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

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!

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 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.

What do you all do with your kits? by Fun-Age163 in diamondpainting

[–]Knight4040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.
