Designs]

Awesome. I will most definitely try it!!!!

Awesome!!!! Have fun!!!

[@susanbrocksmith4255]

Just came across this- very cool! I’m guessing you leave the legs wood or do you paint those white? Also, with a flame that goes that high, I’m afraid my detectors will go off lol is it best to light it outside? Also what about fumes- shouldn’t you use a respirator when you light it on fire?

[@jasonadair3004]

Very cool. I like the fire. Lol Have to try this. It would be a toss up for me on matte or gloss. Would probably need to see in person.

[@RK3Designs]

I love the matte but I think I’m going to do this one in gloss. 😊😊. Thanks for watching!

[@denab72]

Absolutely love this 💕

Cool work!! Can't wait to give this a try, thanks for sharing!

[@jessicagibson109]

Hi Rhonda. So I just watched this video for like the 5th time. Thought I would practice on some tiles and it makes the coolest effect. Kinda of geode, reminds me a little of your geode counter top. I way over did it, I don’t know when to stop but I was so intrigued by the technique. I did a drop of alcohol then a drop of ink and burned it off. Wanted to send u pic but can’t attach in comments. Thank you for inspiration

[@Ivorybird09]

Now I have seen everything!

[@kellydraper504]

Beautiful! I have found a way to create more of my talent in this type of painting. You have a new fan for life....

where do you normally get your alcohol from?

[@glynesmewton7033]

So you don’t burn off the extra alcohol you put on smaller brushes?

[@RK3Designs]

I don’t burn it when I’m adding the detailing.

[@marie-franceblondeau4915]

Oh no I have to try this. I love love

[@lisahostetler746]

That was awesome! Would live to see more like this one! I would do a gloss finish!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!! I think there will be more in my future. 😊😊

[@carrinmoore]

Would it be feasible to do this on bathroom vanity and into the sink or would it run terribly

[@RK3Designs]

I wouldn’t do it on a countertop that’s installed in place unless you use the heat gun instead of a torch. And I do think the alcohol would run too much down the sink to use the fire method.

We used Art Coat by Stonecoat countertop because the finish had so much white. 😊

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

B4 and after fire (8:57) don't look any different. You could have skipped the c3h8o and flame entirely (and eliminated the fire risk). Not sure what the purpose was. ???

[@Rejoice1631]

I have a question for you, Rhonda, and need some advice, please. After all the pours, and curing, and such, how do you get rid of the "drips/drops" of epoxy from the bottom edges? The first epoxy pour that I did, I waited until it was completely cured, and the drips/drops are rock solid, and would take a belt sander, or equivalent tool to get rid of. Did I wait too long, and should have trimmed them off when they were still soft, and uncured? Or, is this just a step that hasn't been in any of the videos that I have viewed thus far? So, if you could help me, and others possibly, that haven't been into epoxy as long yet, that would be GREATLY Appreciated, miss. Thanks.!.!.!.!

[@khatzl]

Try sticking that green or blue painters tape on the underside of the project, right up to the edge, before you pour epoxy on top. Then when project is dry, you just peel off the tape and all those drip things just pull right off, cause they are stuck to the tape like crazy, but not to your actual project. Works great for me.

[@Rejoice1631]

Thanks for the tip. =)

[@kippertoo]

Another stellar art piece Rhonda...please do more! 😍

[@RK3Designs]
