- Thanks so much for watching you guys. I really hope you enjoy this video where I'm working with alcohol inks on raw polymer clay. Once cured the piece has been coated with Kato Liquid Clay. You can find my tutorial about "Curing Kato Liquid Clay" on my website: www.debbiecroth...
I love watching your videos, thank you so much for sharing. Alcohol Ink on polymer lay is one of my favorite techniques. I often use mica powder but I never thought to sue foil. Can't wait to try!
Hi Gillian, thanks so much for your beautiful comment - I honestly appreciate it so much. Hope you have fun trying the foils. And yes, alcohol ink on polymer is pretty awesome hey!!
Wonderful playful process. It's mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I’ve just started playing with clay and came across your videos via Pinterest, so I searched CZcams. Your work is absolutely beautiful. This video concerned me because of the alcohol ink. I’ve been using these inks for a few years, and there are safety precautions that should be considered. The fumes can be dangerous long term, especially for people with lung conditions. I always use a respirator mask and an ink blower instead of a straw. Apart from the safety issues, your flower looks beautiful 😍
Hi Cara, thanks for your comment - I really appreciate it. I created this video 4 years ago befand was unaware of any safety concerns back then. I'll make sure to go and put a safety warning in the description (which I should have done ages ago). Thanks again.
@@debbiecrothers1 no worries. I wasn’t trying to come across in the wrong way. It’s just concern for people just starting out.
I love your work, it’s very unique. Will have to try kato clay, I noticed that Riot now stock it. I live rural and rely on online shopping mostly. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I’m going to work on pods today. ✌️❤️
@@carrma57 oh absolutely honey - I never thought you were coming off the wrong way. It's something I should have thought of ages ago and didn't. I'm so glad you like my work - thank you - that's so kind. Yes Kato clay is one of my faves and unfortunately has had a bit of a bad wrap with some of the new generation of clayers. It has a completely different conditioning process which is why I created a tutorial on how to condition it. It's a perfect clay for the climate I live in and for the processess I like to use - especially shaping those pods. Thanks honey - take care xx
That was an excellent video, you are clear with the demonstration, wording, covering the materials, everything. And I can't thank you enough for sharing. It gave me quite the inspiration.
Thanks so much Pam, I really appreciate it ♥♥
You are always such a pleasure and inspiration! ThankYou! I needed to get my mind off of some stressful situations and thought about the new Debbie Crothers tutorials I had recently saved, YAY!!😘
aww thanks Debi, such a lovely comment. xx
OMG, I think I could make these all day! It was very calming to watch you make them. Thanks so much for sharing!
aww thanks Rhonda, what a lovely thing to say. It's my pleasure. x
Beautiful! I'm so glad I found your tutorials and I really appreciate your generosity! I've been working in polymer clay for 10 years and always love learning new things. I started working with AI about 5 years ago and was just too intimidated. Then after all this time came across your tutorials earlier this year. I bounce back and forth between different polymer clay techniques and eventually come back to AI. Thank you again!
Hey Cynthia, so sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks for your lovely comment, I really appreciate it. Alcohol inks are so incredibly gorgeous aren't they - I always keep coming back to them too. Happy creating. xx
Absolutely stunning! I adore your eye for color, light and shadow, dear artist. Thank you, Debbie🙌
Wow huge thanks Laurie, I really appreciate it.
Your pieces turned out so fabulous. Alcohol inks is not something that I’ve done much with, other then to colour clay. You really peek my interest with your tutorials! Thank you so much for your great teaching! 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Thanks heaps Donna, so glad you like this one and so honoured to read your comment, how beautiful. Hope you have a great day xx
Thanks so much for the terrific tutorial! Awesome!

Makes me remember of the Ink blot test love it
oh yes of course it does, thanks Debora
Love your experimenting!
thanks so much Peaches, this one was lots of fun I must admit. x
Amazing demo. Thanks for sharing.
you are more than welcome honey
Beautiful Debbie!!! I love what you create...your videos are so well done interesting and so enjoyable. I hope you continue making them as I for one soon appreciate your ideas and knowledge. Love your accent as well! ;-)
what a beautiful comment, thank you so much.
Hi JC! Thanks so much for your great comment and you know it makes me so happy to know you enjoy the tutorials. I love making so them so I'm sure there'll be more in the future. Isn't it funny - I don't think I have an accent hahaha
Wonderful tutorial as always - thank you. 💕💜💕
Thanks so much Jane
Love your creativity. Just making sure I understand... so you let the alcohol inks dry on the raw clay, then fire once - please say how long you put them in for. Then you coat them once or twice with liquid polymer clay and fire again - for how long please. Thank you, your fan
Hey SG, so sorry for the late reply. Yes you're understanding correctly. I'm letting the inks dry then cure in the oven. I then add two coats of kato liquid clay (one at a time) and I cure with a heat gun as this is a curved surface. I have a tutorial on my website (it's a paid one) which explains the complete curing process of kato liquid clay on 3 dimensional objects which includes lots of troubleshooting tips, what to do and what not to do etc etc. My website is www.debbiecrothers.comCan't thank you enough for your support SG xxx
Great tutorial Debbie 👍🏻
thanks so much
Love yr work! And what a gracious thotful teacher! Question: what’s the difference between blender and straight alcohol?
aww thanks heaps. I've used blending solution mixed with alcohol ink in this tutorial to allow the inks to flow easier. If you simply drop alcohol ink on to the surface of raw polymer clay it won't flow. You could alternatively add blending solution to the raw clay prior to dropping on your inks but this product dries very quickly so you need to work fast. I foung using blending solution/alcohol ink mix was just another way to apply the inks. Hope that helps. ♥
Awesome 👍🏻😍
thanks so much xx
Thank you very much!
My pleasure Nina. xx
nice vid. thanks for sharing. Your voice made me think of Wentworth which made me think of Bea and now I'm sad.
oh my gosh of course, Wentworth - awesome show. Don't be sad, just play with some clay :) xx
Lovely, lovely pendant!
IDEA:
If you had applied too much alcohol ink in one spot, I wonder if you could do this? Sometimes water color artists will use a brush with just water on it to lift up or remove colors, too much colors, sometimes. I wonder if that would work on this??
oh my gosh, I'm so bad at technology and have only just found all these messages. I'm so sorry. Yes, you could definitely remove alcohol ink if the colours are too heavy in one spot. I would probably use a baby wipe to dab lightly on the surface you want the ink removed. There are other ways to do it but this is probably the easiest. Thanks so much for getting in touch x
Can this process be used on baked clay? Your tutorials are so cool, I love the freeness of not worrying about perfection. Thanks much.
Hey Gloria, you know I haven't tried on cured clay but I'm sure you could get it to work. I like to use raw clay that way I can manipulate the veneer any way I want to and create 3 dimensional objects. So glad you like the tutorials, huge thanks. x
How fun 😀
thanks heaps Donna ♥
Love your videos! Do you bake the polymer clay & alcohol ink in your home oven?
Hey Brenda, thanks heaps...so happy to hear you like the videos. I have a dedicated oven for polymer clay which I've been using for a long time now. I would suggest if you're going to be doing LOTS of polymer clay it would be beneficial to get a little bench top oven (if budget allows) otherwise it's quite okay to use your home oven. There's plenty of info online about how to do it. Thanks again x
Very nice tutorial! I have a stupid question, though. I hope you don't think it's too stupid---I am just a beginner. Do you bake the clay right on the light bulb? If so, is it easy to get off afterwards?
Hey Janet, so sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Not a stupid question at all (in fact there are never any stupid questions), yes I cure right on the light bulb itself. It should just pop straight off once cured and cool. I would suggest letting it cool completely before trying to get it off - polymer is at it's weakest when still warm. Thanks so much for getting in touch.
Beautiful
thanks so much Peggy x
Do you bake after applying kato liquid to seal? And also for how long and what temperature?
I actually cure my Kato Liquid Clay completely with a heat gun. It's a little complex if you're just starting. I actually have a paid tutorial on my website with complete instructions (plus more info) on how to coat and cure a 3d piece with kato liquid clay and a heat gun.
Enhorabuena por tu trabajo, me parece excelente. Quisiera saber si el tutorial que tienes de "curing Kato líquid clay"
lo tienes en español porque quisiera comprarlo y si explicas cómo aplicarlo a piezas curvas. Espero tu respuesta. Gracias!
Thanks so much for your kind words. Unfortunately the tutorial about curing kato liquid clay is in English. I'm so sorry!!!
what type of foil do you use? and do you have a tutorial about Kayto liquid and heat gun? Thank you for the lovely tutorial.
Hey Matana, I like to use Lisa Pavelka foils as they're the ones I have the most success with. And yes I do have a tutorial for curing kato liquid clay with a heat gun. You can find it on my website at debbiecrothers.com. Many thanks xx
Il est genial cet effet je l ai aussi fait en videol année dernière.
oh really, I had no idea...I haven't seen it to be honest. We were talking about this in our facebook group so I decided to give it a try. I would love to see your video on this one.
@@debbiecrothers1 no problem ! Surtout que je trouve tres honnêtement que votre résultat est meilleur 😉. J aime beaucoup votre chaîne ❤❤
well that's a lovely thing to say - huge thanks. xxx
Major coolioness
So glad you think so, huge thanks x
Thank you so much for sharing this. Do you think i can use resin as an alternative to kato liquid clay?
Hi Maricar, absolutely although you would need to remember to work on a flat piece. Kato liquid is great for using on domed pieces as well as flat. Huge thanks by the way x
Hi can you do this in baked clay to. 😊
Hey Deb, yes you can use alcohol ink on cured clay although this particular process could prove a little tricky. I haven't tried on cured before but by all means give it a go and see how you get on.
Enjoyed the video Debbie. Beginning question, do you put the light bulb with the clay circle in the oven to cure? And it is ok at the oven temps?
Hey Melody, yes the light bulbs are fine to cure in the oven with the clay. I checked with an electrician before I did anything.....and huge thanks.
Debbie Crothers Thanks so much Debbie! So appreciate your response. You're the best!
my absolute pleasure Melody xx
Hey Melody, so glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I cured on the light globe - if you're concerned about that you can always use a bowl or something with a similar curved shape to cure your work on.
Try canned air, much easier than a straw x
well have never heard of that to be honest Fran. I'll be sure to look it up if I plan on doing any more. Thanks.
🙂
You should try using permanent markers instead of alcohol ink because permanent markers contain just alcohol ink.
Hi Adrienne, thanks for getting in touch. I'm not sure I understand what the benefits of using the permanent marker is rather than bottled alcohol ink? I would have to pull the marker apart to access the alcohol ink to then drop onto the surface of the clay - that seems a little more messy than simply using the bottled stuff. Would to have your thoughts as to why the markers would work better. Thanks again
So you just put that foil on, do you burnish it then rip it off?
hey Tamara, yes that's pretty much the technique for using foils. They can be tricky and they don't all work so just keep that in mind.
Wawwwwww thank you
my absolute pleasure
I tried Fimo glaze on alcohol ink and it ruined the color. Would other glazes work after the clay is cured?
Absolutely Nancy. I like to use Kato liquid clay for all my surface finishing, it works beautifully and seals everything in incredibly well.
How you seal this?
Hi Jelena, I use Kato liquid clay to seal this piece. I have a tutorial on my website which shows how to work with kato liquid on 3 dimensional surfaces. www.debbiecrothers.com/product/curing-kato-liquid-clay-and-so-much-more-with-debbie-crothers
What kind of foil is this and where does one get it?
This one is a Lisa Pavelka foil (copper) and I got this particular one from Lisa Lambright from ILove2Craft or The Great Create in Denver. Lisa is the distributor for LP products.
This video doesn’t show how to add the gold/copper leaf. A very important part! 17:10
Hi Dottie, start at 16.04. I've explained the process in detail and showed how I created the foil top. Thanks
ما نوع الالوان
Huge thanks x
Marvelous! Thank you!
you're very welcome Carma x
