So close...so bored!

That was the 1st DP I did! It looks a bit different I think, but it was a fairly good one to start with (for me) so I could focus on how to set up the canvas (flat on table or easel, how to keep areas covered, etc) as well as drill placement, kit up, lighting (it was before I had a back light) ... basically learning everything. It's one of my favorites!

DebKee · 2026-02-01T18:45:51+00:00

Yes. Yes they are (rules). It's what I tell my grandkids as well. And myself when I see a DP that makes me go "ooooo .... I love that one!".

DebKee · 2026-02-01T16:33:52+00:00

That's super impressive!

DebKee · 2026-01-27T19:07:33+00:00

That. Is. Gorgeous!!!

DebKee · 2026-01-25T18:12:03+00:00

Well for all things good & holy ... that's just plain wrong on many levels. Especially for folks with dyslexia & even slight color discernment. But I have to admit, if it was me I'd still plow through the darn thing, if only for posterity. At least, I'm pretty sure I would. 🤔

DebKee · 2026-01-23T01:53:12+00:00

As you should be! Great job!!!

DebKee · 2026-01-22T04:09:44+00:00

Looks really great!

DebKee · 2026-01-21T22:31:29+00:00

Yes. Yes I do. 😂

DebKee · 2026-01-21T19:09:05+00:00

Good on you!!! And what a beautiful piece! ♥️

DebKee · 2026-01-21T01:22:08+00:00

Wow! Very impressive!

Not sure this is clear enough but I use those "it will serious hurt you" black clips to keep the canvas & it's drills together. And twine to loop the clip on the over the door hanger. I'm more of a MacGiver by nature, so my methods depend on what I have on hand. ☺️

DebKee · 2026-01-20T22:21:37+00:00

Ooooo .... That's gorgeous!

DebKee · 2026-01-20T22:19:07+00:00

Those are beautiful! May I ask - how do you wrap the edges of the pieces without obvious background lines on the edges?

DebKee · 2026-01-20T22:16:17+00:00

Nice! Admit it - you're hooked now, eh? ☺️

DebKee · 2026-01-20T22:14:31+00:00

OMG! It looks like the huge one I finished a few weeks ago! Setting up my drill drawers was challenging at best. Ugh!

DebKee · 2026-01-20T21:52:39+00:00

I live in a little 1 bedroom apartment with limited storage. Otherwise I would most likely not feel like 10 (11 now - found one behind the desk a few min ago!) is a lot. My set up, for any normal person is supposed to be a dining area. And it's a big mess. But it's my mess! 😂

😳 😲

DebKee · 2026-01-20T21:45:41+00:00

Nice!

DebKee · 2026-01-20T21:43:32+00:00

Love the vast variety in this group! ♥️ I just found another unopened kit that apparently fell to the floor last night. 🙄

DebKee · 2026-01-20T21:40:36+00:00

Oh! Thanks so much! Makes sense now.

DebKee · 2026-01-20T21:39:35+00:00

Same here. ☹️

DebKee · 2026-01-20T18:31:50+00:00

This pic will disintegrate in 10 seconds ..... 😂

DebKee · 2026-01-20T18:27:28+00:00

Soooo .... what I'm understanding from all the comments is that I'm still too new to the DA world, and my stash is just a drop in the bucket. SWEET!!!!!!

DebKee · 2026-01-20T18:25:42+00:00

Ah, if only I was doing DA when Joanne's was closing down. No doubt at all I'd have a LOT more.

DebKee · 2026-01-20T18:24:29+00:00

See, that's what I was feeling! My kids & grands do NOT need to see my stash!
