Absolutely gorgeous! Great idea a too. Leave it to you to still be coming up with unique ideas ❤😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you! 😊 so my daughter just picked the supplies for my next video… then! I just base painted a 24” canvas for my next. I’ve had this thing for awhile and I just ripped the bandaid off! I’m going to paint it. Why does it make me nervous to go bigger 😂😂😂 every time I’m nervous. Thats just weird. My living room is earth tones.. so I’m thinking those colors in case I can’t sell it 😂

[@suzannenorman9782]

Oooh! I look forward to that. I am allergic to earth tones but I understand your choice. However, you shouldn’t be assuming it might not sell. Paint what you want to paint so that you enjoy it. Your joy will show through in your art. Good luck!

I hope you’re right 🤞🏻

Beautiful! You are the master of brushwork in Mandala. I have your brush in my Amazon shopping cart.. I can't wait to try it. :-)

[@JaDeLRocks]

I hope you love it! It’s worked so well for me. I had a theory long ago that if I didn’t buy expensive tools that I wouldn’t need expensive tools… so these were right up my alley 😂

[@paulinechoate5974]

@JaDeLRocks ❤️ I agree.. don't need to have expensive fancy tools to create beauty :-)

Is there a trick to loading the brush or does it really matter. I’ve done some lines but they don’t seem as smooth as yours

[@JaDeLRocks]

Not really, you’ve just got to be brave and get paint on it. I use to just barely dip the brush thinking the line would be smaller, which is true, but that line won’t be very far. Basically, it’s like after all the kazillion hours I practiced Im beginning to see that it’s the pressure you apply. It’s like my hand just knows when to ease off and when to bare down a bit more. It’s like I start out just barely “kissing” the surface with the paint on the brush. As the paint amount becomes less on my brush I press down until I know I need to re-dip. If you press too hard or try to go too far without dipping again… you get a wonky line that you can see thru in the middle. The harder you press the thicker the line… etc. it took me forever to quit flicking my brush on the loopty loos. I seriously think it’s just practice. I practiced by making tiny words on kindness rocks…. Lots of kindness rocks 😂😂😂 I’m getting better and better. I still get impatient at times and my lines are much thicker than they have to be but I know I’m getting closer and closer to mastering this little brush. I hope all that made sense. ♥️♥️♥️

[@DebbieBrock16]

@@JaDeLRocks thanks so much! I’ll keep practicing😊. I love your kindness rocks, this winter I plan on making something like that, little rocks that when we go camping, I can leave at campsites. I just think it’s such a sweet idea. Every other year I do crocheted hats for the homeless. That’s my thing I like to do, but I saw your rocks and thought that would a cute idea for camping, thanks again for your information. I think that’ll help. Have a great day.😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

Oh that would be awesome. I love leaving these Little Rocks everywhere I go. It just feels good. The hats now… that’s kindness!!! I love camping too! My tent is my hotel ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DebbieBrock16]

@@JaDeLRocks oh that’s funny you’re camping. We actually camp in a trailer so it’s not too bad and we always go to places we can hook up so we have air conditioning and water 🤣🤣🤣 I’m getting too old for that tent camping. They knees won’t let me crawl out of the tent🤣🤣🤣

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@DebbieBrock16 LOL… same really but the travel camper isn’t in my budget. I’ve got the tiniest car so I could t pull one anyhow. I’d love to have a van or something I could convert for my trips. I say… someday. But campings not completely miserable yet. I always get an electric site so I can bring my coffee kcups, a fan, blow up bed, etc. I even have a cassette toilet and my tent is an instant tent. It’s got a hole for an ac so I’m seriously considering it. I mean… is it really still camping? 😂😂😂
