[@zzzz3190]

I have learned something after trying to make 10000001 petals: if I let the iso alc. set there a second, then tilt it in the direction I THINK it's going to go, which it sometimes goes there and sometimes a little left or right, then blow the leaf out when it's tilted, I can do MUCH better. Just my little trial and error moment....

I've done that on occasion too. You have to try different things to find what works beat for you...and that's how we learn all kinds of stuff. Good for you!

@@VivoVintageDesigns What I still have trouble with, especially on the 8x11 size paper, but on smaller too, is that it ends up fringy and fingers on the end instead of being able to close it into a V. I just feel like that’s nearly impossible given the mutable condition of ink

Jeannette you made this look so easy! I just recently started trying a little water color painting, acrylic painting, and sketching (and I'm 60). I couldn't draw a decent stick figure until I found some great online artists. When I saw this video I was SO inspired!! I'm okay at watercolor and sketching now; but this Alcohol ink art is just fascinating to me. I am so eager to get started. I'm going to start with blobs (don't know if that is the right word, lol) and work my way up to trying some of your beautiful art. My daughters and I have enjoyed making handmade cards for everyone since they were little (they are 24 and 21 now); so this will elevate our beautiful cards to another level!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talent with us. P.S. you mentioned a micro brush during your video (it was a little light green one). Is that an actual paint brush? It looked like a long plastic toothpick.

Hello mam. Hope all well with you. I have just about started practicing alchohol inks. I saw your video. Mesmerizing. Just wanted to ask you everytime you used alchohol to blow up the petal, it would not spread, how is that managed.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Can you rephrase the question?

[@LorraineTapper]

When I dry my ink the way you do with the hairdryer it goes in all different directions!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

It sounds like too much power. You might want to try the lowest setting or holding the dryer farther away from the ink, if you are already using the lowest setting. Hope this helps. 😊

[@louisezeller5402]

I followed exactly and it didn’t work. What do you do as prep, either to the inks, or to the photo paper beforehand? My inks just make dots on the paper with no flow. I use the glossy side of the Kirkland photo paper. Do you dilute the inks before using. Do you prep the paper?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

You should be using the matte side of the photo paper, not the glossy side. Also be sure to use 91 - 99% isopropyl alcohol. Give that try and let me know how it goes.

[@originalart888]

Hi I love your channel, thank you for sharing! Could I use canvas to create these and also am I able to use a blow dryer w a diffuser instead of buying the revlon dryer? Thank you for your help, can’t wait to get started! 💜

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Hi Lisa. You can use canvas as long as you seal it first. I like Kilz2, which is a water-based primer. You can use any hair dryer as long as it has a low setting, but I find most are too strong. You will have to use it at a good distance to simply dry the ink without blowing it around.

[@JuditSzenesJuditYourRealtor]

Do you use the glossy side of the photo paper or the backside?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I use the back side of kirkland photo paper.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Such a lovely flower! I’d like to know what you’re doing your painting on? It looks like a piece of kitchen paper,but wouldn’t the ink go through & stain your table underneath?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. Yes it's a paper towel and the ink will go through it, but is really there just to absorb the excess ink. What you don't see is that I have contact paper adhered to the desk I'm working on so that the ink will not ruin the surface. I can easily wipe the ink off of the low tack contact paper. I learned that little trick the hard way

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Here is a video to show you what I do - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXK3pmumrbuka9E

[@susanskinner6614]

This is soooooo gorgeous. I’ve recently treated myself to some alcohol inks but as soon as I put a drop on the paper it starts to spread and by the time I grab the hairdryer on which I’ve even put the diffuser, it spreads out even more😫. What am I doing wrong? I was looking forward to creating an amazing flower to make into a birthday card for a friend. At the moment I’ve got all the gear but no idea!! HELP !!! X

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

No need for a diffuser. Hopefully you have a dryer with setting that is not too strong. Use it on low and only warm or cool. Try using less ink and if need be, keep the dryer on so you can grab it as soon as you drop your ink. If your dryer is too strong, use it from a farther distance. Give these things a try and let me know if it helps.

[@zzzz3190]

Don't worry, I do the exact same thing, and I feel like I need one on one teaching or i''ll never get it right---I guess all we can do is keep trying and realize that everyone has their own way of doing things

[@user-hm9pe1cg7x]

When using a tile instead of paper my ink seems to run quickly before I can get it dry. Is there a trick to getting it dry quicker so it giant run so much?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Try using less ink and alcohol. I find that the inks flow more so than on photo paper and being that the surface is so much smaller, using less product may help you.

[@user-ip5wu7jg1f]

Hi, Jeanette, this is Dolores A-Gain, I purchased a Epoxy Resin dye kit of assorted colors from Amazon featured as Alcohol Ink. Having a hard time blowing into shapes I want and so googled to see if there is a difference between that an regular alcohol in. I've used on glass and bathroom tile having a high gloss finish, used a ranger blower, a straw, air can and hair blower on low. The epoxy resin separates and runs as soon as it hits the surface. Can you recommend a medium I can use because I really don't want to discard this package.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I've never used resin dye. I use Ranger and Pinata alcohol ink and love them both. I suppose you can use what you have with resin and make coasters or trays, (I've done both) but you'd have to purchase more supplied, in which case, you'd be better off just buying the brands of alcohol ink I just mentioned. Btw...when I made coasters with resin, I used the alcohol inks I have to add color to the resin.

As usual,no matter what tools you use you create beautiful art . I also got this Ranger blower,but if you have weaker hands and maybe arthritis, it’s not so easy.
