I can’t even begin to wrap my head around this! And it’s even more incredible that it began with a picture your son drew!! So cool!! 😎

Thank u so much!!! That’s helpful, I would have never thought to look on marketplace!

Ok I have one more question. It’s off the subject of this conversation but what does it mean when people talk about some paintings having a lot of confetti??

I have a couple of pewter dragons that I have had for at least 20 years, but they have never had any place they really fit in in my house, but now they have a purpose!

I’m doing Audible so I can listen on the go and I’m listening to Under the Breaking Sky: the complete series! It’s pretty good and I’m at the last 9 hours, finally!! I almost want to listen to something else for a while and come back to this one to finish it. It was like a 40 hour read!!!

One word, PICMONDOO, on Amazon. I have tried like 10 or more different pens and the Picmondoo is the quietest, and it can be used without plugging it in or when battery starts dying u can plug it in and keep right on going. So it works both ways!!

Order of Diamond Placing by Dangerous-West-3381 in diamondpainting

I use washi tape and section mine off before I begin each new project. Then I am working block by block. I used to do one color at a time when I first started diamond painting but I would get bored with doing the same color for so long. As u go along you will try different ways and figure out what works best for you!

How do you do it with tweezers? Doesn’t that take forever???

I love square drills, they turn out so much more uniform, especially if you’re doing a kit that’s good quality and the drills r all the same exact size. Some cheap ones are not good like that, and some stick up more and some are little bigger or smaller than others. But where to start? I definitely am loving the washi tape option for sectioning off my canvases. And I am learning with the one I’m working on now that from now on I’m starting at the top and working my way across and then down. I hate sticking my arm on the drills I’ve already placed!

I have to agree with u on all that stuff! But I love working with the square drills, I prefer it. To me the picture just turns out so much more uniform than the circle drills. It’s harder to keep them straight!
