 Well, probably not a whole lot of y'all in here yet, but soon, anyway, we're back, we're in the studio, it is here, while we've been out of town, we're gonna try to do, I can see what you're saying, let's make sure you can see what I'm doing. So, hey guys, hey guys, hey guys, so today I'm gonna try to do an out call for a, this is a IKEA, but we got to see friends and family and meet new people and it was amazing, so glad we did it. Can you guys see me, okay? What's up, Rizzo? Can y'all see and hear me and stuff, okay? Hold on, buffering, okay, hold on, I'm connecting to the wifi. Is it better? Is it better? Hi! Is it still choppy? It is still choppy. Let's see. Much better, okay good. Go play a little game. Here, here's a cup. Oh, Bowie, what is this? Is it a cup? It is. I will, I will absolutely zoom in some. Absolutely. Hey guys, so there we go. Wonder if I can bring this over here, so maybe it'll be more like first person-y. Can see what I'm doing and what you're doing and everyone's doing. Is it better? Oh, we missed you guys too. The fam is amazing. It was really good to catch up with everybody. I miss them so much. Anyways, let's get on to the show. So, I'm going to do an alcohol ink and resin and... Oh, it was on sale for $9.99, that's even better. Alcohol ink, resin, and glass. Peace. It's Mama Bear. Is it buffering really bad? Thanks for tuning in, smiley girl. So, thanks Clara. Pinata sent me a few colors to try out for you guys since they've been watching some of my videos recently. So that's super awesome. So, I have, they sent me coral, pink, blue violet, teals, rich gold, silver, black, and golden yellow. I don't know when I will ever use golden yellow, but maybe I'll do like a fall color piece. I don't know. So I do want to try this teal. These are from Jakard, their Pinata colored alcohol inks. I didn't pay for these. They were sent to me. This is not a paid channel thing. It's just they sent these to me, so I'm going to use them. Because... Why wouldn't I use them? Hi, Bowie. You can't come up here. Okay, yes you can. Come here. So I have a Bowie on one hand. Thanks Donna. I've used them before and they were great, but I haven't used them in a little bit. And these are brand new. So I know and aren't these like awesome sizes? These are half ounce or 14.79 milliliters. It has all the regular warning labels and everything. Here's some more things. It was usually entertained with a cup for a little while. I don't know. So let's open it. Ooh, I like it already just from the splatter. I'm also using this Tim Holtz Dabber thing that they sent me. Nope, I bought this. I bought the Tim Holtz Dabber. You can make one for yourself if you wanted to though. It's just a piece of felt stapled to a wooden block with... No, Velcro stapled to a wooden block with a circular piece of felt on it. Bowie, go play. And I for somehow got purple splashes on it already. So I'm going to cover that up a little bit. I've never used ink on enamel before. So we'll see how it works. Looks like it's going to work just like... Sorry, I'm trying to get you guys a better zoom in. There's a fly in here and it is driving me bonkers. Bright green as well. I can't do that all the time. I think these came from either Ikea... I know it, Bowie. Okay, come here. These came from either Ikea or maybe Hobby Lobby. That doesn't even look like a light blue. That looks like the same... Oh, I guess that looks better. I love that break and I don't even know what to call it. Just that felt texture when it splays out. Mary, I'm not going to use any blending solution and I probably will limit the amount of alcohol I use as well because I want to keep that this interesting texture. I'll zoom in in a second and show you guys the texture I'm talking about. If I use anything, it'll probably be 100% alcohol. Design up onto the edge of this piece a little bit. I just decided because why not utilize that if you have an edge. I just think that would be visually interesting. I'm going to use some of this Piñata Blanco Blanco White. Apparently you have to mix it up a whole lot and you can't use it with something. Either alcohol or blending solution you're not supposed to use it with. Which one is it? I can't remember. Yeah, the Dahver is made, I guess. It's from Tim Holtz who does basically only inks, I think. I did not put any alcohol down first. It's just the inks. And this is Zig Light Green. I'm just going to add it to the same Dahver I've been using. I'm really finding the need for what I do to change out the felt pad really until I change colors completely. This one is not a canvas board. This is a poured enamel tray. Just so you guys can see that I pulled the design up onto the wall. So I do want to put some white on it. So I'm going to pull out a completely new Dahver and just do white. You just switch out the pads. You buy a bunch of these little felt pads or you can just cut your own out of a sheet of felt. He's just being adorable. This is light blue from Copic. What's up everybody? Howdy. How's everybody doing today? Jeff's here. Nothing you can see me. Probably not. No, I haven't really zoomed in. Everyone said what's up, Jeff. Oh, you can clean them with soap and water and let them dry. So cool. I guess I'm making something of a wave. I just want blue in here, but the green's really coming out. Well, here's my white Dahver. This is going to be a rough example of a wave, I guess. Very rough. I'm going to put some dark blue in there. This is turquoise. You know we should use this blue violet. I bet that's pretty. Thanks. We do a lot of those flare lips like, oops, on the side. I guess we should post more videos of those lips though. People really like them and they're a lot of fun to do. Need more light fillers. Put some of this turquoise in there. It's gotten a lot darker than I intended at first, but it's okay too. I wonder if I put white on it again. Apparently I am going for all the blues today. Oh yeah. Smiley's girl, if you send an email, either I have or Amanda has inserted it or she's flagged it for me to look at. I need to do this with more of an alcohol rag. Could be a mermaid tail. Y'all, I just have to show you how quick. Not the humans sleeping on the couch, but Lil' Bowie watching. Just being adorable. And then Kujo's up there. Anyways, back to the art. I'm going to dab it with this. This is a 70% alcohol white. No sir. Lil' Bowie, you're okay. You're okay. Being pitiful. Robin, was it a just resin shimmer? So I put a little bit of my 90-something proof alcohol on this 70% rag, just so that I can blend that in just a little bit or try to. I think I'm going to add some splatters as well. Thank you, Scarlett. We had an amazing time on our trip. Definitely a learning experience. It's way harder to find a suitable venue than I thought it would be. We're not giving up. We'll find something that'll work. Let's take some of this light blue. You don't even have to buy those expensive, well, and they're not that expensive, felt-dabbers. You can just use really anything that'll hold on to ink and use it to apply. The cobalt blue shimmer was solid. I haven't had that problem with cobalt. Try giving it a warm water bath that should reactivate everything. If it doesn't, just shoot me an email. Let me know and we'll replace it and figure it out. So this color is depth blue. It is by Copic. Now anything was labeled depth blue. Shoot me an email so I don't forget and we'll get that replaced and fixed up for you. Okay, I'll move it. I'll move it. Good call. Thank you, Bowie. Thank you. I know it. He wants up. Then he wants down. Then he wants up. Then he wants down. Now it said depth blue. It was in the bird. I have never done a wave before, so this is very challenging. Yes, it is on a serving tray. The main problem is the white keeps fading in and blending into the rest of it. Like if the rest was dry, the white would just reactivate it because it does have alcohol in it. That's my immediate thought about it, but I could be way wrong and we can definitely try hitting it with some heat first and seeing if that makes a difference. And hit it with some heat and it should come off more easily. I think it needs more light blue. I feel like this one. Oh yeah, it's Claire's birthday. I hope you're doing something amazing, which I know you are because you're always doing amazing things. I'm trying to add the ink in these little fold areas so that it gives a different kind of texture and theory anyway. Well, Claire, that sounds like a win of a day if I ever heard one. I also want to do some splatters of color. I'm going to need a pink brush that I don't hear if it's spoiled. So I always keep some either really wrecked or cheap pink brushes on hand. I just put some alcohol on this one. I don't want to do that yet. I want to heat it up first. You know what I should have done is done a light blue over the whole thing so it doesn't look quite so disconnected. So I think I'm going to just do that real quick. I'm just going to use this rose ocean-y to connect those bits a little bit. This is 90-something percent alcohol, so I'm going to have some immediate impact because it's a dry concentration. I should have done that in the beginning, but it is what it is. In fact, I might just go ahead and put some alcohol in it and switch it around because this seems kind of disconnected. I need to bring that out. Now it's just all over. Out directionally so I can get some that doesn't sound good dark lines that make everything look great and like it was an alcohol and teeth. I should have done this to begin with, so if you try this, do this first. This will also give something for the white if you do this for the white break of your waves to stand out again because if you're on a white background, you're not going to really see it anyway. Let's just check. It has a sail tag on it. Project 62 Trey from India. Oh, it says by Target Corp. So it was... I got it from Target. Now it's completely dry because I hit it with a heat gun. I'm going to bring this up a little bit. I'm not going to add any more paint to it because I want it to be like that speckledy, spotted look like that overspray. If Bowie being needy, he's definitely used to being the center of all of the attention. So I'm just using the corner of this little dober tool to add some wave crash striations. See you later, Mike. Let's dry that and then see about adding the white. I am going to resin over it. Let's get a new dober pad. Don't have any contamination. Since this does not have a little squirty cap thing, I'm just going to pour a little bit on there. I might switch over to where my alcohol rags because I don't really want to get a round mark. I just want some splash, you know? I think just spend a little bit of time at the beach. You think that I wouldn't know what a wave looks like. I don't think I really do. I can't really even see the white, but still not mad at it. Chris, I cast on the inside. Continuously. Well, thank you Scarlett. Time for a sippy. Bowie had a blast at the beach. She wasn't sure what was going on, but he was there. I don't know what will happen if I try to use paintbrush, but I just got my answer of don't use alcohol with white use blending brush. Some reason alcohol curdles, even though it's alcohol ink, and why wouldn't alcohol work for alcohol ink? But it doesn't. I'm just chopping some white in there. Using a stone coat term. Chopping it in. Everybody loves seeing Bowie at the beach. All right. I don't know how good this is going to look once we put resin on it, but we're going to find out together. But first, I want to create some splashes of color. Then let's do some light later. You can also use a toothbrush to do this if you have one handy and that you want to make into no longer usable toothbrush. I think it is time to resin. It's got to dry this. Let's see, okay? Bubbles out here. I don't know if you guys can see those. So I'm going to seal it in with it is UV archival varnish. I had no idea about this until Scarlett and Jen told me, but this is a better varnish for my stuff than Jamar varnish. Once you have it all shook up, just give it a really good coat. This does two things. It protects even further your piece from fading over time. It also helps to seal in your alcohol and protect them from the resin, which sometimes has a tendency to kind of reactivate the resin. There's that. So let's put these caps on before I spill anything else. Should I put any gold in it or what do you all think? What's he playing with? Oh yeah, any berry stuff. No, not even under. Always being a complete clown over here outside the camera. I'm going to resin it in just a second. Let's add just a little bit of gold because this one is rich gold by Jacquard. I might be able to add another layer for white highlights. Thank you whisper. Thank you resin renewable. So when you use any of the gold make sure you shake it until it's almost annoyingly shook because it's going to separate it's kind of like when you don't use your ketchup for a little while and then you go to use it without shaking it and then you get that like you know what to call it film or peanut butter the parts of the piece are set and parts are not so it was holding onto my felt so I need to dry up more ketchup water. So this will go matte once the archival varnish has set and it's ready for resin I'm just like lightly tapping because I just want a hint of the gold shimmer in this it gives a more random texture than if I use the dauber you can see the difference but I'm holding it upright so this is this rainbow look is where the dauber was and then this pattern down here is from right where am I there it is so that is from the dauber and then this is from just folding up an alcohol rag. I'm going to try to add a little bit more white as well. We're not in Jacksonville anymore we are back home we're going to try to go down to Tampa maybe it's going to be a couple weeks so it's not really doing much with the under layer which is awesome because that means I can like seal in what I like and then go back in add to areas where I think needs a little bit of extra love I need not this one maybe this one let's still open that but I don't want these white highlights to be too stark so I'm going to add just a little bit of this teal that I spilled not for this but we'll call it that it makes your new ink so one more white and we'll call it quick reseal we'll go ahead and prep our oh it was super hot and muggy when we were down there really yet I'm sure it will be okay alright so for this I'm going to use Artcoat by Stonecoat countertops it is my favorite resin right now it has the working time the UV resistance the smell it has a good viscosity everything really that I could ask for in a resin is in these bottles also if you guys are in and around Dallas this weekend we're going to be doing a demo of that Art Co I mean maker space sorry maker space in North Dallas or Carrollton no it sounds like Kujo no boys no boys thanks you guys oh I'm sure New Orleans is muggy boy enough so this resin is a one to one which means you do equal parts A and B I mix mine for three minutes which is what is directed on the side of the bottle you can get this stuff from or you can get it from our website artistalith.com if you get it from Stonecoat they'll give you $10 $10 off $100 or $90 order if you use the code YALL Y A L L all caps no punctuation unfortunately I cannot afford to do that on my website but if you want to get paints and things as well then maybe check out our website I bet it was horrendous with the president in town I'm pretty sure I didn't make enough resin for this but we'll see thanks you guys thanks Clara have a safe trip Dorian another great thing about this resin is it doesn't give off death bubbles which is these little bubbles when you mix your resin that sometimes fly up at you I'm sure they're not good to breathe in so I call them death bubbles I don't know what would happen if you did inhale a bubble but I'm not going to do it to test it for y'all that's one thing I'm not going to be able to test sorry you can tell when you mix it enough because you won't see any swirls after you go once around your mixing cup if it's not mixed enough you'll see a little bit of a haze a little bit of different colors and if you don't mix your resin well enough then parts of it will never set I know y'all that have been with me for a little while I already know that but for all of the new fans it's important to know also don't forget to scrape the sides in the bottom of your mixing apparatus apparatus is a good word bucket, cup whatever so you don't have any weak spots as well you try to get Marcy to sneak you some what some resin Marcy's great by the way if you guys haven't checked out Mixed Media Girl we'll give her a shout from the fan she does mostly acrylic pours but she does a lot of stuff and it's always awesome also check out Stone Cook's channel pretty amazing stuff we're actually planning another trip up there as well I think I'm going to mix in just a little bit of an iridescence this is oyster satin from Resinart my website if you're interested I think it's in stock it's just going to give it a little bit of a mother pearl sparkle don't add too much because it'll make it a little bit too cloudy for what you want I think so this is definitely a dabbledy type product but it'll give some sparkle I wanted but if it's not handy then it wasn't necessary but this is what we're looking like you can see just a little bit of that pearlescent look in there set this with heat one more time make sure it's dry hey Shelly what's feeling good? it's been busy lately they've been traveling a lot so they haven't gotten to do any lives but I'm sure they'll get back on it ASAP because they really like connecting with everybody through their lives here we go maybe it will be enough also maybe I put too much pearlescent in there smooth it out it's covered up too much and you can see it from the side but not on the top anymore maybe we'll do this fill up these guys never let your artwork defeat you there's always a way to fix whatever happens I always have mold handy just in case I have leftover or something just happens so there is still some left in here which is fine I'm just going to add clear into it hi boys looks alright with this thin coat but it is a lot of fun to do I think it's important to keep an open mind to all different kinds of mediums and typecast yourself as just one type of artist because you never know what you can do until you try a lot and fail a lot and then once you learn a medium you can incorporate that into other mediums and whenever you have a new perspective it's always a good thing Diane they're working he still has his cough I'm going to take him back in for a check up in a few days he's got to have a refill and I like to take him in like once a month just to get evaluated and make sure his meds are still at the right levels for those that don't know Pooja has a little bit of a heart condition thank you Debbie I definitely don't spend time spreading everything but if it doesn't go the way I plan it to then just evaluate where you're at and regroup stressing out isn't going to fix any situation especially not with resin so that's kind of my it's probably more like a life motto for me that I don't really stress out over a lot of stuff but then again sometimes things don't get done because I don't really stress out over things that is one of my favorite things about Amanda that she forces me to do stuff I don't want to I will Diane Rebecca still up on those like the round ones, the petri dish ones thank you Rebecca you can get up there Poojo he's yelling at me wanting to get up on his chair but I have resin finger so he's just going to have to wait a minute you can get the petri dishes off Amazon I can add those to our Amazon store down in the link below for you as soon as I'm done with this I'm almost mixed fully I always mix till my hand hurts and then mix for like two minutes longer ever since my very first piece never has ever been jaded alright hey Megan thanks Miss Smith so I'm going to pour this right over where the wave is to try to push out the resin that had the pearlescent in it and it's working here we go now I need to add some heat to do and we have a lot of titanium white over there what about snow white so I'm going to since the white froth kind of disappeared some back in this is snow white from it's from a color session grab a little spoon doesn't really matter where I take this from because it's self leveling and it's going to fill back in anyways but if I can add some directional waves like this then so be it get the white it doesn't take much and those of you who have been on the channel for a little while know that I usually use stone coats white base tint but since I only have one color represented really do what I need it to and I don't really want the big webbing cells I want the froth from ocean break look so that's what we're going for in theory see if it works see if I can do this without messing it up my table here isn't exactly level and because I have that shimmer in there I can see what direction it's shifting it's going to get for now so I will go back in with a heat gun and drop the extra bubbles that the embossing gun didn't I just don't have one over here right now I'm going to bring you guys in I'm sorry Rebecca I'm going to add some of my glitter glass that I have left over these will end up laying flat and give it some sparkle after the fact and they're clear so they're not going to cover up really any of the design so let's bring you guys in for a close up well let's bring it back out I love the depth with this white it looks like smoke thanks Lynn Maria I appreciate it that pearlescent in certain areas I think brings out a different look as well Diane we'll plug it in tonight we just came in at 7.45 that's why we were late today I think y'all were right for adding a little bit of the gold in there too this part looks a little bit like octopus, tentacles or what is the other thing thanks Heidi I can't remember what other animal I'm thinking of oh there's some flash so see if you can see the glitter glass yet squid, jellyfish both are correct also love those bubbles on the outside share Rebecca when you come into town as long as we're here there's some of the glitter glass so I'll also do another video for the Facebook group anyways thanks for tuning in seeing what we're up to today y'all I will be back with today what is today? Tuesday? tomorrow I'll show you guys how it's set up so hope to see y'all then thanks for watching y'all here comes my boys they know what's up hi miss so yeah please subscribe oh there's Bowie hi beans oops subscribe leave a thumbs up let me know what you think in the comments if you have any requests please let me know should be an email or boys calm down mou work yourself up into a tizzy should be an email or leave it in the comment box below if you kind of want another you never know what someone may be going through let's go see what Jeff's up to and then I will say bye to y'all please excuse the state of my house there's Amanda Banks we got some colors then y'all looks like this he's setting up his new filming area so that he can paint for ok with the flash mr vega I'm trying to figure out how this goes
