 We're live He yells and didn't a little bit. No, not that much Okay That white one that I don't think it has stickers on it needs in that lucid case Let me turn this on so I can see what y'all are saying Now I can see. Hey guys So I hope you all had an immersing day This thing is about to die for what I'm gonna do it did for that commission key exactly ready to post So I'm going to just do Another one for you guys, and then I'll have that one ready to post tomorrow Hey guys so this is one of our rounds from our website and I just prepped it so far with just one layer of yes, oh and start attacking yet Which is one layer and we'll see how it goes Anything it'll be a test to see if one layer is enough to do alcoholings Hey guys, what's up? Still on my favorite names. Okay. I just handed it with a 400 grit And since we did just spray just so it was pretty smooth already This is just to knock down any high point From like if there was any dribbles or drips or whatever But yeah Hey guys, we've got Miss Sue my JJ Carrie Carol Fan So I'm using this is the This is a little dobby thing that I was telling you guys about that you can just get a Block of wood and staple some velcro to the front of it Because that's all they did and Then cut out some little felt circles make your own That is probably what I will do going forward is just cut out my own little felt circles Hey guys, hey guys. Oh, yeah, Linda. We're just we're going down to Florida. We're leaving tomorrow We're scouting out some places meeting with some Shop owners and people so that we can get a class together for Florida hopefully we won't Have any like super bad weather because we've been dealing With some bad weather here in Dallas. I don't know if y'all know this but like there's a crane that fell in the middle of town Yesterday Yeah, I think there was a tornado Was it just straight line wins But a crane fell in the middle of town took out a relatively new apartment building. I Think only one lady passed away But like it wrecked so much stuff Yeah, it was pretty bad But we're fine pups are fine Amanda's fine her babes are fine the pups fine I Do know a couple of people that live in that apartment complex and Amanda What did you say they had 48 hours to vacate the entire building? Yeah So that's fun All right, I'm using can't remember 99 91 91% isopropyl alcohol. I like the name Joe Baby poms are amazing, but they get into everything. I'm not even sure where mine is at the moment Oh he's in there out of the way, which is amazing and And Pujo is on the kitchen counter at present. All right, I'm just putting a little bit of alcohol down and If you guys haven't I'm gonna take you to show you The triptych that I did for a commission so I'm gonna walk real slow So that hopefully it doesn't get all sketchy if it does just give it a minute it'll catch up This is the floral tray I'm working on for my mom. I'm gonna give it to her for Father's Day These are flowers from my dad's memorial the bird of paradise and some of the roses some of the flowers that are in there are from Bouquet sent to me in condolences There's B He's packing There's Bowie beans and Amanda mini Here's Moo checking emails taking notes Everyone said hi B so in the Just three zones are the commit and then there's another one in There Man is working on orders for y'all new colors just came in So anyways, what I did on the triptych is going to be kind of what I'm doing In here What is moves official job title? senior mascot Sorry, that was way too zoomed in It's not letting me like Slow zoom. I know Holly we are already out of space So for the blue one I did a whole bunch of aqua colors and blue colors and For this one, I'm gonna do like magenta's and purples and pinks and I'm just gonna put this ring under here so that it creates kind of a Forward motion For these colors. What's that miss Montoya? How you been? Maybe that's too much upward motion Mike that was just alcohol so far that I put down Pretty sure my dad is on the class It's gonna use these Stems to give me some height on this side It's a little bit lower than That space that I have The blue round in piece. Um, it's I'm doing a recording of it. There will be one It's okay D So I'll have one up soon Carol. I'm time-lapsing it. So my process for this piece is mainly just Get color down and create a design And I did a lot of that with that stamper Even though it's I'm going to ruin every bit of this design that I'm putting in right now. I Still like doing it for some reason even though it's a giant waste of time for the end result Is what it is. I wish that electric orange color would stay that color It doesn't so I don't know what the official Dabber Function is I'm pretty sure it's to add color, but I use it to remove color or to create A spotty texture And just kind of use it like a stamp a little bit just to create a texture because the felt has A texture. I'm going to zoom you guys in a little bit. I actually think That's awesome kim I won't tell anybody that you're listening at work Colleen, um My colors tend to get muddy too, but I just Lately just dab them out With something like this And I don't use that many different colors. It's kind of like my um What's that other thing I do resin stuff? so I'm going to take one of my darker colors. This is deep red See how deep it is Hopefully this doesn't clash too much See what it looks like Now it's not a fan But I want a deep color Down here, so I'm going to put the deep red away so I don't accidentally use it I thank you Angela You can do it the lengths are kind of tricky at first, but they're definitely Learnable doable. I had no idea what I was doing when I first picked up alcohol inks And to a very large extent. I still don't think I know that much about them It's a medium. That's really fun to explore with Experiment with you will So before I forget I have to give a shout out to a couple people I met today at maker space Um, I walked in to make some stickers. Sorry. I have to get this out before I forget um You were done talking so I was like, okay, let me jump in Because I would have forgotten that too and This lady. Hello Clara Was working on a computer across from me and she was working on like a lip kiss print like like a lipstick print I believe for a heat transfer and I told her I said it's funny because I was going to come in here today and work on a lip print that I was experimenting with to make a sticker or cut out just to see if I did it right on the adobe and inkscape And she asked me what kind of art I did and I And she really wasn't paying attention like she was doing her thing I'm just kind of talking and we're in between these computers And I tell her, you know, this is what I do And I get to resin the very last and say we're doing a lot of resin right now and she turns around and says I need to talk to you because I'm doing poor stuff right now Like I'm doing acrylic and I'm and I don't know if I need to prep this wood or if I do it on mdf and I said Well, you can do that, you know You could prep mdf if you want you don't have to But you probably will because it's brown and unless you want a brown background blah blah blah And I gave her my card and she lost her mind She says I know who you are. I know who you guys are She said you guys are down on Lamar street in downtown. I said that's yeah, that's us. That's That's us and she's like I watch you guys. I've been watching hundreds of videos But I just started watching you guys and you guys are awesome and And so I told her about the class and she goes I was supposed to take the class But I was just busy and couldn't get to it and the husband was sitting there just like oh great Here we go And he was worried because she hadn't messed with Resin yet that he obviously was doing his research and figured out trial and error is expensive and this hobby is not a cheap hobby so Um, they're taking their time which is smart and so I was telling her that we're going to do a demo up here up here being at makers So, uh, I want to say hi to mr. Larry Because I asked them for their names and she said I'm tracy I I hope that's right. I'm pretty sure it's tracy and larry and he said mr. Larry. So I got to say mr. Larry Yeah, I texted to you so I wouldn't forget it because I'm super Tracy is here Where's tracy at you at tracy? Oh, that's a bone. It's his I checked in a second ago I love the texture of this mix this like speckledy Oh tracy is here Hello larry mr. Larry Get it right. Get it right. Get it right. Get it right I'm pretty sure that's not how that goes That's that's not a bad one B. Do you like it? Is it fun? So hi tracy and larry Ms. Bouvier says hi long time Dora says jeff y'all are even famous In home depot in one of our little towns in wisconsin That's mrs. Tracy Miss tracy mr. I don't I always get those better mixed up Just kind of stay in that area because you're kind of zoomed in close. So So in that commission piece, there's like a Swoosh in it and it was the most difficult part of the whole piece Oh I Share your art. I want to know how that goes Do they have any like tests on it's yellowing or stability Um, the fiberglass piece is going well. It's fairly rigid. I unmolded it And it's sitting in the window just to see what it'll do You could do is move the hoodies There and they're talking about merch So one that I just added is fuchsia rv zero nine. It's a copic marker refill The lighter pinky peachy color is Not that one or that one or that one it is Shell pink by ranger The deep one down here is wild Plum Yeah by ranger So I also use this 70% alcohol whites To pick up some of the water And give another if you like just wad it up a design element That's kind of a blender as well Or if I have to remove some of it Flowers Hi miss boobye Chris what how did it go tell me how it went? So a lot of times with my alcohol ink. I like to um Let it stain just a little bit and wipe it off just so that there's like a faded background Look and the pinks really stain Very well I find that my particular brand of alcohol ink is very much like pick up and redeposit Yeah blending solution does weird things with different colors. So unless it's like required to use with A certain color I just I don't even bother I still get it mixed up on which ones I should use alcohol ink or blending solution It is what it is though As long as the pieces are coming out. Okay You get a four foot round bar table strainer for your first piece You're a brave one Kim, I don't know if I'm ever gonna figure out the white, but I'm I think I'm gonna try to add some on this piece We'll see Wasn't really digging the flow of that But is enough left on there that it gives a hint for like a background Also, a lot of times I like to add a couple different colors into this like dauber thing So that it gives a little bit of dimension Need a little bit more of a dark color So I'm just adding some eggplant. That's a fun name Yeah, of course, I tried to find a good recipe. I think Jen came up with a good blending solution You lost the strainer Liz I find that a lot in my work too. The more I add The less I like it I think alcohol in sir. Definitely a less is more For sure I say that as I keep adding more and more color No resin can get Very ticky when it starts to set up What are my feelings on ranger in I like ranger. Um They're not the cheapest inks to use By far I think that um Feel like the uh zit inks are comparable And less expensive if I'm remembering right It's quite possible that I'm not remembering right That's not for bowie But this is And that's for billies there you go. Sorry y'all bowie just took off with Something he wasn't supposed to have This looks kind of like um Blue on it just out of here like a You said colored blue on it I'm gonna try to add a little bit lighter up here Kind of a background That went from lighter to not light at all You can zoom me out a little bit. How are you down bowie? You can probably make some really neat looking flowers with this tool I'm sure we could link you to the group. This looks definitely like random patterns And it most likely Definitely is What is this stamp called? It's a Mini applicator tool. It's by ranger You can absolutely make your own though all this. I don't really care. I just want it to have a hint of color For that blue one. I use probably a whole One of these alcohol wipes I haven't been on facebook a lot today to check on shy, but last center. She was doing good So it's interesting if I just use my 70 percent alcohol Wreck like one of these um It'll move the alcohol length, but it won't take it up And sometimes it just it only slightly fades it But if I obviously if I add some of the higher concentrated alcohol to it It completely removes it So I've kind of decided to use that to my advantage and that if I want to just fade a color I'll only Use the rag right out of container, but if I want to Completely remove it then I will put some 90 something proof down Now I'm just dabbing it trying to blend in to I'm gonna add some color. Um can india inks don't have any alcohol in them. They're water-based And alcohol lengths are alcohol-based India inks won't evaporate as quickly because they're water-based and it takes longer for Water to evaporate then it takes alcohol to evaporate It's so hard for me to like just trust the process of the alcohol lengths Because they do some amazing things on their own if you just leave them to do what they do But it's so difficult for me. I have to mess with it and fiddle and try to just make it do what I want it to do The struggle is real is what I'm saying. Hi everyone that just came in Probably One of the most difficult things for me to do in a piece is be okay with the flow of it For something that's so organic like it comes up with its own fluid Motion and direction. It's so difficult for me to just let it do what it naturally wants to do I always want to make it do What I want it to do and that's the only option Very much like how my life is with resin I think with resin I've gotten to learn what it's going to do so it's easier for me to just Let it go Let it go So Sean I'll tell you I sealed in the last that the last piece I did with this archival spray And it worked really really well and I poured resin over it. I'll show you guys at the end of the video What um the last AI piece looks like I showed you guys in the beginning of the video, but For all the people that just got in I'll show Keep in mind when you do coat it with resin or anything else that it's going to lighten up just a little bit It'll like deepen some colors and like your lighter colors It it doesn't fade per se, but it doesn't look the same So just keep that in mind when you're working with some light light colors What was the question Kim? But that's what I do to just kind of block in color I'm just taking this rag that I've used over here to just Blot in and fade out everything More of this eggplant and eschia. Thank you Kim By no means am I an AI or anything expert, but I definitely had a lot of fun Experimenting I think that's what it's all about and I I hope that I um inspire you guys to Think outside of the box and do things that aren't in your wheelhouse or comfort zone and That's kind of the whole point of doing the challenges every month Which I plan on participating because you guys have been doing some really great things and Judy really challenged you guys to um Do some awesome stuff and work with color palettes that I would never Choose because I get intimidated by certain colors We glitter things we throw lots of glitter at it too. There's no point in doing glitter unless you're using all of the glitter In my opinion I can tell already this is going to be one of those pieces where I'll like a certain area or a certain look and I'll just focus in on that and not pay attention to the Piece of the hole I can tell that that may be a thing for me on this Um, it depends on the masking fluid Which ones work best? Hey, kerry Chelsea, when you say do I have any more art classes? um Are you asking about different forms of artwork or any more? resin art classes coming up. I will seal it with the the archival spray before Putting resin on it interesting lisa I'll have to look that up when I do resin work I really don't have that much direction when I start and I just kind of see what it wants to do and then Take it from there Which is what's happening on this one Thank you, mike. It's very wonky to me though thinking about fading out this entire area Well that that right there is just very like you have so much Like it looks like it looks like you've done this first and then you're starting to do This over there like that like it's so you know what I mean? Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how I want to balance it like But more or move I would remove I think that's where I'm going with it Thank you Sorry you're going to the dentist mara. I hope it's not too bad I'm hauling some tile a spun We do those before shows A lot of times I'll just add alcohol ink and let it Sit and fade and do what it wants to do And then I'll try to incorporate that with whatever It's touching I think that's a good way to get a really organic look in your artwork Is to just let it do what it's going to do anyways You're not worried that's just going to dry up like that This yeah I would be It's just the best way that I've found to remove color Good night, joe. Thanks for joining Get some rest Bowie Trouble I'm sure Probably rinse them off And we use them a little bit. I don't see why not It's felt so just soak them in alcohol and that'll pull the color out In theory Fallings are definitely a lever of love. All things are saying that chris. I don't see why makeup sponges wouldn't work The stamp pad texture is just felt. It's just like I don't know if you guys can see this Or if I'm even in the frame I think you're still a little We can see it. Okay. I go from I love it till I hate it so quick I just have to rework some areas But the fun thing is is it gives a little hint of color So it's a good like background Deal I like what the big blob looks like. I'm just trying to figure out how to connect it and make it look Just do it do what we're doing just Kind of Oh Yeah, yeah, like no fade just really fade those They're talking to themselves. They're laughing at Mike Reed. I think I'm also going to add some gold to this but since I think gold doesn't like to hang out with The alcohol I'm gonna wait until I'm done with everything else to add. No White doesn't like alcohol, right? I also have to remind myself that it's gonna look different under resin If you have to go to bed, I understand carol Thank you, Lisa. Um, yeah, that was joseph glitter glass and I went ahead and linked it in my amazon description Down below you can find Um the amazon link and that'll have everything That we use on the channel that we don't have in our store Maybe I'll contact them and see if I can get like a bulk discount so I can sell that as well on the store for you guys This is what I did for the entire This is the commission It took hot minute It's worth it Oh, it's morning. I was right so The glitter glass is amazing. It really is Highly recommend it It's like it's really awesome because it's like a subtle sparkle. It's not like an abrasive glitter, which I love glitter But it's not like in your face. It's got to like catch the light just right and I'm thinking about doing some kind of like frozen scene With it somehow My process is kind of like add it with the dober and then take my alcohol rag and clean up the edges. Do you want me? The hoodie Yeah, we need to send that Don't hear I think we just need a better dryer Which one kim so there's zig ranger copic and Kelty, which I haven't used Any of yet on this piece. No, Kelty. Do I have any pinata alcohol? Oh, yeah I have the The white that I'm scared to use. I don't know. I don't like Any of what's happening right there? I mean, we'll just dab it out Change the viewpoint See if I can see something here See so I'm going to use copic fuchsia pinata magenta cranberry ranger paint sherbet Which one's claire? I love the energy of the two lines that are close to meeting But passing I guess these two I'm glad you said that because I almost just connected them. Let's try that on see how it goes Thanks, Mike. Those colors really look good together Hi, John. Wish I had something pointy to say about this process But it's literally you just put color down see how you like it At least for me. That's awesome. Clara I'm gonna curl in you I Sorry you guys her ipad just died so they're all just Literally just talking amongst themselves All right, this is just turned into a candid pour until Jeff The candid AI piece until he gets back over here We just opened those up the other day Can you see those comments almost here I'm gonna get A new pad This won't take long Shade it really well You'd think there'd be like a marble or something in there and make it Shake that better, but let me get a pad that you're about That's the work don't know what it's gonna do. I haven't done this yet So Let's do it in a small area Oh, I like it. I just wish it wasn't so like Round So I think my solution to that is gonna be This way can be more random We're gonna like this Now my only real thing is trying to not go overboard with the gold Which would be a very mean thing to do Also dabbing it with this alcohol rag Kind of incorporates it into the Pink it like lifts some of the pink up and deposits it over the gold So it doesn't look Like an afterthought I'll show you guys a close in a minute. I don't know how the light's catching Because I can't see what you guys can see. I can feel myself. I got to get extra with the gold I think it has settled already That was fun Thanks So Night vamp So this has to change Now that I'm seeing it in the camera Thank you Of course, I'm doing this without gloves on Really appreciate that Clara This is interesting being done with one hand And see if we can not mess this up. That'd be awesome I think I like that better So Yeah, I added some gold. I mean it looks great Thanks you guys Not there then there So I will be sealing this in with the UV archival matte spray from Krylon and then I'll do like two coats Do you charge more of this type of art since you could have done several resin pieces in this amount of time? Alcohol links are definitely more expensive because the materials are a lot So I will be sealing it in and Putting the glitter glass on it and some resin And probably like chunky glass I probably won't do that tonight because I want to do a couple coats of this stuff And I have yet to start packing and we're leaving at like 7 a.m. So that's that Um But I will do it and record it and I'll have it posted as a video for while we're on the road And welcome, uh, mr. Tracy and mr. Larry More Tracy welcome to the fam Welcome to the fam And then I have to also add one more coat to this Jenna added your rainbow roses since they were a part of The whole process Brought color to my gloomy days Um commission piece sure one second What are you guys doing? I almost made it Okay, I'm gonna try to go slow So that it doesn't get all splotchy But here's one of them We're delivering this one tomorrow You can really see the glitter glass Thanks, miss boobie So this is the Piece Let's go see the other two We get the lights the middle piece and the other end piece Is jen the friend that ordered the triptych she is not Jen could do this by herself. She doesn't need to order it for me I do not glue the glass on I um Just sprinkle it into the resin In case you're wondering this is what my shop looks like when you guys order It's another commission I have to finish when we get back Pink pop is in stock So yeah, I'm gonna add the glitter glass and the chunks of fire glass To this piece as well And probably some gold leaf Since I added that extra flare Um, I'm not gonna put another coat on those pieces over there the commission piece. They're They're done. They're setting I don't have time to add another coat anyways because I have to put them in the car in the morning. Hi, miss We ready to go outside or you go potty?
