2 years later I come across this video and this is absolutely gorgeous! After making cups for 4 years I learned a new technique today. Thank you!!!

This just came up in my KZread feed and just love this. What I love more is I have all the supplies needed. I have 30+ years of collecting I’m 73 I have to use my stuff before I get too old to not knowing what I’m doing.

❤️🌈❤️ Gorgeous. The brass added so much to it! At the beginning or end of it’s easier since sometimes the plan changes. Thanks for the lessons. I haven’t been creating but watching helps my mental health. I learn and stay half sane.

This is my return trip to this video. Tip....give yourself a cup with rice in it, to stand up your odd bottle of ink. Just shove it in and you have an extra hand. Love your artistic qualities!!

Hiya Clara, your tumbler is gorgeous! Beautiful colours you used. If and when you do get round to putting resin on it, could you please make another follow-up video of how that’s done? That would be amazing. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🤗

That brass was so much easier to add that I thought it would be! TFS ❣️

Presenting the colors in begining and ending of videos are perfectly fine by me...keep up the good work & videos!!!

I really love this cup! The colors with that brass are just so pretty! Thank you!

I like having colors at beginning and end. Your cup turned out awesome.

As long as you put the colors in the description I'm okay with it.

Absolutely gorgeous. Great job. A must do...

Absolutely gorgeous, great colors. Great job and thanks for sharing. 🌿🌺🌿

EXCELLENT... BEAUTIFUL I have never seen a Tumbler done this way... but I LOVE IT. Thank you so much for sharing this great video.

Not a bloody mess Clara great job luv the colors with the brass 💗😁✌🏼

You got this! Just remember the alcohol inks will reactivate and use that if you aren't happy with it. Just keep playing. If you like that look hit it (not too close of course) with a dryer to quickly dry that area.

It’s so pretty but, what does it look like with resin on it?

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! I would like to know how you seal it before the resin. I keep having issues with the inks running and blending into the resin.

@ClaraLawrence

Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I put several light coats of Krylon UV archival spray in MATTE. Do not use the gloss. It will reactivate your inks.

I have been watching a lot of your tumblers. All of your work is stunning. But what are you sealing these with? I tried the tumbler which came out beautifully but when I went to put resin on top (after letting dry for 48 hrs) the colors got all mushed together? How do you seal these so they are waterproof?

Could you put the tumbler on to a spinner and get the same results or do you need to hold it so you can spin it yourself?

I love this tumbler. I wonder just how many drops of brass you add to the added alcohol? I tried it with gold, but I didn’t have same results. I personally prefer the colours at the beginning. I like to know what you are working with at the time. Thanks for sharing

Hi. This is truely beautiful. Im not a glittery person but this is just perfect. One question though. How much alcohol do you put with your inks to wayer down. Like the brass ink.

@ClaraLawrence

Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much. When I lay down brass I do it either 2 ways. One I lay a little alcohol proceeded by a drop or two of brass and move it with a dryer or two I have a little bottle already prepared with diluted brass and alcohol and apply a few drops. I love doing the bottle method as it is setting me up to succeed and super handy.

@ClaraLawrence

All my tumblers get a coat of resin. So yes, they can be washed. By hand usually.

This is gorgeous. I tried it but the gold color didn’t migrate the way yours did (I used Piñata brass diluted with alcohol). I thought maybe I added too much alcohol (I got more of a solid line of washed out gold), so I added more of the brass and it did the same thing. How much do you dilute it? Thanks for the tutorial!

It's about a third brass to alcohol. And I will follow with a little alcohol behind it after I apply it.

Fab, can I ask what do you use to hold the cup when turning?

While I'm doing the alcohol ink, I usually hold it myself. While the cup is on the turner I have 2 different ones that I use. Here is my affiliates link for one of them. amzn.to/3SkUPKo and the other is from www.etsy.com/shop/SpencersCreations5?ref=yr_purchases

Wrap a bag or plastic around the lid and put it on the cup. Stuff the plastic inside. Then spray your cup. It won't get in.

I'll be honest. For alcohol ink, I don't use fancy brushes. The alcohol is rough on them. I do go for brushes made for acrylics.

Stainless steel - metal. It has been preprimed before the alcohol ink was applied.

Why do you dilute the brass color? You're the 2nd person I've watched and she diluted the brass also.

Colors at start and end please.

It's pretty. I think I would have like to seen a little cheat glitter in the resin just to give it Sparkle. But you don't show the end product so??? Showing the colors that you use only needs to be one time at the beginning. Best to see the end product. Not to go over colors again

Gorgeous!!
