IMPORTANT: THERE ARE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS TO USING ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOL INK. AS I EXPLAIN IN THIS AND OTHER VIDEOS ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE DEMONSTRATED HERE, OUTDOORS IS THE PREFERRED PLACE TO DO THIS TECHNIQUE. FAILING THAT, INDOOR CONSIDERATIONS ARE ADEQUATE VENTILATION, PROPER USE AND STORAGE OF THE PRODUCTS (THEY ARE FLAMMABLE), AND POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS TO OTHERS IN YOUR HOME, INCLUDING PETS. IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE BREATHING GEAR (VENTILATOR).

This piece is stunning. I'm new to alcohol ink and really enjoyed your video. You are so informative. I ran into one problem, though. I used a 55 lb velum and it curled up like crazy. What do you think I am doing wrong?
@TheTallestOne5 жыл бұрын
Eileen, I'm sorry I missed your comment until now; my apologies. Thank you for your feedback. I believe the curling of the velum may have to do with the amount of heat directed at it. If you're using a heat gun and it has a Cool setting, try that. If not, use a small craft/hair dryer on a Low and if possible, Cool, setting. I hope that works for you.

Yes! I know there are various weights of vellum too, Maureen -- I expect the heavier it is, the less likely it will be to warp. Try to keep alcohol (or blending solution, or whatever) to a minimum and use a cool setting if possible on your craft dryer. (I often heat emboss on velum, so it can be heated, but only for very quick spurts.) I've been using Craft Plastic by Grafix for a few months -- a substate that wipes back to white (!) and isn't prone to warping, even when heated. Great stuff.

Hi Kathryn, I see that this video was made a year ago + so this may be a redundant statement. But, I thought your visitors might like to know that in December 2018, a new company was featured on KZbin. It's called Kielty Inks. They are out of Dublin, Ireland and they are, Ta Da!........... NON TOXIC!!!!!!.....................Because of where they are, they are costly, but if you love AI and have a need for a nontoxic environment, you are no longer excluded from creating with Alcohol Inks. Thanks so much for such an informing demonstration. The finished piece is lovely and watching you was very, very helpful.

Thank you for your kind feedback, Judith, and the reminder about this new brand. I only recently heard about the Kielty Inks and haven't had an opportunity to try them out yet.

FYI Brown happens when you mix colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel. Eg purple and yellow. Another way of explaining it is, when you mix hot (red/orange/yellow) and cold (purple/blue/green) colours together wet. You can put them next to each other, but you will end up with muddy brown if you mix them when they are wet.

Hello and thank you for subscribing! Distress ink is water-based and alcohol ink is alcohol-based. As such, they act very differently so are not interchangeable. Having said that, you can get some very interesting effects with Distress ink (including Distress Oxide ink). Distress inks react with water, though, not with alcohol. Alcohol inks react with alcohol -- or other solvents -- but not with water. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks very much, Katherine! I would suggest beginning with safety measures and ensuring you and your home are adequately prepared for dealing with alcohol fumes and the inherent risks of using alcohol. From there, I would start with the primary colors of ink, as you can mix them to create other colors. You'll also need a substrate like vellum or Yupo and a small craft or hair dryer (NOT a heat tool) that has a low speed and temperature setting. A lazy susan is helpful (but not absolutely necessary); as I note in the video, it can be used to help blow fumes blown away from you and to manage the flow of ink on your project.

Hi Jennifer... the only ink I diluted in this video was one used for the alcohol wash. All the other ink I used was full concentration.

I listened just fine... but having an oven fan running in the next room isn't going to prevent you from breathing the toxic fumes the hair dryer is heating up... you need to be outdoors or in a vented hood (or wearing a respirator)... just my opinion.... but a fan isn't going to help. Folks don't get it until its too late......

Great video but I’d invest in a mic, kinda echoey.

Hi Lynnea. I'm speaking into a microphone but I'm not in a studio so acoustics aren't ideal.
