[@kimberlieverschoor3814]

So beautiful!! I can’t wait to try it! I’ve made a couple of others that were really simple so I am excited to try something more complicated!

Hi, when you do this technique on glass, what kind of base paint should I use ie the white. Does it need to be water based?

[@poohdbearaf]

Beautiful

[@jennifermcqueary7446]

Beautiful!

[@localladsgeneralcontractor7109]

Having a heavier white on the gold spots helps. I would love to have this mug

[@ThePurpleStitch]

You should definitely make one! Inks are so easy, I love them!

[@veronicajaramillo513]

I am needing to do a green with black cup... but I didn't know if I should to do the base color black or white... but I see that you used a white base and it worked out great... but I don't know if it's my phone or my eyes .... but this cup looks blue... not green or teal... lol🤷‍♀️

[@ThePurpleStitch]

It’s one of those colors that doesn’t photograph well. 😁 I had a tough time getting pictures of it afterwards, too. Rainforest green is definitely teal and not the green I anticipated. 😆

I love your designs and I also use the aleeseeya method on my cups and she has helped me many times with design advice

[@ThePurpleStitch]

Thank you!! I love that technique!

Beautiful!❤️❤️❤️

[@honey562012]

I like it with the big patches of gold even though it can take over the design. I have never seen you drop a color into the gold. Hum??? Thanks for sharing

[@ThePurpleStitch]

🥰 you’re welcome!

[@nancyeaguiar]

Just to make sure I don’t do it wrong... you add the alcohol inks while the epoxy is still fresh, right?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

Yep! And thick enough for it to move around but not so much that it drips off.

[@batgirl1119]

i didnt see you using the White... did I missed it or didnt use it? also whats the ratio of epoxy use vs the size of the tumbler?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

At the 12 minute mark. I like to mix more than I think I’ll use. Typically I will mix 30 mL for a 30 ounce cup and apply as thick as necessary. There’s usually 5-10 mL remaining depending on how much movement I’m going for. If it’s cold, I tend to apply more since it’s harder to get good movement without a lot more heat.

[@krystalferina4883]

Do you have an example of when you used the gold mixative?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I sure don’t 😕. I’ve only used silver mixative and it was a mess since I tried using it like an ink!

[@productplacement8492]

Could you get the same effect using mica??

[@ThePurpleStitch]

It should....but I haven’t tried it.

[@lilycessna3077]

Are you using a hair dryer?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I used to use an embossing gun. I’ve switched to an actual heat gun for movement and torch for bubbles.

[@lilycessna3077]

@@ThePurpleStitch Excellent! It sounded like a hairdryer. LOL So my heating gun will work fine. Thank YOU! Appreciate you!

[@debsb53]

Could you do this on glass?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I have seen people do inks on glass, but I have never tried. I’ve only done a glitter wine glass.

[@lachellejohnson636]

Beautiful Beautiful, you mention a person name Alyssa do you have her KZbin or Fb to view the image you spoke about in this video

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I don’t have a video or channel for her, it was a video that I watched in a Facebook group. I’m not sure if there is a channel. I’m sorry! I did do a video doing it the way she did in her video. She does the white differently that I do. But she was the first person I saw take the arm off.

[@lizzylou7601]

Do you sell these? Where do I go to purchase

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I do sell tumblers, my page is on Facebook. Www.facebook.com/thepurplestitch ☺️

[@deedeeharper4088]

How much epoxy did you use?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

I started with 30 mL but didn’t use it all. You need enough that there’s movement, but not so much that it’s falling off.

[@rosalindasanchez1923]

When you say 30 ml , how much A and how much B ?

[@ThePurpleStitch]

Rosalinda Sanchez my epoxy is 1:1 ration, so 15 and 15. Some epoxy is a 2:1, so be sure to double check what you have for confirmation. 🙂
