Beautiful!! Your work mesmerises me! I’d love to see you do some designs on some of the smaller moulds from happy dotting company…. The number 3 or 2 for example. Some oval designs would also be fabulous!! 😘🤞

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I can definitely do that :) thank you so much. With out suggestions I sometimes get stuck as to what you’d like to see. I’m on a little break as we just go out new puppy. So lots of time dedicated to her at the moment.

Perfect dolors

Lovely 😍😍🥰

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you ❤️

[@judykritikos2953]

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the background colors. Your choices are spot on, too. I also loved the purple one you showed at the beginning. If you dotted that one - could you PLEEEEASE share it, too? I'd love to see the colors you chose for that one. They're so slick and shiny - could almost slide right off of them! Thanks for another beautiful creation.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I will dot it and it’s sitting on my desk. Not sure I’ll have a meeting tutorial for a while as life just got busy. But I do post everything on Instagram :) Thanks so much 🥰

Belíssimo 👏👏👏👏👏

[@maggiecrandall8234]

Can I ask what you use under the stone to make it easier to spin it around? Thank you! Your work is amazing!

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Maggie. It’s just a small turning disc. Or also called a lazy Susan. This one I don’t have a link to as I got it at my local store called Industrial Plastics and paint.

[@gailgilliam2656]

Simply beautiful ! Do the Beaute Galleria Stylus tools come color coded as yours are? Also do they indicate the mm size for ea. ball tip? If not, how will I figure out their correct size.? Thanks allot for taking time to answer my questions.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I would just measure your tools and mark them. I originally colour coded like Christina Lees but for tutorials I found people like to know the mm size instead.

[@lululeah4606]

Beautiful! May I ask what you sealed it with? And did it effect your background?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I used resin and it actually makes it all really shiny ! :)

[@kerryshattock3259]

Have not been able to find the green gold base pain you used on line can you help at all with any information on where to get it that would be very appreciated.

[@ProductEvaluator.]

Yet another fantastic video, thank you. Can you tell me where you get your little pots for your paint from please?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I just found them easily enough on Amazon. Just search paint pots .

[@ProductEvaluator.]

@@SusanNelsonCreations Thanks, I have found just what I was looking for 👍

[@erikasturquoisefeather4721]

This is very helpful as well as beautiful! What are you using under your rocks? Also do you sell them?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Erika! Are you talking about the spinning thing under that rotates my rock?if it’s the small one I get from my local hardware store Industrial Plastics and Paint for about $7 I use another bigger one and you can get them on Amazon . (Lazy Susan )

[@erikaweston2083]

I was. I have finally found tiny susans selling 4 for a good price. I can use for different uses. Thank you!

[@elizabethcalvo4652]

Beautiful where did you buy that kind of tools? Can I find them in Michaels?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Hi Elizabeth, I usually put links to most of the items I use in my video descriptions . I’d say the only things o get at Michaels would be paints. The tools I buy off Etsy or Amazon .

[@elizabethmccabe]

Thank you very much for your help. I will order them in Amazon.

[@kathybray7156]

I dont think it's to much that's why you're the expert and I am the student

[@monicamees7598]

I just received 4 silicone molds to make my own stones. Do you know what a good powdered cement would be and how to do it with water?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

It depends on where you live and what you have access to. I use HydroStone 30 gram powder and 100 grams water. I like this product because it’s super strong and smooth. Very few bubbles to worry about too. Ultracal 30 is also a great product . Some people use cement all, and other cement type products but I do find they are more gritty.

[@monicamees7598]

@@SusanNelsonCreations Thank you so much for getting back to me! I’m so excited to do my first 4 stones in those molds. Stay tuned! 😆

Question.....I use Marks mandalas tools. Do you know if they are the same size numbers as you are using? If not, This will not turn out like yours.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

They are not the same sizing. If you down load a tool conversion chart (links in video description ) it will have all the different tool sizes in mm.

Ahoj, z čoho je tá mandala? Či ako si ju spravila?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Táto mandala bola vyrobená z tvarovaného kameňa, ktorý som vyrobil od spoločnosti Happy dotting. Môžete to však namaľovať na akýkoľvek 4,5 -palcový povrch.

Thank you for the feedback. Not sure what more I can do but will look at it for my next one. I do find this with other videos I watch…I just do what you did. I can’t afford a proper microphone and set up as I do this for free…maybe one day I’ll be able to upgrade ! :-)

[@carolinegunzburg2002]

@@SusanNelsonCreations I completely understand. I wasn't sure if it was just me as I don't normally have the problem too often (I do with some other videos as well). I'm thankful for your videos as I'm learning a lot from you !!! I'm just starting out.
