I love this! Beautiful colors. What paint are you using?

[@carolbrunk4156]

I love the idea of having all your paint colors for a piece chosen ahead of time and put in one of the paint pot strips. Can I ask if you empty that strip when you’re done with the piece, or do you just have tons of strips around with left over paints? I have bunches of strips that Poured paint into, so for one piece I may need to use one color from three or four different strips. But it seems a big job to put paints back in bottles and clean the pots well enough for new colors.

[@thoughtfuldots]

Honestly, I waste a lot of paint. It’s not a good thing to do but yes I have a lot of the strips laying around filled with paint. Sometimes I will go back and use the same palette. I like to use fresh strips for each project but sometimes if I don’t have any I will wash the paint out of an old one and reuse it!

Hermoso 👏👏👏👏🙋‍♀️🇺🇾

[@himanigemini6771]

Very pretty design. At what distance did you make the concentric circles? And how did you erase the visible lines in the end?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Please watch some of my newer tutorials ♥️

[@Jellian532]

Beautiful. Would love the link where you get large paint pods

[@tinarhoades3178]

Demi has posted in the past that she purchases the large paint pots from Hobby Lobby.

[@monicamees7598]

Could you please help me out!? I just ordered 4 molds to make my own stones. I’m confused about what the best powdered cement to purchase. And how much powder in a bowl and how much water?

[@thoughtfuldots]

I buy mine already made from TheRockShopCo on Etsy so I am not sure sorry!

[@monicamees7598]

Thanks. I’ll keep searching.

[@Windsingerful]

😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@beverlydawntrumble7573]

Do you have the design in your head of how you want it to look or do you just make it up as you go or do you follow a pattern?

[@thoughtfuldots]

For this one specifically I’ve already done the center part before so I was recreating it. But normally I just make up as I go!

[@hinalmehta2809]

Has it been ever happened to you like you couldn’t maintain the symmetry I mean we follow the white guidelines but sometimes it’s just doesn’t come and look like a circle when you finished?
