Impressive, thank you for sharing

[@Caeleinn]

This is gorgeous! I'm just getting into ornament painting/dotting, and this would be a fantastic addition to my collection. I like to give special ornaments to family/friends each year, and now, making them will be even more special! Trying to think how to incorporate a cardinal as a memorial to my Dad for this year's ornament.

[@krisygirl9973]

Maria.... you are amazing... I just love it... thank you so much.....

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I thought it turned out well and I think it's helpful to others to see how to paint a similar design on different surfaces. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lindad3093]

@@SweetWillowDsgn I'm heading upstairs to my studio to give it a try...

[@irenearbuckle4744]

Love this!! Maybe--just maybe I can add these to my Christmas gift list!! Guess it's not too early to start!! Thanks for the great idea and video!

Thank you! 😊

[@kayellwy]

I love this ornament! Thank you for sharing the how-to. I plan to paint some of these. Years ago, I did some tole-painted ornaments and yours reminds me of them. I would love to see more painted ornament tutorials!

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Thank you so much Karen. I’m getting back to some decorative painting. I’m out of practice but loved it and did a lot of tole painting in the 90s.

[@kayellwy]

@@SweetWillowDsgn Me too. Started learning while living in Texas in the '80s and continued through the '90s, teaching classes at the local junior college in Wyoming. I am out of practice too. I'm loving dot painting, however. :)

Thank you Leona!

Cool! Thank you!

Thank you!

[@elizabethwright7917]

Love your improvising of the tape. The branches look "organic" and all of the details are really pretty.

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Thank you Elizabeth! I loved how the tape worked too! Thanks so much for watching.

[@elizabethwright7917]

@@SweetWillowDsgn I use the handle tip of a plastic spoon sometimes.

[@lorrainehounsell9863]

What pencil eraser are you using! I only found round ones on line and I really like the shape yours leaves. Thank you.

[@nancysalzman9370]

Very cool 😎

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Thank you Nancy.

[@paulinechoate5974]

Really pretty, love it 😍🎄

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Thank you Louise!

[@Bloquita5]

So unique and so beautiful! Thank you for a well made tutorial. 🙏🏽👌🏾 I will try to make one just like that. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@diamond-dee]

Love this pattern. Thanks for sharing. A tip that might work also is that I’m making them for my family’s dinner table this year, and I’m going to add some sparkle sugar inside to represent snowfall. This is a beautiful idea and I love you and the tutorials you share with all of us. May your Christmas 2020 and the New Year ahead in 2021 bring you peace, friendship, love and hope.

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Yes! There are so many ways to use this design. My best to you at Christmas and the New Year.

[@Besorah1729]

Excellent 🤩

[@janjones4772]

Very pretty, thanks for sharing with us, do you spray or put any finish on these ? Good memory, keepsakes. So nice something to be so proud of,.👍💕

[@ellsworthsells]

I miss your instruction paint along videos.

[@CoranadoKid]

How do you keep the lines and greenery from seeing threw

[@edibrennan7074]

I would pour white paint inside and swirl it around ..

[@esseniajavorovskaya8321]

So nice! what size of the ball?

[@livingcreatively1]

This is beautiful. Mine close to yours but definitely different. Easy design and you always make it easy to dot along with. 🙏 to you and your son. QUESTION: Will you be doing a live dot along any time soon. I understand your situation and also understand if it is no. I'm just curious. Thank you for all you do.😊

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

Thank you! 😊 I don't have any plans for a live dot along at this time. I hope to be able to host some soon. Thanks for watching.

[@NinaHansen2008]

I’m going to a craft show in October. I’d love to have some of these to sell there. Thank you so very much,

[@pegberthold3988]

I am new to this, so this may seem a silly question....do you need spirits to clean your tools/brushes with these paints?

[@patricialewis6138]

How would you price a hand painted ornament?

[@SweetWillowDsgn]

A great place to get a gauge of prices for hand painted ornaments is Etsy. Search for these types of ornaments and you'll find a variety of ornaments and prices. That's my best advice. Prices are so variable based on the selling venue and location.

[@patricialewis6138]

@@SweetWillowDsgn Is it ok to sell the ornaments we make with you/tutorials?

[@kenatinl]

Ove it. Just found you subscribe in 2024!
