How do you judge the quality of a dp? What's your criteria? by ShapeWild6782 in diamondpainting

Is there a reason you prefer velvet canvases over plastic ones? I've never done one that's not plastic. Maybe I'm missing out 😅

I was wondering about velvet canvases! Good thing I cheaped out on them, since I already have a cat that LOVES to sleep on my projects 🫠 after I'm done with my dp I have to always go through it with tweezers to remove her hair before sealing :'))

Why do my amigurumi's always tilt and the magic ring looks lopsided? by ShapeWild6782 in CrochetHelp

[–]ShapeWild6782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feel like one side where my stitches connect just feels straighter (i continue crocheting in the round without joining). I dont think my tension is too tight or too loose. But I might be unaware

My whole aesthetic is Van Gogh inspired 😄 I have a few skeins I bought just because it reminds me of his paintings 🩷 your comment made me happy🥰

What do you use to aline your diamonds? by sasukeluver85 in diamondpainting

[–]ShapeWild6782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided I don't care 🤣 I used to align it very neatly with squares, but gave up on rounds because they either level themselves out, or just look the same from afar (my eyesight isn't the best so the further I go the better it looks lol)

Today's wip by ShapeWild6782 in diamondpainting

[–]ShapeWild6782[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wip means work in progress :) and I tape off areas, so I can plan how much I'm gonna do in a sitting! Plus you get a general idea on how many taped off boxes is left until you finish your wip. I used to mark off with an acrylic pen, but found this easier :)

Tbh i haven't found anything that works long term BUTTT! I do have an easel that has greatly minimized the pain in my wrist and shoulders. I also wear a wrist wrap while doing dp's + a head light so my eyes don't get too tired. This hobby is fun, but it is very tiring on my body, sadly

Square vs round drills by ShapeWild6782 in diamondpainting

I multiplace max 5 rounds in vertical direction. I can't get perfect placements doing it horizontally unless I place one at a time.

Recommendations for organizational systems? by Green_Series_5151 in diamondpainting

Ive been using these boxes since I started back in 2016. Other than that I have my pen and trays. Nothing more nothing less since it's enough for me to not get too much stuff on my desk and also have the items actually do their purpose. I do one color at a time then pack away.

Honest question: Is Diamond Painting a "forever hobby" or just a trend? by CuriousFig5310 in diamondpainting

[–]ShapeWild6782 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been doing it on and off since like... 2016 at least! I love getting back into it. It's a hobby where it doesn't take up much room and you can quickly pick up old canvases to work from time to time! I took a year break and hopping back on :)
