Please message me via Etsy and I can send you some casting powder information. Thank you, Anjela 😊 happydottingcompany.etsy.com

There’s particular drops for puffy dots eg Nuvo drops that are straight from the bottle. However when using your own paint mix you really have to layer (load up each dot) and work the dot into a perfect shape eg with a stylus. It’s not easy and certainly don’t recommend for beginners. Watching @artofpoints you’ll see what I mean 😊

@@HappyDottingCompany thank you very much!

I consistently hear people have poor results with large tools that are rounded on the ends - they were actually developed for clay modelling - but are now sold for dotting by sellers that have never painted a dot.

Can be either - please see our other UA-cam video - How to make Art Stones Including Hints and Tips, Happy Dotting Company

Hi, I don't sell finished products/art peices - only supplies to make dot mandala art. www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany

@@HappyDottingCompany Thanks 😊

There’s no need product. This is just a suggestion for smoothing out the texture on canvas.

Let me know if you think it works well. 😊

@@HappyDottingCompany will do! 💞🙏🙂🤗

Hi Nancy, It depends what dotting stencils you mean. To be honest many stencils that are advertised as dotting stencils by different sellers don't do this art and the stencils aren't much benefit. I know @Fairmaidenmarket uses a lot of stencils so you may want to look at her website or social media channels.

Hi, it's our 10mm blue rod from our basic dotting tool set or the 10.0 is the same size in our Superset of dotting tools. Both available via our Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany Thank you, Anjela 😊

it is gorgeous but she stopped after the walking the dots on the 3rd line and jumps to a totally different mandala thats not the same, grrrr i was doing it as she was now bam nothing to finish that one

Not this one but there's a beginner "Carnival" one in my Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany Thank you, Anjela 😊

I make them and they're only available in our Etsy shop at the moment. Thanks, Anjela. www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany

You're welcome Karen, thank you! Anjela 😊

That’s what I use!

Yeah we have it but it's very expensive as it comes via USA and another throw-away plastic.

That's a great idea Kathleen! Thank you, Anjela 😊

Just regular acrylic paint - I don't recommend any particular brand. 😊

I have heard that these products are available in the UK and work well. - Crystacast or Herculite Stone

@@HappyDottingCompany thank you so much! I have your measurement for ultracal 30 sheet it came with my moulds when I downloaded from your Etsy shop. I’m wondering if it’s the same with these UK products?

You're welcome. Unfortunately, the measurements/ratios are unlikely to be the same - but I don't know. 😟 @@thegreenwoodhub1279

I just use acrylic paint - (no particular brand) for the background colour. If you getting heavily textured brush marks you could try thinning your paint with some water (give a couple of coats if necessary) or use a finer bristled brush if you think the bristles are very coarse or stiff. I wouldn't be too fussy about the background as any art you put on top will hide the background.

I’ve been meaning to for a long time. I need to make it a priority 😘

@@HappyDottingCompany definitely 👍

Thank you, Anjela 😊

Hi! Many people use a range of different products including cement based ones. I don't know if Portland cement exactly has been used. You may find a comment on this in the pinned post on our FB page which is about casting. 😊

Sorry I don't know - I don't have any experience with that product. Thank you, Anjela

Yes you do 👍

Thank you Michelle. 😊

It's 12mm diameter. Sorry I don't know an Amazon site that sells that size. If you message me on Etsy I can create a custom order for some. Thank you, Anjela 😊 www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany

@@HappyDottingCompany I just recently made 3 orders from your store. I’m gathering all the tools such as rasps to file down the rocks base, I ordered ultracal 30, I bought acrylic paints, and I have some dotting tools as well. I’m teaching dot painting workshops using your tealight candle, pen holder and rock moulds as soon as the orders arrive from your shop. I’m really looking forward to teach my participants! I think the pen holder with a glass test tube with a flower in it would make a beautiful mother days workshop for dot painting! Also the tea candle light mould in heart shape would be perfect for a Valentines workshop as well! Thank you for your help!

De rien. Apprécier :)

I'm not sure you'll find it glossy enough for that purpose - but good luck! 😊

It's in our Etsy site shop. www.etsy.com/shop/HappyDottingCompany Thank you, Anjela 😊

Making a large mold or large casting? Feel free to send us an email info@happydottingcompany.com

Hi, I'll attach some information below. “What powder do I buy to make the Art Stones?” PLEASE SEE UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/_zGlQ4gA4Jk/v-deo.html What mix you use depends on your location and what you have available. Many different casting plasters work well. I like using Ultracal 30. Unfortunately, in some places it can be hard to get or expensive. Please note there is a downloadable data sheet on my website with the mixing quantities for Ultracal 30 for each mold and stone dimensions (the same ratios work for Perfect Cast). www.happydottingcompany.com Some alternative casting plasters include - USA/Canada - Perfect Cast, Rapid set Mortar mix from Home depot, Quikrete, Mapei, Dental Stone powder, Hydrocal powders, In the UK - Crystacast or Herculite Stone, In Aust and NZ. I buy my Ultracal 30 from Barnes (a shop in Woolloongabba, Brisbane) - I believe they have other outlets. Another option is Dental plaster by Gyprock (by special order from Bunnings) or Casting Plaster by Gyprock from Bunnings. Mitre 10 and other hardware stores probably have similar products too. Sometimes these products only come in big bags but then it’s very economical. Regards, Anjela

@@HappyDottingCompany Grazie!

I recommend not completely filling molds - leaving the level slightly below the rim will result in a cleaner bottom of the casting. Thank you, Anjela 😊
