My dad always told me “Those who know you, know better. And those who don’t, don’t matter”. Ignore the snarks Rachel, there’s so many of us who love and appreciate your tutorials, who adore your creations and value all the hard work and time you put into your tutorials. You’ve truly helped me to keep trying to get better and gaining skills at my painting, and every single stone I’ve made from your tutorials are a massive hit with my friends & other painting buddies. You inspire me to keep trying every day, and I very much appreciate all that you do, regardless of what a few spiteful, nasty, unhappy little trolls may think. This is gorgeous!! Just got my first HDC stone Mold in the mail today, can’t wait to start experimenting with it - only hard part will be deciding which of your tutorials to try on one first 😉
I love what your Dad told you! It’s so true & I’m going to pass it on, especially, to my grandchildren! Thank you for sharing that! Happy painting with Rachel!
Rachel, ignore when people make bad comments, they are not worth it. It gives me great pleasure to watch your brilliant art. I live 50/50 in England and Spain, finding the products are a challenge. Thank you ♥️
I lost the love of my life nearly 6 years ago ...I'm never quite comfortable just with myself ...rock painting really helps my mind wander on color and form ..I've learned blending is my friend lol...ignore the snarkers I think they maybe jealous. 💜
Rachel.. ignore the haters. They are dust in the wind..blow them off. Know that your tribe (me included) find your work, especially the madellas, are breath-takingly beautiful! They are a unique work of art! You inspire us, uplift us, give us the courage to do new things and stretch our boundaries. And, if we can come close to doing something as beautiful, the sense of accomplishment can carry over in other areas of our lives as well. I find it a form of meditation..a time where we become the creators. Your contribution cannot be understated, and you voice and your laugh are lyrical, comforting and I love listening to you talk..you are not obligated to please everyone, and I find it offensive and childish that anyone would criticize anything you do. You have taken your time to teach us something beautiful and I honor that about you! Clearly, you are a kind and loving soul to share your gifts and talents with us. To anyone who cannot appreciate your time and talents, they are not worthy of one tiny second of your consideration.. you're beautiful, generous and one of the best teachers I've encountered, and I, for one, wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart. All our love!
I'm so sad that anyone would leave a snarky comment. I don't know what they would have to say, but that you are an amazing artist and teacher. I feel blessed to have found you on here and have learned so much. Prayers for you and your family during this stressful time. ❤
I've never commented on any of your videos, but when you said that some people make negative comments about your laugh, I was compelled to say something! Your laugh, chuckle, giggle, whatever you want to call it, your calming voice, and your down to Earth comments, are what attracted me to watch many of your videos! Shake the haters off, and continue doing what you do! I've been painting rocks, with my grandkids, that we find on the Lake Michigan shores, for several years now. We paint most to hide, and bring joy to others. The really good ones that I paint, my grandkids force me to hold onto. Some of them, I've given as gifts. Rock painting is very soothing and helps bring the talents of my grandkids out. As they've gotten better, their self esteem has also gotten better. PLEASE NEVER LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL LESS THAN! h I, and I'm sure many others, feel as though we could easily sit down with you, and have coffee and great conversions. You always make me smile!
How sad are people criticizing you,take no heed, you have no idea how much you help people including myself,when my granddaughter died i so needed something that i could do for her when tending her grave and i can add your stones which provides me and her big brother with so much comfort. i would love if you could actually show me how to do a stone with the word granddaughter on its the only one i havnt got . I might also add doing this has given me so much contentment and peace of mind,i thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxx
How awful and I cannot even imagine. Truly sorry for your loss. I also enjoy Rachel's rocks and tutorials. She is so kind and restful in her descriptions.
@@marianmob716 im so very very sorry to hear this,to be honest there are no words that can make you feel any better,im sure your like myself and would trade your life for hers,my heart breaks for you,so so sorry to know your having to bear this xxxx
@@DressYourHorse thank you Heidi they say everyone has their own way of co ping with grief and i agree ,Rachel helps me with that and ill be eternally grateful xxx
I so love all of your tutorials! You are Fantabulous 💕💕💕. Those that have nothing nice to say are just jealous. Do not waste your precious energy on them. Your family needs you and we need you “HAPPY “! 👍👏💕💕💕
You can’t be everybody’s cup of tea as Casey Muskgraves sings.....nor do you want to for those who feel it necessary to be negative over your fabulousness! Us creative, loving, emotionally intelligent people, think your the best thing since sliced bread. RACHEL ROCKS... don’t ever forget that. It’s people like you who truly make a difference in the world.
Hey Rachel, You really have helped me and my 98 year old mother. Especially during this pandemic. I saw your dragonfly tutorial and was floored. I followed your tutorial and made one the best I could. I gave it to my mom on her last b-day. That encouraged her to start trying to make mandalas. Gives her a creative outlet. I'm a 66 yr. old musician and your singing is real good. Thanks for sharing your creativity and talent with us. You're the bomb.
It’s beautiful, Rachel, and so are you: a beautiful person! Sorry you have so much stress going on in your life. (And I HATE bullies; especially the adult ones... they know better😡!) Please keep up your awesome videos!
Thanks for all the inspiration. We have 4 generations painting through the pandemic. Love each and every time. Keep up the wonderful video's. Very appreciated.
My Mom always said if you don’t have anything nice to say. Don’t say anything... They just have their own issues so being mean to someone else makes them feel better. Don’t let them rent space in your head. Thank you for sharing. I LOVE all your rocks. 🤪🥳🤩👁
I am always amazed how 3D your paintings appear after you resin them. The seed of life holds a special meaning for me personally and I love how it turned out. Purple is my favorite color too. Gorgeous work! ❤
Hi Rachel, please don't worry about those snarky jerks, they're just jealous that they can't paint as beautifully as you do! You always thank those of us who follow you and make nice comments, but I have to say that YOU have inspired me to paint better. I have learned so much from you, just watching your videos. I'm 76 yrs. young and I've always been a home artist and crafts person. But when I got older, especially after I retired, I just let it all go and did almost nothing. But about a year ago, I re-discovered Pinterest and you. I watched one of your videos and I was hooked! Now I spend every day in my little studio (a 2nd bedroom at my daughters house), and I'm always doing some kind of craft or painting. So a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU for giving me a reason to get up on the morning!
First let me say... I LOVE watching your videos!!... you are a very talented artist and a beautiful person with a good heart. Do NOT blink an eye at the immature people that have negative remarks. It’s not about YOU, it’s about THEM...people that tear down other people are CLEARLY unhappy with themselves. People that are happy with who they are are happy for OTHER PEOPLE!!...they are insecure and unhappy people that you should be proud not to be a part of!!!!.....KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO!!!...you’re awesome!!👍😎
Rachel, the law says that all snarkers are suppose to stay in their closets! They are not meant to come out and upset wonderful, loving, sharing people like you! We love you and appreciate that you share your designs. You are a beautiful person and don't you ever forget it!!!
You are an earth angel what a gift your talent brings to us all and such joy.I love your laugh it makes me smile everytime.Dont give your power away shine your light and your beautiful rocks for all to see be proud of yourself and dont give nasty people the time of day.Shine bright for all the world to see✨🌈🦋🌹✨
I don't actually paint rocks. I like you and I like to listen to you talk,. You really enjoy what you do and it makes me smile. I can't imagine anyone saying anything negative about you. You are so sweet and caring . People are lucky to have you and your videos.
I sold one of my first rock paintings...ever! I sold a mermaid tale.....! What a blast....! Thank you, so much for your wonderful videos. I have watched and enjoyed them all and greatly appreciate all that you do! Thank you!!
Thank you for devoting so much time of your life to this art. It is so therapeutic for me, I Love to Listen to music while I paint. I love your laugh and the unique creativity you have been blessed with. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us😊
Let our love for you cancel out the hate. It completely outweighs anything they could say. Trolls are everywhere and they have no positive value to bring. You have inspired me beyond any way you could ever begin to know. I used to love to paint and haven’t for years. You gave me a foot up in starting again. I want to thank you for bringing that out in me again. You are very loved! ❤️
I have a rock family! I love just to watch you but love to paint. When my son passed I started to paint rocks and found your channel. Now I REALLY paint rocks. I love to hear you laugh. I always want to laugh with you!
I love your tutorials. I’m 63 yrs old & I’ve been collecting rocks for a few yrs now and now I can use some of your ideas for painting on them because it’s hard for me to come up with ideas of what to paint on my own. I haven’t tried this one yet but I’ve painted some owls using your tutorial. Of course they don’t look exactly like yours or exactly like each other but I’m very happy with them!. I’m going to try this one next! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent & your laughter too! It’s beyond me why people feel the need to make nasty comments when nothing is personally addressed to them. If they don’t like something they should feel free to move on!
I absolutely luv you Rachel! I hope the negative comments don't keep you from me. I need you! You have inspired and helped me in so many ways i can't list them all. Please please please keep doing what you do and don't let crabby ppl get you down.💜💜💜
Rachel you have over 41000 people who think you are awesome. Your art is amazing and beautiful just like you. I love that you have given me the confidence to follow a tutorial of yours and know that it will be beautiful when I'm done. Listen to your over 41000 followers not the 1 or 2 jealous haters. 🎨
You are an amazingly artistic soul. Your laugh and voice is very soothing. I watch you paint at night because it calms my anxiety. You and Bob Ross have a very calming demeanor. Thank you for all your art.
We are ALWAYS here for you. Just remember misery loves company. The thumbs down are people who are jealous, miserable and hate their lives. Take them in your mind, open your door and fling them out with the trash. Keep smiling and painting, because WE appreciate you. You have inspired me to paint and push my limits. I find it very relaxing. Kisses and well wishes from Toronto 😘❤
I think your laugh is great! Reminds me of my best friend! Your painting is amazing and ideas too, haters will always hate! Be you , don't worry about the " Negative Nellys" , painting is therapeutic for me as well and you have great ideas!❤🎉😊😊😊😊
Hey Rachel, it has really shocked me that you could get any negative comments. I've been watching and listening to your absolutely amazing tutorials since lockdown last year. Beautiful art , voice and soul. It's inspired me so much. Thank you. With love from Mel, bury st Edmunds UK. 😘
You have always helped me with color choices which is something I have always struggled with. You have also helped me to remember that my work doesn't have to look like your work.
I just love watching the way you paint your rocks I am new to painting rocks and your tutorials have shown me so much My partner has dementia/Alzheimer's and will sit with me just fascinated and your laugh just makes them smile So please continue to do what you do and ignore the haters - they are just jealous Rock on!!
Dear Rachel, you are a wonderful person with a beautiful soul. All your rock painting followers, we love you deeply❤ Please ignore all types of bad comments n ugly-mind people; as you are spreading your creativity wings like some magnificent butterfly so it's obvious that a group of people r jealous of you. We love you & every single thing you do, we admire and appreciate your efforts💓🤗 Keep it up. All my blessings are with you n your family. Stay safe, stay healthy. Love you 😚💓
A FEW YEARS to feel comfortable in making a video on this! A FEW YEARS shows def commitment to self learning which is rare on any level. Be it painting rocks, playing a chord on an instrument, perfecting that recipe to your liking even if your a terrible cook, or anything that others might view as not worthwhile, worthy of xtra thought because it’s just not their thing or whatever. But I understand what your saying.
Just watching your videos is super therapeutic. Specially during theses weird times right now. Just to let you know, I’m mesmerized by your videos and your art work and I haven’t done anything all day long except watch you paint 🥰 I’m your new fan
Gorgeous! Thank you for all your videos! Take all the time you need while moving...yes! It is stressful! We can watch any one of your over 90 videos while we wait for you to get settled! We love ya girl!!!!
I feel for you. In 2016 we moved out of the big city, Denver to a small town on the eastern plains. Best move ever!! But it was about 2 hours one way and we had lived at Denver house for 11 years. So it was sad, happy, stressful and mind boggling. You can do it!! I believe in you!! You are awesome!! ❤
I suffer from depression and osteoporosis. I'm always in pain. Sense I started painting with you it made such a difference in my life. It help to focus on something rather than me. I also learned sooo much from you and now I'm trying different ways others paint and combining them with your. I'm in such a different world when I paint. Thank you Rachel.
How it makes me feel? Excited, proud and wanting to show it off. You may find it hard to believe but when I finish something, you are the one that I wish I could show it to. I’m sure feel the same but you make me feel your family but living far away. Thank you for being you.
Rachel, I recent!y !earned dotting, mandala & rock painting & I love it so much. I didn't think I could do any of it, as my hands are no longer steady, but after dotting my first rock, it felt wonderful just to be able to complete it! I wish there was more time in the dat, as I usually wait until all my other chores are done before starting my next project. I saw The Seed of Life done on YT for the first time & tried to start one, but had a hard time with the circles, so that rock sits uncompleted. Your instructions & kind words of encouragement have given me new confidence to finish that rock, so thank you for all your help & your rocks are all beautiful!! MSM is chalk full of criticism & so called know-it-alls, so I wouldn't blame you for giving it back. Who needs them!
I absolutely love your laugh and your beautiful voice.... it keeps me coming back to see more.... I'm inspired to try painting rocks with my grandson... he loves you too.... keep being the best you.
I am so grateful for your videos... I have learned so much! I’ve only been doing this for a short while, but painting rocks has been wonderfully therapeutic! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
Its things like turning the rock and not the compass that make me go aha! Every video there's something helpful. Thanks so much for sharing so many helpful tips. That and of course all the gorgeous stuff!
I adore you and love your artistic flare ...your videos relax me and your laugh makes me smile...don't listen to people who try to bring you down because they are not worth it. You are awesome and bring happiness to many ! 😘
Hi Rachel! New to your channel but not new to rock painting or art in general. Haters and bullies are everywhere! As an artist it is genuinely difficult to let go when the critics are at us non-stop. I have to remember that the people who benefit from my artwork are touched forever by a piece of my mind, heart and soul. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing some of your soul with us! 💜
You are my Rock OB1❣️❣️💖🙏🏻your in my prayers!, I got my molds and waiting for my cement stuff to make my rocks, your seeds of life seed is going to grow 💖❣️❣️💖💐 thank you so-much for sharing your spectacular craft😊😘✨✨💖
You do such beautiful work. And you only hob in life is to take care of yourself and your family. Nobody else matters especially the bullies who are unhappy with themselves
What a lovely design. I really don't get snarky people!!! I also don't understand why anyone would be negative toward you!!! I know it's easier said than done, but please realize that those people are unhappy and seem to need to put others down to make themselves feel better about themselves. Please don't take them in. They don't deserve you!!! Remember you are loved by many! 💕😘💖
You are a beautiful soul. An amazing Artist. With a Heart of Gold. Know that you are Loved & appreciated. Ignore the negativity & keep Shining Bright Queen…👸🏻💜💚🍄
Rachel I not do rock painting and not thinking to do it for now... and still I watch each video and my favorite part of them are YOU. Your voice and positive atitude always trying to laugh making jokes or funny coments. I love also the so colourful and beautiful results of your work. So rock painting is doing nothing for my life right now... but Rachel do it !!! You make me smile and enjoy each video. Keep going and keep smiling. Not all will love you but still they make the effort to critic you and spend time making a coment about your work. You make ppl talk about your work, goods and bads... That's amazing girl! Big kiss and sorry for my english I am born spanish
Rachel, I appreciate your videos. You are making rock painting accessible and I am slowly working up the courage to try this particular art style. Please do not pay attention to folks that feel it is ok to bully others. They feel anonymous and that sometimes leads to "snarky" and childish behavior. I particularly love this design and plan to paint one in blues... Beautiful!
You have inspired me tremendously! I have zero paintbrush experience but my finger sponges have arrived, my brushes are snipped and curled and I have thick black paper to practice on. I am so excited to combine my dotting with all your great ideas! I bought your firefly stone because I simply had to have one of your pieces. You are an art celebrity and I am a just a huge cheesy fan! I won’t be trying this one for a bit, but you have so many other simple ones it will be hard to choose where to start. Maybe the hot air balloon.🎈 Thanks so much for making them all.🙏🏻❤️
I love the control you have over your fine brush - I am still working on that and often end up with loose ends! Will keep working on it - you are such a great example for us all!!!
Rachel, your rocks are wonderful, your personality is bubbly and upbeat, and you are a very special person to share with us how you make your creations. I've learned so much from you, and every time I get an email that you've posted another tutorial, it literally makes my day. This is a saying I tell myself when people aren't as kind as they could be: "Don't stress. Do your best. Forget the rest." Maybe you could make a tutorial from the saying :-)
Thank you so much for your sharing and caring. This is awesome. I don’t usually like exact painting ( Gabe myself permission not to be perfect)but this is very exciting. And , yep, we can’t absorb the negativity of toxic people. My sister always criticizes and puts down my work, but when I did an octopus on a stone ( who knew rock painting could be so fun) she wanted 5 or 10 theme scenes. Asked me what I used for paint. I told her paint from $ store as it is more fluid. Proceeded to say I got to have the fun doing the painting with my $ store paints, while she was paying me. (I was charging her peanuts.) I am amazed how her nasty comments minimize all our research, investment, time, and all our art supplies. But we know we are having fun, therapy, friends, etc. thank you. You are awesome.
I love watching your videos. I have learned soooo much from you. I don't understand why people criticize you. There is no reason to leave mean comments what so ever. You don't charge for your tutorials so what do they have to lose??? Like you say, you don't have to be perfect.
Dear Ms Rachel, your gorgeous creations have and continue to inspire me. I especially love how it up-levels my Mindfulness practice of focus and Presence. Your genuine intention to share and teach through your tutorials are very much appreciated and you are among my top favourites. I too love Purple and adore your fine Gold work. 🌾Fall Blessings sweet Spirit 🙏🏾
I've had the narky confrontations, too. Mostly in person. Which is easy because I can deal with it straight away. I've lost my mojo time and again. Rachel ❤ sweetheart, all I have to do is go to your channel, and you can reel (real) me back in. Sending love from Australia Feb 2024❤
You have helped me tremendously. You got me back into crafting. I had been blocked creatively for over a year...since the death of my dad last year. Following your tutorials for rocks got me into painting tiles as well. And I have slowly been working on a memorial tile for my dad. While I watched tutorials by others, yours were the ones that actually got me past my block and into painting again. Thank you so much!!
Don't listen to anyone making hurtful comments. Your stone and what you do are amazing. Don't let anyone take you joy from you. Love this one and will have to try it. I have been dottng rock for 1yeah now. I have anxiety and panic attacks. Painting or dotting or even just watching your videos has helped me get through those rough days. You are amazing and lovely. Keep them coming. Much love
Hello from New Zealand! 🇳🇿🙂 Yay! I have been hoping for your tutorial for this style for ages - I love it and yours always look so beautiful - thank you so much! 🙏 Can't wait to try it. Your tutorials have got me painting things I never thought I had the ability to do - I enjoy it so much and other people love them. You're a fantastic teacher and I love your tutorials - I've watched every one at least once! Thank you for what you do. 💓
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!! I was so hoping you would make a tutorial on how you make these, they are so gorgeous!!! I love the colors you chose too, it's so cool!!!! You have taught me so much and I always look forward to each and every new tutorial you make!! Painting rocks is so relaxing and it's so fun to create beautiful things that others enjoy!! I've even sold a few thanks to your tutorials!!! So thank you for that!!! Now if only I could quit my day job and just paint all day, now that would be awesome!!! Thank you so much for all you do for all of us, you bring so much joy and I am very grateful for that!!!
Yeah, Rachel, you are back!! Thank goodness! I've been watching & waiting for a new video-you're the Best in my honest opinion. Your voice is very soothing and I could listen to you for hours. Please just continue as is and just be Yourself because your great at what you do. (You wouldn't have over 41K subscribers if you weren't)!
Ty Rachel! I’ve wanted this tutorial! I’ll give it my best shot lol! You always explain what you do so well, and make it look easy! All the best with your move!😊😊😊
This is so pretty! Love the purple, too! (We need to get you to wear your favorite color in your wardrobe - it’ll make for a happier you)! Just gorgeousness! ♥️🌺🎉
Thanks for a great tutorial, Rachel. I finished my seed of life tonight, except for the resin, which I’ll do next weekend. It is my first “official” project. Everything else has been practice on cardstock, and I am so pleased with it!
Rachel I heard you say stuff about the negative and mean people out there. I am so glad you haven’t let them affect your channel. I love you tutorials, I love your laugh, how can anyone not. Your work amazes me and of course your steady hand. Wish I could be so steady. I have completed a few rocks not that you have done though. I’d like to maybe show you on one of your pages. You say practice, practice, practice and that is what I am trying to do. My wish is to be able to get a few Santorini stones and also some of the molds. Then I’ll be set. Just need to save a little. Thank You so much for all your wonderful tutorials. You really brighten my days when I watch you. Hugs. 😘
I have just started with rock painting and appreciate your tutorials. I have really enjoying all of the different styles you paint and the tips you offer. Thank You!
Hello Rachael, wow... wow... wow! I have just discovered you. Your work is beautiful. I can’t stop watching you. I’ve ordered my supplies and can’t wait for them to arrive. In the meantime I’m collecting large stones from my garden (in the UK) and putting them in the dishwasher 😂. If I’m any good these will be my Christmas gifts this year. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. ❤️ Namaste 🙏🏽
Your rocks so beautiful ignore mean spirited people with no life. You offering blessings and your time and skill. A lot people don't share. I love utube teaching. And love your laugh that's what makes us individual one of kind mold broken. Be blessed and press on. Jesus gave you the ability we borrow from his creativity!!
Hi. I am a UK fan of your....A new recruit to rock painting and your videos are very inspiring and beautiful. If I get half as good as you, I would be thrilled. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
This so beautiful! I always say purple is not my favorite but yellow is! I’m beginning to like purples more! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the tutorials you do for this, you’re amazing! I’m so happy to have found you! You ROCK!!! ❤️
That is so pretty! I have only done simple painted rocks. I do however paint canvases. I’m ready to learn and watching your tutorials has me very interested. Thanks for sharing your teachings. 💖
I always look forward to your videos, even if it’s something I wouldn’t be interested in trying. Your voice is soothing and I absolutely LOVE your laugh. Thank you for what you put out in the world. Its a nice breath of fresh air to hear positivity and see some magical art transform in front of your eyes. Keep your head up with the move and take it one day at a time. 💜
My dad always told me “Those who know you, know better. And those who don’t, don’t matter”. Ignore the snarks Rachel, there’s so many of us who love and appreciate your tutorials, who adore your creations and value all the hard work and time you put into your tutorials. You’ve truly helped me to keep trying to get better and gaining skills at my painting, and every single stone I’ve made from your tutorials are a massive hit with my friends & other painting buddies. You inspire me to keep trying every day, and I very much appreciate all that you do, regardless of what a few spiteful, nasty, unhappy little trolls may think.
This is gorgeous!! Just got my first HDC stone Mold in the mail today, can’t wait to start experimenting with it - only hard part will be deciding which of your tutorials to try on one first 😉
💕
Wendy H , very well said and I agree totally!
I love what your Dad told you! It’s so true & I’m going to pass it on, especially, to my grandchildren! Thank you for sharing that! Happy painting with Rachel!
Rachel, ignore when people make bad comments, they are not worth it. It gives me great pleasure to watch your brilliant art. I live 50/50 in England and Spain, finding the products are a challenge. Thank you ♥️
Also want to say - please do not listen to the haters - I love your laugh you are such a positive person don’t let them beat you down ❤️💕💜💗
I lost the love of my life nearly 6 years ago ...I'm never quite comfortable just with myself ...rock painting really helps my mind wander on color and form ..I've learned blending is my friend lol...ignore the snarkers I think they maybe jealous. 💜
Sending my heart to you 😘💕💕💕💕

I've never commented on any of your videos, but when you said that some people make negative comments about your laugh, I was compelled to say something!
Your laugh, chuckle, giggle, whatever you want to call it, your calming voice, and your down to Earth comments, are what attracted me to watch many of your videos! Shake the haters off, and continue doing what you do!
I've been painting rocks, with my grandkids, that we find on the Lake Michigan shores, for several years now. We paint most to hide, and bring joy to others. The really good ones that I paint, my grandkids force me to hold onto. Some of them, I've given as gifts. Rock painting is very soothing and helps bring the talents of my grandkids out. As they've gotten better, their self esteem has also gotten better.
PLEASE NEVER LET ANYONE MAKE YOU FEEL LESS THAN! h
I, and I'm sure many others, feel as though we could easily sit down with you, and have coffee and great conversions. You always make me smile!
Thank you so much😘💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

It’s beautiful, Rachel, and so are you: a beautiful person! Sorry you have so much stress going on in your life. (And I HATE bullies; especially the adult ones... they know better😡!) Please keep up your awesome videos!
Thanks for all the inspiration. We have 4 generations painting through the pandemic. Love each and every time. Keep up the wonderful video's. Very appreciated.
My Mom always said if you don’t have anything nice to say. Don’t say anything... They just have their own issues so being mean to someone else makes them feel better. Don’t let them rent space in your head. Thank you for sharing. I LOVE all your rocks. 🤪🥳🤩👁
I am always amazed how 3D your paintings appear after you resin them. The seed of life holds a special meaning for me personally and I love how it turned out. Purple is my favorite color too. Gorgeous work! ❤
Hi Rachel, please don't worry about those snarky
jerks, they're just jealous that they can't paint as beautifully as you do! You always thank those of us who follow you and make nice comments, but I have to say that YOU have inspired me to paint better. I have learned so much from you, just watching your videos. I'm 76 yrs. young and I've always been a home artist and crafts person. But when I got older, especially after I retired, I just let it all go and did almost nothing. But about a year ago, I re-discovered Pinterest and you. I watched one of your videos and I was hooked! Now I spend every day in my little studio (a 2nd bedroom at my daughters house), and I'm always doing some kind of craft or painting. So a BIG THANK YOU TO YOU for giving me a reason to get up on the morning!
First let me say... I LOVE watching your videos!!... you are a very talented artist and a beautiful person with a good heart. Do NOT blink an eye at the immature people that have negative remarks. It’s not about YOU, it’s about THEM...people that tear down other people are CLEARLY unhappy with themselves. People that are happy with who they are are happy for OTHER PEOPLE!!...they are insecure and unhappy people that you should be proud not to be a part of!!!!.....KEEP DOIN WHAT YOU DO!!!...you’re awesome!!👍😎
Rachel, the law says that all snarkers are suppose to stay in their closets! They are not meant to come out and upset wonderful, loving, sharing people like you! We love you and appreciate that you share your designs. You are a beautiful person and don't you ever forget it!!!
You are an earth angel what a gift your talent brings to us all and such joy.I love your laugh it makes me smile everytime.Dont give your power away shine your light and your beautiful rocks for all to see be proud of yourself and dont give nasty people the time of day.Shine bright for all the world to see✨🌈🦋🌹✨
I don't actually paint rocks. I like you and I like to listen to you talk,. You really enjoy what you do and it makes me smile. I can't imagine anyone saying anything negative about you. You are so sweet and caring . People are lucky to have you and your videos.
You have an extraordinarily stable hand and a wonderful giggle! I wish you loved yourself as much as we love you!
Keep up the great work,they are beautiful, wish I could do that great painting.Im just started painting. Thanks for all your help.Love it
These are the best instructions for drawing this pattern. Thank you. I am no longer feeling afraid to try this. 😊
I sold one of my first rock paintings...ever! I sold a mermaid tale.....! What a blast....! Thank you, so much for your wonderful videos. I have watched and enjoyed them all and greatly appreciate all that you do! Thank you!!
Thank you for devoting so much time of your life to this art. It is so therapeutic for me, I Love to Listen to music while I paint. I love your laugh and the unique creativity you have been blessed with. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us😊
Let our love for you cancel out the hate. It completely outweighs anything they could say. Trolls are everywhere and they have no positive value to bring.
You have inspired me beyond any way you could ever begin to know. I used to love to paint and haven’t for years. You gave me a foot up in starting again. I want to thank you for bringing that out in me again.
You are very loved! ❤️
I have a rock family! I love just to watch you but love to paint. When my son passed I started to paint rocks and found your channel. Now I REALLY paint rocks. I love to hear you laugh. I always want to laugh with you!
I love your tutorials. I’m 63 yrs old & I’ve been collecting rocks for a few yrs now and now I can use some of your ideas for painting on them because it’s hard for me to come up with ideas of what to paint on my own. I haven’t tried this one yet but I’ve painted some owls using your tutorial. Of course they don’t look exactly like yours or exactly like each other but I’m very happy with them!. I’m going to try this one next! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent & your laughter too! It’s beyond me why people feel the need to make nasty comments when nothing is personally addressed to them. If they don’t like something they should feel free to move on!
I absolutely luv you Rachel! I hope the negative comments don't keep you from me. I need you! You have inspired and helped me in so many ways i can't list them all. Please please please keep doing what you do and don't let crabby ppl get you down.💜💜💜
Rachel you have over 41000 people who think you are awesome. Your art is amazing and beautiful just like you. I love that you have given me the confidence to follow a tutorial of yours and know that it will be beautiful when I'm done. Listen to your over 41000 followers not the 1 or 2 jealous haters. 🎨
We love you too, you are awesome person, painter, and teacher. ❣️
You are an amazingly artistic soul. Your laugh and voice is very soothing. I watch you paint at night because it calms my anxiety. You and Bob Ross have a very calming demeanor. Thank you for all your art.
We are ALWAYS here for you. Just remember misery loves company. The thumbs down are people who are jealous, miserable and hate their lives. Take them in your mind, open your door and fling them out with the trash. Keep smiling and painting, because WE appreciate you. You have inspired me to paint and push my limits. I find it very relaxing. Kisses and well wishes from Toronto 😘❤
I think your laugh is great! Reminds me of my best friend! Your painting is amazing and ideas too, haters will always hate! Be you , don't worry about the " Negative Nellys" , painting is therapeutic for me as well and you have great ideas!❤🎉😊😊😊😊
Hey Rachel, it has really shocked me that you could get any negative comments. I've been watching and listening to your absolutely amazing tutorials since lockdown last year. Beautiful art , voice and soul. It's inspired me so much. Thank you. With love from Mel, bury st Edmunds UK. 😘
You have always helped me with color choices which is something I have always struggled with. You have also helped me to remember that my work doesn't have to look like your work.
I just love watching the way you paint your rocks I am new to painting rocks and your tutorials have shown me so much My partner has dementia/Alzheimer's and will sit with me just fascinated and your laugh just makes them smile So please continue to do what you do and ignore the haters - they are just jealous Rock on!!
Dear Rachel, you are a wonderful person with a beautiful soul. All your rock painting followers, we love you deeply❤ Please ignore all types of bad comments n ugly-mind people; as you are spreading your creativity wings like some magnificent butterfly so it's obvious that a group of people r jealous of you.
We love you & every single thing you do, we admire and appreciate your efforts💓🤗 Keep it up. All my blessings are with you n your family. Stay safe, stay healthy. Love you 😚💓
A FEW YEARS to feel comfortable in making a video on this! A FEW YEARS shows def commitment to self learning which is rare on any level. Be it painting rocks, playing a chord on an instrument, perfecting that recipe to your liking even if your a terrible cook, or anything that others might view as not worthwhile, worthy of xtra thought because it’s just not their thing or whatever. But I understand what your saying.
Just watching your videos is super therapeutic. Specially during theses weird times right now. Just to let you know, I’m mesmerized by your videos and your art work and I haven’t done anything all day long except watch you paint 🥰 I’m your new fan
Gorgeous! Thank you for all your videos! Take all the time you need while moving...yes! It is stressful! We can watch any one of your over 90 videos while we wait for you to get settled! We love ya girl!!!!
I’m so glad I found your channel. Thankyou for just being who you are.
I feel for you. In 2016 we moved out of the big city, Denver to a small town on the eastern plains. Best move ever!! But it was about 2 hours one way and we had lived at Denver house for 11 years. So it was sad, happy, stressful and mind boggling. You can do it!! I believe in you!! You are awesome!! ❤
I am not much of a rock painter but I love your videos. I use your designs in my journals and ATC cards. Stay positive!
Your laugh is perfect and infectious! This design is perfect and inspirational! Keep on rockin'!
I suffer from depression and osteoporosis. I'm always in pain. Sense I started painting with you it made such a difference in my life. It help to focus on something rather than me. I also learned sooo much from you and now I'm trying different ways others paint and combining them with your. I'm in such a different world when I paint. Thank you Rachel.
Just beautiful and did I mention just beautiful? Just beautiful as beautiful as all your rocks!
How it makes me feel? Excited, proud and wanting to show it off. You may find it hard to believe but when I finish something, you are the one that I wish I could show it to. I’m sure feel the same but you make me feel your family but living far away. Thank you for being you.
I've never been a fan of purple but, wow that pops!!! Love that rock, its beautiful!
Rachel, I recent!y !earned dotting, mandala & rock painting & I love it so much. I didn't think I could do any of it, as my hands are no longer steady, but after dotting my first rock, it felt wonderful just to be able to complete it! I wish there was more time in the dat, as I usually wait until all my other chores are done before starting my next project. I saw The Seed of Life done on YT for the first time & tried to start one, but had a hard time with the circles, so that rock sits uncompleted. Your instructions & kind words of encouragement have given me new confidence to finish that rock, so thank you for all your help & your rocks are all beautiful!! MSM is chalk full of criticism & so called know-it-alls, so I wouldn't blame you for giving it back. Who needs them!
I absolutely love your laugh and your beautiful voice.... it keeps me coming back to see more.... I'm inspired to try painting rocks with my grandson... he loves you too.... keep being the best you.
I am so grateful for your videos... I have learned so much! I’ve only been doing this for a short while, but painting rocks has been wonderfully therapeutic! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!
Your videos are inspirational 👏
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your laugh and your voice is joy to my ears.
Sticks and stones sister!
And your artwork is beautiful!
Its things like turning the rock and not the compass that make me go aha! Every video there's something helpful. Thanks so much for sharing so many helpful tips. That and of course all the gorgeous stuff!
I’m enjoying so many videos.. many of them are 4,5,6 years who. Ty for all these beautiful inspirational videoa
I adore you and love your artistic flare ...your videos relax me and your laugh makes me smile...don't listen to people who try to bring you down because they are not worth it. You are awesome and bring happiness to many ! 😘
Hi Rachel! New to your channel but not new to rock painting or art in general. Haters and bullies are everywhere! As an artist it is genuinely difficult to let go when the critics are at us non-stop. I have to remember that the people who benefit from my artwork are touched forever by a piece of my mind, heart and soul. Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing some of your soul with us! 💜
You are such a soulful artist.everytime i see ur video i feel alive.stay blessed
Thank you for the beauty you are putting into the world xx
You are my Rock OB1❣️❣️💖🙏🏻your in my prayers!, I got my molds and waiting for my cement stuff to make my rocks, your seeds of life seed is going to grow 💖❣️❣️💖💐 thank you so-much for sharing your spectacular craft😊😘✨✨💖
Pay no attention to snarky remarks. Don't give them power. You are an inspiration to many
Thank you🥰
You do such beautiful work. And you only hob in life is to take care of yourself and your family. Nobody else matters especially the bullies who are unhappy with themselves
What a lovely design. I really don't get snarky people!!! I also don't understand why anyone would be negative toward you!!! I know it's easier said than done, but please realize that those people are unhappy and seem to need to put others down to make themselves feel better about themselves. Please don't take them in. They don't deserve you!!! Remember you are loved by many! 💕😘💖
This is my new favorite. I say that after each video. YOUR ROCKS ARE GORGEOUS.!!
You are a beautiful soul. An amazing Artist. With a Heart of Gold. Know that you are Loved & appreciated. Ignore the negativity & keep Shining Bright Queen…👸🏻💜💚🍄
Thank you so much ❤️
Rachel I not do rock painting and not thinking to do it for now... and still I watch each video and my favorite part of them are YOU. Your voice and positive atitude always trying to laugh making jokes or funny coments. I love also the so colourful and beautiful results of your work. So rock painting is doing nothing for my life right now... but Rachel do it !!! You make me smile and enjoy each video. Keep going and keep smiling. Not all will love you but still they make the effort to critic you and spend time making a coment about your work. You make ppl talk about your work, goods and bads... That's amazing girl! Big kiss and sorry for my english I am born spanish
Rachel, I appreciate your videos. You are making rock painting accessible and I am slowly working up the courage to try this particular art style.
Please do not pay attention to folks that feel it is ok to bully others. They feel anonymous and that sometimes leads to "snarky" and childish behavior.
I particularly love this design and plan to paint one in blues... Beautiful!
You have inspired me tremendously! I have zero paintbrush experience but my finger sponges have arrived, my brushes are snipped and curled and I have thick black paper to practice on. I am so excited to combine my dotting with all your great ideas! I bought your firefly stone because I simply had to have one of your pieces. You are an art celebrity and I am a just a huge cheesy fan! I won’t be trying this one for a bit, but you have so many other simple ones it will be hard to choose where to start. Maybe the hot air balloon.🎈
Thanks so much for making them all.🙏🏻❤️
I love to just hold one for the energy! You have helped me with the beauty of my rocks. You are amazing. Thank you.
I love the control you have over your fine brush - I am still working on that and often end up with loose ends! Will keep working on it - you are such a great example for us all!!!
Rachel, your rocks are wonderful, your personality is bubbly and upbeat, and you are a very special person to share with us how you make your creations. I've learned so much from you, and every time I get an email that you've posted another tutorial, it literally makes my day. This is a saying I tell myself when people aren't as kind as they could be: "Don't stress. Do your best. Forget the rest." Maybe you could make a tutorial from the saying :-)
Beautiful design. Dotting is such a great stress reliever.
Thank you so much for your sharing and caring. This is awesome. I don’t usually like exact painting ( Gabe myself permission not to be perfect)but this is very exciting.
And , yep, we can’t absorb the negativity of toxic people. My sister always criticizes and puts down my work, but when I did an octopus on a stone ( who knew rock painting could be so fun) she wanted 5 or 10 theme scenes. Asked me what I used for paint. I told her paint from $ store as it is more fluid. Proceeded to say I got to have the fun doing the painting with my $ store paints, while she was paying me. (I was charging her peanuts.) I am amazed how her nasty comments minimize all our research, investment, time, and all our art supplies. But we know we are having fun, therapy, friends, etc. thank you. You are awesome.
I love watching your videos. I have learned soooo much from you. I don't understand why people criticize you. There is no reason to leave mean comments what so ever. You don't charge for your tutorials so what do they have to lose??? Like you say, you don't have to be perfect.
Dear Ms Rachel, your gorgeous creations have and continue to inspire me. I especially love how it up-levels my Mindfulness practice of focus and Presence. Your genuine intention to share and teach through your tutorials are very much appreciated and you are among my top favourites. I too love Purple and adore your fine Gold work.
🌾Fall Blessings sweet Spirit 🙏🏾
I agree with Alaina. Your spirit and personality shine through in your laugh and wonderful voice, Rachel. Keep up the good work!
I've had the narky confrontations, too. Mostly in person. Which is easy because I can deal with it straight away. I've lost my mojo time and again. Rachel ❤ sweetheart, all I have to do is go to your channel, and you can reel (real) me back in. Sending love from Australia Feb 2024❤
We love you! You’re so talented love and light
You have helped me tremendously. You got me back into crafting. I had been blocked creatively for over a year...since the death of my dad last year. Following your tutorials for rocks got me into painting tiles as well. And I have slowly been working on a memorial tile for my dad. While I watched tutorials by others, yours were the ones that actually got me past my block and into painting again. Thank you so much!!
This is so awesome to hear 🥰 I'm sorry for the loss of your dad.im happy you have been creatively inspired 🥰 this makes my heart smile so big🥰🥰
Don't listen to anyone making hurtful comments. Your stone and what you do are amazing. Don't let anyone take you joy from you. Love this one and will have to try it. I have been dottng rock for 1yeah now. I have anxiety and panic attacks. Painting or dotting or even just watching your videos has helped me get through those rough days. You are amazing and lovely. Keep them coming. Much love
Hello from New Zealand! 🇳🇿🙂 Yay! I have been hoping for your tutorial for this style for ages - I love it and yours always look so beautiful - thank you so much! 🙏 Can't wait to try it. Your tutorials have got me painting things I never thought I had the ability to do - I enjoy it so much and other people love them. You're a fantastic teacher and I love your tutorials - I've watched every one at least once! Thank you for what you do. 💓
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!! I was so hoping you would make a tutorial on how you make these, they are so gorgeous!!! I love the colors you chose too, it's so cool!!!! You have taught me so much and I always look forward to each and every new tutorial you make!! Painting rocks is so relaxing and it's so fun to create beautiful things that others enjoy!! I've even sold a few thanks to your tutorials!!! So thank you for that!!! Now if only I could quit my day job and just paint all day, now that would be awesome!!! Thank you so much for all you do for all of us, you bring so much joy and I am very grateful for that!!!
Yeah, Rachel, you are back!! Thank goodness! I've been watching & waiting for a new video-you're the Best in my honest opinion. Your voice is very soothing and I could listen to you for hours. Please just continue as is and just be Yourself because your great at what you do. (You wouldn't have over 41K subscribers if you weren't)!
Thank you 🥰
You are a lovely person. Take your time with everything. It all works out. Your artwork is SO inspiring. This is advanced for me. But one day!
Your rock is beautiful, and I always love what you do for us. Thank you so much....
Ty Rachel! I’ve wanted this tutorial! I’ll give it my best shot lol! You always explain what you do so well, and make it look easy! All the best with your move!😊😊😊
This is so pretty! Love the purple, too! (We need to get you to wear your favorite color in your wardrobe - it’ll make for a happier you)! Just gorgeousness! ♥️🌺🎉
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for a great tutorial, Rachel. I finished my seed of life tonight, except for the resin, which I’ll do next weekend. It is my first “official” project. Everything else has been practice on cardstock, and I am so pleased with it!
Keep on ,Keep on painting.Beautiful.
Rachel I heard you say stuff about the negative and mean people out there. I am so glad you haven’t let them affect your channel. I love you tutorials, I love your laugh, how can anyone not. Your work amazes me and of course your steady hand. Wish I could be so steady. I have completed a few rocks not that you have done though. I’d like to maybe show you on one of your pages. You say practice, practice, practice and that is what I am trying to do. My wish is to be able to get a few Santorini stones and also some of the molds. Then I’ll be set. Just need to save a little. Thank You so much for all your wonderful tutorials. You really brighten my days when I watch you. Hugs. 😘
I have just started with rock painting and appreciate your tutorials. I have really enjoying all of the different styles you paint and the tips you offer. Thank You!
Don't let the haters get you down. They're just jealous because they don't have your talent. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for this!!! Thank you for your time, you are so lovely, I am so proud to be part of your rock family and love you back! Stay strong!! 🙏💙🤗💙
Hello Rachael, wow... wow... wow! I have just discovered you. Your work is beautiful. I can’t stop watching you. I’ve ordered my supplies and can’t wait for them to arrive. In the meantime I’m collecting large stones from my garden (in the UK) and putting them in the dishwasher 😂. If I’m any good these will be my Christmas gifts this year. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. ❤️ Namaste 🙏🏽
Your rocks so beautiful ignore mean spirited people with no life. You offering blessings and your time and skill. A lot people don't share. I love utube teaching. And love your laugh that's what makes us individual one of kind mold broken. Be blessed and press on. Jesus gave you the ability we borrow from his creativity!!
Hi. I am a UK fan of your....A new recruit to rock painting and your videos are very inspiring and beautiful. If I get half as good as you, I would be thrilled. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
Just beautiful Rachel ...thanks so much for sharing💕
Rachel can l buy this from you ...it seems to speak to me ..must be the colours of purples 😁
This so beautiful! I always say purple is not my favorite but yellow is! I’m beginning to like purples more! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the tutorials you do for this, you’re amazing! I’m so happy to have found you! You ROCK!!! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing your creativity with us ❤️
That is so pretty! I have only done simple painted rocks. I do however paint canvases. I’m ready to learn and watching your tutorials has me very interested. Thanks for sharing your teachings. 💖
I always look forward to your videos, even if it’s something I wouldn’t be interested in trying. Your voice is soothing and I absolutely LOVE your laugh. Thank you for what you put out in the world. Its a nice breath of fresh air to hear positivity and see some magical art transform in front of your eyes. Keep your head up with the move and take it one day at a time. 💜
Thank you so much 🥰
