Hello my dear!! You NAILED it and you put sooooo much more effort into it than I did that I could not stop staring st the screen! So far I totally failed at using skins but now I will challenge myself for the next year to come up with something as pretty. You did remarkably and the ornaments turned out super pretty!! For your concern about the video length...not a deal at all. I felt entertained all way through and did not mind that time. Thanks for your time and effort and for afterall making me feel bad not having tried harder on my attempt 😂😂 😂
This was a blast to do Michael so I am glad that you challenged me. I was admittedly scared at first, but it has opened me up to so many other things. I am just delighted that you liked the final result and I'm happy too that the video length was ok. I doubt I'll make more that long though... Editing it took soooooooo long! About your "skin" failure... Um, you might want to practice a little ... There might be one on the endlessly difficult final exam of ... Oh wait... No... I meant the little itty bitty baby challenge I'm giving you in a couple of weeks... No really it'll be a breeze... A short walk in the park... NOT!!! 😂😄 Many hugs my friend... You are making TH-cam all the more fun!!😘😘
oh yes if there was not that editing part...the earth editing started at 7 in the morning with doing the voiceover and finally done to be rendered it was about 10...for a 15 minute video...I thought it will get better once I get a feeling for it BUT it doesn't as more and more ideas pop into ones mind to include which makes it take even longer *rolling eyes*....but well...it's fun and people love it :)
It's nice to know I'm not alone in my editing box of horrors. It took me two days to edit that 32 minute thing... I was soooooo sick of hearing myself talk!! 😄😂 I totally relate to the hope that it would get easier only to find out it doesn't. In a way it's good that I'm limited to what my old iPod can do because if I had "serious" equipment I'd be way more creative with the videos and that would just take longer! 😄 I still have to try a voiceover just to see if it could help. If people only knew! 😊
I could listen to your monologue all day and night. When you got tickled and let out a few laughs and cackles, I broke out laughing myself at how much fun you had with yourself. You always make my day, adorable lady!
OH MY GOODNESS. Ok. so I found you while researching alcohol ink art, which I've become crazed about. Now you show me THIS?! Woman, you're going to get me divorced - LOL! My Amazon cart keeps growing. I need to look into this "skins" stuff. I'm thinking, could you do alcohol ink on dried acrylic skin? Could you imagine the awesome nail designs you could do?! Holy cow... soooo excited. Thank you so much for filming your work, honestly and without apology... It is very helpful for us newbies. ♥
Myriam!!! I just found your channel and WOW!!! You blew me away!! You got yourself a new Subscriber, and I feel like I have a new friend!!! Not only do I love your art, but I love your sweet, fun personality!!! I am so loving the paint pour ornaments!!! OMG they are so beautiful!!! But I was wondering what to do with all the leftovers, and boy have you inspired me!!! I’m thrilled that I found your Channel and I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials!! Have a wonderful day! 🙏♥️
Glorious! For ornaments with partial external coverage, consider coating the interior of the ball with paint ... white, black, or a pretty metallic that works well with the exterior skin. My head IS spinning with possibilities! Bless you for the inspiration.
My husband just popped in to see what I was watching and he was mesmerized by what you were doing. Then before heading out to go fishing he said, "Wow, there's a lot of really talented people out there!" Neither of us are artists but enjoy those who create and teach others so generously. Thank you for sharing and maybe one day he and I could try this together. God Bless
Once more you didn’t disappoint! Love your ideas and the results you get. But most of all I enjoy your presentation ! You are easy to watch and learn from. A born teacher if there ever was one!
Those are some classy looking ornaments ! Love your creativity . I think those skins would look pretty around some empty wine bottles too for pretty vases or jars for pretty keepsakes. You have a very nice style with your videos Myriam !
You are starting to be in my head Parker... That (the vase) is one of my planned projects!! I like your wine bottle idea and really love the keepsake jar too! Thank you for your continued kind encouragement and support. It means a lot!
Hi Myriam, Thank you for the information and loved your video with tips and techniques. I'm now anxiously waiting for my husband to finish putting the flooring down in my basement craft room so I can try out some of these beautiful projects!!!!!
I just joined your channel because a polymer clay artist mentioned you. Love the fractuals and now am going to have to watch the rest of your videos. Your ornaments are beautiful!
These are wonderful! I made ornaments many moons ago for my family by pouring it in the ornament swirling it and letting it drip out but these are WOW!
Hi Myriam...I'm Miriam. I love, love, love your videos. Your personality shines through and your laugh is contagious. Thank you for the tutorials. I so enjoy them!
Very nice to meet you Miriam!! 😀 I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying the channel... Thank you for taking time to tell me and for really making me smile! 😊💕
I just love your videos. 😁 So relaxed feeling, like a couple of neighbors drinking coffee showing how you made the ornaments sitting out from the night before. Beautiful work. I must challange myself to a challenge now. You and Michael have inspired me. 😋
Love your art & your teaching style. You seem to anticipate questions and cover everything in your tutorials. Looking forward to trying out your ideas. 🤗
Oh, my! I have never seen these "skins" before so this entire video was a revelation to me! How awesome! You made it so clear and did such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
As I sit here and pick my jaw up off of the floor, my mind is going a mile a minute with ideas!! I had a dialog going in side of my head with you, just so you know ;) It's just SO exciting to watch and learn from you!! Opening one of your videos is like opening a very precious present. Thank you!!
Blew that challenge out of the water! That was wonderful! I am trying this... Have I got ideas starting to form! You are such fun to listen to, and clearly explain each process. Thank You Soooooo much!
These are awesome! About 16 yrs ago I took clear or frosted ornaments and poured craft paint inside and swirled it around inside it to marble the paint they turned out fantastic💜 Thanks for sharing 🤗
Hi Maxine… I’ll certainly be doing more with skins, but in the meantime here are two videos where I used the skins in unexpected ways: th-cam.com/video/RWACMicNGug/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/2NX3wHhCzDg/w-d-xo.html I hope that you enjoy them. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Omgracious! Just got to finish video and I LOVE LOVE love the blue with shimmer within..OH WOW! go figure LOLOL LOLOL blue and white my fav colors! And Michael would agree I'm sure..you naked the challenge! WAHOO
You are so seriously talented! What makes it even more amazing is the fact that you share your God given talent and blessing with others! Thank you so much. 💓
I have always had to use a razor blade to get the skin off. Also if its been on there for a bit longer, you sometimes have to soak them in water. But that also creates wrinkles. You can smooth them out most the time. Im just lettinh you all know its not ALWAYS simple. These are some of the things ya need to know. Also you have to have floetrol in the paint because that gives it the elastic which make sit pliable. Ok ? Ok then , get with it ! She does a great job with hers. Very beautifully done
Awwww ... I'm really happy to hear that Elizabeth. We've been having a blast getting to know each other. He is so genuine, kind and talented. We've got a lot planned for you all! 😊💕
Hi Myriam, I just love this video, Christmas is the best holiday ever. All of your ornaments came out great, I would use everyone of them on my tree. I have not done a pour yet just for skins. That will be totally new to me. But, really I just started getting in the pouring thing, so it will be a while before I start doing skins. But when I am ready, I know where to go to learn. Right to you, my friend. Thank you for the lesson. I really love watching and learning from you. You have not been on in a few weeks, I hope everything is okay. Miss you.
I loved these, I was making them way back in 1995> did trial and error then took this to my sons class so we could make them for their families :) But I poured the paints and super fine glitter on the inside :P, Myriam...I find myself smiling all the way through your videos you bring a lot of joy to the world
very lovely demo. I am going to try again today. I got new acrylic ink and Bombay ink. I tried my hardest on the first dendrite demo. o could not get anything to work so now with new products and fresh alcohol I'm going to give it another try. if it comes out I'll try and post a picture for you if not.. you'll hear screams from the high desert in California
My fingers are so crossed for you Onna. The ink and alcohol part is pretty much the same for everyone... What can vary is the white paint. Make sure it's thinned to about the consistency of maple syrup and spread out evenly before trying to make fractals. What I do to check is put down a tiny amount of the white paint mix (the size of a quarter ) and try to make a fractal on it. If it works I know I'm ready to proceed with more paint. I eagerly await your results. 😊💕 Good luck!!
your ornaments are beautiful! I will have to start making skins for ornaments and do them throughout the year for next years gifts. thank you so much for the idea's.
I love your humor! Clicked for the fractals, thank you for saving me hours searching through your videos to find links to them. These would be gorgeous in an iridescent white paint too. Only fractals I've made were in Corel Photo-Paint 8 using the Julia fractal plugin.
Fantastic, due to you doing this so amazingly......I need to have a go, they looked like fantastic snowflakes on the first one, the second was like marble the last was like cutting gem stone in half then polishing it, they were all beautiful. Thank you for all of this.....hopefully at least one tree in my house in the Uk will be with baubles made like this.......only thing I can’t think of using is the freezer paper you used, I’ve never seen it over here, or the tinsel stuff you used, we as far as I’ve seen only have strings of tinsel, totally different! any ideas welcome! You nailed this a definite winner. My mind is racing now...I’ve just liked, subbed and shared Hugs xxxAnnxxx
Your ornaments are gorgeous. I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art! And thanks too for the detail hints on how to do these things without ripping them up or wrecking things
Oh this was such fun! Yes, you really must do more projects where the spectre of Perfectionism doesn't cast a long shadow over your shoulder. :) I find it hard to decide which ornament I like best. I'm torn between the copper + gold one, and the blue one. Lovely.
Hi, Myriam. Thanks so much for writing back - and so quickly too! I really appreciate it. I am not sure what you mean by writing in a new stream. If this isn't it, please let me know how to do it so it will be easier for you. I actually have seen both of the 2 videos more than twice. I agree with you. I don't think it's the acrylic inks. I do think it's the white paint, and it also may be that the point on my squeeze bottle is too wide and as you mentioned, the amount of alcohol is too much to make the fractals. BTW, I am using 91% isopropyl alcohol. It's funny, we all have our challenges. I had no trouble getting cells and I know some people did. I am having trouble getting fractals and others don't. I am going to get some tiles and try them. I am not one to give up. I am interested in doing so many different things! I will come back to this. I am a member of a painting group that meets twice a week. We work on our own things and in our chosen mediums (or is it media?) I am working in oils and have been painting landscapes. At home, in my studio, I have been working in acrylics and have been pouring and also painting night scenes as wells as galaxies and nebulae! I watch LOTS of videos on these various techniques and I am blown away by how many talented people there really are, all over the world! You are not only talented but are a very giving person and you are an excellent teacher! Your sense of humour shines through as you instruct and it makes the experience so delightful! I will keep you posted on my endeavours as I continue to watch yours! Thanks again for all you do for us. It really makes this fun adventure even better! 😊🎨
Hi Gail... This new comment was exactly what I meant. 😊 I loved reading this ... Thank you. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to "meet" so many wonderful creatives by having this channel and I'm excited that this journey has really just begun. I love knowing that you're an adventurous painter willing to try many things. I look forward to hearing where your playing leads! 😊💕
Ha... I was the same way! It's like chips... You can't just have one. After a while you start looking at things and thinking "hmmm, I wonder if I can pour on THAT??” 😀 Thank you Gerry. I wish you continued fun.
Beautiful! We think alike, and I use the Krylon spray also, so I'm on the right track. So many good tips. This is my first time learning about acrylic "skins" as well. How fun!!!
I'm new to your channel & fluid painting & I have to say YOU have simply the best channel going. Your wonderful way of teaching & sharing is the best. Your ideas look marvelous to try. So glad I found your channel
Oh my gosh... thank you ever so much Bonnie! 💕 I'm also glad that you found the channel ! Welcome! I hope that you'll find the videos useful (and hopefully a little fun 😉).
Myriam with a "y", when I watch your videos, I feel like I am with a long time friend and feel relaxed. Thank you for sharing. Sending you prayers and Christmas Holiday happiness!
What a lovely and kind thing to say ... Thank you Pamela!! Viewers like you make this all the more rewarding! Merry Merry Christmas and may the New Year be a blessed one for you and yours. 😘💕
These are extraordinary! What a wonderful way to use acrylic skins. I love listening to you and your hints as you are working are so helpful. Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous. Your knowledge of and experience with the various mediums is really wonderful. I am learning so much from your videos. And you have so many great ideas.
I have several "skin" projects in the pipeline. I need a few more supplies and things first, but I think they'll be fun 😃! Thank you for the thoughtful comment Kathy!
I just discovered you recently and every video is imparts an abundance of new information. Thank you. The Q I have is, why alcohol. I know some use glue because it binds the paint but I missed the part on why alcohol. Thank you in advance.
First of all thank you so much for your kind comment… I’m really happy that the channel is proving useful. I only used alcohol when making the fractals. It has nothing to do with helping the paint bind or be thinned in this case… It’s just what causes the fractals to form when mixed with the inks. I hope that helps a bit. 😊💕
Oh my gosh, I missed this comment until today Christine... Thank you so much. I hope that your Christmas was lovely and that your New Year is full of blessings, love and laughter! 🎄💕🎉😘
I had bought these flat ornaments probably 4 yrs ago. I've still done nothing with them. This is amazing and my ornaments are going to be phenomenal :)
Myriam I'm a new sub and I just gotta tell you I love e watching your videos. You have a wonderful personality and are a true joy to watch! You make things fun and exciting. I'm so glad I found your channel. Can't wait to see what you do next. Thank You so much for sharing your creativity with us!
Oh my gosh... thank you Rachel! It is a joy to share with such amazing people. Welcome to the channel. I'm hoping that you will find the videos useful. 😊

Awwww, thank you so very much for that Sheila... You really made me smile... and giggle! 😊💕
Oh! The copper! It made a rose! For just one second! Lovely ornaments.
OH MY GOODNESS. Ok. so I found you while researching alcohol ink art, which I've become crazed about. Now you show me THIS?! Woman, you're going to get me divorced - LOL!

You are so hilarious, and your crafts are gorgeous. I have never laughed so hard as I did watching this video. I am a lifetime subscriber. Thank you.
Just seen this and loved watching. I would love to see more of what you do with your skins.
Hi Maxine… I’ll certainly be doing more with skins, but in the meantime here are two videos where I used the skins in unexpected ways: th-cam.com/video/RWACMicNGug/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/2NX3wHhCzDg/w-d-xo.html I hope that you enjoy them. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
YOU WIN‼️ Your ornaments are INSPIRED. I say you not only met the CHALLENGE, you EXCEEDED
Oh thank you so much Wanda (psst, we won't tell Michael 😉💕😄
Omgracious! Just got to finish video and I LOVE LOVE love the blue with shimmer within..OH WOW! go figure LOLOL LOLOL blue and white my fav colors! And Michael would agree I'm sure..you naked the challenge! WAHOO
Thanks ever so much Kathleen!😊💕
Excellent video! Thank you for the inspiration, I'm going to use skins to make some refrigerator magnets.
Stunning. You make it look so easy.
This is so wonderful I saved the video and now I’m watching again in June! Thank you Myriam!!
I love the way they look. I also like the one stuffed with the tinsel. Very nice.
Love the gold swirl...I bet it would look so pretty on a small flat purse or wallet❤ looks like fun
You are so seriously talented! What makes it even more amazing is the fact that you share your God given talent and blessing with others! Thank you so much. 💓
You are both skilled and highly entertaining. Thanks for a great video
They are all beautiful
I have always had to use a razor blade to get the skin off. Also if its been on there for a bit longer, you sometimes have to soak them in water. But that also creates wrinkles.

Very creative...who’d have thought the skins could be used this way 👏
Thank you for the wonderful advice: No poopy dots... 😄
This is just beautiful. So much fun!🎉
I love your humor!
Clicked for the fractals, thank you for saving me hours searching through your videos to find links to them.

Michael should be quaking in his boots... So Pretty and looks like so much fun.
Colleen.
Love the gold the most, but they are all just so unique. You are so talented.
Thank you so much for sharing they are awesome 👌 and some great ideas
Fantastic, due to you doing this so amazingly......I need to have a go, they looked like fantastic snowflakes on the first one, the second was like marble the last was like cutting gem stone in half then polishing it, they were all beautiful. Thank you for all of this.....hopefully at least one tree in my house in the Uk will be with baubles made like this.......only thing I can’t think of using is the freezer paper you used, I’ve never seen it over here, or the tinsel stuff you used, we as far as I’ve seen only have strings of tinsel, totally different! any ideas welcome! You nailed this a definite winner. My mind is racing now...I’ve just liked, subbed and shared Hugs xxxAnnxxx
Absolutely beautiful
Your ornaments are gorgeous. I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art! And thanks too for the detail hints on how to do these things without ripping them up or wrecking things
Oh this was such fun! Yes, you really must do more projects where the spectre of Perfectionism doesn't cast a long shadow over your shoulder. :)
I find it hard to decide which ornament I like best. I'm torn between the copper + gold one, and the blue one. Lovely.
Thank you so much Kerr. I was concerned it might be too long. It is really comforting to hear it was well received... Thank you again, as always! 😊💕
Frankly, I didn't notice how long it was.
Hi, Myriam. Thanks so much for writing back - and so quickly too! I really appreciate it. I am not sure what you mean by writing in a new stream. If this isn't it, please let me know how to do it so it will be easier for you. I actually have seen both of the 2 videos more than twice. I agree with you. I don't think it's the acrylic inks. I do think it's the white paint, and it also may be that the point on my squeeze bottle is too wide and as you mentioned, the amount of alcohol is too much to make the fractals. BTW, I am using 91% isopropyl alcohol.
It's funny, we all have our challenges. I had no trouble getting cells and I know some people did. I am having trouble getting fractals and others don't. I am going to get some tiles and try them. I am not one to give up. I am interested in doing so many different things! I will come back to this. I am a member of a painting group that meets twice a week. We work on our own things and in our chosen mediums (or is it media?) I am working in oils and have been painting landscapes. At home, in my studio, I have been working in acrylics and have been pouring and also painting night scenes as wells as galaxies and nebulae! I watch LOTS of videos on these various techniques and I am blown away by how many talented people there really are, all over the world! You are not only talented but are a very giving person and you are an excellent teacher! Your sense of humour shines through as you instruct and it makes the experience so delightful! I will keep you posted on my endeavours as I continue to watch yours! Thanks again for all you do for us. It really makes this fun adventure even better! 😊🎨
Hi Gail... This new comment was exactly what I meant. 😊 I loved reading this ... Thank you. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to "meet" so many wonderful creatives by having this channel and I'm excited that this journey has really just begun. I love knowing that you're an adventurous painter willing to try many things. I look forward to hearing where your playing leads! 😊💕
WOW! I'd been wondering what the heck was the fascination with this pour stuff....well now I am majorly hooked!! Love it and your presentations.
Ha... I was the same way! It's like chips... You can't just have one. After a while you start looking at things and thinking "hmmm, I wonder if I can pour on THAT??” 😀 Thank you Gerry. I wish you continued fun.
Really gorgeous ornaments
Thank you Laura!
Myriam, so glad I found you. It is wonderful watching & learning from you. Greetings from Victorville, California.
Beautiful! We think alike, and I use the Krylon spray also, so I'm on the right track. So many good tips. This is my first time learning about acrylic "skins" as well. How fun!!!

These are extraordinary! What a wonderful way to use acrylic skins. I love listening to you and your hints as you are working are so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for detailed instructions! I can't wait to try them!
Very informative and well-made video. Thanks!
Glad I stumbled across your site
Absolutely fabulous. Your knowledge of and experience with the various mediums is really wonderful. I am learning so much from your videos. And you have so many great ideas.
Hi Myriam I really enjoyed watching this video and I hope you will show more ways to use "skins".
I have several "skin" projects in the pipeline. I need a few more supplies and things first, but I think they'll be fun 😃! Thank you for the thoughtful comment Kathy!
I just discovered you recently and every video is imparts an abundance of new information. Thank you. The Q I have is, why alcohol. I know some use glue because it binds the paint but I missed the part on why alcohol. Thank you in advance.
First of all thank you so much for your kind comment… I’m really happy that the channel is proving useful.
I only used alcohol when making the fractals. It has nothing to do with helping the paint bind or be thinned in this case… It’s just what causes the fractals to form when mixed with the inks. I hope that helps a bit. 😊💕
Gorgeous outcome! I'll make earrings!
A very merry and blessed Christmas to you and yours. Hope to see a lot more of you in the future1
Oh my gosh, I missed this comment until today Christine... Thank you so much. I hope that your Christmas was lovely and that your New Year is full of blessings, love and laughter! 🎄💕🎉😘
These are fantastic. You always have your own great spin on things. Love, love, love!
Awwwww, thank you so much Amy!
I had bought these flat ornaments probably 4 yrs ago. I've still done nothing with them. This is amazing and my ornaments are going to be phenomenal :)
Woo hooo ... that’s awesome! I wish you endless fun making them Jean! 😊😘💕

So much fun to watch and really inspired me to try this! They are stunning. Thank you!!
Hi Myriam I just wanted to tell you how lovely these came out and I actually have added fine glitter to my skins after the pour and they work great.
