 Γεια σας, καλωστάω και καλωστάω. Είναι Vicky εδώ και σήμερα έχω ένα βίντεο επίπεδο. Έχω δεύτερη ευκαιρία που έχω δεύτερη ευκαιρία στο σχέδιο μου και έχω δεύτερη ευκαιρία σήμερα που είχα δεύτερη ευκαιρία στο σχέδιο. Έτσι, είχα δεύτερη ευκαιρία να κάνω ένα βίντεο επίπεδο, να σας δείξω τα κόμματα και τα πρόσωπα και ελπίζω να εξηγήσω όλα τα ευκαιρία. Τώρα, το ένα που χρησιμοποιηθώ είναι από το Tonex Studios και μπορείς να δείξεις ότι έχει δεύτερη ευκαιρία να εξηγήσεις και να εξηγήσεις τα πρόσωπα, αλλά θα μιλήσω για το πρόσωπο. Έτσι, αυτό είναι σχέδιο σχέδιο που δημιουργεί ότι είναι πολύ δύσκολο και στις ευκαιρίας, είναι πολύ στήριο και υπάρχει πλαστική πίτα underneath, όπως μπορείς να δείξεις. Λοιπόν, όταν βάζω από το σχέδιο μου, όμως τι κάνω από το σχέδιο, δεν μείνει από εμένα. Τώρα για χρόνια και χρόνια, έχω been working on self-healing mats which I do love still, but I found them really hard to clean and they don't take heat, at least the ones I had. Λοιπόν, είμαι going to measure the one that I have so that you can see how big that surface is and I'm going to give you the measurements on both inches and centimeters. So that's 60 by 36 in centimeters and it's 23 inches and 3 quarters of an inch by 14 and a quarter in inches. And again, there are many different brands of glass mats in the market. So I'm just showing you what I have at home. Now the main grid area on this glass mat, the one that I'm having by Tonic Studios, is in centimeters. So all the grid that you see is in centimeters and it's perfect for Europeans. I got mine from Amazon UK. By the way, this is not a sponsored video. I'm just showing you what I'm using just because I get so many questions about that. Now there are also measurement areas that you can use for creating your stardart card sizes and again, that's in metric system. And there are also on the other side, there are also different rectangles that you can use for creating your mats all the way from a bigger to a smaller one both in rectangles and in squares. Down below the description area you will find links to this glass mat that I'm using but also to other brands that you will find in the market. And instead of having the centimeters, they will have inches. So there is an inch ruler here, the one that I'm showing you here as well as that tiny little grid is in inches. I have learned to work both in centimeters and inches. So this is not an issue for me but you need to keep that in mind if you want to get this specific glass mat. Now I'm going to show you these corners, these are plastic corners and that's how the glass mat came. So you can place them there but I find that the corners are nicely rounded and I like how they are. Actually I tend to grab my hand on those corners so I decided to remove them and I won't be using them at all. Now this is a glass mat that you are supposed to cut on top of it. And I'm going to show you how easy it cuts. It really cuts like butter. It was a big surprise for me since I have been working on a self-feeling mat for so long and I didn't believe that it would cut so well. But anyway, the blade just slides on top of that and this is the number one question that I got since I have started using this glass mat if the knife creates scratches on top of the glass mat. Well, it doesn't create any scratches at all. It's totally smooth. Remember this is tempered glass. It's like the glass that we have on the screens of our mobile phones. But you need to remember that the blade of your craft knife might dull sooner than if you were using it on top of a self-heeling mat. Now I don't cut paper too much with my craft knife on top of my surface so this is not an issue for me but depending on how you use your surface then you need to keep that in mind. For me, the most important thing on a glass mat is to be able to apply heat for embossing for example which this glass mat can take and also easy cleaning. Self-heeling mats are not as easy to clean since they have all those scratches where the ink can go inside. So for all the mess and for many techniques like blending I had to bring in my ranger craft mat but the glass mat combines everything and I can do all the work on top directly. So you see it's very slippery just like that ranger craft mat and I can do my blending beautifully and I don't care if I apply ink on top of my mat. This is not self-heeling mat. The ink is not going to sink inside those scratches and it will be easy to remove even without water. So I'm just going to bring in a clean cloth here and everything comes right off. Which makes it the perfect surface for mixed media and for tons of techniques. So for example I can do the famous technique of team holes where I am squeezing a little bit of ink. I'm applying water and then I can bring in a watercolor paper and just place it on top of that and it works perfectly fine and I will have no issues cleaning. Now here is another thing that I love about this surface is that it is white which means that when I am applying a color on top of it I can see the real color as opposed to the craft mat that I used to work on which was brown the ranger one I mean. So I can use it as a palette and I am going to apply a few colors with my zig markers there and then I can easily use my water brush to apply the color on my paper as well as I can do the mixing and I don't care at all if I make a mess on top of my glass mat because it's super easy to clean. And if you find that some of the ink doesn't go away just spray it with a bit of water and it's brand new again. Now one thing that I had trouble with was alcohol markers. When alcohol markers touch a self-healing mat then it leaves a stain forever which is not the case with the glass mat just because it's so slippery once you let it dry it's super easy to remove. I am going to apply a couple of colors here so you can see I'm going to bring in my towel which is going to easily remove the stains from the alcohol markers. Now if you find that some of the ink doesn't move then you can easily clean the surface with some isopropyl alcohol this will clean both ink stains as well as adhesive. And since we are testing things out I'm going to bring in some dye inks apply a few colors just to create a palette there and check out how easy they are to clean. And I can easily remove stains that are more persistent such as stazon ink for example. This doesn't come off with my towel so I'll just add a drop of my isopropyl alcohol or you can even use your stazon cleaner on top of your glass and just clean everything off. And the number one thing that I love about the class mat is that you can apply tape adhesive on top of it and it's real easy to remove. You can remove it with an adhesive eraser or again with your isopropyl alcohol. Another great thing is that you can apply your mediums directly on top of your surface I see if you were doing if you were working on top of the range craft mat so I have applied some embossing paste there and you can use your gesture on top you can use your acrylic paints on top you can see I'm working with my gelatos there again, work with it as a palette and they are all easy to clean even when they are dry. And another thing that I need to point out is that the grit that you see is not printed on top of the glass it's underneath the glass which means that no matter what you do or how hard you clean your surface it's never going to fade out. So you can easily scratch any bumps and things that you might have dried on top of your surface with a spatula just like I'm doing here. Don't worry it's going to clean the glass perfectly and it's not going to leave any scratches. And finally it takes heat beautifully which was not the case with my self healing mats so you can even emboss on top of it you can use your fuse tool on top of it and you can even use your heat gun and the truth is that the silicone is super easy to remove once it dries because it's such a slick surface. So I hope this review was helpful I tried to cover up as many things as I thought if you still have questions let me know below and I will answer them and I hope I have helped you a little bit to decide if a glass mat is for you or not. As always you will find links down below to this glass mat that I used as well as to different brands and sizes You can check out the prices in different online stores Thank you all so much for watching and I'll see you tomorrow with a fun event.
