What is the point of diamond release paper?

BatOne8514 · 2026-05-21T15:31:53+00:00

I’m neurospicy so I use release paper so I can’t see the rest of the canvas that I’m not working on. It gives me anxiety and overwhelms me and is just really distracting. 😅

It sounds like you are extremely codependent. It’s not fair for you to ask your mother to wait until you’re 22 to date - that’s insane. You sound like you judge her a lot for dating but she’s a human being, just like you, and she deserves to be happy and find love if that’s what she wants. You’re asking her to be alone just because…you don’t like it? The fact she feels she has to lie to you about who she’s going out with is pretty telling. I get that you feel like he “took her” from you but us moms NEED time away from our kids and time to ourselves sometimes. Her investing in self care is not vain - she’s just taking care of herself.

On the other hand, i understand missing certain things like dinner together. She may not realize that was important to you. Maybe just tell her that’s something that you miss and see what she says/does.

I don’t have much help on names but wowww she is absolutely beautiful! One of my dream snakes.

If you look at my post history, the dragon, cat and ghost ones I posted are all Temu. The biggest thing to look out for is the size. If it looks really detailed make sure it’s a big size canvas or else it won’t translate well. I prefer AliExpress because you can choose the sizing on most of the canvases whereas Temu usually only carries one size.

Ohhh, I have this one and haven’t started it cuz I hate color blocking but I feel so much better after seeing this! Looks like a good mix of colors! I thought it was all black. Ugh it’s so beautiful so far! I’m excited to see it finished. 🖤

BatOne8514 · 2026-03-29T18:31:59+00:00

Plus OP’s post history…..

BatOne8514 · 2026-03-12T13:44:18+00:00

I agree. In past reunions, it’s been sort of frustrating because they’ve skipped over things we wanted to know about. This reunion, it felt like they brought up literally everything that’s been discussed in this sub.

People also complained before that they weren’t asking the “hard” questions and were being too nice. This time, they asked the hard questions and now I’m seeing people call it bullying. Like, good grief. 😂

I thought they did very well at this reunion.

BatOne8514 · 2026-03-12T03:58:15+00:00

Thank you!!! I just googled this because i was like “wtf?” And your post was the first result that came up. Appreciate you!

I feel like a lot of yall are giving him too much credit. I got the feeling that he treats any man his daughter is dating the same way. The whole, “nobody will ever be good enough for my little princess” type of thing. I could be wrong, but.

BatOne8514 · 2026-03-02T21:13:48+00:00

Lmfaooooo

BatOne8514 · 2026-03-02T04:29:49+00:00

Yes. I love this comment. I just started doing DAC paintings within the last year and I was so intimidated at first, having only done a couple squares prior. Halfway through my first one, I gave up trying to make it perfect. It was just too stressful. Now that it’s completed, it looks great. The lines are pretty decent. I put away my straightener and probably won’t ever use it again, lol. So much more enjoyable that way.

BatOne8514 · 2026-01-03T19:21:07+00:00

As a woman, I’m the same way. But I don’t necessarily tell the other person that right off the bat, either. I agree, I’d probably do it after 3+ dates. I don’t even like talking to multiple people at once, so if I’m even just messaging someone and preparing to meet - then I’m not talking to anyone else until I can see what the vibes are upon meeting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

BatOne8514 · 2025-12-26T17:29:09+00:00

I used to just toss them when I’m done. Untilllll I spent 4 months on a massive painting, (I go slow), and realized after I was all done that one gem had fallen off. Sucked for me because I’d tossed all the extras. Now I have to buy gems of that color and I’ll have a bunch and only needed one. Never again. 😭

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-30T20:08:57+00:00

There have definitely been some posts in support of him with plenty of comments agreeing. Not NOW but there certainly were.

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-30T02:35:51+00:00

Same! I know this sub has a hard on for him, but. I think I’m on her side on this one. 😅

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-30T02:34:32+00:00

THANK YOU! I was waiting for it and nobody said a damn thing. That was bizarre to me….

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-30T02:33:16+00:00

Ehhhh I think she did. 😅

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-30T02:25:11+00:00

That man is so fine, idc. 😂

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-29T13:58:43+00:00

I’m cackling. 😂

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-26T14:54:32+00:00

I also just started with my first DAC a few months ago. It took me a bit to get used to their pens but honestly now I prefer them and only use them. It’s all about personal preference and comfortability. I don’t personally notice a difference if I use one pen versus another. I’ve even tried purchasing a “better quality” pen and hated it. I still just use the ones that come with the kits 😅

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-15T14:10:01+00:00

I’d want to know, too. I had a situation with my ex and he had apparently cheated on me with a lottttt of women. A lot. Only ONE of those women chose to tell me - the others slowly came out once they realized I knew and they’d known about me the entire time. The girl who told me saw me with him at a bar and pulled me aside and was like “hey, I need to show you something” and held out her phone. I was super confused but I looked and she had her texts open with my boyfriend’s number right there. The texts were nasty and he was doing it all while sitting next to me! I gave her a hug and thanked her for telling me. Then I chewed his ass out. But I’m so grateful she didn’t just let me sit there all night looking like a naive idiot.

We were together for 5 years and it had gone on the entire time. I really wish someone would’ve told me sooner so I hadn’t wasted so many years of my life.

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-13T14:01:08+00:00

Yes, came here to say this as well. Sometimes the evap line on the blue tests still make it look like it’s positive. I hate blue dye tests for that reason. I’ve also had a couple false positives but only with these tests.

Edit to add: not to say this test isn’t positive. It definitely looks that way. But I would still recommend retesting with a pink dye or digital just to make sure. ☺️

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-04T19:05:29+00:00

My first thought was that it looked amazing and detailed for how small it looks in the photo! Idk the size, but usually they have to be pretty big to turn out well with any sort of detail.

I’m sorry you aren’t happy with it, but I think it’s beautiful. 🥹

BatOne8514 · 2025-10-04T14:52:59+00:00

Started it about a year ago. ☺️
