Tools used in this video:
Dotting tools from Mark's Mandalas (Amazon)
Silicone 3.7 inch art stone mold #2 from The Happy Dotting Company
Silicone stencil from The Happy Dotting Company
Ultracal 30 gypsum plaster cement (Amazon)
Tinsky Polymer Clay sculpting tool with ball point
General's charcoal white pencil
15 ml paint pots with lids (Hobby Lobby)
Liquitex pouring medium (to thin paints that were too thick)
Art Resin
Q-tips
Latex gloves
Plastic cutting board (to place stones on after they are coated with resin)
I mix my paints in small plastic cups with airtight lids. I usually combine a craft paint with drops of Golden Fluid paint to boost the pigment saturation. If the paint is too thick for dotting, I add Liquitex Pouring medium to make it the right consistency, somewhere between Yoplait yogurt and heavy cream.

[@tinamarie227]

Every single time I watch one of your videos.... I am COMPELLED to get out my rock painting and do one... You are surely gifted... LOL

[@kathie8283]

Oh thank you for this! Keep the videos coming. I love that you tell what size tools you are using. I am new to this hobby and am using the molds and same tools that you use, so I know the pattern will work out on the size rock. 🥰

[@mitachauhan7601]

Yellow dots looks pretty on the orange trio. Very beautiful.

[@sherry9284]

It’s been a pleasure listening & watching you share your vacation experiences to the islands with your lovely dotted stones. Thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@brendalittle8341]

I painted this on a wooden box top; love it! Thank you Kristin!

[@aislinngraves4291]

I did one of each of the Hawaii stones to take on our trip to Oahu. Each evening David and I went for a walk on the boardwalk along the ocean to hide one of my kindness rocks. Every rock was found and someone took it but so far I haven't seen any photos posted so I have no idea who found them or where they ended up. I hope whoever it is had a thrill finding it and enjoys their rock. Thank you so much, Kristin, for doing this series. I had such fun painting and hiding these beautiful stones!

[@user-rh2lz1wp1t]

I love you Kristin. You are true artist. Please keep making tutorials for us. It's a treat. X

[@mirandaVL123]

Great! Thanks for sharing, for All the tips and trips and great patterns!

[@4seasons7]

Thank you so much for such a great tutorial. I especially like that you showed which tool you were using, by numbers. This was very helpful to me as I am new to rock painting. I found it to be a great guide to using the different size tools.

[@ceeteemcdee9680]

Love it! I did this one last night on a small canvas with colors as close to yours as possible. ..I extended 8 little dot rays out to fill up some left over space & today it looks so electric I will probably leave it as is without top dots. Thank you :) I'm looking forward to trying some of your other patterns!

[@williamadam5040]

Hello Christine, how are you doing today..?

[@nadeanm3057]

I really like this one . Thank you. Alo'ha🎉

[@collinskj1963]

Hi Kristin, I started dot painting about a year ago and your videos have been a huge inspiration and learning guide for me, I know that you always show what paints you plan on using in each of your videos but I was really hoping that you could make an updated video that just covers all of the paints that you use, why you prefer them and how you might mix them with different mediums, I am a huge fan of mixing my paint with Liquitex gloss medium because I love shiny dots and although I am watching less dot painting tutorials as I learn what works best for me I did notice in a recent one of yours that you have started using the Liguitex also, your dots are always so beautiful and I would really love to watch how you prepare your paint.

[@jennifervick2777]

I would second this request. You stated in your comments that you add golden fluid paints to boost your pigments. Would definitely love to hear and see more about this. I love you videos!!!!

[@thizirikabyle8099]

Amazing

[@missillierlulu7660]

merci pour le tutoriel, j'ai adoré le résultat et surtout les explications très claires et le matériel utilisé très économique, j'essaie demain ;)

[@sonjagabrenya5127]

This is a beautiful mandala. I have a question from a beginner. When you resin the entire stone, how do you dry it without it sticking to the mat?

[@carolewilson1311]

That's beautiful you're so gifted I just make a make up another chat that's beautiful you're so gifted I just mess up

[@marisdelasmercedesgauna7372]

CONGRATULATIONS 💞

[@sandyquinn5441]

How does the underside dry sitting with resin? Do you elevate the rock to dry? What is the purpose of adding resin twice? Thank you, so beautiful! ** I just read a reply about the plastic board. Is there much of a mark on the underside after two days?

[@kimbranson3374]

Lovely, as always :) How do you come up with your design ideas/patterns?

[@kl4334]

Certainly reminds me of where I was born!

[@anweshapaul435]

Beautiful as ever. Can you do a dreamcatcher on a stone

[@charsbabushka]

Kristin, I don't mean to be picky but I had printed out your paint color list, listed under the video. Now I see that the color list in your video is nothing like the color list in the description. I just thought you might like to be aware of this. I have since copied the color list in the video. I love your color pallets and your designs. You rock, Lady.

[@xxzin_gamer125]

Que lindoooo

[@kjstarr2893]

Beautiful! Where do you get the perfectly round stones?

[@pcbbeach4ever]

Hello Kristin, I'm wondering if the numbers of Mark's tools correspond to the approximate mm's of the dots from each tool? I love Mark, he's fantastic and I may purchase his but I have tools, all of which you recommended in the past. Can you answer to this or should I ask Mark? As always... I'm a total fan of your kind heart, beautiful work and colour palettes!

[@JazzyGems111]

Hi Kristin. This stone is absolutely gorgeous! Are the paints that you use a gloss or a satin acrylic? Also, I was wondering...how does the resin dry on the bottom of the stone? I see you left it flat down to dry. I would like to try but I can only think that it would either stick to the surface it is set on to dry and also, that there would be a huge mark on the underside of the rock.

[@michelebillingsley674]

Can you use something other than resin/epoxy to use and get the same affect? I have bad reactions when working with epoxy. Thank you!

[@estelapiacente7230]

Hello the colors are so bright can you tell me which is the mango color and the purple flash for and how did you get the raspberry shades? I love this design!!

[@queziamarchini1100]

😍😍😍👏👏👏💖

[@MotherElf]

where do you get such perfectly round stones from?

[@annejohnson1017]

Where do you find the ball point stylus?? I can't find it on Amazon!! 😭

[@elizabethmoody2913]

Hi Kristen I have been following you for a while now. You are truly amazing. Can I ask how you kept the resin from making bubbles on the backside of the rock and what did you let your rock dry on to keep the resin looking good on the back of the rock?

[@kristinuhrig2924]

I use either a plastic cutting board or discarded plastic lids to set the stones on while the resin cures. If there is too much of a mark on the backside after two days, I turn the stone on it's face and then resin that small spot on the back...wait two more days, and then the backside is smooth.

[@elizabethmoody2913]

Thanks for you reply and help. I ruined a couple stones with the resin and I did not want to ruin any more. :)

[@raginidixit509]

after resin on which syrface we should keep the stone to let this dry. i kept stone on a plastic tray over night but in the morning i found my stone completely fixed on the tray i took it out very hardly .

[@rebekahcortez]

I am just starting out and need guidance on tools. What tools do you prefer?

[@annekristineskov9409]

I have a question about the resin.. will it stick to the plastic cutting board? I moved my mandala to avoid it from sticking to the board but unfortunately I ruined the bottom of the mandala.. so my question is, should I just leave it for two days before I’m moving it? Thanks in advance ♥️

[@mariannegolding9681]

Kirsten could I ask if the resin yellows with age? I made a decoupage tray about eight years ago and it's gone yellow. Not nice! Maybe the modern way of making resin has taken this into account?

[@user-qe1lx6dl9h]

Kristen this is beautiful. May I ask, what do you set the stone on when you resin to keep it from sticking?

[@kristinuhrig2924]

I set them on a silicone mat meant for baking.

[@user-qe1lx6dl9h]

Thank you for the info. I did ceramics for so long that I may have a cup stilt in the garage. But if I can't find one I will get a silicone mat for sure.

[@tonidinn9788]

What did you use to lay the rock on while the resin dried?

[@kreymanewell1385]

I am interested in the silicon dotting tools. Where can I get a set of my own. Do you have them for sale?

[@terezinhagambogi2876]

Hello, can you tell the boleador models and other objects that you use in your art? Do you know if Amazon can buy it? thanks! Terezinha from Brasil

[@diannmccullough9857]

What is the type of tool u are using to walk ur dog's. Where can I purchase this tool set.

[@williamadam5040]

Hello Diann, how are you doing today..?

[@michelebillingsley674]

The colors you are saying don’t correspond to the list you provided. Which colors should be followed? Thank you!

[@kathymohler7958]

Will you please tell me what you use to due the dotting with Please?

[@ckelly-gh4lh]

Hi Kathy...she is using Marks Mandalas dotting tools. I hope I'm not out of line here, just wanted you to know; )

[@saionarareis4082]

When you do it, it seems so easy, but it’s so frustrating when I do it and it ends up all “waki”.

[@christinecrow1410]

I wish you would say the numbers or letters of the tools. Please

[@brianlavigne596]

great job! Need a steady hand and some patience!

[@noellemetzger1714]

fyi Ginger no longer sells dotting tools

[@anamariasantos4011]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
