 of the that robot slash dial up internet sound in the background is Jeffrey making merch. Didn't that sound a little bit dial up internet? Did I make that up? I could have made that up. Could be a thing. I don't know. Anyways, it's Monday and almost six o'clock. Therefore, I'm arty. That's you. That's you also. I've actually been arting all day because I'm trying to all flipping day because I want to have stuff that you guys can watch while we're out of town for my birthday. My birthday can you guys hear me okay? I made in case you didn't know it's gonna be my birthday. So I made this. Hey, cause, how are you doing? Pour yourself a glass. Don't even play with me right now. I already got one. I hope you guys are joining me in my adult sippy sippy. I also did cow print with some this over it. But I need to rework that a little bit. And this one is gonna be like a Lisa Frank zebra print. Miss you too, ma'am. I really want to come do acrylics. If you guys haven't checked out cause creation, she does some amazing and very unique acrylic pours. And she's a ceramicist, which I'm excited about because she does swimming like I do. Tudor put hello from the other side. You know how come? Because Tudor's right there. Tudor will do. Thank you. Jeff, I'll be asking you for help with my countertops. Shelly, we are always happy to help however we can. So today I'm gonna be using our super awesome these. Yes, are these. So this is a an acrylic coaster that we have put a hole into so that you can make it into an ornament. What's up, Jerry? Hello, Sue. Everyone. And so what you do is you peel one side of the plastic off. Nope. One side of the paper off and leave the other side on. And then once your piece is done drying or curing or whatever it is, you peel the backside off. You can see it's fully clear. I'm not gonna peel it all off because I really want to art on this side. And if I peel the back off as well, then I'm gonna get inks on the back and I won't do that. So, bam. Let's get art-ing. But first, sippy sippy. Happy birthday, Erica. What day is it? So my birthday is actually on the second but we're leaving to go on vacation on the first for my birthday. Rhonda's going, Claire's going, Tudor's going, Jeff's going, Kenny's going, Mikey's going, Vamp was going but she is not well. But anyways, there's more people going. Oh yeah. So yeah, my birthday is on the second and we're leaving on the first to do. Birthday, shenan's. Very excited. So let's start art-ing. I'm gonna use alcohol inks to do this. I'm gonna go ahead and tell you guys what inks I'm using so that I don't forget as I go because I will just start grabbing colors and not tell you guys what I'm using. So I'm using Ranger Mermaid, Ranger Ember, Blick Studio Magnetta or Magenta, Blick Studio Violet, Copic Fuchsia, Copic Duck Blue, which I still understand why that is. Ranger Limeade and something. Spectrum Noir, Ly1 because they're very original. I'll celebrate from my couch. We will miss you, Vamp. You know, Kathleen's super great. She also lives in a no bra zone because it's great. I'm so glad I'm not alone. It's on her like marketing collateral because it's a legit mindset. I would show you but can't. I'm also going to be using some opal on on the back. So what I'm planning on doing is doing alcohol ink on this side, letting it dry, which doesn't take long because alcohol ink peeling the back, adding some Mod Podge and some oak lawn. And that will make our this super dimensional. So let's get started. I'm going to use some 91% isopropyl alcohol to help my inks flow. I usually have it in a squirt bottle that makes it a little bit easier but because reasons, that's not possible for me to. It's got too much going on in my shop right now, which is fine. Okay, so I always just swirl around my alcohol before I drop my ink in here. Let's use, okay, for a second. I thought I wasn't going to get you're in that zone too. Well, then we're super not alone, which is awesome. Can you tell how off my table is? It's impossible not to tell. You have to wear one in public. Well, I just don't really go out in public much. But not because for raw, but it's because I do a lot of work here in the shop because I'm just swirling it around to get some movement. Then I'm going to take my heat gun on low heat and medium air flow and help my, whoops, all right, well we're just going to be down here. I'm just going to help my inks evaporate. Nope, I'm going to help the alcohol evaporate. And this is going to set my inks wherever they are when it evaporates. But I want to drop another bit of the blue in there. The more ink you add, the darker your piece will be. So when you do alcohol inks, try not to do too much. Ink? I use way more alcohol than I do the actual inks. And I know it doesn't look cute right now. I'm going to like fast forward this one and just rush through it really quickly so you can see what the objective is. I think I want to do some something. Sorry, I lose track as I'm speaking sometimes. You made me ink. True. Okay, so this is what it looks like thus far. Doesn't look like much. Hi Fiona, I know YouTube's horrible about sending notifications out, but no it's not our fault. YouTube one day will get it together and send everybody that's subscribed for notifications to get notified. So this is what actually looks like. So you can't really see it when I'm holding it out because there's a whole bunch going on, but on a white background you can see what we got going on. And you can see that it will, can you? I don't know if you can. Nope, because oh I guess you can from there. It projects, you can see out right here the color. Where's more blue showed up? Anyways, that right there is a reflection of what we got going on on the surface. So you basically can make like stained glass this way. So next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to spray seal this. To do that I'm going to use a UV archival spray. This one's by Krylon. Make sure if you do this to use matte because anything else will reactivate your ink and that won't be good. Also if you use anything other than air, wear a respirator. So resin, alcohol ink, sanding, aerosols, take care of your health. I'm not wearing one because you guys won't be able to hear me. So do that thing I was like cool. Okay because it's clear I've forgotten what side I inked on. That's a weird thing to say. I forgot what side I inked on. One coat should do it. I'm just going to dry it with my heat gun. This actually is a really cool thing because then because it's matte it's going to look frosted. And to bring the shine back just use a resin or after you do a couple layers of the matte you can put a gloss spray paint over it. So now it looks like frosted and matte instead of high gloss. So now that this is dry it doesn't take long. I'm going to flip it over. This is the gloss side. You can just leave it like this and have options. I'm going to experiment. I haven't done this before so roll with me here. Hello. Love seeing all you Sam here. Make some heart happy. I'm going to use Gloss Bluster Mod Podge. It doesn't take a lot. I mean I guess you could use a matte Mod Podge. Put it in your memory bank. I'm so excited for my birthday you guys. We don't really buy each other gifts. We just go on trips because of life experiences and I'm super pumped. Apparently Jeff just informed me I'm also getting a gift. So pumped about that as well. Okay so now we have a thin layer of Mod Podge. Mod Podge is kind of like it's essentially a blue and it dries pretty fast. I'm going to use some Oakland which is my rainbow glitter. Looks like this. It's actually a glitter powder and it is hella fine. It's not even like picking up on the camera because it's so super sparkly and I have a clean camera. It's not wanting to pick up Oakland but that's fine. I'll waste it because glitter powders are expensive. What? This sir. I don't know if you're laughing at me or you. Hoping it would shine through. So I thought it would shine through but oh actually it will once the Mod Podge dries. So we're just going to set this one aside. How crazy that glitter is. So I'm going to set this aside and once it dries you'll be able to see through because it's white when it goes on but it's clear when it dries. So set that aside and we're going to do another one. Okay. Can you also use holographic transfer paper? Absolutely. If you want to do transfer paper let's do a transfer paper. In a momento. Transfer paper. Okay. Have you? Transfer paper. You want to show everybody? They want to see it. How old are you? Uh ask me about number. I can't see it though. Okay. Let's just grab a foil. Okay. Let me show them. I can't. Hold on. I'm the birthday shot by me a girl. Because reasons. These are all my foils. I have quite a few. Let's just pick one. This one looks holographic-y. These foils are actually from these people. APS. Wait for it. Artistic Painting Studio. It's not going to come in focus. There it is. ArtisticPaintingStudio.com. You can use my code which is down in the description box which is either ATD or ATD 2022 and get our super rad discount. Okay. So to do foils. I can't get it open again. Sizing or foil adhesive from APS but you you can use the bottle with a lady on it. I think one shot has a sizing. I can't remember. There's a lot of people that make sizing. This one is actually a long open time sizing so I like it a lot because I do large pieces and large pieces. I mean obviously I do small pieces too. I'm doing one right now. But for a large piece it's really good to have a long open time. So right now it's got a white hue to it. I don't know if you get well. There you go. It looks white and then once it's ready to go it'll be clear. So I'm going to set that aside. Let it. Actually should I do a couple? Let's do a couple. I'm gonna do a few different kinds of foil. So we're gonna do a few different kind of foils. Hey Joe. How are you doing? A lovely famine here makes my heart happy to see you guys. Sorry your schedule's been a little bit off lately. We have been super busy doing 72. 72 I think is. Thank you for reminding people Sue that you're here watching. So why not leave me your thumbs up or down good or bad. I would love to have your thumbs because it helps engagement for my channel and helps me to come up in the YouTube algorithms. The more you engage the higher we populate in surges. So that means share my videos, comment. It doesn't cost anything to comment or share or like a video. So why not just do it. Hurray! Okay last one that I'm going to do foil and then we will move on to another way that I really like doing ornaments which actually originated from when I'm going to do some more ornaments that are like the ornament balls with the primary elements. You can also use TLP if you want to. I'm pretty sure. I've done airbrush all my life. That's like the perfect price. Boys are you arguing? Yeah. We just bought like 24 of these. Can you guys hear that? One color. That's this. Because I use sizing and that's sizing's job. I'm going to show you guys how I did the Take Care of Ant Rustwell. I'm going to show you guys how I did that. The leopard print finish that I just did. I actually have Sorry you guys. I am listening to Jeff and Tudor shenanigans. I know I shouldn't. So I did do a video on the tumbler but I just want to show you guys a real quick that process. It's not hard and it's easier than you think. That looks awesome. I am going to carry the new SCC epoxy. They just released it for stock list and so I'll be able to get my hands on it super soon. I did just get a whole bunch of ocean coat in stock. You guys have been stone coat countertops? But what kind of epoxy is it? Oh it's the new you know this. The new epoxy is a two hour. It's like quick coat and art coat had a baby. So it cures in two hours and also it's UV resistant light art coat. So if you're experienced then do we get it? Well it's on order and sometimes it takes a little time to get orders in lately. What are you gonna do on there? I'm gonna show them how I did the the leopard. Such a pro-fesh babe. I'm very pro-fesh. I know the new resin is gonna be really awesome. We have it on order so I expect it within the next two weeks. We did get ocean coat in so if you've been looking for ocean coat we got it now. I'm just drawing the mod pod. You can let it dry in a natural but impatient and also we're live. Oh hi me bop bop. You guys can't see him but he is right next to me looking super precious. Okay so once your mod pod is dry which shouldn't take long I am putting over it another coat of mod podge but this is mod podge water mix. It may actually be more water than mod. I'm not sure I can't remember. Yes you heard me. I'm gonna dry this down. Actually no I'm not. I'm gonna let this dry naturally and while that's happening I'm gonna start putting foils down. So you can see that this is clear now. There's no white anymore but it is not not ready to go. Nope not quite yet. Actually I'm gonna do another layer of that stuff. What's up MCATs? Can you tell us more about ocean coat? So ocean coat is by it's by just resin. It I don't know the science that's in it but it I have a couple videos on it. It makes cells like on its own super easy. You do have to put a thick layer of ocean coat down. It does have it can't be thin for it to do its magic but once it's down and does what it's going to do it's kind of awesome. If you guys remind me at the end of the video I'll go get the piece that I did. The ocean coat one? No it's it's just the one that's like cells on cells on cells. I think it's on the floor. Is it for sales? It's always everything's for sales. Everything in my shop has a price tag on it. It's a circle. It's uh it's in the hall somewhere. You guys see how it's still a little white. I didn't anticipate doing another coat but better safe than sorry. Unless you're okay with not full coverage if you like kind of a sketchy pattern which is also cool and also pay attention to your brush strokes. You can see these lines. Those will show up in the final piece. I'm okay with it because anything abnormal I find beautiful so I'm just gonna leave I'm gonna leave it. I'm gonna have to change my gloves because they are sticky with this juncture. That is not the piece. That's not it. Uh it's not an ocean actually. It's just a whole bunch of blues. Yeah here's the download. I get you need a warehouse. Dude. Like you have no idea. Where's my Vino? Vino? Vino. Vino. Right there. Probably covered it up. You're always missing lies. She's not like oh my god. No worries. So when your um medium is dry it should be like this. Not your medium you're sizing. It should be this sticky. Like it's taken me a bit to pull those fingers apart. Why did that sound so weird to say? It was gonna do. So if you have some micas at home this is a fun way to do coaster or ornaments. I have some gum arabic. So first things first. I need to get some mod podge. I'm just gonna use this watered down mod podge and in the round ornaments the ornament balls that we use you want to swirl in your medium and then let it drain out because the way your ornaments set if it was in a ball shape um your medium will droop and that's not going to be attractive. So I just put a thin layer of the medium down. Hey Clara. And now I'm going to put some this on there. This is a gum arabic. You can get it on Amazon. I believe I have some links on my Amazon. Yes if you're buying stuff on Amazon prime days and black friday and what's today? Monday? Cyber Monday? Click my link in the the description box to get to amazon and it'll help me out. Anyone cost you a thing? So just sprinkle some gum arabic on. I wish I could tell you the science behind what this is but it just marbles your colors a little bit and it's super fun. So now that that's on there making sure my medium hasn't dried up which is going too really fast because it was watered down. I haven't done this on a flat surface so I'm kind of nervous. I have needed to put more medium down. I'm pretty sure I needed to put more down. Let's put a little bit of this down. So the color I just use is called something Laguna Azul. It's primary elements and this one is called Shambord. It's also primary elements. I don't carry primary elements. I don't have the space. So you just sprinkle your these on there. You can use just Micas. They do a little bit different things but it'll still turn out pretty great. I think I'm going to put more that I didn't put enough medium down so I don't know what this is going to do but I'm just going to drip some on. Oh my goodness this may have been a horrible idea but also maybe not. Maybe it's going to make something really neat. So I'm going to just continue to dribble. Oh my goodness wouldn't it be cool if we made out something new like right here in front of you guys? The moth patch supposed to be foamy. It's foamy but I don't know why. So I'm going to set this aside and let this dry. Oh my goodness what if we come up with something absolutely new. That's my favorite thing did you? Okay I'm going to do another alcohol ink one while my last couple of those are drying and then we will do everything that we just prepped. What do I have here? Yellow. Love a yellow. I know happy accidents are the best. Phone happens when the sponges learn something new every day. Okay that's arguably way too much ink but okay okay now we've got mica in our ink. Don't know what that's going to do but also maybe something cool. It's just going to sit on the surface because it's not alcohol soluble it's acrylic so it's only water soluble. Now let's check out the pieces that we already have done. So this one's basically finished drying. I'm just going to hit it with a little bit more air to make sure. So it was white and now it is clear. We're going to take our this and I'm going to cut it down so I don't waste a bunch of it which is very likely in my current state of mess. I wish I could tell you which foil this is but if you go to Artistic Painting Studio I'm sure there's names of all of them. Okay so I'm going to lay it on my surface and then I'm going to find something. I'm going to find a something. Excuse me Billy. Something is another coaster. Just want to make sure that everything's in full contact. Oh no I need a brush. Where's that brush that TG sent me? That this is the best thing to use to get every bit of your foil stuck down fully. I thought something this abrasive would rip my foil but no. Can you guys see the so those brush stroke lines are from my application of the adhesive not from what I just did. So what what it's like it's perfect. B what do you think about my this? Like me? I'm from the 80s. So just to show you guys what it looks like on the back I'm going to peel part of it off but I'm going to put it back on so that I can coat it in resin. So the back looks fun as well. I'm going to put that back though because I'm going to coat these in resin later and that will I took that off. So cheers everyone. That one turned out really good. Boop tink. This with Mod Podjana is almost dry. It is not quite as you can see from it coming up. Let's do this one. Let go give up. Let's dry this bad boy first. So you can see there's a little bit of a whiteness to it. Is that the foil Tammy Anderson uses? Same stuff. I'm pretty sure she's an affiliate too but I am not sure. So if it's still white like that then it's not ready. I just need to heat it just a little bit. You don't want to add too much heat because then it'll dry it out completely. Light thicker is going to take longer for it to dry but dry is not the best word to use because it's not drying. It's just tacky-ing which probably also is not the best word to use. Too difficult. You can't borrow your hand. Will you pull that one corner? What is that? I am not selling the foil but I am an affiliate and if you use my link or my code that's down in the description box then I do get a small kickback just for referral and yeah I wish I could sell these foils. I don't think I have the room to carry them and I don't know if she has people sell foils for her. So we're going to really get in there because see these little air pockets from where obviously air is in there. You can deal with these two aids. You can either scrub the devil out of it like I was just doing or you can poke a little hole in it with an exacto. Be careful. Don't cut yourself. You've been warned and then just get after it at that point and it should go down easily. So I'm just gonna poke all those sticky uppies. Sticky uppies is a technical term. TM. No did I wait not long enough? Okay good. This almost looks like it's like camo. Nope. Camel meets Damascus meets Cheetah. What's up to? Oh well thank you. How is vamp? She um she's gonna make it. She's like cats. She's like two cats. She's like two cats. She's not like a cat. She is like 18 lives. We'll do a black one. You got military front one. I was looking I thought that was that. Not yet. It's here somewhere. So let's do this next one that will be in vamp's honor. There's a little bit of white on it so we're drying it out. Can you do that on a shoe? Can you do on a shoe? That's it. Um yeah. I don't see why not. You would just have to seal it with something so that it doesn't get scuffed. You'll probably seal it with like matte spray. Matte spray or UV resin would probably seal it in. Everything. You own everything. You'll love using these foils. You'll wreck everything. Why are you guys coming out like that? She's just under the weather. Oh I thought this was a something but it's just black. I don't know. But I have a design to it. I have a black with a design. There's a silver cheetah. Okay new plan until I find that foil. I feel like I'm flipping through wrapping paper. Full disclosure I have more foils and art supplies than wrapping papers. So this is like a cheetah print but silver. Let's pop these sticky uppies. It's a technical term in some circles like my circles. Pop them off. I think the reason why you want to pop those or just make sure you push them down all the way is because if you don't then the foil won't come into contact with your substrate in those areas and leave it bare. And that's not a good look. Okay here we go. Mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy mama and a truth. Oh my goodness anytime it takes a little bit to pull from the sides I'm like I know I know I didn't let it dry long enough. Oh okay. No okay no. I'm gonna go ahead and take the back off of this one. Yeah the paper is still sticky so I did not let that one dry enough. So I'm gonna let those other ones dry a little bit longer. So then I would put resin on one side and then just resin the other. So now you have silver. It's got it's sketchy a little bit because didn't let it dry enough. I just got word that my phone is at like 10 percent. Nope 20 percent. So I'm gonna do one of these. I'm gonna show you how I did my what's that called Cheetah. No leopard. Okay I'm using a dark brown. This one is by somebody weigh-in. So you can see that it's all dry now. Nothing's really coming up. Well a little bit's coming up but that's okay. So thunderstorms you be careful. Okay so I'm just gonna do splotches of cheetah. I didn't know for a long time that you could just color your inks like this. You can just I mean color your glitter by just dropping inks onto it. Isn't that handy? Handy, dirty? No. You are a professional cheetah. Do three dots to make a circle. That was always like cute. It's hard to do three dots because it keeps like spreading. What is about to beat up his dad? Yeah. Do I start with brown? Yeah. Apparently just going to here. Watch Wednesday yet? No. I didn't like that. I'm gonna trade in. Is that cheetah? Yeah. Brown. What animal was disqualified from the race? Cheetah because they cheat in. So now I'm adding a black on the outside edge just to give some depth and also sometimes the browns just kind of blend in. If you do basically a knot connecting circle that's just odd shaped that is cheetah slash leopard print in my brain. I have a way better tutorial on this coming out for you guys on my tumblr video. So if you have friends that like cheetah print like I have a friend that's like super into cheetah print. I don't know if you guys know her. Her name's Rhonda Druhulist, the coolest. Cheetah print is like her middle name. Then I'm going to use some ember. Judy got me a palette but it's over there. So I'm just using this upturn cup. Ember with a couple drops of sienna both by ranger. I'm trying to wash out the black that I have in that now. Putting a couple drops of alcohol will make your alcohol lengths last a little bit longer. Spread a little bit and fade out your color if it's a little bit too abrasive. Like this orange center went a little bit crazy but that's okay. I think it still looks good. A little S-T-U would be a lot cuter without this big Mamma Jamma that is in a center from that spillover but anyways I'm gonna do another Mod Podge over this once this is dry and then coat it in resin and it's good to go. Now this craziness is almost still moving. Air's not going to help that one. It didn't. The um something I'm just gonna leopard this died since I can. I thought this would come through but it didn't. I'm pretty sure it's because of the matte spray. Sad face. You talking to? Where was it? I don't know. I'm just gonna do a cheetah pattern on this. When you do cheetah print make sure you're alternating how your spots open. That'll make a difference in okay Billy and in the size of your spots. Can you get down Bubba? You can get down. You can go. Wednesday's dad was a bit over the top even for him. A bit overall I thought was an enjoyable show. Many things did not add up accurately. Um agreed Mandy. There was stuff that in terms of continuity didn't make sense but overall I liked it. You guys hear my vicious baby lion? I just didn't like the casting for Gomez actually. Yay cheetah. Yeah put gloss on it. Should work as well. I know. I like it against the alcohol ink as well. I think it I think it works. Oh I'm BAM. Look at my Lisa Frankness. I did it on this side because I loved it. But because it's clear. But how? How'd it go? Okay this is my new favorite. It's slumberland yet. This left. Somebody pick a color while I dry this for an extra long amount of time. Right. Very Lisa Frank. What's up Jenny? How are you doing? How did those pieces turn out? Chameleon? Well I already have an adhesive on it so it would have to be chameleon um foil purple purple blue foil. I would but it already has an adhesive on it so I can't do inks or powders chameleon foil which has purple in it. And I'm actually going to give this a texture. Some are good and some will have to talk. Oh no because I'm sticky it came off a little bit that's fine. It'll just have some breaks in it but that's okay. All right scrubby brush there. When will you be restocking your store? I have um okay so I have brands, companies, pigments on order that are on rotation every two weeks and sometimes it does take a little bit of time to get here. Sometimes it takes the company a little bit of time to fill the order but usually every two weeks on rotation so roughly every 10 days I have a shipment come in of different brands. Next one I'm expecting is just resin. I have just resin color passion and color obsession on order. Actually the next one should be color obsession. It'll be a toss up between color obsession and just resin. I need to put an order in for lures and resin art but what color are you looking for because I may be able to color match for you. I'm out of all the good colors. I did get a just resin shipment in. It was mostly resin but this is going to be really nice looking. It's mostly resin but I did get some colors in. If you would like um you guys think I should spray the back of this gold or black teal. What brand of teal? Black? Okay two seconds. So there you go green purple and blue chameleon foil on black. Open up a can of worms huh. Just to cover those. Less than beautiful. Later glass would be cool. Later glass would be cool. So there you guys have it. Let me give you a flyover of the pieces we did to Der. So we did this chameleon sorry for all that motion. Purple, blue, green. We did this. Not sure what to call it. Pam um just resin bright gold I have in stock which is one of my favorite gold pastes and um I have a teal powder by color obsession in stock and also I think I have a just resin teal. Oh you did get one of those puffer things Ginny. A teal paste. I have a teal paste from just resin I think. Do I have those in stock? This is my favorite one by far. This I feel like will look cool but I'm gonna let it it's still goopy so I'm gonna let it do its thing and we'll revisit that one. This one has those chunks of mica in it that um I don't know. So before my phone dies let me just see if I have that teal for you miss Pam. Yeah I have just resin teal paste. It looks like this and by just resin. The puffer thing she's talking about is what we used to do our countertop at Dasma Bobo Art Co. This is the base of it but it has like a pout a pout a spout that comes out of the top of it that I'm apparently washing and so um you put a mica in it I had a chameleon in here and it's just got like a little and then you go like this and it puffs it puffs um mica because you know sometimes I say use your face to like blow mica over the top um she was getting into stuff I was gonna show you what she looks like when she's playing. I don't know where my other puffer thing is but I believe I have it in my description box below this video. Anyways I hope you guys have an awesome evening we will be here tomorrow but it will probably be our last live and then after that we'll be posting pre-recorded videos during my birthday vacation I obviously still haven't packed but yeah um till then be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through. So Bowie doesn't have to. Booboo you don't have to because you're precious you're my biggest boy. Anyways we'll see you guys tomorrow till then yeah we'll see you in the next video bye. She's playing with my washi tape. Look Bowie's just going to go take it from her. You thieving little puppy. Casey that bobo? Casey come here can you drop it? Casey can you see? Can I see? Bowie hey let me see drop it drop it thank you.
