Inspire-Art Journal with Alcohol Inks by Lynda

[Lynn41284]

I love this! arent you worried abt the ink and Alcohol going thru your other pages underneath?

[dragongourd]

You just keep going long after I would have quit, and it gets more and more amazing!

[jubi2k10]

I'm 67 and looking for my lost creativity. This looks great, and I will be watching your other videos. Did you add the gloss pages to your journal? Or treat them somehow? I want to try this, but want to set it up properly before I get inspired. I'm very impressed with the way you work - confident, loose, and like you are having fun. Thanks for posting this : )

[dollstarstudios]

I LOVE this! It's absolutely amazing. ;)

[SuperElfride]

[143sheri]

Awesome!!! Question? How did you get the page so glossy for the inks to work?

Thanks a million

[lulu11lupita]

what type of journal do you use???

[KathrineFarmer]

About how long does it take you to make a page? And does O' face productions mean that you baby helps? If so how do you work time in for yourself with a baby?

[juancarlos23am]

[eastendcrafter19]

[EccentricBetsi]

Yikes, that's a lotta ink! :) But the result is well worth it - loving this!

[luckybutterfly2]

@EccentricBetsi Yes, I might have accidentally dropped too much ink onto that page :) Thanks for the compliment!

[scottie32021]

Blimey thats what I call getting on with it.... BRILL I will love having a go at this, does it not soak the other pages underneath I am very new to Art Journal videos so it is exciting to watch...good match of music.

[DaisyPanda123]

wow that is one pretty art journal page <3

[luckybutterfly2]

@DaisyPanda123 Thanks :) I had a lot of fun making that one :)

[jstareyes]

I loved watching you create that image, just wish it was a tad bit slower and that I could have a chance to see watch paints etc you were using. But really great stuff!

[luckybutterfly2]

@jstareyes I was using ranger alcohol inks and elmers paint markers :) Thank you for your comment, and for watching :)

[ucantseeme33]

[luckybutterfly2]

@ucantseeme33 That is the magic of having video editing software, lol..but thank you :)

[Ammiel7]

[luckybutterfly2]

@Ammiel7 Thank you :)

[newtolife48]

[luckybutterfly2]

@newtolife48 I'm always happy to hear that I inspired someone :) I hope you have fun with your alcohol inks!

[mireillie]

[luckybutterfly2]

@mireillie Thanks! :)

[ChapmanGriffith]

great job

[luckybutterfly2]

@ChapmanGriffith Thank you :)

[mEtHoDiCaLmAdNeSs89]

How heavy is your sketchbook paper used in the video? It looks around 70-80 lb paper. Also, did you glue a few pages together for this project? I have a spiral-bound sketchbook too, but I don't want to use any heavy inks or a lot of water and then the pages fall out/rip from the coil. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. :)

Also, great video and beautiful inks! Love your choice of composition.

[Hinatalol09]

ur an awesome artist...where do u get alchohol ink they seem fun to use

[luckybutterfly2]

@Hinatalol09 Thank you very much :) You can get alcohol ink at your local craft store (MIchaels is where I go). If you cant find them there, you can always find them online :)

[KatchKatrine]

Love your energy and freedom. I am inspired.

[luckybutterfly2]

@KatchKatrine Always happy to inspire! Thanks for the sweet comment :)

[kimmerbe]

Fabulous techniques, and video! Thanks for sharing! I didn't think paint markers would work so well on top of alcohol inks!

[MsShanarun]

Loved it! Looks like you had so much fun doing this! :)

[luckybutterfly2]

@MsShanarun Thank you :) I did have fun doing that. Alcohol inks are one of my favorite things to use. I just love them!

[proudcbwife]

Awesome artwork! This is the kind of scrapbooking pages my teenage kids would really love and appreciate, and say "COOL!"

You have inspired me to try something new!

[luckybutterfly2]

@proudcbwife Aw, thank you very much :) Glad I could inspire you and your family. Hope your new ideas work out well for you!

[lafiorevida]

[luckybutterfly2]

@lafiorevida Thank you :) I use Elmers paint pens from Wal-Mart, lol

[paradoxyitisme]

I love your work you have inspired me to get out the inks again. Hey I LOve paint pens too, how did we ever live without them???

[luckybutterfly2]

That is very sweet of you to say :) Thank you very much for watching, and for the compliment

[Netty083]

Wow, very neat - so does the gesso allow the inks to blend like glossy paper? I'm going to have to try this when I get home! Thanks for sharing!

[luckybutterfly2]

You're welcome :) The gesso doesn't really make it glossy or anything. I just start out with gesso because my journal was an old planner and I don't usually like those images to show through. :)

[ohiosleep]

Love it! Very creative and happy :) plus love your musice selection! Keep the videos coming!

[luckybutterfly2]

Thanks :) i will definitely keep the videos coming. Thanks for the compliments!
