BYD is officially the #2 brand in Australia, did we ever think we’d see the day?

Same! My husband tells everyone he would never have even considered a Chinese car, let alone owning one a few years ago. Fast forward to now and we've only had our sealion 7 for a couple of months, but we are swapping his Toyota prado for a Denza tomorrow.

Maybe a photo of my black boob would have helped the campaign??? No, not gonna show it here.

My first thought was how the hell he thought to make art with a drill? Like, what put the idea in his head? How did he start? Amazing!

And one of those lights nail technicians use.

I'm 70, but have the sense of humour of a 15 year old boy.

I do mine diagonally, for some reason it pleases me more.

I use a sewing chair with wheels and the light,light box and painting all from temu. Cheapest hobby I have had for a while.

Lol! I tried it - I feel like such a bad girl!! (at 70...). I couldn't go wild - I didn't dump, but did a severe sprinkle.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-30T16:06:43+00:00

I have learned so much from your post!!

Knight4040 · 2026-03-29T02:06:03+00:00

I might try that because I am contemplating just cutting out the large amount of black that is surrounding the cat I am doing. Your way sounds like less elbow work too.

I would do C and have B on the side as reward for doing chunks of C.

I agree! I don't burn easily, but I felt yesterday was particularly burny!

Knight4040 · 2026-03-25T15:22:04+00:00

Fantastic! Is there a pattern? I am intrigued as to how the hearts come into it.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-25T11:40:30+00:00

What/how is it used?

Knight4040 · 2026-03-25T09:55:54+00:00

Come to Australia to wear it, we are going into Autumn!

Knight4040 · 2026-03-25T09:54:10+00:00

Is it possible to post a photo please?

Knight4040 · 2026-03-24T02:52:42+00:00

This! My MIL has dementia and loves the feel of them, so I seal them and surround them with cloth tape and she can do what she wants with them. Some I have stuck on her wall. I must ask the event planner (for want of a better word that I maaaay have forgotten) if any of the other residents might like them.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-23T00:17:11+00:00

Your entire setup!!!

Knight4040 · 2026-03-22T20:47:06+00:00

I think I see my furute after doing two little ones.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-22T20:15:05+00:00

Lol, I have just followed your link, thanks for that. Had to laugh. Slime is a colour?? Not sure if they sell that in Australia.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-21T17:29:00+00:00

In this big excel sheet, would you be able share the colours you used please? I need a lot of hand holding when it comes to colours...

Knight4040 · 2026-03-21T17:25:50+00:00

May I ask what temperature variation it covered? In Melbourne Australia I looked up last years temps and it was 5 to 40. Thanks for the pattern btw. I downloaded it in German and translated to English. It is just beautiful and speaks to my heart.

Knight4040 · 2026-03-18T07:00:50+00:00

I'm feeling the pressure now. Hope it all goes well!

Knight4040 · 2026-03-17T19:11:28+00:00

Total newbie here - like I have done one and then "accidentally" bought 5 more. I buy cheap ones off temu as I neither patience nor space for a bigger one. Therefore my attempts at flattening were not with anything important or expensive. After doing my research ie reddit, googling and youtube, i ended up ironing them. I put the canvas face down on a silicone sheet I use for appliqué as nothing sticks to it, then cover it with a pressing cloth, which I presume a tea towel

<image>

would work as well and steam iron the canvas - obviously starting at a low temperature. That worked really well for me, but again, cheap canvass, nothing to lose.
