Thank you! Yes these are regular alcohol inks, however the white (Snowcap) is much thicker than the other colors and does not allow them to penetrate as much if it is dry. That allows me to be able to add a small amount of the second color and hopefully it stays on top. It was just an experiment to see what works. The only way to get colors to work on a black tile is to add white beneath or on top of the color you want to show. Hope this makes sense.

@island_jewel57
5 жыл бұрын
There are a few rules to using canned air. Normally I use a small compressor, but for teaching purposes I use the can. 1st and most importantly....never shake the can. You will see that on the instructions. This mixes the air with the chemical and the result won't be good. You might see a fine white powder come out, if you see this you know you are shaking it. Also don't overtip it. The same thing will happen. It helps to keep it off the table so you can get the straw closer without overtipping. 2nd.....don't over use it. The can will freeze up (even get frosty) if you use too much at a time. If the can is getting too cold, just let it rest and warm up. These tips should help. Some use a straw to blow the ink, but I get too breathless doing it that way. Also moisture builds up in the straw which the inks don't like. keep trying, don't give up!

I sand the edges, give it a coat of primer with a small sponge roller, and then roll about 3 coats of paint, either white or black, or whatever color you want. Regular latex house paint works. I attach D hooks and wire to the back and then mount the tile with No More Nails glue. I have also sold this size tile set on a wooden mini easel.

Yes, they must be sealed as handling will eventually smear the ink, also they can fade if not protected from the sun. My sealing formula is Krylon Kamar, Krylon U.V. protectant spray , then a final glossy spray such as Rustoleum 2 X gloss. 3 light coats of each, a few hours apart. That's 9 coats total. You could also use resin, but still need Kamar first .

Jewel, I have tried your technique with the white cap on black tile. I am having some difficulty with keeping the white from doing odd things. First, it wants to spider web after I hit it with the air. I have shaken the bottle for minutes to ensure it's mixed. I have puffed the white mix very gently, moderately, and blasted it in frustration. The white does not remain smooth. Second, I thought it was the tile. So I cleansed it with 91% alcohol three times. Still the same issue. I decided to try painting over the dried white (still webbed looking) and it began to mix with the color, separate and bead. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I thought that maybe I was using too much white, so I used just one bottle drop, two bottle drops, and three bottle drops to compare - no change in the webbing or mixing. Any suggestions?

Gerry, this might look like a subtle thing, but notice that she's hitting each drop of paint with a "double tap" from the air can. This is an important thing to note. A single blast can cause the ink to go everywhere, but 2 controlled short burst right after one another can help you control the ink better.

Thanks Judi! I appreciate the kind comments. My prices are in Canadian $, I sell framed 3x6 for $65. I make my own frames. On an easel, it is $30. So around 25% less USD. You can find more of my work on my FB page Jewel Rosemary Art.

Thank you for your speedy reply... After I saw your video last night... I couldn't sleep, I was sooo excited of the possibility of painting one these tiles!!! And I didn't have the supplies to work on!!! ... The reason this means soo much to me (finding your video) is I'm making a Life Change and stepping out in faith that once again I can sell my ART... I used to design clothing... and did well.. but once we get older I feel it's a littler scarier.... Like I said, "You are a God-Send" (A prayer answered) ... ;)

Hi, Jewel ... are those regular alcohol inks that you use? When applying one over another, the 2nd color doesn't remove the first? Your tile is beautiful!
@island_jewel57

Thank you! Yes these are regular alcohol inks, however the white (Snowcap) is much thicker than the other colors and does not allow them to penetrate as much if it is dry. That allows me to be able to add a small amount of the second color and hopefully it stays on top. It was just an experiment to see what works. The only way to get colors to work on a black tile is to add white beneath or on top of the color you want to show. Hope this makes sense.
love thata

Jewel I bought the canned air and it spews and freezes my flowers. But I don’t see that happening to you?
@island_jewel57

There are a few rules to using canned air. Normally I use a small compressor, but for teaching purposes I use the can. 1st and most importantly....never shake the can. You will see that on the instructions. This mixes the air with the chemical and the result won't be good. You might see a fine white powder come out, if you see this you know you are shaking it. Also don't overtip it. The same thing will happen. It helps to keep it off the table so you can get the straw closer without overtipping. 2nd.....don't over use it. The can will freeze up (even get frosty) if you use too much at a time. If the can is getting too cold, just let it rest and warm up. These tips should help. Some use a straw to blow the ink, but I get too breathless doing it that way. Also moisture builds up in the straw which the inks don't like. keep trying, don't give up!

Hi Marie. The white is not acrylic, it is alcohol ink. You cannot use water it with water at all. Only alcohol or blending solution. They have it at Michael's and some art stores.
What's in the Alcohol blending solution? Also, are you using alcohol ink or acrylic ink?
@island_jewel57

I am using alcohol ink. The blender is mostly alcohol, but there are a couple other ingredients that help get the ink moving smoothly. I think ether and glycerine. I buy my blender, but there are recipes to make it.

+Didee M I get Home Depot to cut my wood for me to the size I want. There are no carpenters in this house, lol. I like a margin of about 2" around the tile so I would get a 3x6" tile like this mounted on a piece of wood that is cut to 7x10". MDF works well. I sand the edges, give it a coat of primer with a small sponge roller, and then roll about 3 coats of paint, either white or black, or whatever color you want. Regular latex house paint works. I attach D hooks and wire to the back and then mount the tile with No More Nails glue. I have also sold this size tile set on a wooden mini easel.

Do you have to seal these when they are done?
@island_jewel57
7 жыл бұрын
Yes, they must be sealed as handling will eventually smear the ink, also they can fade if not protected from the sun. My sealing formula is Krylon Kamar, Krylon U.V. protectant spray , then a final glossy spray such as Rustoleum 2 X gloss. 3 light coats of each, a few hours apart. That's 9 coats total. You could also use resin, but still need Kamar first .
Please speak up. My volume is turned all the way up and your voice is muffled. This is beautiful work your doing and I don’t want to miss your instructions. Thank you so much

Thanks for the comment, I know I need to talk louder, and my friend who is recording may have been a bit too far back as well.
Jewel, I have tried your technique with the white cap on black tile. I am having some difficulty with keeping the white from doing odd things. First, it wants to spider web after I hit it with the air. I have shaken the bottle for minutes to ensure it's mixed. I have puffed the white mix very gently, moderately, and blasted it in frustration. The white does not remain smooth. Second, I thought it was the tile. So I cleansed it with 91% alcohol three times. Still the same issue. I decided to try painting over the dried white (still webbed looking) and it began to mix with the color, separate and bead. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I thought that maybe I was using too much white, so I used just one bottle drop, two bottle drops, and three bottle drops to compare - no change in the webbing or mixing. Any suggestions?

Judi, I think you might be correct on this. Different kinds of tiles have all different kinds of glazed services. Some are pretty much like a glass and some are more matte, which makes the ink flow in a much different manner.

Gerry, this might look like a subtle thing, but notice that she's hitting each drop of paint with a "double tap" from the air can. This is an important thing to note. A single blast can cause the ink to go everywhere, but 2 controlled short burst right after one another can help you control the ink better.
What do you use to seal them? And what do you do with them when finished?

I first seal with Krylon Kamar, 3 light coats. This seals and protects the ink. You can find it at Walmart usually in the craft section. Then 3 light coats of UV archival varnish to protect from the sun. These sprays will take out some of the glossy finish, so you can add some varnish if you want some shine back. I mount my tiles and sell them at art markets and shows.

No, I don't sell them, but they are not hard to make. Just trace outside of the frame onto a piece of cardboard or stiff paper, plastic etc....and cut it out. Trace the tile onto the center first doing careful measurements to make sure it is dead center. Cut it out but add about 1/8th " to the cut out so the tile can sit in with a bit of space and is not too tight.
Do these need to be sealed after they are painted and what do you use to hang them?
@island_jewel57

yes sealants are important for protection. I use Krylon Kamar as the base sealant. Then a U.V. protectant spray. You may add a 3rd varnish spray if you want to bring back some of the glossy finish. 3 light sprays of each, dry a couple hours inbetween spraying. Sometimes I resin instead of the final coat.

For mounting I glue them to mdf board which I have cut at Home Depot. I prime it and paint it with a roller using house paint and then attach hanging wire. You could just glue a hook to the back of the tile with a really good glue like E6000.

why do you use canned air to dry it. a heat gun would be so much cheaper
@island_jewel57
6 жыл бұрын
I am using the air to move the ink. It is the focused air that makes the petals form the way they do. I don't think a heat gun would give the same effects. Also it is really hot and I am sure the tile would warm up fast. Don't want to get burned. I do demos and teach with the canned air, but in my studio painting for myself, I use a compressor. Much cheaper in the long run.
