Demi, your videos are the BEST on KZbin. You are so thoughtful to include all the information one would need to reproduce your masterpieces. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your effort and care. Those of us that are not that artistic really benefit from your designs and your eye for color palette choices. Thanks much.

Love all your videos since I started last September. You are so good explaining everything. I have made so many pieces by following you. I've been improving my work and getting so many compliments from friends and family. Thank YOU SO MUCH!❤❤❤

[@thoughtfuldots]

These are the comments that really keep me going and motivated so thank you! Glad I could help.

Demi, I’m a beginner and I just love your tutorials so much. You have such a nice speaking voice and I appreciate your calmness! If I send you a picture of what I’ve done so far, could you tell me if I have a chance of success? 😅 Thanks so very much. Ann

Absolutely gorgeous, as always!! ❤

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!

[@hildafrauenfelder3292]

It’s even more beautiful with the grey background ❤🎉

This is gorgeous, I love how you go with the flow! I feel better watching your videos over ones that have these elaborate stencils drawn out...I cant draw all that great so I mark out the grid and just let the design come to me... I love how you do that too!!!

[@thoughtfuldots]

Yess!!! That is what I love most about this art form. The "flow" is so meditative. I am glad you enjoy that too!

[@M-PowerKM]

This looks so much fun, would love to try these rocks one day :) Thanks Demi🥰😍

[@thoughtfuldots]

They are so fun to paint!! You're welcome friend.

[@hildafrauenfelder3292]

Beautiful….

Hi Demi. thank you for another great tutorial. I am definitely going to try this combination of colors. Do you mind telling where do you buy nuvo drops from? Love from California

[@thoughtfuldots]

Hi there!! The company that makes them is called Tonic Studios and you can buy from their site! I also buy from a place called Honey Bee Stamps: honeybeestamps.com/products/nuvo-crystal-drops-choose-your-color

Thank you!

[@whistlepig996]

Have you ever worked with an oval? How does on make the grid lines…any idea?

[@thoughtfuldots]

I have not! But if I were going to I would probably make them the same. Maybe I will try sometime!

[@maggie.8888]

I just saw a video by shwetaart03 that shows how to do this. She shows how she finds center and then draws "false" guidelines by measuring equidistance around the oval she traced in the center, and then she connects them.

[@carriedotson9926]

By chance do you have any coupon codes for Devon Dotting

[@thoughtfuldots]

No but I will see if I can get one ♥️

[@carriedotson9926]

I can’t find your dads shop on Etsy. Can I get the silicone mold from him?

[@thoughtfuldots]

No, he sells the rocks already made. The mould is from Devon Dotting! I’ve added the links to the video description

[@deenawillis1597]

What color did you for your background color?
