You have no idea what a service you did for those of us with any kind of breathing problems. Thanks so much for looking out for us. I am a life time Asthmatic. I use three different medicines to control of the Asthma. To say this information is invaluable, unselfish and considerate is an understatement! Thanks, CeeCee.

[@creationsceecee]

Linda, i would hate so much to hear that someone pushed the envelope with these products and put their health at risk. the health of my wonderful subscribers is very important to me. thank you for this comment, Linda, and have a beautiful and clean breathing day.

[@mirandamarais6149]

Wow, it's a rose, it's a lilly, it's a strelitzia, it's beautiful!!!!! Imagine it being a wall to wall art piece!

[@pinkllama16]

I just found out about alcohol ink today and this is blowing my mind with how beautiful it is

[@marilynrabinowitz8369]

This artwork is the most exquisite one I have seen using alcohol inks. I now know where I am making mistakes. I will use the pipette to achieve more control in future. Thank you for your generosity.

[@kimlivengood5916]

I just had to tell you. I have seen a lot of people doing things w/ those inks. I even gave them a little go my self. Never really enjoyed them much. But after watching you do this on that yupo paper. I can not wait to get some yupo paper and the other supplies your using & get bust. I am just loving what you are doing. So thank you so much for sharing your creativeness. You have inspired me to try something new. Hope you have a wonderful day.

[@anneroberts7312]

Appreciate your discussing the effects of working with alcohol inks and blender. Outside is best for me. I have been waiting for my bird of paradise to bloom for inspiration, which is what this beautiful piece made me think of. Thank you❤️

[@creationsceecee]

i'm glad you're taking the safe approach. how lucky you are to have bird of paradise flowers growing in your backyard. happy creativity!

[@lisaugalde2628]

Absolutely amazing! The added black linear ribbon compliments the alcohol inks very well! Thank you so much for sharing & creating inspiration❣

[@myartpixie]

I don't know if I would invest in all of the material needed for this personally, but boy is it fun to watch! It is so satisfying to see the colors move and blend! Thanks for sharing and telling us about the warnings too!

[@LorraineTapper]

Luckily I have not experienced what is described in the video. I only have a small area to work in and it has been fine for me.

[@lydiadevries8408]

I like what you are doing. I have just started as well.

[@claudiaalexander6448]

Thank you for the health concerns,And I really love this project! Just gorgeous!

[@Mollyjean2014]

No such thing as mistakes in art. It’s beautiful.

[@suewight7621]

I have just ordered some Alcohol Ink and didn't know how dangerous they could be. I am on oxygen and as much as I love the way the inks flow and move, I won't be using them. I guess my daughter will be getting a lovely surprise. Thank you for the warning and I love your work. :)

[@creationsceecee]

i'm sorry to hear that, Susan. however, if you can somehow work outside, then maybe you can enjoy them.

[@angelagutknecht3700]

So excited to see alcohol ink project. What a great idea with the blow dryer. My daughter in law and I actually just finished 3 alcohol ink projects on our vacation. She did have to take several air breaks during the process. The fumes did not seem to bother me. We did wear gloves. We were camping in a tent trailer so we had plenty of ventilation. I’ve been on the fence about the alcohol pen but I think I will purchase it now to get those fine details. It is such an uncontrollable medium which I found kinda of frustrating since I like to be in control.lol the pen will give me a little of that control back.❤️

[@creationsceecee]

the vapors affect some and not others. it affected me quite a bit. the pen is a great addition to your alcohol inks paraphernalia.

[@jeannebavers4428]

This is my all time favorite! I watch it over and over.

[@dotalinadavis7557]

Gorgeous! What an encouragement to try it for ourselves. Thanks also for the heads up with the air ventilation necessity. This project turned out beautiful with a medium that “likes its own way!”

[@zuekeeper]

Beautiful. Thank You for showing me HOW to use these various tools to achieve this excellent work of art. Very very good video!! 😊👏👏💖

[@mpetersen2586]

Beautiful! I just love watching your “process” and how beauty developers. Your personality is quite delightful and I enjoy watching all your videos! Thanks for sharing your talent and yourself!

[@JennyMoedKorpelaArt]

The colours are so vibrant! I have never tried yupo paper, maybe I have to one day... Very cool project, and I love the dark colour as a divider between the brighter reds and green.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much, Jenny! yupo paper is fantastic, even with watercolor paints. i will make a separate video with watercolors one day.

[@tinamarie227]

OK... well.... now you did it... I GOTTA GET MY YUPO AND INKS OUT NOW!! I've not been inspired like this EVER with this medium. You did SUCH a beautiful piece.

[@creationsceecee]

Awesome! let me know how your paintings turn out.

[@sjscreations2608]

CeeCee I noticed the face mask that you wore which is really not the best mask for serious issues! I just happen to have a very good mask that is an extra and it has just been sitting in my drawer feeling lonely. I’m not sure if your on Facebook but I’m happy to message you and send it to you. It just has a Velcro attachment so it is not a huge problem to mess your hair up and the like. Just tell me yeah or nay, it is no big deal to me, it is just gaining dust? It would be a pleasure after watching this stunning picture. Thanks, Sean

[@scrapstobeautybyzandra]

Love the colors in this one. It started to look like bird of paradise...lol

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Zandra!

[@franrogo4547]

Just lovely CeeCee! It made me think of exotic sea life...like anemones and jellies. Really a stunning piece. Now if only I can remember where I stored the remains of my yupo paper!

[@catieb450]

Thank You for the warning as my craft room is small also! Sounds like a great outside project.

[@kimkath61]

I love working with alcohol ink and your piece here is lovely

[@willowartstudio]

I like how you taped the edges to make a boarder.

[@sherryrollings1624]

I have asthma and always take care......I use a professional Resporator that I got in the paint department of Home Depot....works perfectly. love your work..

[@figtreetwig4613]

This is deadly to pet birds

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Very beautiful and love the cool blow dryer technique

[@butternut4]

I absolutely love your art work, but I would also like to thank you for your warning regarding the fumes. I have constant respiratory problems and only two weeks ago, I decided to use my alcohol inks and isopropyl alcohol. Unfortunately I had a severe reaction and still having problems today. I will have to get the appropriate mask before I attempt it again. Of course I should have been outside also. Thank you again for your warning.

[@stampinsueduffy]

Stunning! Have never tried them, but I love the look! I like the silver.

[@jonihorn6515]

CeeCee, That was fun! It’s BEAUTIFUL! Thank you!

[@bunny2180]

WOW !....so beautiful and inspired, you are definitely an Alcohol inks artist now, lol.

[@aprilsmommy1]

This is absolutely beautiful! The colors are amazing. Think I need to take out my AI. Thank you for sharing CeeCee :)

[@lindabrunelle5132]

One of my favorite ink videos!! Thank you.

[@lisahardamon7520]

Simply beautiful flower!! Great inspiration💗💗💗

[@giovannazanni8422]

Absolutely love this...I’m just starting using alcohol inks and using homemade inks until my alcohol inks arrive (live in Italy)...I completely understand the health issues using alcohol ink/alcohol as finding it hard with fumes from the 99 per cent alcohol, with precautions the weather here is too hot so tried for a while but will move and work somewhere else... Anyway LOVE this piece and found your video great!

[@caroledion448]

J'ai expérimenté un peu avec les encres à l'alcool, de mélanger les couleurs métalliques dans un petit contenant avec la solution de mélange pour les rendre un peu plus translucides et les autres couleurs aussi pour les verser sur le papier pour créer un effet encore plus vaporeux. C'est un médium fascinant mais en effet très désagréable pour ses vapeurs surtout sur de grande surface.... Superbe ta création !!

[@creationsceecee]

merci beaucoup, Carole. oui, j'ai maintenant plus de connaissance au sujet des "mixatives". dès que j'ai une chance de travailler avec ce médium à l'extérieur, je vais essayer. merci!

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Love your piece CeeCee it reminds me of one of those Paradise flowers. The mask you were using looks more like a medical mask for keeping germs out. I think you should buy an industrial respiratory mask from a hardware store which is more for chemicals and dust protection. Xx

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Lynn. yes, i realize that now. i'm not too savvy when it comes to medical/health stuff.

[@patriciagraham4771]

This is beautiful! You may like to try compressed air to also move the alcohol ink. Not as much control possible as with the hairdryer, but can give you quick little "splashes" and streaks of the ink.

[@sukumac9013]

I saw another video where someone used air in a can - bought at Home Depot. It have lovely little narrow blasts of air that made things really spread out - but with definition - like points on flower petals.

[@cynthiaemerick9517]

The piece turned out beautifully!

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Beautiful love these colors

[@rgrdesigns]

This is gorgeous! I see the unpredictable explosions of the Hawaiian volcano. There's also a spiritual quaity to this work. XO

[@creationsceecee]

thanks, Regina. although i ache for the people on the big island of hawaii.

[@melissaedwards7431]

Still loving your creations!

[@Shersan2]

First of all, very, very beautiful!! The first. Time I used these inks, my alcohol was in a bowl so I could suck up with my pipe tote, I know, dumb....and I felt about drunk by the time I got done which I hated cuz I don’t drink. I love the look of this art and have the stuff I need to do it but am a bit apprehensive now...but...your picture turned out so beautiful makes me want to play again!

[@littleredwagonstudio]

beautiful!! great warning and much appreciated...my asthma is induced by allergies but makes me aware just the same. xoxo stephie

[@kimlivengood5916]

Sooooo BEAUTIFUL, OMG LOVE IT.

[@lisedanis2201]

Omg, this piece is absolutely gorgeous! I also tried alcohol inks on small pieces (on watercolor paper) and found it interesting. Tfs

[@mountainwarrior2533]

It is BEAUTIFUL...!!!!

[@pamgravett3758]

Super beautiful, love it! Thank you.

[@jillytiffen6305]

Love the painting! Very pretty! 👌I have asthma too but wearing any kind of gas mask would make me feel worse! I keep the windows open and pray that it’s enough!🙏

[@carolmcbrideonline]

Love the markings, esp. the lines on this beautiful piece! so good.

[@alexareiche4973]

Thanks so much for telling!

[@glittergrandma]

Great video and instructions & ideas. Thanks!

[@RhondaTheWriter]

Have not tried this medium yet . But soo beautifully done

[@barbaramclean9076]

Beautiful painting!

[@marsbeads]

you are so creative!

[@LisaMyEclecticLife]

Beautiful work. I have never used a blow dryer, but will give it a try.TFS

[@creativeartwellbeing]

i totally love this!!! It looks like a beautiful flower... Amazing how you achieved this. I would love a picture like this on my wall, You would get lost in the abstract for hours... Love your work and this is wonderful! I will keep watching you everyday. :)))x

[@paulmoody4749]

beautiful piece of art .

[@janetmissenden4839]

Omgosh, this is sooo pretty

[@laurienye9044]

Beautiful work.

[@AnnOsborne]

This is so beautiful!!

[@CrazzyBitchYana]

Love love LOVE this so much!! 😍❤ Thank you so much for sharing! You inspired me to give alcohol inks art a try. Im an abstract artist myself. Keep doing more ok? Thanks again.. 😁👍

[@CobraDove1111]

Beautiful composition, it turned out very nice. But it looks like you're not using enough alcohol to get things moving that's probably causing you frustration

[@maryanngonnella4200]

CeeCee, the mixatives are meant to be mixed or used on top of the wet inks or alcohol or even the blending solution. It’s really quite beautiful. But so is your painting.

[@terrioleson6296]

Absolutely breathtaking. Love this.

[@creationsceecee]

it makes sense now. i might want to pre-mix some colors with the mixative and maybe a bit of alcohol . thanks and have wonderful day!

[@gailnoblehalporn3146]

I love this painting! It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing this process as well as the info on using A is. 🎨

[@ConnieHildebrand]

Gorgeous! Thanks!

[@kristinekerr3688]

Beautiful!! Your very talented

[@robinblevens6972]

love to watch your videos.

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Thanks for the warning...as a person with asthma this need info.

[@traceyb8771]

How very beautiful

[@purpleplump6650]

Wow wow wow !!!!!! 😊

[@dolorescardenas3853]

Hi, you would probably need to use a painter respiratory mask for chemical use. I tried alcohol inks once and within minutes had a splitting headache and I had to lay down for a bit because I really felt woozy, but I was not using any type of mask. Not a medium for me...but love the art you create with it.

[@creationsceecee]

yes, i realize now that the mask i was using was not proper. it might even have trapped the fumes even more. from now on, it's outside or not at all.

[@ellaconner9452]

Wow! This is beautiful!! Thanks for the warning.

[@bumpchild3667]

So beautiful ❤️

[@monalcreates]

Ohhh thanks for the warning CeeCee!! I think that is not for me then as I have to use an inhaler! It is cool to see others play with it though! :) Awesome colors!! And love the effect!! Another beautiful piece of art!! :)

[@creationsceecee]

yes, i don't recommend you use them, Mona. i know you can buy a mask that will block the vapors and i might invest in one one day but for now i'll be using them outside or not at all.

[@franceswilcock2889]

I love the painting. However, the mask you are using looks like a dust mask. OK for using with pastels perhaps, but it will not protect you from toxic vapours. You need a gas/vapour mask - costs more, but worth it. Please take care, we enjoy your work very much. 🙂

[@creationsceecee]

yes, i now know that i was using the wrong mask. it might even have done more damage than not as i felt it trapped the vapors around my mouth. i will investigate about the gas/vapor mask.

[@debramartin5694]

Thank you the health tips!

[@kurrajongfarmhouse228]

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Regarding the refillable pen with nib at both ends, where is the refilling hole? I have one and cant find where or how to open anything to refill with alcohol? (silly me hey) .

[@arlenemurphy804]

Amazing.

[@pnwgirl5268]

Thank you for the warning using alcohol inks. You are the first person to post the health risks that I have watched.

[@jennymartin9679]

Thanks for your advice. I'm taking a break from AIs at the moment because my Asthma really flared u:( I think I may stick to this medium in warmer months and do it outside. It makes me sad, because I really love creating with AIs.

[@creationsceecee]

yes, i think you're making the right choice for you. it is too bad indeed. wishing you warm days of playtime with your inks!

[@JaniLewisPaperCompulsions]

Have you tried using a straw to move the ink instead of a hairdryer? It might not cause as many problems with the fumes.

[@creationsceecee]

i did use a straw 3 years ago in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJDZqJKYns6UbqM but i used very little blending solution, if at all, and no isopropyl alcohol. at the time i was also filming right in front of a window. the use of a straw also implies that you have to be closer to your work and therefore closer to the vapors. all this to say that the best solution for me is to do it outside since i am using a lot harmful chemicals. even Ranger Ink has an 8 -page safety data sheet on the alcohol inks which i wasn't aware of at the time that i filmed my very last video this week.

[@noralyngorges2078]

CeeCee your art is gorgeous and inspiring. I’m very new to this art form and love the alcohol inks very much even though they can be a lil frustrating...lol...but I agree with you the lack of control we have with it is probably what draws us to it as well as the beauty it creates...it’s magical at times. My question, the paint pens you are using (the black) is it acrylic? I have acrylic paint pens in many colours but I ask because I have seen alcohol ink ones as well so now I’m wondering? Thank you so much for your experiments and explanations as well as all the safety awareness tips. Xx...Noralyn

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much for this comment, Noralyn! the pens i've used are not paint based. here's what i used: • black Microperm pen, size 01 (Sakura) bit.ly/2IS4pA9 or black Permawriter pen, size 01 (Yasutomo) bit.ly/2scFCRe • pocket brush pen (pentel) amzn.to/2TcqLoL i've seen people use acrylic paint based markers on their work so you might want to try on a swatch to see how they react to the alcohol inks. wishing you tons of fun with your projects and please use a gas mask if you are not working in a well ventilated area!

[@ronaprescott4007]

Sounds like you should be outside and have a mask. Thanks for the warning...1st time I've heard of that. Wonderful piece!!!

[@navyboymommygramma]

I really can't say anything that hasn't already been said so I'll just say "ditto" to what everyone else said. Maybe you should get yourself, one of those small portable air compressors so you can really put some oomph behind that black ink. ☻ hope you had a wonderful weekend

[@creationsceecee]

i like the compressor idea. genius! one day... maybe. and thank you for the "ditto" :-)

[@navyboymommygramma]

creationsceecee , I bet you could pick up a airbrush set pretty reasonably on E Bay. If you do look there don't forget to look in the beauty dept, the price tends to change from one category to the nxt for the very same product. Grrrrrr it sometimes Yay 🙄

[@marsbeads]

you need to use a respirator mask for fumes :)

[@lauraarmenis4203]

Agree. The mask u showed is not enough hense having to leave the room. Recommend a vap mask

[@EdnaWargon]

I wear a mask plus open every window possible so much so that the wind sometimes blows my yupo paper clean off the table!

[@cherylhogatejohns1247]

Absolutely beautiful! I've always loved alcohol ink paintings but you take it to a new level! BTW, where did you get your wood grain craft mat?

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Cheryl. it's not a craft mat, it's a roll of imitation wood paper.

[@KissMyCreative]

I absolutely LOVE love love love love this. So gorgeous CeeCee! P.S. Miss you! xo

[@creationsceecee]

me too! thanks, Sammie. xx

[@JudyShea]

So beautiful. The quality of this video is amazing. Is it your camera or your settings?

[@creationsceecee]

thank you. i use a video camcorder, panasonic HC-V770. it has to do with good lighting as well.

[@JudyShea]

Thank you, CeeCee. Have a wonderful holiday.

[@murielhampton4761]

This is so beautiful. Was the blending pen filled with blending solution or alcohol?

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Muriel. i used the blending solution in the fillable pen.

[@pamgravett3758]

This is an absolutely stunning piece of work, could watch you work all day, may I ask if you seal your AI paintings, because I found that the Sakura Micron pens move when sprayed with Kamar unless you are extremely careful and only spray very lightly, and even then you can’t be sure no damage will be done. A problem as AI needs to be sealed. Thanks.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Pam. i don't use Pigma Micron pens on my AI paintings. i usually use one of these: black Microperm pen, size 01 (Sakura) bit.ly/2IS4pA9 or black Permawriter pen, size 01 (Yasutomo) bit.ly/2scFCRe . i have sealed with Kamar and nothing shifted. hope that helps.

[@kathybrenneman1868]

Amazing. Just beautiful considering the limited control you have over alcohol inks which is part of their appeal. Just brilliant. Thanks for sharing Cece. Kathy B. (Fairylady0227) 💜

[@lindahelliar7021]

Thanks for sharing, can you tell me if you were to frame you piece do you need to spray some fixative, I had a go and would love to frame it. I need lots of practice.

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Linda. honestly, i haven't had the chance to look into sealing and framing. a topic i need to research in the near future. when i do, i'll make sure to communicate my findings.

[@cynthiaemerick9517]

Thank you so much for the info. This info should be on the packaging. What is the board you taped the Yupo to.

[@creationsceecee]

it's mentioned at the beginning of the video. it's just a piece of plexiglass
