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: )

A photo of a dot painted flat round plaster stone. The design is a geometric pointed sun with many points drawn with a gold pen, with the points filled in with blue, red, and purple metallic paint. The centre of the "sun" is filled with gold radiating teardrop shapes. The sun is "outlined" with metallic gold and copper dots, and there is a gold oval shape painted in the negative space between each point. There is a white dotted line encircling the entire design.
The same "sun" design, but photographed from the top down, to better see the entirety of the design.
A flat oval-shaped plaster stone, dot painted with a radiating circular design of various pastel pink, coral, green, white, and metallic pale teal dots on a black background, some joined together to make blobby shapes (some reminiscent of adult toys, whoops!). It's a busy and chaotic design.
The same pastel blobby dot painted stone, but photographed from the top down.

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: )

A photo of a dot painting on a round plaster stone. the design consists of a six-pointed star shape filled with radiating teardrop shapes in metallic colours of purple, pink, and turquoise. The star in the centre is circled with scallop shapes filled with the same teardrop starburst patterns. It's punctuated with metallic silver lines and dots.
Showing off the side scallop designs and silver dots.

Holding the stone in my hand, 3/4 view. It's nice and shiny.

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: youtube.com/watch?v=gHghM1S55-

A large, spherical dot painted stone sits on a wooden tabletop. Its surface is covered in rows of hundreds of small metallic white dots radiating down from a large centre gold dot at the top. Each row the dots get slightly bigger, until past the widest point, where they get smaller again. Some of the white dots are painted metallic gold in a pattern that makes a cascading diamond design. It's busy, but the regular placement of the dots makes for a pleasing pattern when taken in at once.
A photo of the top of the sphere, showing the large, round, metallic gold centre dot, with the rows of small white dots around it, slowly getting larger. It's easier to see how the gold-coloured dots make a bit of a starburst shape around the centre.

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 small, oval-shaped plaster art stone, painted with a radial grid of black lines, each section filled in with different shades of metallic green paint. It gives a neat effect of the colour going from light to dark on each row, offset by one; like an expanding light show/music visualizer frozen in time.

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.

A photo of a dot-painted art stone, with an eight-pointed flower design. The centre dot is gold, the inner petals are a pinkish red and white, and the outer petals are swooshes of pale green. Framing the petals are decadent looking teardrop shapes in gold and bronze. The whole flower design is outlined with bronze dots.
The same stone with the flower design, from the top down, to better see the symmetry.
A photo of a round dot-painted tealight candle holder. Circular elements with radial stripes of blue, turquoise, green, and yellow-green encircle the inner well that holds the tealight. The circular elements are surrounded with gold and black dots that look a little like some kind of lace. The hole thing is painted black beneath the design.
The same tealight candle holder, but photographed from the top, showing more of the symmetry.
