    I Love your tutorials; thank you!! I've been having so much fun painting...something I never previously imagined I could do! I also appreciate when you say "we're not machines" in regards to not stressing if we didn't make a perfect dot or placement. You said that in another video tutorial and it really helped me let go of perfectionism stress. Dot mandala painting is turning out to be a great form of meditation for me...so if I start feeling any stress coming up over an "imperfect" dot placement, I say: "It's okay...you're not a machine! It will add character to the end result"! ;)

    • @LydiaMay
      @LydiaMay  Před 6 lety +2

      @@LydiaMay That's the difference between human and machine. 😊
      Think about any art painting, it looks perfect. An artist might not be satisfied, they hardly ever do but we love them. No machine could never imitate human handmade art. That's why handmade items are more precious. They are all unique. I could say as if they were handmade haute couture costume. 🌞

    You are so wonderful to watch you paint your dots, Lydia! It's so relaxing (almost too relaxing!!). I'm in the process of purchasing all my materials, and then I can start. I've loved drawing 'dots' since I was five and tend to draw all kinds of things from Dots! So I know I'm going to love doing this with you. I want to thank you, you're so down to earth and explain the directions very clear. I appreciate you sharing your craft.

A winter storm is headed for the east coast. (16 December 2020) Glad I watched this again. Any viewers reading this comment: watch the ads. It helps her channel.
