✨ Between Ranger and Jacquard Piñata, my MUCH preferred ink now is Piñata! It is more concentrated, more vibrant, more lightfast AND less expensive! It is easily thinned and blended for endless colors. If you watch later alcohol ink videos of mine you’ll see that I use a new NON-TOXIC alcohol ink brand called Kielty Ink even more. They are low in odor, more lightfast, and more concentrated. I hope you’ll have a chance to learn about them.✨

The price of isopropyl alcohol (also called "rubbing alcohol") is exorbitant online ... I was unable to find a reasonably priced listing to add for you here.
Ceramic tile prices were equally, or more, "just wrong" online ... $15 for 10 4x4 inch tiles?!? There should hopefully be no need to pay that. Home improvement stores, some hardware stores, tile shops, recycle/reuse shops, and more, carry them for much less.
If you'd like to seal your alcohol ink paintings, I use a museum quality spray by Krylon. Unlike most spray varnishes and acrylic sprays, it will not react in any way with the alcohol inks ... so, even the most tiny details will remain crisp and unchanged when sprayed.
Here is a link: amzn.to/2jGh3KO
I hope this was of help in getting you started.
Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕

Myriam, I hope an art school, high school or college/university has the honour of having you on staff because you are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Your pace, tone, content, humour, knowledge all promote learning in students of all levels, even someone like me who had never attempted making art until I hit my 70s. Thank you for your generosity in sharing what you know with us.

As someone who just purchased their first alcohol inks and is looking for instruction and information rather than wanting to just sit and watch someone creating a piece while trying to figure out how they did whatever it was that they did, your videos are just perfect!!

Hi Myriam, it was a pleasure viewing your tutorial. My main medium is watercolor. A group of my fellow artists got together a few years ago to experiment with the alcohol inks making greeting cards. We had a ball. I have not used them much since then, you have inspired me to pick them up again. I have no excuse since I am practicing social distancing. You are also an excellent instructor. Best!

I find that I really don’t care if what I do or make pleases others as long as it pleases me. You have inspired me further. Thank you.

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm new to the medium and you were able to make SO MANY THINGS make sense in ways that hours and hours of research & tutorials couldn't! You broke down how to use the materials and why you need to so thoroughly and thoughtfully, and blessedly kept in mind the perspective of those of us that are brand new to alcohol inks instead of forgetting to explain things that have become second nature to you. I feel so much better about diving into alcohol inks and I love your energy and kindness! Thank you so much again for taking your time out to make this video!

Super! Love your teaching style. Have you tried to make the blending solution with glycerin and alcohol? Also, have you tried 99% alcohol? If so, any noticeable differences or advantages? I'm still mucking around with acrylic pouring but see alcohol ink in my future. :-) Thanks!

Hi Marie! I have tried the glycerin and alcohol DIY solution a lot... It is no better than straight alcohol. There are many "recipes" out there with varying amounts of glycerin added... Sadly none are substitutes for genuine blending solution. The glycerin does nothing but slow the drying time of the alcohol a tiny bit but doesn't maintain the sheen and binding properties that the "real" stuff does. Is that important, often not but it does mean that if you use alcohol only (which I definitely do sometimes to save money!) you absolutely HAVE to seal your piece because the ink will EASILY rub off. Real blending solution keeps that from happening because it has binders built in. I have not tried 99% but know many who have... they report virtually identical results as 91%. I hope that helps. 😊 Thank you for your sweet comment! 💕

Marie caire I believe 91% dries slightly slower than 99% (I am not an expert but it was discussed on a group that I follow). You can mix your own by using 10 parts alcolhol to 1 part distilled water. 😊. I mix up small batches at a time. I haven’t done a comparison but I think I might compare the two. Thanks for your tips too. It’s a great medium.

Thank you Miriam, I just love the way you explain things.I’m very tempting to try this.Have done silk painting and a little bit of water colour and this appeals to me. Maybe because it is a bit like painting on silk you never know what happens and that can’t be duplicated.Loved it.

You ROCK!!!! Loved it - it gave me some great ideas for friends who are thinking of doing this. The one thing I'd mention is that it should be done in a well ventilated room and some sort of mask to filter out the contaminants should be used. Thank you again!
