Didn't even wait through the video to order! So excited and can't wait to get them. Recovering from hand surgery and will be so happy to get back to painting with these tools.

[@TheDottingCenter]

I hope you enjoy them! I wish you a speedy recovery 💐

[@ginnyhudson2709]

love these new tools. they are much easier to grip. holding tools in this way allows my hand to be much more steady. so my dots are more uniform because the pressure is consistent. THANK YOU

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you find them more steady. I do too. Glad you love them!💗

[@RedKittieKat]

Just ordered. I pretty much gave up on dotting because the smaller sizes were killing me to hold. This gives me creative tingles again. I can't wait to give them a whirl! Woo Hoo!!! 🥰

[@TheDottingCenter]

I hope these tools inspire you to pick them up and work with them! I'm glad they give you "creative tingles", that's amazing!!! Enjoy 🌈✨

[@drammieone808]

I watched the video, decided to give them a try. I love these. Great clean up, fingers and hands don't seem to get as fatigued as with using the skinner ones. I'm glad I bought them.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thanks for your review! I’m so glad you like them, thanks again for sharing. ❤️

[@SHANGRILAAA333]

I can't wait to receive my set of tools !!! I have RA and my hands fatigue quickly while dotting, something I love to do. Your tools will help keep me painting longer !!! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Thank you for your humor too - thanks for the giggles !!!

[@TheDottingCenter]

I’m so glad these help you, too! I’ve really had good feedback from folks with arthritis regarding the tool grips. That makes me so happy. Enjoy! ❤️

[@andrewgranick8689]

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED. I have been a cardmaker for years and received your toolkit for Christmas. I'm jus waiting to buy paint and things to paint!

[@laurierozar6412]

I bought your tools and I love them. I love the way they are easy to hold in my hand. I like that you gave the sizes of each tool so I can you them with all my designs.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Awesome! Thank you! All the new videos from this point forward will reference the new tool sizes, so I'm glad you're ready to paint with me. We've got some fun projects on the way! 💗

[@robinbyrd410]

I am so excited about these! I am a sloppy dotter for the most part But these have taken my dotting to a whole higher level! You have no idea how many tools I have purchased in the last few years … there is just no comparison … I love these …worth every penny .

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m so glad you like them.

[@donnalkrueger3715]

I received the new dotting tools today and put them right to work! Truly an upgrade, you really are “Genius”! The dots are perfect and the weight of the tools is amazingly light. So easy to hold in any hand position which I change a lot to keep my fingers from cramping. Thank you Rachel! A total success!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Glad you like them! The comfort was an important feature for a lot of my customers. I'm so glad the new design worked out. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@ritaprovencher6048]

I saw these tools and knew I had to have them. I wanted a set of tools that gradually went up in size. You have hit the nail on the head with these! I love them! They are so easy to hold and get your dot where you want it. I also wanted to comment on your video about painting with bottles. I watched the whole video and I want to say that this video is worth it''s weight in gold (I know people say that and it sounded good) Anyway, in the beginning of my dot painting I got some bottles from Michael's and had no idea what I was doing but saw it on line. The ones I got are not geared toward dot painting and I had lots of trouble. Your video also explained alot about paints, such as medium and heavy bodied paints. I had no clue. What a great learning experience! So, thanks so much for your videos and tools. I will now order the bottle kit that you offer!!

[@TheDottingCenter]

I'm so glad it helped you! All the best!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I don't know how I found this video but those tools look cool!

These look very interested. Thanks from Canada

[@muggywebster1117]

Rachel, I just love your products!! I have an enhancement request for future runs of this product. Even though you show how to contrast (white on black) to make it easy to see, but it is small. It would have been good that the number be put in the bigger fatter side of the grip instead where there is a lot of space to make the number bigger. I will end up using a sharpie to do that but it would have been better that the set is manufacturered that way to begin with. These are a beautiful set.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it 💕😊

[@heatherdelauder5661]

The sock thing, 💯 genius!

[@TheDottingCenter]

RIGHT?! 😂👍

Have wanted to start dotting but was afraid my arthritis would be a true limitation. Thank you for designing tools so those of us with hand problems can try.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yes! I've heard nothing but positive feedback about the grip handles for arthritic hands. I hope they work well for you.

[@RisingPhoenixCreations]

yep there is the sound of my card crying at the purchase of another set of tools in June. aw well hahaha love them!! glad to see you back

I am hoping so, even if limited to this once set for most dotting. Procrastination is my strong suit! I am really going to challenge myself to this comparison and how my hands react to the new tools! Can't wait for my happy mail!

[@1wascallywabbit]

Just ordered my set (along with multiple other items) I'm brand new to this, have yet to put down my first dot even though I've been watching videos for close to a year now) i can't wait to get my set, actually try my first project....but REALLY looking forward to new tutorials from you...using the consistency and guidance of your key (ex: green tool #9 = __mm) of which tool is being used as we follow along

[@TheDottingCenter]

Welcome aboard! You got this! Starting is the HARDEST PART. Even for experienced dotters, other things always seem to take priority. (laundry, dishes, family...etc.) Art deserves your time. Always : ) I've got some great beginner projects coming up so stay tuned!

[@7rocks7seas28]

Rachel, I just ordered these but I don’t see a lot of videos utilizing them. I’m just seeking simple beginner flat canvas projects..I thought the idea of showing the tool size in the corner of the video would be really helpful. Thanks! Jenn

[@TheDottingCenter]

I have plans for a series of beginner projects coming up! Stay tuned.

[@TheChicagoPigeon]

Oh my gosh you are SO funny!!!! YOU ARE GENIUS!!!

Paint wipeoffinator? Great idea! Dollar Tree have socks.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yes, that’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

I just now purchased these tools and can't wait to receive them. One little upgrade for the next set - put the .mm size opposite the tool size! What do you think?

[@TheDottingCenter]

Oh I didn't even think of that. Some people use mm for reference. Good idea! Thank you for the suggestion 😊

[@scubadottie]

Thanks for the video. Question, if I get this set… should I get a Stylus set to do swopes and disappearing dots?

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yes, the stylus tools are a must. They work best for swoops and walking the dots. Both of those sets are all you need : )

Hi Nancy! Yes.There are numbers debossed in the black tips by the handle. You can add a touch of white paint to fill them in. Check out the booklet and video to see all the details 😊

How do sizes compare to the styles ball tip tools

The sizes of these tools are both smaller and larger than the ball stylus tools. Those are great for making progressively smaller dots in succession. I hope that answers your question.

Dear Rachel, Ive ordered some dotting tools and am anxiously awaiting for the package to arrive in Singapore :) Quick question, i been practicing doting with acrylic tool and im getting this crescent formation when i dot , usually most visible on the larger ones, What am i doing wrong? Paint too thick or thin? Would your dotting tool differ from this issue? What could help with this problem? Thanks so much cant wait to get started. :)

[@TheDottingCenter]

Sounds like your paint is too thick. Thin with pouring medium or floetrol to fix.

[@psxlady]

I’d like to get them but shipping to Canada was $23. Please let me know if there is another option to get them?

Are the tips silicone?

[@TheDottingCenter]

No, the tips are a hard plastic meant to resist chipping. The handle is like silicone in that it's softer and resists paint.

I wouldn’t soak them in alcohol, but you can absolutely wipe them in alcohol. My tools are still brand new looking after years. I’ve never had to replace them and I’ve never had any complaints from customers about alcohol over time.
