And she's taking forever to ship them. Thanks for teaching us how to seal and varnish. I appreciate all of your videos. (Plus, you're gorgeous and pleasing to see and listen to.) Hope you've had fun with your kids while they're out of school this summer.

I have spent the last few years looking for tips and advice on dotting. So glad I discovered you. My work has improved so much from when I first started. We need more access to craft supplies in the UK it seems so limited compared to what you guys get. I keep trying to make my own tools 😂😂 Now that would be a great tutorial from you D.I.Y tools.

Thank you for the information. I haven’t tried dotting yet but I can’t wait to try it. I make jewelry and do acrylic pouring painting.

[@Songspirit50]

I have spent all morning watching videos of your work. So gorgeous! I have been just doing a mod podge alone over top of my wooden dot pieces, would that act in the same way for the isolation layer? Also, when you speak about the varnishing yellowing overtime, does that happen more frequently than not? and how do you go about removing it and reapplying? Thank you so much for all your beautiful work and dedication. 😊

[@deniseakselrod271]

Thank you for the info on sealing. Greatly appreciated. Love your videos and your work.

First time being apart of your channel. Love your work.. Excellent color combinations and styles. Would love to learn and win. Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@sarahliberman5882]

Hi, Lydia. Your work is amazing. I am new to dot painting and love your tutorials. I think I also bought some tools from your shop. Anyway, I have done a wood tray and finished the dotting at it’s bottom. I’m going to leave the rest of the tray black. I want to put resin on the bottom of the tray but what do I do with the rest of the tray’s sides and bottom? Just varnish over the Golden middle coat? What should I apply first, the resin or the rest of the tray? Do you have a video tutorial on the order in which this should be done?

[@sharonyoung7421]

You do such beautiful work and make it seem so do able. Thank you for the information on your choice of sealents. It was something I wondered about. I would also like to enter your drawing. Thanks Sharon

[@sky_ram]

Nice pendant! Never knew about the isolation coat, I usually use the normal varnish paint you get at local hardware store or the varnish spray from Amazon. Thank u so much for this info! I started doing the mandalas after watching your video and it's definitely too good! I gifted it to my friend and although it was nowhere as perfect as yours😋 got a lot of appreciation for it. Thank you so much for sharing. Entered the giveaway as well.

[@twyllabillings700]

Thanks for your videos! I have learned so much! I am also really enjoying your sharing group! So much inspiration and fun ideas! Always so positive as well! 💙💙💙

I just learned of this kind of painting today on another site ( myserenitycrafts) and they mentioned your name. This is my first video on your site. I'm eager to watch your videos and learn. I'm thinking this will be fun and useful to use on my polymer clay. Thank for the video!
