Did some #DotPainting the last couple of nights. :) Made a little metallic blue and gold magnet, and also got started on a new larger stone with a flower-like design on it. Still trying to figure out the rest of the colours. :thinking_rotate:

And the second stone is a little one I made for myself, a "worry stone" to replace my old one which I gave to a friend.
This stone features thick dollops of gloss glaze on top of the dot shapes forming a raised/textured surface that is wonderfully tactile and lovely to rub your fingers over. It turns the stones into lovely little fidget toys or meditation tools.
Anyway, I'm really fond of this one! It feels wonderful to hold and to fidget with. It uses some of my favourite colours, too. :da_grin:

I have a couple dot paintings to share with you today! The first one I finished up last week sometime, a rather detailed one with colours and patterns inspired by Princess Jasmine from the Disney movie "Aladdin". :da_boogie:
I really like the blue/turquoise patterns in this one. The gold shapes on the outside were an experiment, but they're also kind of neat! :mandala:

Slowly playing around with simple celtic knots. A triquetra, or Trinity Knot, for this one. I'll put some WIP pics in the replies for anyone interested.
Another one I'm pretty pleased with. :) This one was given to our good friend @neilk. :hearthands:

I was playing around with sketching petal shapes on a grid, and thought this looked a lot like an echeveria or other kind of succulent, so I ran with it. :D
Really pleased with this one! 🪴 :da_grin: The whole design and colours just fill me with joy. ☺️

A quick post and run… a couple of dot painted stones I made in the last week. The first one was just a free-handed geometric pattern I drew on the initial grid, and the second features pastel colours chosen by a friend of mine. The pattern for that one wasn't planned or anything, it just came out as I went.
(I playfully call the design in the second one "Pastel Butt-Stuff". X) I'm such a child, haha. :da_sweat: )

One more little one… a small dot painting that I hope to turn into a fridge magnet (I've been waiting on craft magnets to arrive for weeks now :da_sweat: ).

This was a fun one! 🤩 Love the way the pattern turned out, and the colours! I'll have to try this design again someday…
(I made a silly error when glossing it that resulted in some surface imperfections, but they're not very noticeable, thankfully! And I learned what to avoid for next time. :da_sweat: )

This was a fun one! :D Wanted to do another grid painted stone like the green one I did a couple weeks ago (You can see that one here: https://comicscamp.club/@Rheall/113910812350609255 ).
I call this one "Mermaid Discoball". :da_grin: I gave it to one of my best friends for her birthday. :da_boogie:

AmandalaRocks posted a video where she painted this stone a couple weeks ago, and I had just received my own "sphere" mold, so I thought I'd give it a go! (And even though I was using the same mold, the same tools, the same paints, etc., my measurements/tool sizes were all off compared to hers… oof. x__x Not sure what went wrong there! I guess I wasn't exact enough with my dot placement… I need more practice!)
I hadn't done a stone with this many dots in such close, regular quarters as this before, and I think it shows. ^^; Hers is much more regular and clean. Not to mention, this was the first time I tried out my own handmade paint cones for the tiny accent dots in such large quantities, and yeah, I wasn't the best at it… they're all over the place. :da_sweat:
Still, I made a cool thing! :da_w00t: If you want to see how you can make your own, you can check out AmandalaRocks' how-to video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHghM1S55-8

Wanted to paint but was low on creative energy, so I just filled in the grid lines with metallic paint. Inspired again by one of AmandalaRocks' designs on YouTube. Mine's not exactly the same, but the idea is! So many thanks to her for it. I like the result, so I'll probably do this again with different colours/patterns someday. :da_grin:

A newly finished dot painted art stone and a tealight candle holder. :mandala:
The tea light holder design was inspired by one of AmandalaRocks' designs, but I don't think I executed it very well. I'm happy with how the outer gold elements turned out, though! Still trying to figure out how I'm going to incorporate paint pens into my practice.

The painting continues… :mandala: It's my safe space right now. :sparkling_heart_black_trans: :hug: :chick_hotcocoa:
The design is from AmandalaRocks on Youtube; I absolutely love her designs, and her videos: https://www.youtube.com/@AmandalaRocks/ :da_love:

Finished this one up a couple nights ago. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! A bit art deco, a bit nouveau, I think? :da_grin:

So here it is all glossed up, for those interested. :) My friend liked it a lot! :da_love:

Whipped this one up one night when we got back from our Xmas trip. I missed my dot painting so much! It'll be a gift for a friend. :) Extra layers on some of the dots make them "pop" a bit, and will hopefully be a pleasing tactile experience once it's all glossed up. :blobpatpat:

…NOW we're finished! :da_boogie:
Added a layer of silver highlights to the swooshes, to add some extra shininess. :D It's probably a bit too much, "gilding the lily," as they say, but it was fun anyway! All varnished up, too, so it's *done* done. :da_phew:
How you enjoyed watching it come together! I really enjoyed painting it, it was so relaxing. Lots of love, everyone! :blobhug2:

I think this is my favourite dot painting I've done to date. :ablobcatattention: The photos don't really do it justice… it feels so special and precious when I hold it in my hands. :da_love:
I have no idea what I'd call this design, though, if I had to give it a name. Any ideas? :thinking_rotate:
DecoArt Americana acrylic paint on a Ultracal 30 plaster cast "stone", then varnished with DecoArt Duraclear Gloss Varnish.
