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! 💖👏

[@river4140]

What is the coupon code please

[@aadityapanghal9888]

mam i am actually living in India and i guess no deliveries here?

[@juliemartin7548]

There is next to nothing in the U.K. for mandala supplies and of it costs too much for shipping.😌

[@shirinst.laurent2161]

Thank you for sharing! Painting Mandala dot art has also become my therapy. I love your channel and appreciate how amazing and supportive you are!

[@fadedrose9]

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!

[@kathykaura7219]

Good god, woman, that rock is GORGEOUS! The colors are fabulous. I hope I can find colors like those. Great for summer. Good job. Your children are beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@LydiaMay]

Thank you! Have fun!

[@isabellac5669]

Once again, I appreciate ALL you have created for those of us who are enjoying this art medium! You are so beautiful, encouraging, creative & kind! I'm the 'type' who gets too discouraged, and leave certain projects to the side! I'm going to take a breath, restart; each of you tutorials will definitely help! ✌🏻

[@LydiaMay]

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

[@kholbrook203]

I am a beginner and I learned a lot from this video! Your Mandala rock is so beautiful. Thank you for helping us who know nothing.

[@amberford5658]

This Mandala is absolutely beautiful.💗

[@vondasuemiller9289]

Great tutorial, you make it look so easy. Thank you also for the list of supplies you used. I will do this art form in the future. Fabulous job and beautiful work.

[@LydiaMay]

Thank you, sweet Helen! XOXOXO

[@ceciled.7481]

Thanks for tour channel. I'm from France et did my first dot painting mandalas on stones yesterday. I did this mandala first. The other one I did is the memorial stone for my step dad who just passed (I replaced the paw by a red heart and wrote him a note on the reverse). Thank you Lynda for your relaxing videos. 😍

[@kathyf3656]

Our library has a small raised garden out front. People paint pretty rock designs or sayings. If you take one home, you leave one behind. I can't wait to show this to my granddaughter so she can make rocks to leave in the library garden. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@tracystorm8192]

I've been ready to give up on rock painting because I have no natural talent. So glad I watched your tutorial. This is great!

[@LydiaMay]

Oh, it's there. Keep it up!! XOXOXO

[@karenthurber4713]

[@LydiaMay]

Aww, thanks! XOXOX

[@loladelvalle7937]

WOW!!!! BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@terribanerian5216]

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.

[@LydiaMay]

Awesome! I would love to see it! Are you on Facebook? If so, please come share it. Lydia May's Mandala Sharing group on Facebook or google- [e-mail]. Thank you for commenting. XOXO

[@patriciayoung-nicklin6945]

Very helpful tutorial. I'm having trouble finding the 16 slice stencil.

[@maryjaneharris6254]

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".

[@coronagirl1016]

You make it look so easy

I just sat and watched this and thought if you stuck the rock to a bearing like a fidget spinner with blutack you could rotate it more easily, just a thought and might be helpful, great video btw.😀

The way you talk makes me so happy. You have an very light accent that I cannot pinpoint but it is beautiful. You should do ASMR.

[@lyndelaney6876]

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

[@LydiaMay]

Sounds beautiful! Thank you!
