Thank you for the fixative info!

Bubble wrap! Different sizes, and can be used on the gel plate over and over (when the dried paint gets pretty heavy, it leaves behing some fun grunge).

Hi, and thank you for the tip! I have used bubble wrap on occasion, but hadn’t thought to let the paint build up and use it with the grunge on there! I will definitely try that out!☺️

I started out as a card maker and became bored with traditional cards. Loving abstract art, I would be very interested in your take on them! So happy I found your channel!

Thank you so much! I will definitely do a video on some card-making at some point in the future!☺️

Thank you Melissa! I’m a pro at using odd things from around the house, but showing us the actual techniques was super informative and fun!

Really enjoying your videos. I would love to see more with alcohol inks. I have some but haven’t really played yet

Hi! I will put together a video in the new year on the Alcohol Inks. They are a lot of fun, but a bit different to use! Thanks for checking out my video!

Thank you! I always learn something from you! Who knew about Play-Doh or magic erasers?! And you took the mystery away about alcohol inks! Will you please talk about how to fix work ( ie chalk pastel or Stabilo Woodies on top of collage)- something that works indoors and doesn’t smell?

Thank you, you are so kind! I will get back to you on the fixatives. Just actually stepped into my car, but didn’t want to let the message go unacknowledged!☺️

As far as a fixative, I typically use Krylon UV Resistant spray or Grumbacher Final Fixative. Sometimes Krylon Triple Thick Acrylic Spray. I would not recommend using any of these in an enclosed space. You should always make sure there’s adequate ventilation and spray outside if possible.

I am interested in knowing more about alcohol ink

Man, do you need to clean your Plate. That was very interesting. That is some stuff you would put in the trash.

Yeah, I clean it periodically, but I like to let the paint build up so that some of the grunge comes off in my prints!☺️

In your opening photo you look like Madonna with halo…pretty ing 😊
