Thank you guys so much for being here! I see all your comments about wanting to see tool sizes and I hear you... Unfortunately, many people in the community all use various types/brands of tools so it's hard. I will be testing out various different tools to see which ones work best for tutorials moving forward. Regardless of which tools I chose, they will not be the same that everyone else is using. Lucky for us, a lovely soul has created a "Tool Conversion Chart" that is available for download.

[@cheryllynnalston-morton9512]

New subscriber, I used to live in Utah also!!

[@thoughtfuldots]

Welcome!!! Did you? Where’d you move off to? I love Utah! ❤️

[@tinarhoades3178]

Beautiful pattern and great colors!! It's very regal and looks like a design of precious stones. Another wonderful piece of work by you! With the chalk pencils that fall apart, I've had some success in using an old eyebrow pencil sharpener--which seems to be a little more kinder while sharpening than regular pencil sharpeners. (Sadly, the brand name has worn off the sharpener and I haven't been able to find another exactly like it.)

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Beautiful mandala! ❤️

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you Susan!!

[@beverlyaten1775]

So beautiful! Could you please tell me where to find that large stone mold? I would love to try one that size, the little ones are difficult for me. Thank you for your wonderful videos! Never mind!went back and watched again. Right there at beginning😊

[@samiestewart6109]

I love this step by step tutorial. I just bought those tools but bought them in black, white would have been better, but not a fan. I’m always taken by your color choices. Can’t wait to do this on a round board. Thank you Demi.

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!! I have both the black and white set and I don’t really have much of a preference! You’ll have to let me know what you think of the tools!

[@samiestewart6109]

I don’t really care for them. I like the rods that you use. I bought a set to try and find that I always go for those first. Super easy to clean.

[@pamvandijk8636]

Gorgeous..thanks for sharing your talent..is there a trick to adding the Nuvo drops ..lam thinking about getting them.

[@carlareis8073]

Que sonho ter esses boleadores!!! Acho que nem tem como comprar aqui no Brasil!🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

So beautiful. You have such control over your instruments. Fantastic choice of colors. Love it!

[@deniseakselrod271]

Beautiful design and I love the colors. Do you have any problems getting the guidelines off? I use the same pencils and the same base coat, and sometimes the lines do not come off.

[@elizabetajanevski6745]

Ive just discovered you & im obsessing over dot painting and want to try it myself. You mentioned at the start you purchased your to k but do you also make them yourself? If so do you happen to have a tutorial I’d love to see it. I create trinket trays & dishes using an Acrylic resin compound ( similar to Jesmonite) would that be a good surface to create the art on or is something like Plaster of Paris better?

[@raquelpicazo5404]

Es fantástico tu tutorial!!! te sigo por todas tus redes. la paleta de colores es preciosa ❤️. Busco las herramientas de colores que usas pero no las encuentro, dónde podría comprarlas? me parecen de lo más preciso y práctico. Enhorabuena 👏🏻

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!! Everything is linked in the description of the video ❤️

[@Nathalieroy2624]

How i love these nuvo drops but they are so hard to get here in canada. Where do you get them?

[@corissahowell]

where did you get your turntable?

[@sandraburmester3950]

Where can I get the wooden lazy Susan? Also what size is it?

[@thoughtfuldots]

It’s 10” from Amazon 😊 amzn.to/3d78zs9
