Mosaic Tile Alcohol Inks Technique on a Tumbler

What is up guys we got another Alcohol ink video tutorial trick that I'm going to show you today This oh hold on let me let me get my plate out of the way. I was eating some pop-tarts Mmm, s'mores pop-tarts Anyway, I've got this cup here. Let me get this one out of the way. That's another video Link right here when I get it wait. Where's my finger? there right here and Why are you waiting on this video? There's other videos up there, so It's just right here. They magically just stay right there that little eye Symbol you just click that and watch other videos. It's cool. It's really it's like magic so anyway. I got this cup here I Taped up the rim because it stays stainless It's based in white and I'm going to show you how to do like a mosaic tile alcohol ink cup and Let's go oh by the way I'm gonna tape it up. I'm using this automotive What I put it automotive green tape get from your automotive store and I'm gonna do a time-lapse because you don't want to see all that just Do some triangles however you want that's basically what I'm doing Okay, why you're enjoying this lovely time-lapse. I wanted to tell you that you can make your shapes Triangles you can make squares you can make them as big as you want you can make them as small as you want you Can use as much tape as you want just remember that we're gonna have to eventually take all this tape off So I got to a point where I was satisfied I liked how they looked and then I just rolled with it because this is your creation You could do the lines however you want because it's art and just have fun with it so onto the next step Alright, so now we got a cup all taped up with the triangles you like I hit it with another little dusting of white That way in the overlap the white spray paint would go under there and kind of seal it From the alcohol ain't getting under there So that's what we're gonna start with. I'm just gonna do blue Magenta and purple is my idea for my mosaic colors And I'll use a foam brush and I'll show you how that's done So let's start with the blue Take a little bit of blue. I know it's got some yellow on it, but it won't come off. I don't think We'll see just dribble it on there. I'm just gonna kind of Dab it around it does mix it turned green. Okay, I'm gonna pause for a minute Well, I'm gonna find another one of these that is kind of a sick color I think I'll put it in a few spots though since it's there. It's really cool looking. I Kind of like it yeah, that's pretty It's a nice color actually It's really cool. Okay, maybe we might keep going with that Happy little accidents. I like it Looks good. It's neat It's a cool color so basically, you're just gonna do whatever colors you want around the whole thing and Till you're satisfied. This is another one of those things. You're just free to do it. However you want to It's not really look at that pretty blue that's nice starting to get more Blue than the green because I had yellow on here. I'm not really sure where that come from I may have had One of my other many experiments still on this foam brush. There's the only foam brush I could find so Sometimes that that's the best way to To figure out something unexpectedly That is beautiful. I love that color blue and green like a Tealy colors my favorite kind of color anyway So I'm just kind of Just putting it wherever I feel like putting it be honest with you Well here a little there this stuff And I thought links are so much fun to use. I don't know where they've been my whole life But I have found them now Now I'll never let them go. I'm just kidding. Not really. That's fun. It's fun You should try it if you you're watching this video and you enjoy it And you think that would be fun then you would be right because it is So we're gonna basically have a bunch of all this Around the whole cup, whatever colors you want to you're happy and let's cut to the time-lapse While you're enjoying this little time-lapse here I wanted to take a minute to give you a pro tip and that is the dryer you brush on these alcohol inks the less Likely it is to bleed under your tape lines and not that that's a big deal I had some bleed under as you'll see at the end and I think it turned out great So, all right So now that we've got a cup almost covered if you'll notice I didn't cover all the spots and you don't have to you could do it if you want to but the next Thing we're gonna do is I got a bottle with regular rubbing alcohol Let's turn it this way angle it towards me With the mist will you be still? Okay, hang on There we go with the mist on really fine, whoops Hope that didn't get on anything over there much With the mist set really fine and we're gonna hold it back. I'm about a Foot and a half two feet up above it. Let me get a light here and I'm just gonna mist it Well, hold on. Let me plug up my Sorry plug that. Let's see. Yeah, this is a heat gun. You use a hairdryer heat gun Or whatever so what you want to do is you're gonna mist it then you're gonna take your hairdryer Okay, wow that heat gun is super loud So I'm just gonna opt to do a voiceover instead of blowing you guys's eardrums out. Okay, you're welcome for that But anyway, what you're basically doing is you're spraying with a little rubbing alcohol. You're blowing it around with a Now I'm using a heat gun and Preferably you probably would want to use a hairdryer or something that doesn't get so hot because the heat gun actually dries the alcohol inks Instead of moving around as well is don't get me wrong. It's still moved around as you can see right here There's some cool things happening But I feel like with a hairdryer would have moved it around more instead of drying it so fast But Also what I learned the really key thing would be to do all this at one time Because I did all of my cup first and it dried by the time I got to this step It didn't want to move around as easily Now if I would have done this during the painting process like you just seen the time-lapse for it would have moved around way easier and also another thing that would have made this move around a little easier is if you took a Dropper and they have this thing called blending solutions blending alcohol ink solution, which I do not have but that would have that that's the look I was going for with that, but What you're basically doing now see here. I use magenta because that is the lightest color and it doesn't Get too dark going over everything else you still see that magenta pop color coming through so that's why I chose magenta so if you're doing this use like the lightest color of your choice to if you have to fill in some areas and Then spray it before it dries and move it around with the heat gun And let me show you real quick what I'm looking for and what you should be looking for Let me cut to this clip. It's a really good visual on this Somebody's having a great time So I'm just going around looking at my white spots getting them covered up All right, I like that pretty good. Let's make sure I got everything There's one spot I didn't get The bottom wow that made this cup hot. Let's move you up a little bit so you can see that See how my setup back there So let's go ahead and Put a little bit more Pink there magenta, which is actually it's mixed with the blue. That's why I said I would like to have more than One two brushes however many colors I'm going to use so many brushes. I would like to use I couldn't find them so Let's see. Let's mess it around for Well, mr. Quits keeps quitting working And I like to dot it and leave it so I'm gonna sit it up so Don't soak it so that it runs. Just do it so it can leave some dots But you'll see the effect we're going for here. You might have seen those little Tiles people like to use they use them as coasters or something There's one this kind of like the look we're going for for a cup our tumbler I Think that will do the trick. We're gonna let that dry and we're gonna come back and see how our mosaic came out All right, we are back. I just went to dinner Got my belly full Gave this plenty enough time to dry We're gonna remove our triangle tape lines But if we take our tape off and it bled a little bit, I don't think that's gonna be a problem It might actually look pretty cool So far, it's looking pretty crazy. I like it pretty good So I'm just gonna continue taking all my tape off and then we'll take a look at it and see how it looks Man, so I really like this. I like how the Bleeding under doesn't bother me Especially like look at that where that come through where the overlap it makes it look like this white line is going over This line and that's really cool. It does that all over the place. It gives it depth and dimension and when I put the Resin over it. I think it's gonna make it look even deeper. So and those colors are really crazy. They're super bright And I think I'm happy with that. So we're gonna resin that Sticking on the Turner and I'll let you see what that looks like when we come back This is our finished product and I'm really happy with the way this come out There's so much interest in things and colors to look at and to be honest. I was going for a clean white Kind of grout line Mosaic tile look but I really don't mind the little bleed throughs that we have That's why I didn't worry about cleaning it up Because one thing it looks like where the tape overlaps and goes over and under that's kind of cool in my opinion and I'm okay with that. And by the way, this is art You're gonna be able to use it and drink is fully functional and it's a really cool conversational piece somebody come up to you and be like man, where'd you get that cup? I made that so It's really cool to be able to say that look at that. That's like an ocean or something I really love those love those colors in there. Can you see that? It's not picking up on the camera I don't know, but yeah, these little dots of color Coming through on the bleed under I I mean, like I said, I don't mind it it took me a while to get to the place where I didn't mind stuff like that because I had a problem with being a perfectionist and It got me nowhere. I was not productive I couldn't get anything done because I never finished anything because I was always Picking at it and picking at it and now I've just learned to love the process and appreciate things for their flaws and Just like us as people. So there's your life lesson for the day Go ahead and subscribe to this channel get more cool stuff like this. I got some more stuff There's actually something right off camera spinning right there You can't see that and I'm not gonna show you because you have to wait for the next video after this one So what's my finger doing? I don't know But anyway, click the like button hit the subscribe and be sure to wait for my next coming videos and watch my previous ones You know, look at that. That's really that's pretty sick. It's kind of like bubbles. It's flat. It's not bubbles It's just the way that alcohol ain't when we sprayed it. I really like that too. So Goodbye
