Beautiful technique. Could you share where you buy your frames to display the alcohol ink artworks. Thank you:)

[@romanowskiart]

interesting in some ways...

[@Iexpress2explore]

what is that host you are using? looks like an air brush? kindly advise

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hai lily. I don't used an airbrush. Actually it is an infuse hose. Or flexible straw. Its from the hospital. I use my breath and blow trough this for spredding the ink. A plastic straw will works also very good!

[@suekruger8525]

Beautiful i wondered if there is a cheaper paper i can use instead of the yuppo thankyou from Australia

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hello Sue, there is a facebook group for this technique. I think from Australia. Maybe they have an idea. And my YT video is on that group: Soldering iron ink art on yupo.

[@gillianjf260]

Is it a soldering iron?

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hai Gillian, actually this is a tool for burnig patterns in wood. You can try a soldering iron. I hoop it is not too hot for the yupo.

[@gillianjf260]

Thank you. Maybe the soldering iron would be scary! Really love the concept and your colours. Hope you’ll become a regular on Utube.

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Yesterday I publised a new video on You tube with a technique with alcohol ink. Easy to do!

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

@@gillianjf260 Hai, I've update this video and add links for buying the supplies. Also for the burning tool.

[@ericmorrell806]

Some soldering irons have variable heat settings. You could use one of those. I use my variable soldering iron for lots of different things including wood burning. Amazon has lots of options.

[@denisewood9636]

Thank you for the video, I'm a beginner - learning! I noticed that you peeled the yupo paper off your board, leaving the cut pieces behind (which you scraped off) Is the board you are sticky?

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hello Denise. The board is not sticky. With heating the yupo it melts. And because it behaves like plastic it sticks on the glass plate i use.

[@denisewood9636]

@@elsiescreationstoshare5888Thank you for the info!!

[@conniegreene9641]

Also , is there a reason why you chose the dark lines to follow, or does it really matter?

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

When you burn along the dark lines, it will reinforce depth: 3D effect.

[@Cascadia2011]

Wow!! Beautiful work! I love this! Can you please share a link for the foam pads?

How do you keep from getting white lines around your cutouts?

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hallo Johnnie. Melting yupo always gives white lines. In some projects I colored the lines black. Or I work in this technique only with light colors so the lines are much less noticeable. Hope this tips helps you.

[@johnnieboswell2355]

@@elsiescreationstoshare5888 Thank you

[@ritaelstad1012]

I appreciate this video very much. I bought the tool and today tried it. Works well. But I have a question: is burning the Yupo paper toxic? I had an overhead fan on and window open, but I could see fumes. Do you wear any kind of a respirator while doing these projects? Thank you again, and I hope to hear from you!

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hello Rita, I don't wear a mask or something with this project. An open window is always good if you work with the inks.

[@bethbenson1931]

She did not answer about the toxic fumes from the burned Yupo paper, just the alcohol inks. It worries me that artists sometimes totally ignore the dangers of burning plastic. My guess is to err on the side of caution and assume that the fumes are very harmful and protect yourself. 💙

[@johnnieboswell2355]

I can't find the same wood burning tool on Amazon. Can you tell me which one you use? Thank you!

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hallo Johnnie. I bought mine in The Netherland. But this one on Amazone is the same www.amazon.com/Walnut-Hollow-Introduction-Intermediate-Woodburners/dp/B000VRTG8Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1543608988&sr=8-7&keywords=woodburning+tools

@@elsiescreationstoshare5888 Thank you!

[@aprilsballoon]

Beautiful but the papers have not been treated to protect the art. Typically you'd varnish, then uv protect and then gloss protect alcohol ink projects to protect etc.

[@pamgravett3758]

Just tried this, thank you very much for you video, may I ask is it really necessary to use such small foam pads? And if you wanted the layers further apart would you use two pads stuck together?thanks.

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

Hai Pam, For bigger parts in de second layer you can use bigger pieces of foam (or use dubble stick tape) but you need the same high (thickness). When you stick two pads together you may see the pads on the edges in the finished creation. And that's not so nice because you than show the secret of the 3D effect..... Hope you can use this answer.

[@pamgravett3758]

Elsie's creations to share yes, thank you very much for your help.

[@pamgravett3758]

Elsie's creations to share sorry I am back again! I have know seen some amazing 3d cut outs with tiny, tiny cells and am puzzled as to how on earth they are layered, because there is no room to fix foam pads in between the holes, any ideas please? Thanks in advance.

[@elsiescreationstoshare5888]

On the very small spaces i cut the tiny pads in two and I use half pads. I use a paire of tweezers.

[@pamgravett3758]

Elsie's creations to share gosh, thank you, that must be soo fiddly!
