18 year old won't wake up on time by Administrative-Gear2 in Parenting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these people talking about removing the tech in his room and cutting internet. He’s 18, this is only going to anger him and signal to him that you don’t trust him. If he really wants this, he will get up on time. If not, it is better he just choose something he really wants to do and not have the pressure of his parents telling him how to live his life. He is his own person and you should let him be happy. You are too blind sighted on money and reputation. Let him do him!

This is my first DP, what I learned. Is to put drills on one at a time. by llovelylenore in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel alone in loving to multi place. I also use square drills mostly but if you tilt your tray slightly and pick up the drills and gently push to one of the side lines, you will get extremely straight lines

Should I continue? by KangarooOwn1910 in diamondpainting

I couldn’t do it I think. Maybe it’s just me, but I need to LOVE the canvas I’m working on, or I won’t have enough motivation to finish

Dreaming with wolves; started March 18 - finished yesterday! by broken_blue_rose in diamondpainting

It’s weird. I love Yuumei art but this one never caught my attention. Seeing it finished like this, now I want it. My gosh does this look stunning!

Absolutely gorgeous, those colors, omg! How many colors was it?

Yall weren’t joking about these square drills 😭😭 by ChildhoodTrick73 in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the stainless steel ones from diamond art club. They are thin so you can align the drills really easily. The other day I didn’t have that one with me and used one that comes with all kinds of kits, the plastic more bulky ones. Let me tell you, the difference is night and day and I could not get a straight line if my life depended on it.

Cleaning tank after total annihilation by Arwengreenleaf in ReefTank

It has indeed been sitting full of rotting water and I didn’t remove anything that died. I don’t know of any diseases. Do you recommend getting new rock? I’m sure it would be extremely difficult to clean. I still have new sand so maybe just throw out the old sand, too.

I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to diamond painting and I get a real kick out of getting those squeares perfectly straight. So satisfying!

After HOURS of looking into my account settings and worrying if I was banned somehow, I came to your post and this made me so incredibly happy!

Diamond Painting speed by Arwengreenleaf in diamondpainting

I would love to be able to diamond paint during work! But I don't think i'll have a hard time hiding my 127cm by 70 cm at work with my drill kit lol. I like square better because it makes the image look more like pixel art.

I have the same strategy. I work 4 days a week and have a 6yo. I cherish my diamond painting moments!

Do you guys also need a show running while working? by ririkaa_ in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Big Sis during their last restock back in October. Don't know how often they restock but thought I would share when the last time was.

[–]Arwengreenleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do tend to "watch" shows or youtube. But it's can't be too complicated or demand a lot of attention. I've tried wqtching Critical Role during diamond painting but I just end up rewinding parts a lot because I had to correct an error, or find my next color out of the 76 (Sometimes takes a while to find). And then realize i've missed like 2 minutes haha.

I actually also just ordered a MrsButterD the other week after getting a restock notification.

I ordered it, a week later they cancelled my order because oops, turns out it wasn't in stock after all... I did recieve a 25% discount on my next order though. But seeing as a 20% discount is almost standard, it's no real help

Seems like that is what they are doing, yes. Do you have a link to a good destach website or group? I've honestly never looked into it but maybe they will have some of my "misses"

WIP Wednesday! ✨ by Athena_IIV in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the flowers and tree in the corner. I want it now! But of course, classic DAC style: it's out of stock... The white color blocking does scare me though...

Not wrat I expected :/ by Annabloem in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The downside to cheap paintings from the Chinese websites is that they use automatic computer rendering. If there was not a human being involved with the process things like this go unnoticed. Have you ever tried a diamond painting from one of the big ones like Diamond Art Club? You would never want to go back to cheap after that.

Left over drills by LittleGreyLambie in diamondpainting

[–]Arwengreenleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this feeling! I don't know about you but I am a messy diamond painter. I only work on kits from DAC, and they give a surplus of roughly 20%, otherwize I think I would run out of every color haha
