Dripping Alcohol Inks through Raw Epoxy Method Glitter

I've made variations of what was originally called the "cow print method" and I've wanted to try this variation for awhile now. The idea is to drops inks all along what's the bottom (or top, if you prefer) rim of a tumbler covered in raw (uncoated with resin) glitter that was applied using the "epoxy method". Then use clear 91% isopropyl alcohol to send the inks flowing further and further down the tumbler. It's a beautiful effect on its own, but when left to make its own way, the inks start looking very much like pieces of coral jutting up from a coral reef in the ocean. So that was the inspiration for how I decided to finish this tumbler. The mermaid gods laughed and laughed.

It seems to be a toss up between coral and galaxy. What do you think??

[@thiemecraft]

both, kinda like those images, back in the '90s i think, that blended space and sea themes.

[@billknapp3477]

Galaxy, I think if you keep adding the inks all the way down, galaxy for sure❤ 9:36

[@winonataylor9978]

The mermaid theme is absolutely my favorite and totally fits in with Mermay. I'd love to see another blood drip cup with vanpire decals. Or maybe iridescent drops with a unicorn decal.

[@bezdek3505]

I know everyone sees reefs, but I actually see seaweeds reaching for the sunlight. Either way, it's super neat.

[@kristajones815]

This was giving me aurora borealis vibes. So pretty!

[@jenniferjohnson2459]

Adding the alcohol totally made it, love how the colors dropped. I think reef was perfect but I can see galaxy if the cup was fully covered in those colors.

[@kathyyount482]

Definitely ocean vibes!! With this tech the possibilities are endless!!

[@phyllisgast8357]

Adding the alcohol really changed the whole look and I love it! 😊

[@milolaclover]

Beautiful and sooooo spot on with the coral reefs and that mermaid is gorgeous

[@Lsurah]

Galaxy is what comes to mind on the colored bit. The white is too non space colored lol. I think it's the sparkle and the sections of green/purple that give it the galaxy vibe for me

[@cathyrezba3132]

When you added the alcohol to make it drop my first thought was you were making a galaxy tumbler, but when it continued to drop I saw the reef right away. ❤

[@gothiccharms]

Wow, that really looked like a galaxy to me. SO AWESOME!!!

[@alexiscrazycrafter5558]

I love Resin. I bought a turner. Now your videos will be what I watch to learn to make tumblers. Love your channel

[@Luxinda]

Awesome! Thank you! And welcome 😊

[@melanieleach9957]

Oh my that is spectacular. When you started I thought no way! I would never like that but I do

[@helenradley4498]

Having just returned from the USA I have so missed your videos. I didnt want to watch anyone doing tumblers whilst there as I could not do anything but i’m back now and love this video. Oh and Hobby Lobby is my new favorite shop! Wow what a place and yes I did bring some stuff back. Xxxx

[@Luxinda]

Welcome back 😁

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

Galactic ocean vibes absolutely love it!

[@Luxinda]

Oh that’s a good combo idea!!

[@kellybrown7035]

Its gorgeous and I love the way the drips flowed so organically. I don't know why I have never thought of doing this but will have to try it now. Thanks so much as always for sharing your genius.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! Have fun with it 😊😊

[@tinawaller37]

I guess you could have used a sea turtle but I think with all of the blues and darkness, mermaid was the best choice. Came out gorgeous!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!😊😊🧜🏻‍♀️

[@Wickedkittin]

Gorgeous! And yet again, I'm thinking space. It's very galaxy/nebula again. Or, I'm just super excited to see Guardians of the Galaxy next weekend.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!!! Lol, probably some of both 😁😁

[@dowarnette]

That turned out so cool. When I see those color combos I always think of space.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!!

[@rachealward7777]

I think this method would make a beautiful galaxy background if you brought the color all the way down or with a little brighter green an aurora cup!

[@ccrum2451]

Love this tumbler ! Another awesome creation 😍Stunning !!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!😊😊

[@brendaelliott3406]

I was getting ocean vibes too, I was thinking some small colorful ocean fish.. love this, looks great!!❤

[@Luxinda]

Thanks very much!!🐟🐠🐳

[@helenm6543]

Very cool! Like the technique. I think I would do another that had some coral colors into the mix.

[@TyH-lo9yn]

The galaxy. Love the stars.

[@Mamas-Madhouse-Creations]

My first thought when you first started was galactic then I told my partner oceanic. It's beautiful Cindy. 😍 ❤

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!!😊😊

[@Mamas-Madhouse-Creations]

@@Luxinda you're welcome 😊

[@prptink]

That is soooo cool. Love the way it just did it’s thing. My mind went galaxy 😊however it’s stunning 😍 love it ❤stay blessed love 🥰

[@pattibleau622]

It’s beautiful!! Love the colors and sparkle!!!

[@jenniferdrayer5156]

Love this! It looked more space-y IMO

[@mrsravenrose2u]

I saw like the aurora lights they way they mixed and flowed together.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

I really like how the dripping turned out looking like coral. That was really cool. Looks beautiful!❤

[@ParkerE924]

Northern lightsish 😊. I’m so going to try this, ver cool look!

[@sherriejenkins6737]

That turned out really nice, think I'll try that😊

[@Becky_lou_smuling]

So beautiful I love this ❤ awesome work as always ❤

[@lilaflohr602]

That's Gorgeous Darling!! (I'm my best Rita Haywood voice!!) I personally ama mermaid and I love this cup!! Luv you!! ❤💛💚💙💜🌈🌠

[@Luxinda]

Why, thank you, Ms Haywood! 😁😁😁

[@kimberlywebb2257]

Beautiful!! Love the colors and your choice of decals!! I accidentally did this same design!! Futzing caused mine!! I was trying to do red, white, and blue drips on glitter and ended up with red, blue, and purple-ish runs way further than I wanted!!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! Yes, it can literally run away from you more quickly than expected!!

[@alenekyocum1983]

I love this ink technique, gorgeous ‼️‼️😻

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!

[@marystephens1540]

Pretty cool looking! Love this ❤❤❤

[@haileygould2023]

This is gorgeous, Love it!!!❤

[@rhodanorton6944]

LOVE IT!!

[@carlaschlesinger5434]

Love it!

[@janrobberson8613]

Looks another like fractal burning to me

[@Luxinda]

Yes! I hadn’t thought of that but it definitely does!!

[@jeanbond4200]

Immediately thought coral reef….before I knew what you were doing….

[@Luxinda]

🥳🥳

[@wtglb]

Beautiful!!

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!😊

[@rebeccamoerno8356]

It is beautiful ❤

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!😊😊

[@valerietrybula1584]

Love it

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!!

[@joycepugh5347]

Very cool - if it was brown - it remains me of someone putting alcohol on the wood & then Zap with electricity

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! Yes, someone else mentioned fractal wood burning, and it really does look like that (in blue).

[@aliciabartholomew5871]

We miss your videos and hearing your voice

[@lovely31bluprint]

This is cool 😎

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!😊😊

[@sabrinahopson9795]

I have a thing for turtles 🐢 I would have used that too

[@Luxinda]

Definitely!🐢
