Awesome Bree. Such a beautiful piece. Thanks for this tutorial. I use the handle of the scissors to burnish.

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Great idea! I sometimes get my mini plastic spatula as well. As long as people do it, they can use almost anything 😄

I love that I actually learn new things from you! Are you able to do the same thing to a canvas or does it have to be on a wood panel? I’m asking for my financial point of view as canvases are so much cheaper lol.❤️❤️❤️

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Ohhh girl i don't know this one- I've never resined canvas, sorry!

It is perfect and beautiful. Where do I get little cradle board from? When I ink a ceramic vase do they get coated with something? I can seem me spilling alcohol onto it a few months later. Thank you. Bet you are happy I was missing for a year.❤

@@karenstrong8887 i get mine from Riot or amazon mostly, Karen! Just nab them when they're on sale. You'll need to seal all ink work to keep it safe. I use krylon kamar varnish, and then krylon UV archival varnish on top of that xx

Beautiful painting! So soft! Do you wait until the resin is fully dry before removing the tape or is there a crucial moment during the drying process when you remove the tape?

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

I take the tape off after a day of curing. The resin is still fragile, so you have to be careful not to scratch or dent it, though!

[@jenhodges200]

Great info - thanks! I’ve heard that alcohol inks can fade. Does the resin alone provide protection from that or do you treat the piece with something else prior to applying resin?

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Yes, unfortunately alcohol inks are fugitive. In saying that, I follow the rule of displaying them out of direct sunlight, and have had no issues with fading so far. I always use a UV protective varnish after i seal my inks, to offer some protection and extra longevity ❤️
