      Hi Lydia! I want to thank you so much!! I am from India and love Mandalas and you did the BEST job teaching and showing me how to create my own!
      I used this example to do my 1st one and added my own flair too and I LOVE how it came out!! 😍
      Also saw the pic of your gorgeous kids and know you must be an awesome mom as well! 💖👏

    Lydia May After practicing the dots several times, I think I've finally got it! I did this stone along with you, and even though there wasn't room for the last dots, I think I did a pretty good job, thanks to your patience & great teaching! Thank you!

      Don't give up! Step away and come back later after not looking at it for a bit. Most mistakes are totally fixable. PLUS, it doesn't have to be perfect! Seriously! You are so kind. Thank you very much. XOXO

    Wow. When she was making the dots that went smaller around the big dot, I was like I don't believe somebody can do it so perfectly with free hand.

    I love your tutorial. I made my own hand formed stone out of gypsum and then painted it watching your tutorial. It turned out so pretty. The only problem I had was trying to use the same size tool you used. I didn't know what size dowel you used. My kids are now grown so I can work on my stones more. I understand how much time it takes to homeschool your kids so I really appreciate you making this tutorial.

    Hi Linda, I wanted to share something I've come up with to add a nice all round glitter to Christmas decorations. I've done this with several colors now and everyone seems to love it. First paint your ornament black. Let it dry. Mix black and Silver Bling Glamour Dust, ultra fine from decoart. Then apply all over as if you were painting a second coat on. This works with other colors to

    It is 5/2020 and we are in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis. I am an artist and a crafter, so I decided to take this down time and try something new. I decided to try my hand at dot painting. So far I have been doing mostly practicing and getting used to the new tools. I have the #3 stone molds on order, and am waiting for them to arrive. I am also watching dotting videos, and this one is fantastic! It will be the first design I paint once I am able to start making my "stones".
