Just a short video showing you how I create alcohol ink flowers. Easy to do & is quite lovely.

Starting with a smooth surface created with resin on a wooden panel I show you how I create pretty alcohol ink flowers. Please let me know in the comments if you would be interested in the future in seeing the process from the very beginning from blank panel to a piece ready to hang.
Instructions for resin found in this video link. • Video starts at 15:52..thanks

Dang, smart idea! Resin over wood - you go girl!

Creating art is from the heart and is never cheating!!

Thanks Cheryl

The process was fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I though it turned out just beautiful and I love the gold leaves and stems!

[@heatherparry3159]

Beautiful! I haven’t seen this done before, so learning new things today - thanks so much!

[@treemaidenart]

Hi Heather. I hope it was helpful.Thanks for watching!

[@marnamclendon4201]

Absolutely great to see what you can do over resin! Thank you for that. What was the white that you used and was it premixed with alcohol?

[@Richiedei50]

Thank you so much for this video. I love the white on black. 🥰

[@treemaidenart]

Thanks Maureen..glad you enjoyed it.

[@annejohnson2231]

I would love to see your process from beginning to end and sealing too!

[@treemaidenart]

Hi Anne..thanks for watching,I appreciate it. I will remember to do another video at some point that includes prepping the substrate. As far as sealing, I did use resin to finish another piece I did like this but it was not as clear as leaving it done after the alcohol ink. I have a painting without sealing with resin that I have had for three years that is doing fine, so I would not worry too much about sealing. Meanwhile you can buy black canvases and just resin them then do your alcohol ink work over it(after it is cured at least a day or two). Or if you cannot find a black canvas then just paint a white one with acrylic paint then resin, then do you ai work...hope this helps.

I really like the dramatic effect of white on black, esp with the gold. Looks like you get pretty good control with the spray can. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the video.

[@treemaidenart]

Hi there! Yes I love the white on black. I have done a couple with green leaves and no gold and that looks nice too...Have a great day!

[@mkfranklin2179]

These flowers are stunning! Oh my gosh!❤❤❤ I have all the supplies except I have the ranger blower but I think I like your air can better. I don't know if my flowers would be this beautiful. I'm not very artistic. I do love doing resin pours. Alcohol inks are so incredible. Now I'll be watching al of your videos! No wonder my house is a mess! Haha

[@trudysmith2271]

Beautiful. I would love to see this process from the beginning.

[@treemaidenart]

Thanks Trudy. I don't do resin pieces often but I will leave a link here to an abstract piece I did that I covered with resin. Here I started with an 8x10 canvas and painted it with black acrylic paint then resin. There are black canvases out there so you won't have to paint your canvas. After I prepared the canvas(paint and resin) I did the alcohol ink flowers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ-bkoOpZZhjick (the resin part starts at 15:52 )...hope this helps.

Hi Debbie! Yup here I am😊This video was certainly not one of my best.

[@terrisellers507]

Great video and beautiful result! Did you dilute the white ink in the needlepoint bottle? Use snowcap or Pinata white? Thanks for sharing your process with us!

[@treemaidenart]

Hi Terri..thanks. I used Pinata and no didn't dilute it. Have a great day!

[@norinemueller4588]

So pretty gave me an idea to just buy a black tile so I can pratice since I have all the supplies I noticed you didn’t use any alcohol

[@treemaidenart]

Hi Noreen..thanks for visiting my channel. It is much appreciated. The surface is covered with resin which makes it very smooth and non porous so works well when you are blowing ink around. Have a happy day!

[@norinemueller4588]

@@treemaidenart thank you going to give it a try sure it’s going to be a mess but I’ll keep trying

[@treemaidenart]

@@norinemueller4588 A black tile will work..you will not get it the first time but it won't take long...good luck!🙂

I just came across your video and was so impressed I over trying new things but I'm going to do mine in 4x4 gloss tiles.i new to change for awhile for some reason my acrylic paintings do not want to co oppericote with me .any suggestions on the tile ink flowers. Love yours and look so pretty I have all the items . thank you so much for any help.🤩🤩🤩

[@treemaidenart]

Thank you so much Barbara. I do a bit of acrylic painting but it is fun to switch to alcohol ink to do pieces like this one. I did this one on a wooden board that I painted black then covered with resin so that my alcohol ink would flow. I had to have a black background so the white would stand out. I have done a few ceramic tiles in various colors of alcohol ink and they are pretty too. I would be sure to have some isopropyl alcohol down before quickly dropping on alcohol ink then blow with a dryer or straw. I know there are black 4x4 tiles out there but I have not been able to find them...hope you enjoy and be sure to check out my other videos as I have more alcohol ink, watercolor, cardmaking, bookmarks, coasters etc. Have a great day!

[@sasouder26]

Do you already have alcohol mixed in the white ink?

[@treemaidenart]

The white flowers are painted with alcohol ink...it is a alcohol based dye rather than the normal water base. You can gets the alcohol inks at art /craft stores or online from Amazon
