I thought we shouldn't use a torch on alcohol inks. Is it flammable?
@artminwithlynn7 күн бұрын
Torching the resin that is coating and on top of the inks is just fine and really helps to get all bubbles out.

I'm having some fun with alcohol inks! Do you put any kind of clear coat on top of your wood design?
@artminwithlynn7 күн бұрын
I have not sealed any of the wood grain works I have done. I have sealed an inked gourd with cold wax. Sealers will work just fine, just make sure to test first. The wood really soaks in the ink so if the sealer does have a solvent and the ink re activates, I doubt it will go far or even be very detectable. I use art resin to seal other ink works and would expect it to work well on wood as long as it is sanded smooth (before ink).

I just realized this is an old video, but posting my comment anyway. I am not a bubble fan! However, I have learned some tricks to avoid the bubble bath look. I only stir my resin in one direction, stirring steadily and not fast. I run a toothpick around the edges of the mold to release bubbles that have congregated before I put in the alcohol ink. I also run a heat gun, torch, or even a long BBQ lighter over my resin after I have poured it into the molds. It works great! If needed, I will do the same after I have put in the alcohol inks, which is not recommended because alcohol is flammable. So, disclaimer: follow Art Min with Lyn's recommendations. I have either been fortunate, or the amount of alcohol is not enough to cause a flame, especially with a heat gun. However, I have had a few melting instances by not paying close enough attention; I melted the edges of my molds or the wax paper I use to cover the table! I also use actual plastic Petri dishes and not silicon molds; that plastic melts very quickly, so I don't recommend a flame on those. I pour the resin into the Petri dishes, using the techniques she explains here; the Petri dishes become part of the resin and can not be removed after it is cured, but together, they make fun art. I was inspired by an artist, Kari Reis, who is fascinated with cells and biology and does large Petri dish, resin, and alcohol ink installations. She has a website, I do not think it is current, where she posts a resin and alcohol ink Petri dish art piece a day for a year; each one sells for lots of money. Not to take away from her creative and artistic ability, which I truly respect, I have seen her other work, but it is funny that people will pay so much $$ because those of us in the know understand that alcohol and resin together do most of the creative work. If you are in the SF Bay Area, she has an exhibit on every floor of the Kaiser Hospital in Redwood City; it was the highlight of my day getting to hobble past her bright, bold Petri dishes while in the hospital rehabbing my Achilles for two weeks, I got out and started a massive addiction to all things resin and ink related, Thanks, Art Min with lyn, for your vide; I love to learn about all the things you can do with resin and the fact that you really can not duplicate an ink and resin piece.

Oooo! This will be fun. Give the counter a good cleaning with the plain isopropyl alcohol first. This is a big project, so be sure to have plenty of ventilation, possibly wear a mask, and no animals in area. The vapors of the alcohol can be harmful and flammable, this becomes a big factor when working on larger areas indoors. I would also recommend testing the ink in a small area or on something of the same material, to see how it will flow on the surface of your counter. Enjoy your new colorful kitchen!

Either crackle paste or kroma crackle will be your best choice, the Jo Sonja is way too glossy. Crackle paste has a porous texture when dry, that after being painted would look very much like a paved road. Kroma on the other hand, would be great for dried up dirt road effects. Hope this helps!

Yes you can! You must make the surface smooth tho for them to have the flowing properties everyone loves. Many folks use KilZ a primer you can find at hardware and paint stores. This dries slick and smooth and will allow you to work on stretched canvas. Working with fire use caution as the ink burning is not always a visible flame.

@artminwithlynn4 ай бұрын
Adding lots of water greatly decreases the intensity of color. If that is desired then yes, but it does not need to soak in it, just dip. For really big stuff needing lots of liquid I recommend using a dye instead. You can just use more dye-na-flow but at a large scale, dye becomes more cost effective.

AI has a tendency to fade. Do you protect the finish with a UV protectant?
@artminwithlynn6 ай бұрын
Yes, all dyes will fade over time and AI will too as a result, most especially the pink, red, violet range. I certainly would recommend a UV protectant for fine art application. I use one made by Krylon but there are others out there as well. Of course, it depends on your project. I have shelves with AI that I did not use UV spray on and they are holding up very well with no fading over a few years time. The way the wood holds the dye in with it being so pourous really seems to mitigate fade.

@artminwithlynn6 ай бұрын
The benefit of the ink/dye over stain would be a larger color selection and control. If you are doing a bunch of wood, I would recommend Basic Dye from Jacquard products. If you are just doing one or two, the Alcohol Inks will work just fine. Most blank decks come sealed, so you will need to remove that by sanding first to really get the dye into the wood fibers, otherwise it won't saturate and the color will come off quickly. Roll on!

I have an M.A. in Art, Watercolor as a main medium and will use a "wet on wet. flowing, followed by "hard line" detail rendering, going from full strength and then followed with varied dilutions and blotting, texture rendering techniques. I have been inspired many times by common space shuttle photos from earth orbit, showing the African Delta, etc, etc with the vast, inter-twining rivers, cutting through the sand and jungle plains. You've probably seen them and the land and water texture, details and colors are just unbelievable eye candy. Thank You for adding to my pallet, great attitude and confirming my vision. This Samurai Katana will hopefully be a game changer when I exhibit all my customized swords in the spring. I have over 40 Samurai swords and re-work most of them in many different ways.

How long will the colour hold? I know with epoxies, the dyes in alcohol inks fade in months. Does it hold better on wood?
@artminwithlynn6 ай бұрын
I'll start by saying all dyes will fade most especially in direct UV exposure, dye is simply not lightfast. How much it fades will depend on the color you have used (some colors are more fugitive), how much you have diluted the color/dye, the quality of the dye, and how much UV the work will get over time. Using the inks on wood will be more lasting than in resin because the pigments are less fully exposed to UV. In this case they are all snugged up in the wood fiber. I like Pinata because of how concentrated they are. However, thin or diluted applications would fade more quickly across the board. There are UV protectors that you can apply to help as well. With that in mind, I would still not recommend putting these in direct sun and expect them to hold color over the years. Reds and any color that uses red ex: Pink...will fade quicker than any others.

Using the inks on wood will be more lasting than in resin because the pigments are less fully exposed to UV. In this case they are all snugged up in the wood fiber. I like Pinata because of how concentrated they are. However, thin or diluted applications would fade more quickly across the board. There are UV protectors that you can apply to help as well. With that in mind, I would still not recommend putting these in direct sun and expect them to hold color over the years. Reds and any color that uses red ex: Pink...will fade quicker than any others.
Ths was great! What kind of resin would you use? I’ve tried the Piñata varnish… what else can you seal with?
I use Art Resin and have a video on sealing with it and one on using the inks in it:) You can also use Kamar varnish to seal. It is a spray varnish most commonly used by oil painters. Hope this helps!
Lots of helpful tips here - thank you! 💙
