 What what my son? What is it? Oh? Let's see if y'all can hear me today If you can hear me, then you can hear this whiny little boy What's the problem beans what? What do you want to talk about? Do you want to talk about something like what let's discuss? What can I help you with? Hey prosperity Hey, someone's here. Just hey everyone in the group This little guy has been the whiny whiny whiniest little fluff face Ever invented of all the fluffies and you will hear him tonight. I'm sure just wanting all the attention go lay down Lisa you are just a whole new record Right. I know it. I just know it bowie beans We can't talk about anything right now because I have stuff to do billy Who's just the chatteriest one right now? I'm not really sure why Oops, let me see if I can find you guys on Saturday We sure have something else for sure. That's enough billy just Be easy 100% oh, no, it's just a mermaid No, no whine for you He is a full-blooded 100% needy baby I had to carry him around in the sling today because he was so In need and incessant on having all of the attention right now. Thank you very much I'm hoping by giving him all of the little chewy two things ever invented. He'll Give me a little bit of a break so that I can art for you guys Apparently that's enough. I would put Jeff on daddy duty, but he is finishing a commission in The other filming area So it's just me. Oh, I wanted to show you guys What the painting from yesterday look like really pumped about how this turned out Well, I just started no worries if you just got the notification and it's pretty accurate today I'm glad you have had a good day baby cakes mine has been less than amazing Amanda was supposed to come over and help today and instead she informed me that She can't commit to specific days anymore because life is crazy Which I knew would happen at some point So right before I go out of town is not the best time to do that and then my dog sitter tressa informed me that She has to work 12 hours a day two of the days that I'm going to be out of town so Can't watch the boys. So I'm scrambling trying to find a new sitter Yeah, that's where I'm at today When it rains it pours a But I'm not here to make y'all's day Less than amazing. I'm here to make your day more amazing so excited for you lisa sandy I will ask jeff about that For that part of the trip but going to oregon in the morning So can't take them on that flight. I don't Even have their paperwork together for that No worries happy On the bright side this piece is looking amazing. I love it. Never mind the fingerprints I didn't I forgot that this like Smoky part here had like The glitter in it. Where are you? nope yep because I put the bling it in there so my smoke is sparkly All the way around how emerging All of my awesome fingerprints through here, that's awesome Besides that though, I mean I'll get the fingerprints off I am Beyond elated at how this piece turned out 100% Now I just want to display it, but I don't know when where Right joe the backing is Super fun to pick off and if you guys haven't tried one of our clear rounds You can peel off stuff from the sides And ultimately if you try hard enough You could probably peel it off the top. I just don't recommend it You could use it as a wall display Or a place setting or you can get those standoff things To put it on a wall and mount it All right, I like the way it outlined the white as well purples are my favorite too. Okay moving on. I Did do the X crystals and they turned out awesome. So I did more today I haven't opened these yet So basically you boil water Put more borax in the water than the water can hold And then you cover it and dangle something in it and then it Grows crystals I have apparently Not left enough room for this particular crystal to Let go of the edges So I don't know how I'm gonna get that one out, but I'll worry about that later Too much stuff to worry about today sandy, um, I am bringing you a 40 As well as someone else requested three of the 40s. So that's all the 40s. I haven't stopped So I put this one in at about two o'clock today whoop I couldn't have done that if I tried Nailed it. It's the best part of my day right there so I'm trying to make the inside of geodes So that I can like just like insert this in between my Free form and like do the deal around it. So That's where I'm at and I think it's working pretty well I haven't done a test to see how it works Under resin but Jen who has done everything all the time every time Says it'll do fine under resin so if you guys would like I can do a video on how I grew this in In six hours from just a pipe cleaner and borax and Water and a little piece of string or metal or whatever you can use to hang it Into your water. So it'll make like an awesome ornament Or for me. I wanted to make the inside of a geode So I don't know if you guys have it the stuff in, um, australia. I have never looked But it's borax, which is like a detergent. I ordered mine off amazon. It's not expensive But you boil water Put it in a glass jar add More borax than the water can hold by just stirring it in and letting it dissolve until it doesn't dissolve into the hot water anymore Drop something in it. That's rough Or just not super smooth. I tried it with just resin um, like mold things that were apparently too smooth for the crystals to grab a hold of and um A few hours later pop out of crystal. You can also add food coloring and um, I did one with the color obsession tints to see if they would work and I will let you guys know how that turned out You can definitely add color Thanks, laura Anyways, I will do a video on that tonight so that I can post it while we are in transit minyana Wish I could get this one out. I made a flower I'll have to pry it out with something later I'll just let it continue to grow And I think if I take the thing out Boil the water again with all the borax Still in it. You can see how it's trying to collect on the side of this glass jar I hope I'm trying to like show you without tipping all this water out These are all just borax crystals collecting On the edge Right linda That's exactly what I used was the 20 mule team borax Okay Add my wine onto the show Tink um I'm sure you can get borax It's just um like a detergent additive for like cleaning your like laundry um, I'll show you the box So that you guys know So this is what the box looks like Probably in the laundry detergent area. It's a detergent booster But I will do a full video on how that worked. This is one of the ones that I did with um Bondi blue color but um I put spray paint on the back of it to make it more g.o.d And I hit it with a little bit of heat so it kind of dulled some of the areas you can see where it's whited out a little bit and some of these edges But it's still pretty But just don't use a heat gun on it because it's very sensitive to it Oh great. Now at work Lord Taylor Um, I got I'm going to test and see if I can make silicone molds from them actually Because it would be awesome to design my own drusy shapes That way, you know so on to Actual art in for the day I'm going to test some colors together and do a larger one If time permits Have a great day Lisa. So I'm using a heavy upo um, the reason why I'm using heavy is because it's least likely to bend and fold and warp because I am someone that uses a lot of heat on my alcohol ink and so Have to be sensitive to that Oh extreme close-up Let me just zoom in a little so I've been studying a little bit on different techniques with alcohol inks, you know in my spare time and I'm hoping to get better at it. So I'm going to go back to small scale For just like a minute and see if it works that size and then Figure it out from there, you know I'm going to put my heat on half halfway Also, this table's not level so that's fun. I'll ever have those days where it doesn't matter What you want to do Because everything is just going to do what it wants to do That's my day. Oh, yeah, that borax is not expensive at all So I'm adding some I can't remember what it's called the rainbow from Maribou It's my favorite color from their line And I really want to work on getting my fades Because right now like all of my stuff is really heavy So that's kind of what I want to work on today So far it looks like I'm going to have to really work on this to get an actual fade. That's fine I don't mind working Or what I want Especially out of my artwork Thank you for that nana. Not every day is An easy Fly through it day and that is perfectly fine Just have to learn to roll with the punches It's just been a it's been a hot minute since I had to roll with Punches I couldn't control Today is one of the very true happy So it looks like there's still a little bit too much humidity in the air since I'm getting this Coagulated look Here I hope you guys can see that this dark rim. It's not really bad. It's just a little bit of This dark bubbling So i'm gonna turn my piece this way since I know that My table drips this way And from what I've seen This is how people do it They do like a design And then they Well, they don't blow Ink onto their piece from the table But they just add ink Nope, they add alcohol To Faded out in the fatty Audi parts Fady Audi is technical term But maybe I won't go that way again It's gonna pick up some ink, but it fade out the only thing I can't figure out is It gives me new lines and I don't Want that just so Also would probably help if I got something more controllable than just this big Ketchup bottle a lot of people use I think I have some of those I have some of these fine tips squirty doodads courtesy judy. Thank you. Thank you I'm just gonna put the alcohol in here And hopefully I'll be able to control How much comes out In theory Yeah, I do need one of those embossing heat guns, but till then Work with what I got I also like that Look that's like it's splashed off as well So maybe I can get some of those Going Yeah, I know a lot of people work with their heat guns turned all the way down I just It doesn't drive fast enough for me that way impatient It's um It's a struggle I live with every day But that's not cute Spider legs I got going on right here Maybe that'll be better since I like saturated the whole area awesome Diane What belly so that's a little bit better of like a subtle fade, but Not by much I have a new idea. So I'm going to put this aside Dry this as much as possible Is there a particular side of this that's better than the other? I have no idea. I'm going to start smaller See how that goes I say that as I continue to add ink and color and things There's always room for more sparkle glitter is always an option Maybe if I get a nice design in the center I can control it a little bit more going outward In theory It's always just a theory I find I can control it better if I hold the piece of paper Do you guys do that or do you lay it flat? When you work on your paper Nene that happened to me and I just cut off More of the tip. So that's why It's a little bit shorter All right, I think people do this. Let's see if it works Why does it collect on this edge? Rude I'll just have to clean it up later So that's not bad. It almost looks like some milk cute It's like some kind of star wars-esque robot alien But let's keep going Okay. Well, those both look Smoky and then that last one on the end was like no I'm going to be a leg That can't be how people do this Okay I'll try a couple more areas and then I'm going to attempt to do a flower Um the sparkly ink is by meriboo And it's called rainbow Very appropriately named. I'm just giving my slug a mohawk. Hope you don't mind That's what I was thinking I'll just come back to this guy I'm going to do a flower. I watched, um Saskia do a flower and now I want to do a flower Yes, it is by meriboo Here is a close-up of The name If it's gonna focus No Left Right Where am I? There's a delay on my camera I guess I gotta just told you M-A-R-A-B-U And that's being scaly down All right I watched her do her magic I'm half listening because I have attention deficit So I'm going to try To make something awesome Already I have extra splatter. So that's fun Well, I like it so far. Even though I'm going to have to Edge up This Get my borax rag. I've been too big of a cuddle Maybe I'm a little overzealous A little bit crazy with it But I guess you're supposed to go back and Do some of those parts over That looks fine It's good so far Draw my puddle first. Oh, well, I guess it's almost dry now It's looking like a galactic flower at this point You guys haven't watched Saskia's videos I don't know what you're doing with your life. She's brilliant and push some of that ink back down It's a little bit. I don't know why I just felt like I needed to Probably not the best idea, but I did Yeah, I think it's best when you like Do bigger puddles might possibly be one of my favorite pieces by the end. I don't want to like Shoot myself in the foot here I'm loving how it looks so far I love learning alongside you guys because you guys always have great Information for me things that I wouldn't have known without you Bye Joe Once puddles dry angle gun towards you Uh, I think I know what you're saying Diane. I saw her do this, but I wasn't sure Why it was so Also, I'm not sure she adds Anymore when she has like her first round of puddles Yes, this is on heavy you both Oh, yeah, I know Claire has some really good videos on this too. I need to Take a day off from creating one day, you know in my spare time Just catch up on all you lovely ladies and gentlemen's art videos If you guys do some amazing amazing things I love learning from you guys too I'm Heidi saschia Gave me this inspiration And hers is way better than mine Pretty sure her last name is Smith SMIT It's like Rob and saschia Maybe is the channel name Really should do more homework before Name drop people so I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'll do better. I promise y'all I'll do better Um, it may be that my larger heat gun is drying it too fast in comparison I'll have to try it An airbrush, but Jeff is do you think has airbrushed right now? I think so Yeah, Doris if you want to you can go ahead and link her channel One of those days You know, it's not as good as hers for sure for sure for sure But I'm really excited about how it's going so far Although I'm not sure where I'm going to go with it once I get These initial puddles done On my space flower I've not tried using this straw all of my straws currently have borax on them Have you and Jeff always been artists? So Jeff has always been an artist and I've always enjoyed drawing well He actually has always been a professional artist in some aspect or another some capacity of some sort I actually After graduating college took up my Business degree so I was in hospitality sales for Seven years after college this will mess it up We're just gonna find out together Of course happy I like that one. Thank you Diane I was actually really nervous to try it. I wanted to be true to the channel and only try things Live, you know I'm not working out too shabby because you see still on the silk You got to pick that up before Burley finds those because he um Is really good at chewing on everything he's not supposed to it's a talent To give and a curse of his A lot of my colors are kind of blending in a little of a lot like Maybe I want to add something What color maybe teal What is this? marine green turquoise Let's try adding that in here Heidi I'm still trying to narrow down the details for the meet and greet in Colorado Springs, but I should have that Sooner than later. Let's see if that makes a difference. This is the area with the biggest part. So Start there So far there's zero difference but that could be because Most of that turquoise is not in this area, so um We'll just try it You're here the answer is no that means zero I feel like if I add a yellow It'll just be too much What do y'all think add a yellow leave it as is Thank you so much Don I always like adding these like flecks of color Y'all may not love it, but that's what It's one of the things I like about watercolor and alcohol ink Could be just me if it is that's fine All right, I'm gonna try it again But with different colors I'm gonna try just like a yellow Maybe a yellow and teal Maybe yellow in this um dark peacock blue color Which may also turn it some weird funky green Thanks y'all Yep, weird funky green it is It's fine. I'll just add more blue than not blue Hopefully I didn't just make the grossest color I've ever invented If I did Then y'all will know not to do that All right, it's not the grossest color, but that just didn't work as a petal I have to make them wider, right? I believe so And again alcohol rag ready To clean up these funky Particles Promises in my first class of wine It looks like maybe I'm just doing this for like background color And then I'm gonna like put an awesome color on top of it, but I don't know how to do that So we're gonna have to um Get out. Thank you Shaz. That might be exactly what I was just trying to explain I love having the ability to like fold the color And kind of control how the ink drives Sometimes I feel like that's the only thing I can control about alcoholing And by sometimes I mean all the time all the time. I feel that way And that I will do a demo on the borax crystals. That just made it like toxic green color Just fine. I hope I get to paint with Saskia one day Which is pretty awesome Thank you Sandy So I added a dot of yellow just on the outside to see what it would do And I did get a pretty nice fade. I have done alcohol ink on coasters I believe I have a couple of different videos on it I'll just have to link it Some points for y'all I'm going to try that yellow dots situation again just there I like how that looks I love working with resin and the colors are always so vibrant, but You can't see the vibrancy of alcohol in colors. I'm pretty sure We use the most jealous one I'm going to try that little addition thing with this Cheely turquoisey color The only problem with adding the color like that is you kind of move outside of and away from your center area So now looks like I stepped on a flower and squished it like a bug rather than Having that central point that you're growing from No worries Angela. We will um We'll be back down Pigeon germ patient We'll definitely be back down We had an amazing time in Florida I'm kind of trying to wipe these like drips off under this Rag here As I go so I don't have to do so much cleanup later That's not dry all the way. Thank you 755. I have no idea what I'm doing I'm literally as I go just hoping that this time adding ink doesn't ruin What I already have down Like with every bit of alcohol I'm adding I'm like Like Improve it. Don't detract improve it. Don't detract So far it's not been a bad like way of doing it But you never know There's always that one It's great to mess it up and my petals look more like smoke than actual petal Which I'm half fine with Sean so the deal with ink spading is I feel like I heard that that's mostly when you drop them into alcoholings I mean, obviously it it may fade over time Just like this as well so I'm not 100 on the science of it. I'm working on learning all that stuff We'll see It's kind of like I squished a bug But still floral Yeah, you definitely need to seal it Before you um Add resin because it'll fade So having this little red tip here has been actually an awesome idea So I don't have that odd border of color Just letting that collect the ink as it Rolls off On the bottom I'm trying to like amend the areas that look more like smoke than Petals, I don't know if that's possible, but I'm going to do my best to fill in these areas It's so difficult because it's kind of like with resin. It's like I like this area and I don't want to mess with it But also I want to fix it The struggle She is real Yep, should have been doing this red tip thing all along I'm going to do a few more drops with this Color palette and then I might try to add Something else I don't know. I'll see what y'all think as I go I feel like this gray green. Nope blue green and yellow Maybe isn't everything It could be And I would just love to make it better version of what it is Hopefully without like risking it actually changing I just have to be careful of what color I add because You don't want to add something that's going to really Turn whatever you have here into a crappy brown color. So you have to consider What you have And whether the color that you're trying to add will make poopy brown color or Something better So you really don't want to go opposite the color wheel, which is difficult because The colors that are represented here is like a fourth Maybe I'll add gold as an accent. But before that I would love to add just some other Accentuating color I don't know. Maybe I'm thinking wrong about it What do y'all think I need to know So where do I go from here? What do y'all think? Y'all say gold, but I can't use that with What is it that doesn't work with gold? It works with alcohol. So that'd be fine, right? All right, so Angela, I think the purple that's on the table might make Like if it mixes with the yellow, it's going to make a funky brown as well as with the green So I might just try the gold Let's see if I have my varnish here A UV archival I'm just going to spray it on this area because it's what I like I'm just going to spray that all over my phone, but that's fine because it didn't get in the wine So I'll let that dry while I'm working on This one Angela All right Don't know how this is going to work, but we're going to experiment together, right? Right I'm going to put some more blue down too Because why not? While that setting thinks All right Where's my thing? That was a close one. Where's the cap? What do I do with it? Okay I'm kind of disappearing here So the gold kind of disappeared um Kind of disappeared That thing today One of our one of the families there. Yeah Yeah, that's just where he keeps it It does look pretty in the center, so I'm not disappointed at being there at all I'm just surprised it kind of Doesn't do anything You know I kind of feel like I should have added a larger one And dropped color on it so that it kind of lightening bolted out like it it is here So I guess I'm gonna add Maybe one here and one here and then call it On this one Some eggplant maybe I should have used a pink instead Not mad last one. Thank you Doris Colors Let's do red and red and yellow And gold I'm gonna put the gold in here first I bet if I offset that It'll look better Thank you, Lisa. I'm too impatient for this part Dry enough for me wasn't ready with my Kid That's pretty color All right Moving That one just went straight pink I'm gonna make a flower and theory making so I recorded like 20 minutes of Black screen That's fun. Why'd you do that because I had it on you didn't switch it Yeah, because I saw one and I thought that's a good angle, but it was the left side Wasn't on live What's everybody doing tonight? This hi Jeff. Hello everyone. I didn't wait till that cuddle is dry in the middle and it shows It does kind of look like a starfish doesn't it and then I'm my thing ready It shows Would have been a pretty puddle um Thank you I was able to go back and clean that part a little later This one I don't want to jinx myself, but my end up looking more floral than any of the other ones I've probably just jinxed myself, but in the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy it. I have to chill for a minute I'm not ready Without a little bit more filming to do boys So amazing how you can like put a whole bunch of colors into a puddle And every color Or every puddle that comes out of it is a different shade Wedding interesting wedding wedding That's a fun-looking one Yes, they do sandy. Yes, they do Going forward. I'm gonna do like smaller dots of color or work on a bigger Piece of paper Because I want it to not go all the way to the edges ideally That's something I'm gonna work on Next time I do one of these guys Baby cakes, thank you very much I'm sure there's plenty of ways to do this better and more refined and beautiful, but Not gonna beat myself up over this Not really first time because I did how many before this I know I ain't even mad at it. I will say having this rag pick up the drips on the edge Makes a difference For sure my gold has all but completely disappeared though So, yeah, it's gonna dab some of this turquoise in the center This glittery Rainbow from Maribou Try to make the What are that little polliny particles? I can't remember but that's what I'm doing right now. I can deal with that Thank you Diane. I think my splash of color will be Aqua Hey Clara Thank you Annette Not mad at it at all in the least even a little bit. So to recap I have some learning to do with Um alcohol in I'm going to be doing a tutorial for you guys on Something The borax crystals need to practice my flowers and watch more flair videos slash Sosca videos. I'm sure my night will get better So, yeah Here's the borax crystal Hey missy Clara I'm gonna have to check those out Anyways you guys you just let me know when nurse calls Boys um Hope you all enjoyed it or learned something or enjoyed it or learned something I gotta take these boys out because they're about to get um extra And if um you have any questions, please leave it in the comments below or send me an email bowie enough Um be kind to one another you never know if someone's going through and I will see you guys Uh next time till then bye
