Hi, lovely video, thanks. For your first tile, what have you put on it before adding the alcohol ink?

[judithf]

This is gorgeous work, Madeleine, I love alcohol ink, still not very experienced. Are you using a tile here, that’s what it looks to me? I guess you can use a heat tool on tile much better than on paper(Yupo or others) because that could warp. My problem with the blower, I can’t use it too long it hurts my older hands 😔. So I mostly use a hairdryer, or actually it’s a curling blower without the attachments, you probably seen it, I’ve seen many people using it. The problem is sometimes it blows too hard (even on lower setting). My question is the heating tool is less powerful as far as blowing than the hair dryer, or is it the same? Also I assume it’s warmer than the hair dryer, so the ink and alcohol doesn’t dry too fast? Are you using it on paper too? I’m asking because I wanted to get a heating tool/gun i just don’t know if it’s very similar with the hair dryer than there is no point in buying one. Have you used an air compressor, I heard that’s better than a hair dryer or heat gun for certain thing, like blowing a flower. I don’t know if it’s true. Anyway, again your work is beautiful and you’re a very good teacher, would love 😊
