[@DisorganizedCrafter]

All the alcohol ink videos were great 👍🏼 loved them

Very useful information! I loved the crackle, but you are the first person out of all the videos I've watched, to mention that alcohol inks fade over time. I had no idea! Thanks for saving my future artwork!

Beautiful techniques. I can't wait to try them out. TFS!

[@littlebeebs1]

Will this work on unsealed cement planters ? Thank you! This is awesome 😀

[@jayrobertson5512]

Very nice. Can you use a blow dryer to speed up drying time with the crackle effect?

[@betsinewbury4670]

Awesome ideas! I'm off to Walmart to find some ceramics :) A couple of questions though - after the pieces are sealed how can they be used? Are they safe to use as say cereal bowls? Should they be hand washed? Do they ever need to be resealed? Many thanks!

[@KellieChasse]

Creative gal - as usual! I just posted your new book to my student group!!

[@JaneMonteith]

Kellie Chasse Aww Thanks so much Kellie!! That’s so kind of you 🥰💕

[@maureencronin1075]

Well done!

[@jodijohns2572]

Well, guess I know what I’ll be doing this weekend 😀

[@JaneMonteith]

Jodi Johns 😝👍🏼

[@janetproctor6233]

Thank you for sharing 😊 I think inks are much more expensive in the UK - I'm counting pennies with every drop you use 😀

[@JaneMonteith]

Janet Proctor yes agreed they are fairly expensive. Yikes I go through so much 🙈

[@DiDianne01]

Amazing and thank you soo much

[@ReneeW59]

I love this! Thanks for sharing your technique with us, Jane!

[@marymangano1705]

Like many others, I am wondering how you seal the lip of the bowl/glass. i'm assuming that these are food safe but would like to know that for sre. thanks

[@Margot4454]

Amazing ! Really amazing effect

[@Amandahugginkizz]

You could leave a white gap between the pink and blue dipped cup

[@norinemueller4588]

This is the best video I’ve seen yet thank you When doing the strips on the cup could you use painters tape if you wanted them straight

[@sandraleamelendez9679]

Oh my gosh, I Love this idea. I just recently came across this art, so I'm hoping this isn't a stupid question. Question: I might have missed it, are these vases or drinking tumbles. Are you able to drink out of them with the sealers on? Can you drink out of an item after applying a resin?

[@joannecrombie9152]

Sandra Lea Melendez I wondered the same thing. Are they food safe.

[@joannecrombie9152]

Art Resin is food safe.

[@jennifermetivier5483]

No, this is not food safe

[@shannonsimmons4647]

Are these dishwasher safe after they have been sprayed? They are awesome!!

[@michellehunter-thehennalof8765]

Following!

[@jasminesuri6784]

Shannon Simmons I wanted to know the same

[@reshminair5502]

Wow :) it is so beautiful

[@Kimmie978]

These are beautiful! Can't wait to try this technique. Thank you so much for sharing this! :)

[@Cheryl64014]

You are extraordinarily creative, Jane! Thank you for sharing this technique with us! But I want to know more-more-more so I've just pre-ordered your book, and now eagerly await November 19th! Thank you, again.

[@JaneMonteith]

Cheryl64014 Aww Thank you so much 😘🙏🏼

[@Cheryl64014]

@@JaneMonteith :) My pleasure.

[@ponygecko]

Jane are these bowls useable for food after treating with the varnishes? And are they dishwasher safe? Thanks in advance.

[@terry_kathryn]

Kathryn Parmeter I’d love to know also hmmm, I think I might do a white tile & run it through my dishwasher for a while 😁😁😁

[@jennifermetivier5483]

No this is not food safe

[@shondawhitaker8728]

Can i make alcohol ink, or can I use a different paint or nail polish?? Those are beautiful!!

[@maryrjfitz]

Are these bowls dishwasher safe. They are so pretty!

[@dianekohl9179]

hi. i have a question like some, will these bowl be ok for use as salad and cereal bowls, meaning, is the sealing etc ok because it is on the outside only. food safe? i canot see use as a fruit bowl as they are too small... thank you!

[@karenboyan8563]

Jane, your video tutorials are just wonderful! Quick question-is there a trick to keeping the Kamar varnish from making the ink bleed when you spray it? It didn’t cause bleeding when I used it on inked glass, but it did on inked ceramics. Any advice is most welcome-thank you!

[@cherylhudson5080]

Fascinating you never cease to amaze, this technique looks great one question is it dishwasher safe after the Kamar has been finished. Keep up the good work and TFS

[@jeni_bean]

Hi Jane thank you for your video. How would you seal them using your sprays. I know you can put the bowl upside down but how to get the rim of the bowl without contaminating the inside?

[@7northgate7]

I'm hoping there will be a demo

[@moogie3111]

you could always just use good old masking tape around the edge of the bowl, turn it upside down, and then you'll be good to go. I love masking tape!

[@bethbahel145]

Fantastic

[@didee1000]

What a easy method and yet the results are spectacular! One question... do you spray the inside of the vessels as well? Or do you cover them somehow to prevent the spray from getting inside? Many thanks!

[@Sarasuati741]

So pretty! Is this suitable on glass?

[@NEIGHTZ_INDUSTRIES]

Hi. Can It be toped with Automotive paint?

[@doodysoso2975]

Thanks for sharing this, can someone eat it, and is it for alcoholic colors

[@karenkelleher989]

Okay, lovely work, I do like the techniques very much. I, too, spray the sealers on my alcohol ink works. BUT... on the things like glassware and bowls etc, I bake them in the oven and wait two weeks before use, and I do not spray them. Does the spray really truly last on the bowls with light hand washing? Do you know? I’m asking, probably knowing you won’t answer, since you have not replied to any of the other comments. Is that because you are selling them?

[@justineolausen1115]

Thank you Jane, was wondering if you had any ideas on what kind of product I could use to glaze over tissue paper that is stuck to wax?

[@jackieharrison925]

Is the sealant safe for wine glasses or would I have to have an area around the rim that does not have the alcohol ink and sealant?

[@Karri_in_the_PNW]

Awesome Techniques! Would the Alcohol Ink have sealed if you took a lighter to it?

[@lovepoet4u121]

Can you use mini wax polycrylic varnish to seal

[@lusciousleggings6829]

very nice

[@MohammedAli-sn5gd]

Beautiful... can we do such techniques with alcohol pens

[@janehyden1652]

why would anyone thumbs down this/? I DONT GET IT AT ALL---ARE U JEALOUS?

[@TiffanyMedifastMommaSoto]

Hi! This is amazing, I saw it on your IG. Can you do this effect on a spray painted stainless steel cup?

[@JaneMonteith]

Tiffany Soto yes. Anything non porous will be fine.

[@mothermakeup7481]

why do my alcohol inks never dry? am I doing something wrong?

[@amyclark6640]

I love this! But do you know how you get the bigger "cells" in the first example? I've done it and it turned out full of lines from the wrap and not so crackled up in large cells like in this video..do you know what I could be doing wrong?

[@Beatriz-yy6qx]

Is this thecnique possible to use in ceramic peaces and burn then ?

[@marymogck7841]

Are they food safe?

[@kathleenhathaway5519]

That was awesome, thank you!

[@belindamason8286]

If I pre order your book when will it be available or an estimated time of shipment? Love this tutorial ❣️. Thanks so much for sharing your tips and awesome creations.

[@JaneMonteith]

Belinda Mason Thanks Belinda! The publisher is set to release November 19th I believe. So all get shipped then. Just in time for the holidays 💕

[@Alchemy_Art_Designs]

Thanks Jane👍 just wondering if it would be more cost effective and safer to brush the outsides with resin ?

[@marcohairdoctor]

Great ideas! are these bowls and vessels food safe after the color treatment and sealers?

[@cidbanares2509]

What’s the name of that pencil marker to color the rim of the bowl?

[@1600murphy]

When you're putting the varnish and UV resistant on do you do that to the inside of the bowl also

[@radwazakaria2362]

gorgeous❤️ If i used i colored the inside of the plate , can it be used i mean for eating???

[@brandytorrez32]

I was told to bake my glass after I inked them. Is that right? I can't find anything about it. Everything I see has the sprays. I've also heard that when you pour hot liquid in you can smell the spray and that's why they baked it. What's the right way please?

[@modhialeliwah6229]

If for example I did an alcohol ink art on a plate or a cup, what can I put or use to make the design not being washed off and safe to eat or drink from it?

[@dawnschwering6603]

Found your channel after seeing another video that mentioned this video. After sealing, are these food safe? I feel like it was implied by saying to wash like fine China in soap and water but I wanted to be sure.

[@anasoto3775]

Hi...where can i get that brand online?

[@BillWeyeARt]

Thanks for the video, Jane. I just did your ink course and found it very useful, and this technique is another good one to have in my pocket. TWO QUESTIONS. 1) why both the Kamar varnish and the UV Archival? Wouldn't just the UV Archival be fine? Are you using both varnishes for all substrates? and 2) are there any special notes you would give for using the crackle technique on Yupo paper?

[@JaneMonteith]

Bill Weye Thanks for taking the course. Glad you enjoyed it. With regards to the sprays you can certainly try just the uv Archival however the reason people use it first is to prevent bleeding when spraying the UV. The Kamar essentially seals and locks the inks in place. The crackle technique works great on yupo and is easy to do. You can just ink the yupo first and then cover with the cling wrap.

[@amethyst1826]

Hi. I tried this & it turned out 'ok.' Lol. On a clear vase, & I missed a bit - it's shaped like fat bottom, skinny neck, with tapers out wider, so a small problem wrapping. And I got a bare bit. Would you go over it, or clean off & try again, please?

[@WhiskeyBlack777]

But are the bowls still food-safe with that paint on top?

[@elainegobis6482]

Olá lindo seu trabalho, gostaria de saber qual tinha vc usa? 😘

[@charlesdhanielgarcia6961]

Hi, I'd like to ask if the sealers are food safe. Thank you

[@jennlozeau]

Ok I tried ur second technique but the bottom is just running off because of the alcohol

[@maggieqiu5645]

Do you protect the inner side of the bowl when you spay?

[@gabrielaetchepare7505]

Soo pretty!!!🤗😘thanks!!!! A question ....for the golden ink has the same result ??😅

[@JaneMonteith]

gabriela etchepare golden doesn’t make alcohol inks. They make acrylic inks which are not the same. But you can still attempt the same effect. :-)

[@gwenkearney7927]

So she does say at the end no they are not dishwasher safe, HOWEVER i have found modge podge dishwasher safe glue sealant. Haven't personally tried it yet but its an idea!

[@genevievemilot8187]

Have you ever put a dishwasher primer modpodge has one to your pieces My husband loves the dishwasher

[@JaneMonteith]

Genevieve Milot yes and it doesn’t work especially if you put it on hot cycle. Even after the recommended cure time of 28 days. The repetitive washing over time wears down the film and eventually chips off. Best to treat alcohol ink painted ceramics like fine china and lightly hand wash.

[@genevievemilot8187]

Thank you so much
