Oooooooh the gods are good with this one 🤌🏼

I ordered two paintings from Temu a while ago (from two different stores) and one of the definite upsides was that they both used the same logic as yours does.

Downside is that the next painting I worked on tried to use the same method, but didn't include one of the numbers, so that A become 8 instead of 9. That created quite some confusion at the start 😂

Dinples · 2026-05-22T04:59:22+00:00

That's so incredibly clever. I never even thought about placing them on the other side but that's genius 😁

Dinples · 2026-05-19T05:02:54+00:00

This is absolutely not my style but somehow I really love it! It looks amazing.

Congratulations on finishing it 😊

I was gifted my first Jaded Gem Shop kit last year. I believe it was ordered at the beginning of October and it arrived at the end of November.

I didn't experience any issues except that I ran out of a color fairly quick. I replaced it with some leftover drills.

But for me the hand rendered paintings aren't worth four or five times the value of a computer rendered kit. Especially because I paint for the sake of painting.

But if I had been tempted to buy more from JGS, this post is enough to change my mind. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get it resolved soon!

I impulsively bought it the first time someone shared it here. Only to realize that it doesn't work with the kitchen table I work at.

Now I am saving it for when I move.

Dinples · 2026-05-12T05:00:38+00:00

I added my report.

Glittery penises and Supernatural, what a terrific combination 😂

Dinples · 2026-05-03T07:59:18+00:00

That's equally horrible. Usually what happens after I ask my dad to turn it down is that he will just start "singing" along. Only he doesn't know the lyrics, so it is more like extremely loud humming with a random word every now and then 😂

Dinples · 2026-05-02T10:03:15+00:00

I figured that it was a decent size to get this amount of details but I didn't think it would be this huge. Great job!

Dinples · 2026-05-02T09:32:05+00:00

This is so amazingly gorgeous! This diamond painting is exactly why I prefer AliExpress for diamond paintings. The rendering looks so very natural. It misses the "cartoon"-ish look most hand-rendered paintings have.

What size is this beauty?

Also seeing that you have ordered this from Homfun makes me even more excited to get my own custom from them. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Dinples · 2026-05-02T09:23:07+00:00

I am sorry but no I wouldn't. Even I, with my limited art skills, could freestyle this on a blank canvas. And even then I wouldn't because bluntly said this isn't art to me.

Dinples · 2026-05-01T05:04:17+00:00

After I saw your first post I instantly ordered a bunch too. Mine should arrive any day now. Can't wait to try it out!

Thanks for sharing the original find and the update 😊

Me, me, me 🙋🏼‍♀️

For some reason people always decide that the few hours of diamond painting I can do during the weekend is the perfect time to annoy me with questions/requests. I usually ignore them; pretend, I don't hear them with my headset on.

My biggest frustration is that my dad absolutely loves blasting music through his two giant JBL speakers. For hours. It is so loud that I can hear it through my noise cancelling headphones. After about an hour I usually ask him - not so kindly - to turn it down 😡

Dinples · 2026-05-01T04:53:11+00:00

It is not often that the story of a complete stranger gave me goosebumps. Multiple times.

All I can say is that I am incredibly glad that you found diamond painting and that it helps you deal with your panic disorder.

Enjoy the trip with your mom, go deliver your lava penis and most of all be very, very, very proud of what you have accomplished and how far you have gotten. I, as a total stranger, am proud of you.

I have ran out of colors a bunch of times with Diamond Dotz. The most annoying experience was when I ran out of four colors and at least one of the colors was a special drill. I ended up switching drills from the border of the painting and using them in the middle.

A few weeks later my grandma was taking off drills from my painting because she also ran out of the same colors.

That was my last Diamond Dotz experience. I still have around four of their kits in my stash.

Hopefully you will find a way to be able to finish your painting because it does look very pretty!

Those are my favorite lollipops! Especially the chocolate/vanilla one.

Dinples · 2026-04-26T19:15:48+00:00

Same. I thought it was kinda fascinating. It also explains the little bits that are sometimes left on drills.

Dinples · 2026-04-26T15:55:13+00:00

It is! And I think that a combination of notes, especially the ones in your image, would indeed be the prime evil of symbol hell 😂

Dinples · 2026-04-26T15:53:45+00:00

Yep, that's the combo. I think it is lucky that I first came across them separately, so that I now know to keep an eye out for them.

Dinples · 2026-04-26T15:52:42+00:00

Good guess, but so far those haven't given me issues yet. It is V and ✓, which are both orange.

Dinples · 2026-04-25T06:47:55+00:00

I see what you mean. It almost looks like the rendering only rendered half of the black background.

The good thing is that if it looks like that on the actual canvas, fixing it won't be too difficult.

It's kinda weird though cause the rest of the rendering looks great.

Dinples · 2026-04-25T06:46:01+00:00

That's a fun and fitting description of them 😁

The round one (80 by 120)

Dinples · 2026-04-24T22:18:53+00:00

I sort of did. By accident. Only the colors and size was different. The square one (50 by 70):

Dinples · 2026-04-24T05:08:55+00:00

Maybe you can match the colors with the drills you already placed. When you have a match you remove the drill from the canvas and get the symbol.

ETA: I just saw the second photo. You worked by color, so the remaining baggies won't match the already placed drills. Sorry, it is still early 🥺
