    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.

    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
      @LydiaMay  5 лет назад +1

      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. 🙌😙💕

    @deanablythe9394 5 лет назад

    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
