    I have heard you should bleach them first so they don’t mold. Is that necessary?

  • @Miriamjoy123
    @Miriamjoy1233 күн бұрын

    I use the ones that they make tamales with and it is not necessary but if you used ones that were not prepared first, that would be a good idea. It would also help with your color. The husk is yellow in color. That makes colors like blue turn green.

    Hi. Really enjoy your work and love your teaching method. Question. Are any of your vases waterproof. Can they be used for live flowers?

  • @Miriamjoy123
    @Miriamjoy12311 күн бұрын

    Hi Roberta, Thank you for the question. They are not waterproof. I prefer to set a waterproof vase or container in the guard. With that said, you can use Flex Seal. The spray-on rubber sealer they advertise on TV. I would do that before you decorate the gourd and make sure it is waterproof. Hope this helps. Miriam joy

    Hi Miriam. I would like to ask you if you give the gourd a base to cover the pores before applying the alcohol inks. Thank you very much.

  • @Miriamjoy123
    @Miriamjoy123Ай бұрын

    I normally do not but with that said, it does help to even out the porous of the gourd. Also if you want bright colors a base with gesso or white acrylic paint is good to start with.

  • @lacasademaderadeTximi
    @lacasademaderadeTximiАй бұрын

    Thanks for answering me. I would like to know why you have such bright colors on the gourd if you don't give it a previous base.

  • @Miriamjoy123
    @Miriamjoy123Ай бұрын

    @@lacasademaderadeTximi You can still have bright colors. Just remember that the gourd is yellow and you have to adjust. This means if you use a blue alohol ink on a gourd you might get more of a green color. There is nothing wrong with doing it straight on the gourd. I love alcohol inks. They have a life on their own. You can also use the alcohol ink white color first and then your other colors. Do not be afraid to apply the color again if you want more color. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for the question. It depends on what type of method I used to dye or color the gourd. I usually spray varnish but if the color is steadfast you can also use brush on varnish. There is a video to show you how I spray varnish. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJqHlLqNnZXTqrw.html Please let me know if you have more questions. God Bless, Miriam Joy

    What is the size of the fabric piece you've used please? 1/4 of a yard is 9", cut in half is 4.5". Then you cut the other way 4.5"? That's a square and your piece of fabric looks more like a rectangle.

    You know, another thing you could use for your topper is the marble glass antique knobs and they have clear glass and teeth knobs that you could use, take the metal part off, or maybe leave it on, just cut your bottle down a little bit and glue it on to the top that would be really cool. I have about 4 of the clear glass knobs. I'm gonna try this and make them with the clear knobs. But also they have the clear candle plates at the Dollar Tree too that you can buy instead of using the mirror.

    It isn't clear what this is talking about. For instance what shells? Or are they stones? Are these real sea shells? Because those don't shine. Are they pieces of glass? And you never show directly what you do with the melted crayon. There is no direct link to these shell mosaic kits on the web site. There is just a url that you have to copy and paste, and when I went there I couldn't find the shell mosaics.
