IT'S SO BIG! NEW #5 mold from Happy Dotting Company! Full Mandala Tutorial on this HUGE Rock!

I used the new #5 mold from Happy Dotting Company to create this Big Rock that I painted this Huge mandala tutorial on this BIG rock! I couldn't be more tickled with the extra space this new rock provides me. The new design of the molds is perfect in my opinion! It was so much easier to feel confident in tapping the bottom and sides to get those bubbles out. I hope you guys order one today because I've already made 4 more and I'm raring to go! Head over to HDC and show Miss Anjela some love... her products totally rock!!!

Right on… thank you Suzanne! I just know we are going to have a ball with these molds! I want to sit down with my sketchbook and really draw out something fancy.

[@JaDeLRocks]

How nice of you Sharon 🤗 Thank you ♥️ I really do appreciate the encouragement.

[@Lyn4817]

Thanks for the heads up on the latest mould from the HDC, which I prompty ordered and also got an extra #3 mould, which is such a cute size for a quick 'thinking of you gesture' or simply trying out a new palette and design idea. It's also a great little size to leave somewhere, just to make someone's day. Like at the hospital, Doctors or anywhere else that's not a pleasant part of our day. Just like a Dotter from Utah who made, dotted rocks and left hidden at her Radiation appointments. Sue left a decorated stone everyday she attended her appointments. I often wonder what people thought when they found Sue's gorgeous art rocks. This 5.5""rock looks gorgeous as usual.

[@JaDeLRocks]

You are so right… I have 4 of the #3s, 3 of the #4s, and 1 of the #5s and tealight. I cannot imagine finding one of Sue’s rocks… I once found a red rock that was half painted and said be kind in black sharpie. This is one of my prized possessions…. Can you imagine finding hers? I’d feel like I was stealing 😂😂😂. People can be so wonderful ♥️ I need to focus on that more. Thank you Lyn. 🤗

[@gaynorpadgham1839]

Thank you ♥️

[@darlenemikkola5239]

Stunning💙💙💙. The colors are soft and elegant!! I used your mandala brainstorm, well, I used it a little differently than how you demonstrated you use it……….so I dotted a key chain, lol, I know, it’s a little design, but I liked the way it turned out and knew I would use this design again……got out your mandala brainstorm and dotted and recorded the paints and tools I used and now I will easily have access to recreating this design again. There’s so many rocks I have sold and loved, if I would have had your mandala brainstorm back then, I would easily be able to go back and make them again. My memory isn’t what it used to be, so this is gonna be a very handy tool for me!! Thanks JaDel….you rock and I just love you, girl❤❤❤❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

That’s awesome! The exact purpose of the brainstorms. I have pictures of all my rocks but that doesn’t help enough to recreate them. I love having a little instruction book. And you can totally use it for any size mandala that fits. This 5.5 one even has a spot for ideas. I tried really hard to leave extra space that you can dictate how to use. It’s fun. Thank you so much for sharing that… I appreciate it ♥️ hope you have a terrific Sunday my friend 🩵🩵🩵

[@alwayscreatedforyou]

Absolutely gorgeous! Waiting on my stones to dry. Can’t wait to try this tutorial! Thanks Regina

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ Waiting is the hardest isn’t it. Lol, you’re going to love these stones for sure. I sat down last night with my Mandala Brainstorm and a pencil…. I just want to draw one and have fun. I’m curious what this new size will bring. I got half way through it. It’s really big.

[@alwayscreatedforyou]

@@JaDeLRocks they are large I’m really excited to use

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

Just so beautiful! I purchased two of the #5's and they really are huge! Can't wait to dot on one.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I had just started venturing out to wood and canvas…. I think Happy Dotting Company had perfect timing! I’m like a little kid with a new toy! I love it. I made 5…. 4 to go 💪🏻

Gracias a ti..!!

[@rosellenf.8339]

Holy Cow !! This is BIG !! Totally love the way you handled it. . no problem for our JaDel !! This started off as a beautiful snowflake at first, but then you expanded it and it magically turned into this amazing piece !! You go girl .. HDC is certainly loving you as much as you are loving them. I buy only from them myself !! Rock on my friend ❤️ ... You NEVER cease to amaze me ❤️👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🌹

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awwwww thank you my friend! You’re always so sweet to me! I’m thrilled about the new mold. It drive me crazy to let it dry before I could paint. But I was good… maybe rushed it a day but that’s it 😂😂😂 I literally pulled it off the resin stand yesterday. Have you tried the new dotting tools from HDC? I’m really curious.

[@Lyn4817]

​@@JaDeLRocks Yes I also have the new HDC's Dotting tools, they are great and especially love the extra oval tool in two sizes plus having a .5mm and 1mm tool and a tool that covers all the way through to 15.5mm is great. For those who aren't aware, there is a tool conversation chart that gives all the size equivalent to the HRC's tools.

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@Lyn4817 awesome Lyn… I’m going to have to give them a try. Diane showed me that my 2mm rod is no longer included in the HDC set of acrylic rods… my only hesitation to the new tools is that they are all the same color. I’m weird like that 😂😂😂

[@Lyn4817]

@@JaDeLRocks You could use heat shrink used to cover, seal and secure electrical wiring that comes in some different colours or you could always paint a band of colour on each rod. The numbering is large and so easy to read. If held right while doing tutorials it should be easy enough for everyone to see the size your using. The new HDC numbers on the tools are the size of the dotting surface in millimetres.

[@JaDeLRocks]

@Lyn R that’s quite the brilliant idea! I’ll give them a try. I’ve been eyeballing them awhile now. Let’s do it…. As soon as I can afford. Lol, I’m suppose to be having a no buy year. 😂😂😂 it’s a lost cause.

[@lorrainemclay3343]

The bigger stone gives you more opportunities to showcase your creativity. Your videos transmit positive vibes. Thank you 👏😃🌈🌈

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ yep… I love the extra space! 🤗

[@krishosler390]

Its exquisite Jadel, cant wait to try it myself, i got the mold and made the stone, have to wait for drying time, ugg..😮this is totally beautiful, colors choices are supurb...❤❤❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

The waiting is the worst 😂😂😂 I waited 4 days to paint then another 3 to resin.. yesterday it came out of resin and I couldn’t wait to upload this video! I probably left fingerprints on the back 😂😂😂

[@frangoodrich8243]

Wow this is beautiful JaDel. I love those color combinations and the bigger the better I say lol And can I just mention how your editing game is on point. You are the only artist I can watch without getting aggrivated . Its never boring and always shows exactly what you are doing without all the drama. You have the best video skills ever and your art and Heart is beyond spectacular!!!! ❤❤❤

[@joycemccoy8372]

Yes her editing skills match her artistic skills. My husband will watch with me and he’s always impressed.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Omg… really? Thank you ♥️ I won’t lie… it takes me longer to edit than it does to paint so I really appreciate it. You keep me in the loop now and if I can make it better just holler! That made my day Fran, thanks 🩵🩵🩵

[@JaDeLRocks]

Wow… husband too? Omg y’all, Thank you ♥️ seriously. My first video was the first time I’ve ever edited. It’s like I learn a little more each time. I just wish I’d get faster at it. This video took me literally a full day to edit. I’m up n down but for the most part… I was editing.

[@JaDeLRocks]

If you sit it on a ruler you’ll measure 5.5” but…. If you flex a ruler over the top you’ll find a whopping 6” of paintable space.. plus a bit more if you want to wrap under towards bottom.

[@lydiat5819]

May I ask 1 question ? Do you mean we prepare separately 1 part Liquitex Flow Aid : 20 part water, then add less than 25% (based on the acrylic paint) of this liquid to any normal acrylic paint (1 part Liquitex mixture : 4 parts acrylic paint) ?

[@JaDeLRocks]

I mean that I mix up 1 part Flow aid to 20 parts water in my little bottle and use it to thin my paint. Let’s call that mix the “thinner.” So I use drops of the thinner into my paint to get the consistency I like. Let’s call the thinner and paint mix the “final result.” And the answer you are looking for is… be sure that the amount of “thinner” in the “final result” isn’t more than 25% of the “final result.” In other words… don’t thin it too much or it will mess up the science of the paint 😉. Gosh I hope this made sense. I’m so glad you asked this… Thank you ♥️

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think you’re right 🤗

[@tigercatz]

The product is great but the music and sound effects are totally obnoxious.

[@JaDeLRocks]
