Only found you yesterday. I feel like I am with a friend, you are so natural and easy to follow and NOT 100% perfect which is sooooo attractive. It is nice to see a normal person who, like the rest of us, can’t find something they had a few seconds ago. We ALL do that. You inspire confidence. I saw your vid for using using mica powder with versa mark just before hearing my daughter was going into theatre to have a C section with our first grandchild. I needed a distraction to take my mind off it. So, I set to with my powders, embossing ink pad and stamps. Not only did I get great results, now each time I use that process, it will bring back happy memories. By the time Francesca Lily (Frankie) was born, I was a dab hand at this, new to me, method. Thanks.
Yay! This has been a blast from the past! A very good one too! What 'The Queen of Clarity' can't do without a brayer ain't worth knowing peeps! Barbara is an awesome tutour and an absolute gem of a crafts-woman too! Back in the good old days when everything was fresh and super exciting to a newbie paper-crafter I was head-over-heels in-love with all things inky! (I knew this super-woman as Barbara Grey back in the day!) I found my soft rubber 'Speed-ball' brayer at the bottom of my old craft trolley / rainbow stack o' drawers just last week. I last used the stash in it/them a good 10 -15 years ago!! Sooo, yes the dust has been well and truly shaken/blown/washed off and I'm ready to go for another fair few years of crafting into my retirement! I'm now working as a self-taught Arts & Crafts tutor/teacher and have turned my life-time hobby/pastime (formally 'Star Bright Designs' for Stampin' Up!) into a small home based business/job all of my own and I'm lovin' it! 'Bags, Tags 'n' Boxes' (bespoke packaging for all your gift giving) is the name of my business! CHSI stitches 2018 here I come! Thanks for the refresher tutorial Barbara - it's been fun catching up with you! C xOx
BARB! You're back! I missed you! I love your videos and have learned so much from you. And its not just about brayers, inks and gelli prints, it is also about Barb's Life Lessons... "it's a stripe, its not terminal, its just a stripe". Lol!
So timely. Just started playing with my brayer and gel pad. Now I know what I was doing wrong. Thank you for the very clear demonstration and for sharing your time, talent and inspiration.
Wonderful information! I have several of those sheets and never can get them clean enough. I have got to try that blending trick. Love your videos always something new and not seen before. Thank you
Thank you so much. We are so happy to be back making lessons, tips and projects for the greatest community we could ask for. Don't forget to subscribe to stay up to date with our content and share this video and the channel with your friends and family
Thank you so much for this tutorial Barbara. Wonderful information, great demonstration and now I understand all the mistakes I've been making. Thank you so much for making so much common sense and demonstrating it! Loved your video - so glad I've now found you, so I'll look forward to watching more of your hints and tips. Bev from Australia.
This is such a helpful video. I've had a brayer for quite some time, but have only used it once. This gives me a better idea on how to spread the ink without leaving lines. Thanks!!!
Hi Barbara. I love this and all your videos, I find them all very inspiring and educational. I found this particularly good as you tend to think brayering is something you just do, when in fact you have shown us specific techniques that will save us time, lost artwork and disappointment. There are so may inks out there too, I'm just starting out in 'stamping and ink techniques so I've been a bit confused. Now I know I should be looking at dye-based inks and coated paper, which narrows down the choices (and my 'covert' expenditure ;). Loving Clarity products too. Thanks again
Oh Wow....Thankyou soo very much for the tip. I'm just thrilled you explain things so perfectly. Can't wait to try this method out and I'm off to order one of the blending mats and solution xx
Great tips and glad TH-cam Tuesdays are back (although I'm late to watch hehe)I would really love to see a close up of your Clarity inks if possible. I'm intrigued by them
We're pleased to hear that! There's plenty more to come, so make sure your subscribed to our channel today, to stay up to date with the latest videos releases.
TFS. love your videos. I have always struggled with brayers, so it was put away a long time ago. After watching this video I will be digging it out to have a another go at it...mmm now where did I put it?? LOL!
this was really helpful. My class is gonna use these to paint backgrounds next class and I had no idea what it was lol. Is it basically the same with a foam roller? Most videos I find are about the rubber versions
Loved using my brayer years ago after watching you on TV. But I had a momentary lapse in concentration and rolled it across a rainbow ink pad in the wrong direction (90 degrees). The ink pad is ruined and I recently discovered they don't make them any more by Adirondack :( Any ideas for a similar replacement ? Thank you kindly.
Barbara, I so enjoy your videos! I packed away my brayers long ago, but now I can get them out again thanks to you. I went to your website to order the blending mat and coated card. However, the card is labeled UK & EU only. I'm in the US, so I guess I can't order it. Do you know why that is?
Hi Debroah, thank you for your support. We really enjoy making content for you and all our viewers. Sadly due to the weight and size issues, it will cost too much to ship overseas. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I absolutely LOVE watching you and everything you do! I have truly learned so much and am always beautifully inspired by your lovely talent! Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us! ((Hugs))
and what are your stencils made of? I ask because I live in USA you don't ship to the USA. So I'm trying to find something like it here. Thank you so much. :)
This is the first video that I found that explained in detail how to use a brayer. Plus how to avoid stripes!
