[@beats2476]

It almost looks like a Peoni. Beautiful and inspiring!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@caseyslove]

Terrific video. Thank you for showing the different roses that can be created with one colour using a variety of ink techniques.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

You are so welcome!

[@shabvintiqueflowers3064]

I love these especially the 3rd rose, with the mixed ink/alcohol! I love all your videos! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

You are so welcome! and Thank you.

[@TeriGogginRoberts]

Thank you for showing all these techniques AND for showing everything. I love that you showed that it took 4 tries to complete the center. I felt so much better about my multiple tries. Thanks for “normalizing” the trial and error. You got my follow for that. :)

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank you Theresa. That is the whole mission of my channel. When I messed up I didn't know what to do so in the trash it went. So I started pushing thru it and figured it out and the rest is ..... ha ha. You know the rest. Thank you for letting me know it helps

[@TampaBMan]

[@lhilaryslotta7312]

Thanks for giving several way you do roses. They are all beautiful!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Glad you like them!

[@klaudiadollbaum6382]

Beautiful

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank you

[@mpetersen2586]

I too like the way you showed the various ways to achieve a rose! Also, I’m always afraid to use a Posca pen and outline the various sections of the flower....I’m afraid if I like what I have created, I’m leery of outlining.....😳 for fear I’ll “mess” it up!!!!!! I enjoy your videos....you speak of humidity, you must be somewhere in the Midwest? Your accent I cannot place? We retired to the Southwest so humidity is not an issue here only during monsoons then the humidity does not stay around.....being from the Midwest myself, humidity and cold snowy winters are NOT missed! Blessings...

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

I am more south east . Tennessee. we get a little bit of everything.

[@paulawalker9016]

Thank you! Your tutorials always inspire and help me!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank you and you're welcome

[@yvonnehusic9879]

GREAT video tutorial! Thank you! I’m new to alcohol ink & haven’t tried it yet.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

oh are you going to have fun. let me know if you need any help.

[@yvonnehusic9879]

Thank you for responding! I’m still a bit intimated to try the alcohol inks, even though I have the inks and paper. One of these days.....🤷‍♀️

[@valerieoberleexec-artist]

very cool techniques. Will have to try this soon♥️♥️♥️

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Please do! tag me in your post.

[@UIV7096]

So Awesome!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thanks!

[@maritzavalverde5975]

Beautiful 😍

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@barbararosen1641]

They are great. I just wish we could find a way to make small flowers.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

you and me both. Only thing I can guess is with a marker. you can do it in a circle until it starts to blend with itself or a drop of alcohol and use the end of a brush to swirl it around until it dries. Just my thoughts.

[@joannestoddart3918]

Looks amazing. What ratio ink to alcohol in the little bottles please

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

I would start out with 1:9 ratio but it really depends on what you are doing . sometimes it is very little ink to alcohol , sometimes it is more ink than alcohol. I never mix up a lot so I can change it up.

[@candymuccioli469]

Thank you!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

You're welcome!

[@lisaromeo1221]

Fabulous thank you! Is the blower cool or warm? Also can you recommend a good blower?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

I use the Redken Brush Blower. I use it on hot. amzn.to/3ZQ6wNb

[@bjwatson3543]

I'm brand new to learning about alcohol inks, and I love your tutorials and how you actually explain what you're doing. Would you mind clarifying--are you using a regular heat gun, like the type people use for embellishing? Your gun is so close to the paper, I have found myself burning (and sadly, melting) various things over the years, and am in awe of how close you are to the paper! Thank you for creating...

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

The blow dryer I am using is a Revlon Brush dryer. it has a brush attachment on the end that I take off. It is just a blow dryer. The heat gun has the heat but not the air flow that I need for these.

[@bjwatson3543]

@@SCARYHAIRLADY thank you so much for such a helpful answer! Trial and error can get so expensive sometimes! I have been watercoloring for several years now, and recently discovered fluid art; there are endless possibilities!!! Thanks again for your answer!

[@BetGR1]

New to your videos. How do you add leaves to your flowers?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Welcome Betty, I have a video on that. Here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3rEg5pvnrmbi7c Also any video that has leaves I do go over what I use and the paint I like to use. Just find some leaves that you like and go to that video. Let me know if you have any more questions

[@sweetanugupta]

A lovely and detailed video. Are you using the hair dryer or heat gun?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Hairdryer Thank You

[@girlsho]

So cool movie♡♡♡

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank You

[@beckyholland1876]

Would this technique work well on tile? I love your helpful videos.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Yes, absolutely I think it would do great on tile.

[@Gennytrot]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Beautiful. When you say you use only Kirklan photo paper, is it glossy finish? Photopaper for printers? Because I'v tried photo paper once, tried both sides, and it wasn't successful at all... 😞

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

it is the kirkland's Glossy Photo paper. Yes it is used in the printer. It has a tulip on them.

[@heartlandmooninspired]

Fascinating! How close to the paper/ink are you with the dryer?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

About an inch to inch and half. But its on low and low heat

[@caseyslove]

Forgot to ask. Do you use the shiny side or the more matte side of the Kirkland photo paper? Some artists say the back of the paper is best. You do such beautiful things with alcohol inks - I would love to know your method. Thank you.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

the back side. the matte side. The shiny side is make to soak in the ink as it is the side that gets printed on. Thank you for your comment.

[@jolonsdale2167]

Hi, great video. Could you tell me what hairdryer your using please?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Thank You. yes it is a Revlon brush dryer. a link is in the description below the video too. it is about 20-22 . It is really nice to have.

[@SillyGurl12]

Lorrie, I am brand new to AI, and I am absorbing as much info as I can about this. These roses are stunning! I've just learned that I can't get 99% isopropyl alcohol in my state...am I doomed??? Is there something else I can use to achieve these effects successfully? My heart is breaking to think that I won't be able to do this!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

no not doomed use 91% ive even used 70%, not my first choice by far, it takes longer to dry

[@SillyGurl12]

Whew!! Okay, thanks! I'll work with those options!

[@tking7295]

What is in the clear bottle

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Isopropyl alcohol. In needle nose bottles.

[@ranjisharaghavan5571]

Hey, you mentioned about beading and humidity. My alcohol dries up so quickly and so can get so much of drying time for making such circles. Could that be bcz of humidity around?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

If I have too high heat they will dry faster. If it is humid then I get the little beads. They don't bother me. If you need more time drying just add some alcohol and keep going. The humidity will bother it a little but the heat cancels it out. But humidity will not make it dry faster. Hope this helps

[@ranjisharaghavan5571]

@@SCARYHAIRLADY oh ok. Thanq so much for your detailed reply 😊

[@LauraS13]

Your blowing tool I looked and can’t find anything with Tim’s name on it ,I do have a heat gun shaped just like your using but it’s one speed and only hot ,for the life of me can’t find one with different modes can you help ? Love to see the make of yours

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Look in the description box. On a computer it says show more on a phone its an arrow on the right. Once you are in the description box there is a list if all my supplies with links.

[@LauraS13]

@@SCARYHAIRLADY yes I know and did that your name for the blower is Tim hoItz , googled even went straight to the company ranger and sent them a email .ranger makes one but it’s more in the shape of a blow dry and no where does it say it has speed or temp setting ,I do have a cheapo shaped just like the one you used here but it only has one speed and temp ...

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Ok. I watched the video and the first 3 are revlon blower and the last one was the Tim Holtz Blowing tool.

[@LauraS13]

@@SCARYHAIRLADY thanks honey bunch

[@gunjanbansalkansas]

Can we use a heat gun instead of a hair dryer..

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

in most cases yes. just don't get to close and keep it moving.

[@Kristify801]

What’s the ratio of ink to isopropyl in the bottle?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

It really depends on how light or dark you want your color. If you are wanting it darker add less alcohol if you want it pink then add more alcohol. So the amounts can vary.

[@leeojascastro711]

Is that just alcohol you’re using or blending solution?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Alcohol. I never got the hang of blending solution.

[@diannagreen6613]

Another question . Is Pinata Blanko the same as Ranger Snow Cap ?

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

no. I haven't figured out snow cap. Pinata Blanco does really well with inks. But not alone with alcohol. But does well with ink and alcohol .

[@diannagreen6613]

What is the ratio of alcohol and ink together in little bottles . I'd like to try that in your rose method

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

it really depends on how dark or light you want it. I have some that are 50/50 and some are 10% ink to 90% alcohol. you will just have to play with it. Good luck

[@jonaeflure]

Thank you for not spending up your tutorial. It's helpful sometimes to see just how long things are done. I noticed you have dr. Ph Martins inks on your list. Do you mix them in a bottle with alcohol or use them straight out of the bottle? How do you like them? It was nice chatting on messenger thus morning. This kitty of yours is quite a little talker.

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

That is a booboo. I just used alcohol ink. I copy and paste all the list and did not correct the colors. I will do that now. But for the Dr. ph love them. I will do a review on them. You can use them with water or alcohol. but when used with water and it dries it is done. You can not reactive it. but alcohol will reactivate it . In the video that comes out wed. #98 I talk a little about it. Good luck

[@jonaeflure]

@@SCARYHAIRLADY Great! Awaiting #98...

[@ponygecko]

Hey ScaryHairLady...love your work! What are the proportions of ink to alcohol you mix in your bottles? I may have missed that comment. TIA

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

it really depends on how dark you want it. sometimes I do a 1 part ink to 9 parts alcohol. or 50/50. But don't do the whole bottle you may want to change it next time. good luck

[@Shylade]

Seriously liken to magic tricks.. once you know how it’s done it’s like.. that’s it? I can do that which is exactly why I am happy the true story is much easier to replicate thank you!

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

Yep once you know what's behind the curtain the whole painting world opens up.

[@TerriMeenach]

Please do not use alcohol inks around your pets or children. I have been an alcohol ink artist for years and I always have a 3M respirator mask on and my window open. Alcohol ink fumes are toxic!!! I am sure you love your pets and you don't want to expose your animals to toxic fumes. I have three cats and they are not allowed in my art studio.

[@NoevaArt]

My cats also like to smell the inks, but I make sure they don't enter the office.. I ask God to take care of them when I'm not paying attention.🥲🙏🏻❤️🐈🐈‍⬛

[@Faux.P]

Good information to know!! And I’m sure she knows as she’s also been doing this for years but sometimes ppl have better ventilation than others so hopefully that’s the case. But anyways, thanks for the reminder, I definitely didn’t know these things when I first started a few years ago! 😊

[@SCARYHAIRLADY]

I tried to tell Henry but he just wont listen. He wants to hang out and even sometimes he just sits on my art table waiting for me to come and paint. I also do not show my set up because that is not what people want to watch. I fully support everyone to do alcohol inks as they see fit. I assure you we are fine.
