[@artiejohnson703]

I have always wanted to use CD to make Suncatchers. But never knew how to get started. Thank you so much for your video. Now I know how to do it. A Huge Thank You!!!! ❤

[@LydiaMay]

@@artiejohnson703 my pleasure! Thank you for being here and commenting! 🩷 Have fun!

[@elizabethmurchison6361]

Love, love, love this! I have a stack of used CD's! Thank you so much for the lesso

[@LydiaMay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@denisehowie3716]

Ha!!!! I actually managed to make that knot on my first try. Color me surprised. You demonstrated the technique perfectly. 🎉🎉🎉

[@LydiaMay]

👏👏👏 Bravo!!!

[@rebeccawinkler9528]

Started last year to make something with old CD's. Got them spray painted and never finished. This is perfect as I just started doing mandala's this year. Absolutely beautiful !! Thank you so much.

[@LydiaMay]

Perfect! Thank you! Have fun! ❤️

[@lizraper3667]

Thanks for sharing your creativity.....pablo is just Adorable....you are lucky

[@rashmiparikh6386]

Excellent work

[@ravenwolf8931]

Loved this. I just tried it and it came out really pretty, Thanks for the tutorial! Also, since I am just starting out learning how to do Dot Mandalas, I thought I would mention for my fellow newbies, who, like myself, still need guide lines; that since the CD is clear, you can draw guide lines on a piece of paper and stick it to the back of the CD with couple small pieces of double sided tape. It really helped me keep everything straight.

[@karenlee2888]

Cute lil puppy

[@silvinosal9371]

Woow yeah is very beautiful.

[@ljm9092]

Lydia, Pablo is so Adorable ! I melted when I first saw him. you just want to squeeze his little tiny cheeks ! hahaha Loved the sun catcher. your personality shines through in a very colorful way. Love it. thank you for all you do for us, the viewers. Still watching for more. :) :)

[@lindarichard6113]

Love the colors and shine of the paint!

[@deanablythe9394]

Wow! Great idea to do the dots on a clear CD, I didn't think of that, it looks amazing especially with the metallic paint. I did one last year on a black background and am going to try on the reflective CD, as I think that would have a nice effect too. Thank you so much for the knot, as I lost all my beads due to the knot slipping, fortunately, they were only plastic beads so no great loss, I am definitely going to use that knot. Well done and thanks for sharing and yes I would love to see what else you come up with, when dotting CD's.

[@LydiaMay]

Great! It's really the perfect knot. I tried several others and nothing worked. Lmk how it goes for ya! And thank you for commenting. 💖

[@farehamohsin8206]

Just saw your channel and love it your art is beautiful just like you !!! Thankss

[@katanderson6788]

I just got my dotting tools and paint today! I don't have any stencils so I will have to eyeball it. I have the cd's and going to give it a try. Love your tutorials! So easy to follow!

[@LydiaMay]

Have fun!

[@christineman958]

Yeah to recycling art. Beautiful.

[@monstermorguetutorials3139]

Super great idea!!!!!! Thanks for the share.

[@janjones4772]

I love your pup he so sweet ♥️♥️💕💕👍🥰

[@terishamlian5863]

What a beautiful pattern. I was wishing I had a clear base, and there you go. You showed me how. Can't wait to practice this technique!

[@yvonnesmith6067]

Beautiful , thankyou for sharing Lydia , it turned out fantastic

[@s.d.8722]

GÉNIAL ❤ BRAVO

[@terribanerian5216]

Thank you for the cd video. I love making them. I would love to see more tutorials on dotting on cds. Also love your dog. He's so cute.

[@texasgemtree]

Yes! Colored background! That is so beautiful!

[@ReginaMarquesNinaFlor]

Very beautiful

[@AmarJuniGodGani]

Lovely job.Thank you.

[@seamuspurcell5065]

beautiful , beautiful Pablo too

[@JEHomestead]

Love your pup! I just found some old cd's while cleaning out storage boxes and this would be perfect for me to practice on. Thanks for sharing your tutorial, Lydia. Love those metallic paints too! Hugs,Judy

[@Vandanamallya]

I think you are giant of mandala art

[@janet19551]

Great! Another idea. My husband is already telling people, “Don’t stand still or she will paint dots all over you.” Lol. So addicted. And, I did buy your wooden tool set and I love working with the wood much more than the acrylic tools. I would recommend others to get a set if they don’t already have. I am finding an album of my friends and family members favorite artist/s and making clocks with dot colors to match the label for Xmas gifts. Already getting the clock fixtures at Michal’s with 40 to 50 % off coupons. Thanks for sharing all of your tips.

[@LydiaMay]

You're awesome! I literally LOL'd at your husbands comment! Hilarious because it's SO TRUE! I have shirts that say "I'd dot that" because nothing is off limits. Thank you so much for your comment. I love that you love the tools. 🙌😙💕

[@traceyhawkins9791]

I've never seen one clear like this and I love it.

[@dianeibarra6839]

Wow...it is gorgeous....

Lidia, I am a retired artist (does an artist ever retire) and until I discovered you would never have enjoyed the fun I'm having in my 80's- I love your tutorials all of them--especially the silhouette- I dotted one of my great-grandaughter and it came out nice-yours is so much lovelier --Thank you for lighting the fire under me--love all of the gifts-you decide-if you select me as a winner--also Congratulations!

[@HvnlyFlwr13]

[@katyoung_Katzillah]

Ahhh, now this looks like it would be great for me to start my dotting journey on❣️ Beautiful yet fairly simple❣️ Thank you for the detailed tutorial 💜💙💜

[@anluguco]

It is beautiful, gracias por compartir

[@homesweetrv8685]

I have some, but they are beautiful as they are, no writing, cds, old so I’m hoping they work. In quarantine so was just thrilled to find your video with materials I already have. Thanks.

[@GenXWildChildCreatress]

Absolutely GORGEOUS!! What a terrific way to upcycle old CD’s!!! I now use a DVD burner in my computer and have a big ol’ stack of cd’s that have just been sitting in my desk, with the cover on, gathering dust, lol. Definitely going to try this!!! I’m going to be doing a paint party with a couple girlfriends for an end of summer playtime get-together soon, so I’ll do up a few before and show them how to do it as well ❤️ (All credit going to my favourite dot mandala artist of course 😉😘). Love that you did the fishing knot, lol, I also grew up fishing here in Alberta so it’s one I’m quite familiar with...best knot for this, hands down! (I’m like you in the other way...I don’t like to eat fish, and catch & release just seems kind of cruel to me, so I no longer fish. These days I go and just sketch by the pond as our dogs play in the water instead 😉). Thanks so much for doing your videos!!! Your tutorials inspired me to get back into dot painting after too long away from it and I am LOVING this art form all over again ❤️

[@LydiaMay]

I love this! Thank you for sharing. 😊😙💕

[@makinghobbies7345]

It's soooo pretty! I totally wanna try something like this =) I was watching another video and it mentioned that CDs have one layer, and DVDs have two layers that can be separated. So to do this with a DVD maybe try separating the layers first (video I'm referring to is called "DIY Room Decor / CD wall art ideas / Easy recycled project" and in it, they boil the DVDs in water to help separate the layers)

[@riashetty]

Heyyy I watched that video last night... Nice video right?

[@Blkbeautee]

It is beautiful!!! I have a ton of CDs to toss which will make great practice. Thank you.

[@kitwickliff]

Love to see more of this!
