[@katherinebourke171]

I love watching your tutorials Lorrie...you are THE BEST when it comes to teaching and your work is always so so beautiful. You have taught me so much...THANK YOU lady🤗

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so very much! You always leave me the sweetest comments!

[@wtglb]

“Ink Herder”, that’s perfect! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LorrieBrewer]

Lol I laughed so hard when I read the comment with that one! It really is a pretty good description lol

[@mararizona1]

I love these new tutorials you’ve recently made. Don’t worry about talking while the dryer goes I can hear you just fine and I prefer it to the voice over so I can understand what you are doing and thinking as you create. ♥️

[@LorrieBrewer]

Thank you so much to both of you @mararizona1 and @Katherine Bourke! I am glad you are enjoying the tutorials and hope you are getting plenty of useful tips.

Delicate and very pretty!

Thank you very much!

If you put a spinal column on it and a prefrontal cortex, you’d have an AMAZING abstract brain…I want it for my office! 😊

[@zzzz3190]

I wish there was a way I could send you my very first attempt, because I inadvertently made something I absolutely did NOT mean to make but it’s pretty funny anyway. Love all your videos. LOVE all your abstracts !! I was up til 4 watching your videos on my TV and I think I know what I’m doing wrong.

[@thuururuu2]

I work with resin but been wanting to try alcohol inks so this was really helpful! Thanks so much!

[@pattiobrien5408]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you 😊

[@dlee806245]

Lorrie I just can't get my hair dryer to work, I have watched you videos many time. By the way I love your work and I do have the same dryer as you.

[@Darkyvarg]

Thanks for this great tutorial

[@jaxbrooks5821]

That really is quite lovely. Your tutorials are excellent and informative. I have an airbrush, I wonder if that would work as well as your dryer? I just have splodges right now on the film and I'm rather heavy-handed lol I love your accent btw! I do hope you'll continue making these videos, you inspire me. Take care x

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you xoxo

[@katherinebourke171]

Hi Lorrie...I just got my 99% alcohol and piñata brass just now...so excited!!!! I'm going to give it a go and see how well I've paid attention to your instructions LOL

[@LorrieBrewer]

I hope all is going good with your painting! You’ll have to let me know how you like the brass.

[@pietropaolotaje6217]

Hi. I really like your works. I have only approached this technique for a few weeks and the results are often disappointing. I follow your wonderful tutorials ti learn. Unfortunately, I’m Italian and I don’t know English and I try ti learn from the pictures. I can’t give that bristle effect. Can you give me some advice? I thank you and I stil give you many compliments. LELLA

[@LorrieBrewer]

I am sorry you are feeling frustrated with your art. I still feel that way sometimes. It takes a lot of practice to really get the hang of it and some days the ink just doesn’t want to cooperate lol. My biggest advice is to make sure you do not put your air source directly over your ink and alcohol. You need to direct the inks from the side, not from the top, or it will be too hard to control. I hope this helps you a little bit.

[@stephaniecizmar6441]

Hi! Do you just add your metallics or pearls to needle tip bottles because its easier to use or do you mix them with something else in those bottle? Thx so much for these tutorials

[@LorrieBrewer]

It’s just easier to use a needle tip bottle. I get my brass in 4 ounce bottles that don’t have an applicator tip of any kind on them.

[@doreenfong6264]

Hi Lorrie - I've been following your art work. I love how the pinata brass is artfully incorporated. My brass doesn't do that. Either it blends and mixes with the color or it is an appealing blob. I use Grafix plastic. If i use Nara paper or another substrate will that produce a more artistic brass look like yours? I 've been struggling and trying differnet techniques. Ready to give up on brass even tho I love it!!! Appreciate any help! Thank you!!

[@suelangwell9496]

Hi Lorrie, I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I really enjoy them. I watched your video on using a stencil to embellish one of your pieces and I tried it today, however I didn't realize until I was finished that I had not sealed my picture. Can I seal it now once the stencil has dried? I appreciate any information you can share with me. Thanks 😀

[@LorrieBrewer]

You can definitely seal it after you stencil. I just like to seal mine first so I don’t worry so much about accidentally scratching or smudging the inks while doing the stenciling.

[@suelangwell9496]

Hi Lorrie...I have another question if you don't mind. I went ahead and embellished my picture using the glass medium and stencil, but now I notice some smudging marks around it. What I want to know is, should I give it another coat of sealant, then once it's mounted on a board if I pour resin over it, will the smudging marks show through? Do you have an email address where maybe I could send you a picture? My explanation isn't to clear I know. Sorry..thank you 🙂

[@briday007]

Will the result be the same on canvas? thank you

[@0427DORA]

Hi Lorrie, I learned a lot from your videos！Thank you!! I May I ask one question I bought a can of Pinata Brass ink (4 oz.) and divided it into small bottles, but the metal would precipitate when I used it. But I used small one(.5ft) ink that is work ! Could you give me any suggeston,please？

[@janesavage4733]

Everyone uses Brass but can you use Gold ?

[@mkowalska11]

Can you tell me please why the brass pinata is delaminating. you can't see pretty gold, just a little glitter. 😢

[@Jayden-vl4el]

hi lorrie I've been doing inks for a few months and your tutorials are absolutely brilliant just one question do I need to wear a respirator whilst working with the inks and iso

[@pattiobrien5408]

She answers that in part one.

[@brigittebeaudin-zo5rt]

Es ce que ce serait possible d'avoir une traduction en français ,vous êtes tellement intéressante.

[@LorrieBrewer]

I wish I could, but I just don’t have time to use Google translate to do subtitles in other languages. I only know a very small amount of Spanish and not enough to translate a video into that lol. Sadly, I don’t know French at all. I’m very sorry!

[@johanssonstudio]

Why do you put your brass ink into the quilling glue bottle instead of using the bottle it comes in?

[@angelpurple17]

What type of paper did you use? I can’t find the information for some reason.

[@katherinebourke171]

Are you using the 99% alcohol with this one or 91%?

[@LorrieBrewer]

I used the 99%. I always use it as long as I can find it. Anymore, I only use the 91% if I run out of 99%. It helps with the moisture beading a little bit.

[@katherinebourke171]

@@LorrieBrewer Thank you, I thought thats what it was because it dries sooo much faster....where do you usually get yours? I have tried several places and no one seems to even know what I'm talking about. They act like I'm crazy trying to find 99%😮‍💨😟

[@hollyjackson7213]

I’m so new at this…. A few questions: What brand paint do you use? Do you have anything mixed with your gold?

[@katherinebourke171]

@@hollyjackson7213 it's not paint Holly, it's alcohol ink
