About 25 years ago we started a tradition of painting ceramic ornaments, usually on the 23rd of December, when my cousins, aunt's, and uncles on my mother's side get together for Christmas. Until my mid-twenties, painting an ornament was a chore, which I quickly completed without any fuss, but just to appease my mom. It was always a race between us kids to grab the easiest blank ornament (like a flat Candy Cane or Stocking) that required little to no detail. Personally, I'd paint one side only, initial and date the back, and place it in the "to be fired" box. However, in recent years I have put more effort into my ornaments. I show up with a plan and take pride in the finished product. I must say, as annoying as it was when I was a teenager, these days I get excited to see how last year's ornaments will turn out glazed and fired. Thanks mom for starting that tradition and compelling us to participate every year, even if it meant holding our gifts hostage until everyone finished painting their ornament. So that was the long way to say, I plan to paint the design from this video on my ornament this year.

Its really nice that you set up the kits. Paint inventory has been a real issue in my area CT. With AC Moore gone in my area, I figured Michaels and Hobby Lobby would have some of the surplus paint, I imagine the manufacturers would want to replace that hole in business but nooo it's crazy how little paint there is at my local stores. The workers keep telling me it sells as fast as it goes up on the shelves due to COVID everyone is becoming an artist. I even went to Blick and they had a bunch of heavy bodied acrylic paint but not alot of craft paint. Although Ocean State Job Lot has paint I love and their stock seems pretty good for now but their colors are a bit limited. I feel like I need to be a paint hoarder. Although I have been told that I have enough paint to last 10 lifetimes. LOL :)

I leave the springy cap off and just set it on my desk to dry. I will rotate it to the other side each day and leave it there for a few days. It could be your climate. A warmer, dry place to kind of set and forget them, is best.

@LydiaMay 3 жыл бұрын

You need to rorate them each day until dry and make sure all sides are coated. If they sit in one position, the paint will run away from the highest side leaving it looking kind of cracked. When you see that, rotate it and tap the paint back in place and leave it in that position for a while. Mine dried and was fully coated after a couple of days of rotating it that way. I hope that helps! ✌😊🎨💕

Hi Lydia, I have a question that is not really related to this project but I need help as I am a beginner at dot painting. The thing I am having trouble with is doing larger dots, my small dots are looking ok even though they have that little nodule in the middle they usually flatten out and even if they don't, I don't mind but my larger dots don't have that little nodule, they have like a whole pattern going on within the dot. What am I doing wrong? Please help me Lydia.

@LydiaMay 3 жыл бұрын

You're likely pressing down too hard. You don't want the tool to touch the canvas. Just push until you can see paint start to come out from under the tool and lift. Also, feel free to re-dip and re-dot. Have you watched my beginners guide? I have a whole beginners playlist you could watch to help. Have FUN 💕

I wonder if you can help me with this a few months ago I braved up the courage to ask Rachel's rocks but she ignored me. I'm really hoping you can help. I used to be into pebble painting bad Depoucage until I noticed white paint turns yellow in the sun. How can you get white pebble paint without it going yellow? Also what varnish is best to use cus that can make the paint turn yellow too.
