Love this cup. i have A firefighter in my family. I'm going to try this for him. Think you for showing us how to do this . i love all the tumblers you do. You make it look so easy to do.
Wow my dear I guess I have been living under resin molds...lol. I just started doing tumblers and found your channel. I just love the designs you make. I adore alcohol ink. Its easy to work with and you get such beautiful results. Thank you for the time you share you are so inspiring and talented. Thanks from bottom of my heart. hugs Sheryl from Indiana 💙🎨💙
Oh wow, that turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing this one. I have looked for hours to find the technique I wanted for a fire tumbler. I’m going to tilt up and down to see if I can get flames going up but other than that, I’m following your lead and subscribing. Love it
I have just started getting into resin cups as a hobby; and youtube has been my go-to for finding info and tutorials, and I find myself returning over and over to yours. Your tumblers are so gorgeous and you have such a friendly, happy personality. One quick question; I haven't invested in Pinata blanco blanco ink yet, but I DO have white mica resin color- do you think that would work?
Thank you so much - that's very nice to hear!! Regarding the white pigment you have, sure if you mix it into the resin, that should work fine. Have fun with it!!😊😊
Gorgeous!!! This technique is quite amazing! Thanks for sharing ☺️ I just used your code at KS Resin & it saved me $7.50 on about $150 order 💯👏👏👏 VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! Gosh gotta love those codes👌
Thank you!! Black alcohol ink will work if it’s opaque enough, but you’ll need quite a bit to get the same level of blackness all the way through as you’d get with an opaque pigment like the powder or a liquid like Castin’ Craft.
Love this so very much. I'm wondering if instead of using the blanco blanco alcohol ink (since it's too expensive) could you use acrylic paint & mix it in the resin the same way?
I expect that would work very similarly! The only catch with acrylic paint is if you add too much to such a small amount of resin, the resin you put it in gets really stringy. But that actually might make it easier to drizzle over the cup.
This cup is Stunning. The movement of the inks are so gorgeous. Nice job!!! Oh which KS Resin do you use? Is it food safe? Can you drink from the tumbler or have to use a straw?
For most of my tumblers, I use KS Liquid Stone, especially if I don’t need a really long work time. Occasionally, if I’m mixing up a lot of different micas in little amounts of resin for a mica swirl, say, then the Art Resin gives more work time. Generally, most cured resins are food safe for incidental food use, so drinking out of a resin tumbler is be fine because it’s really just incidental lip contact when taking a drink (the beverage sits inside the double-walled stainless steel cup, never touching the resin until a sip is taken), but a lot of people seem to prefer using the straws, so either should be fine. Hope this helps a bit!
Thank you!! Yes, at least one more clear layer of resin over the entire cup before it's ready to ship/give/sell to someone. I don't usually show those layers because they don't change the look at all and just make the video longer.
That's another one of those 'everyone has their own idea what's right' things. I don't think it's absolutely necessary. However, for most tumblers that I'm going to spray paint, I usually sand first, wash it, then spray paint it.
Yes, you can use any black opaque pigment like Castin’ Craft, or a pigment paste (same thing just more concentrated). You can also use black acrylic paint. You can also use black alcohol ink BUT that by itself probably won’t make the resin completely black, there might still be some translucency even if you use a lot. Hope this helps!
I tried to make this cup and it is an epic fail. I did everything you've done. I bought the inks from Woody's Goodies, I did the black epoxy. I got the blanco, blanco. I got very little fire swirls and there are several places that look like it repelled something I applied. I'm new to tumblers so don't know what went wrong. Please help!
I’m sorry to hear it didn’t turn out as expected! I will say (and believe me, I wish it weren’t true) that practice really does help you to become familiar with how all the materials are going to behave. For the places that repel, those happen a lot with alcohol ink swirl cups. If you keep an eye out after you’ve added on the colored ink, you can often see little patches form that look dry. If you notice those, you can tap them with a gloved finger to move some resin into that spot or even get a drop of leftover resin and dab it right on there. If you notice it later, those spots will disappear under the next layer of resin. If there is very little swirling, try more heat after adding the white. It’s the combination of the white and heat (then tipping the tumbler and switching direction of the turner) that causes the swirls. So maybe a little more heat next time. You don’t want the resin to drip off the tumbler, but you need to get it moving. If you can send a picture to my email, I’ll see if I can help further. luxinda.swirl @ gmail.com
Oh man!! I forgot to update! I added more alcohol inks after & it was seeming to get worse. But in the end it was ok.not amazing like yours but it was OK. gosh thank you so much for the reply. But I’m thinking also Maybe I didn’t put enough black resin on the cup. I’m using the same ingredients. But the resin is KS
@@jenniferrizzo9088, I’m glad it turned out better than it started 😊 Yeah, I would guess using more black resin for the inks to sink down into would help keep too much white from taking over. But practice and tweaking things each time will help immensely! 🥰🥰
Newby alert! Do you have to put a second coat of epoxy on a tumbler that you put alcohol ink on? I just did a flood coat and dropped the ink on and let it turn overnight.
Hi! You should, yes, just to protect the layer with all the inks in it. If you were to take a paper towel with some acetone or alcohol in it and rub it on your cup the way it is now, some of the ink colors would come off. I'm not suggesting you do that, but it would happen because some of the ink is still very close to or actually on the surface of that layer, so another clear layer of resin over the whole cup will seal everything in and protect it.
Wow! That is really beautiful.
Thank you so much!!!
Gorgeous is right! Stunningly gorgeous! Love it
Thank you!!😊
That turned out gorgeous.
Thank you!!😊🔥
I love it!!! I never thought of black resin...big difference...im going to have to try this....thank you
Thanks!

Your welcome
Great new technique I learned! Awesome!
Thanks! Have fun with it!!!😊
Looks amazing, very 3D with the movement
Thanks!!
Wow the depth in that is amazing!!!!

Thank you and welcome to the world of resin tumblers!! 😁
Awesome as I learned during ink week fire on black is hard ! This came out great! I always love when you pet the cups!
LOL! I hadn't thought about it looking like I'm petting them. Thanks!!!
@@Luxinda the oooooohhhh and the pet at the end is always gold! If you didn't do it I'd be so upset!
@@RaesTurquoiseTurtle 😁
So pretty. I want to try a ghost rainbow!!
Thanks! Definitely give it a try!!
Dragon's breath! Beautiful!
That’s a great name!
Absolutely stunning and some of my favorite color combinations
Thank you!!
I love these colors
Thank you!!🧡❤️💛
This cup is gorgeous. I'm going to have to try this
Thanks!
LOL @1:31 - "a crap-ton"
It’s a scientific unit of measurement that I use frequently, especially with glitter. 🙄✨🤣
Yours turned out gorgeous! I think I needed to add more inks
Thank you! Can’t have too many inks! 😁
Looks awesome I would add a little blue. The hottest part of a fire is blue
Thanks!

Thank you very much!! Yes, the codes are definitely helpful, and the owner usually also has sales for most holidays if you get the email newsletter.
@@Luxinda yesss! I missed their Easter sale & it’s too far to Memorial Day. Wish they did more than one day 😅
That's beautiful!
Thank you!
I don’t have the black powder so could I just put black alcohol ink in the epoxy ? Love your videos! I just found you recently! Thank you so much!😃🌻

Do I need to sand the tumblers first?
That's another one of those 'everyone has their own idea what's right' things. I don't think it's absolutely necessary. However, for most tumblers that I'm going to spray paint, I usually sand first, wash it, then spray paint it.
I'm thinking about trying a fire cup vertically. What are your thoughts?
That sounds amazing!! Go for it!
Love it!
Thank you!
Is there another way to black the epoxy. I'm new to this. Don't have mica powder.
Yes, you can use any black opaque pigment like Castin’ Craft, or a pigment paste (same thing just more concentrated). You can also use black acrylic paint. You can also use black alcohol ink BUT that by itself probably won’t make the resin completely black, there might still be some translucency even if you use a lot. Hope this helps!

Wondering Why did mine stay so white ☹️
Can you tell me the steps you took? What alcohol inks and resin? It could be so many factors that contribute to any differences.

Flame has white. It is the hottest part.
Fair point. I just didn’t want a bunch of pink to show. 😊
@@Luxinda it’s not “pink” it’s natural ombré 😉
