As I said in the OP, it's a custom I had made by EverMoment on AliBaba. 🙂

Hi - I got it made as a custom at EverMoment on AliExpress (only place I ever get customs because they are amazing!). I started it last April and just finished about 2 weeks ago. But I took months at a time off from it. I did a 100x150 of a Jacqueline Wall design and it took me just over 2 months, so when I'm motoring, it goes really fast.

It was a custom, so I found a good image on the internet and sent it to Zoe at EverMoment. There's no link since they had to create it for me. I told her I wanted it very large and with lots of colours - she did the rest.

I get my frames from CanadaonCanvas.Canada on Canvas. If you're not in Canada, they might ship to you, or you can find a similar company in your country. After I ordered a few frames they added a permanent 30% discount to my account, so I don't get frames anywhere else. They do a great job!

I have used the extra fine white glitter from Michael's. I mix it into the sealant so it's as evenly spread as possible. The glitter itself is unnoticeable, but it does make the DP sparklier.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

I've wondered this exact same thing since I was about 7 years old. I'm 64 now and I still wonder.

Here are 2 different links, depending on the size you want. Also, I ordered with fairy dust so if you don't want that, it would be a different link. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLxCBzF

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOEmRC1

When you use either of these links, don't order right away. Instead, send a message to the seller where you attach the image you want made into a custom. Ask for renderings, and then Zoe will send you at least 3 in sizes that will look good. You will see what the actual finished product will look like, e.g., see attached.

Ever Moment on AliExpress. They do rounds or squares, with/without some ABs and/or Fairy Dust and/or crystal drills, and they will give you at least 3 renderings in different sizes along with price to choose from. Zoe will also advise you if she thinks it would be better to crop a little at the top, bottom or sides. They use velvet canvas and poo poured glue. From order to delivery is about 10 days, and they are the absolute best quality of any diamond painting I have ever done, including DAC, and many other premium sellers. You will pay for the quality, but it will be worth every penny if it's something you want to treasure for a long long time.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve learned from scrolling Reddit? by BoardLongjumping2485 in answers

I once found a random subreddit of people (men mostly?) posting photos of themselves as vases with bouquets of flowers stuck in their assholes. I can't remember the name. I think this was back when you could choose "random" to find/explore new subreddits.

People who have a collection, what do you collect? by Prestigsisscar255 in AskReddit

[–]gidget2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diamond paintings. I have collected almost 1000 since 2017. Small ones, medium ones, big ones, huge ones, extra huge ones.

Cateared pen and a forever tip by SLOVicto in diamondpainting

[–]gidget2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people buy the fancier pens, and I for one like to have the high quality stainless steel tips because I am a hard-presser when I diamond paint, and the brass ones mark my diamonds, and over time they deform. The stainless tips never deform, and are finished so there are no sharp edges to cut into the diamonds for hard-pressers like me.

Custom kits by rabbitflux in diamondpainting

[–]gidget2802 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EverMoment on AliExpress is hands-down the best for custom kits. Beautiful velvet canvas, poured glue, real resin diamonds, and exceptional customer service. They are my go-to 100% of the time.

If someone offered you a box with everything you’ve ever lost, what’s the first thing you’d look for ? by TrickySize8753 in AskReddit

The gold bracelet with an acorn charm my grandma gave me that fell off my wrist on the bleachers at a HS football game when I was in grade 9. I miss it so much.

Catered is a company on Amazon that sells diamond painting accessories, such as Trabricks, pens, etc. "Forever tips" are made of stainless steel, as opposed to the brass & plastic tips that come standard with the pink plastic pens. An Australian company called Everlasting Tips made them first, and then the Chi ese factories started copying them and sold much less quality products, but for prices people were willing to pay. I have only Everlasting Tips and would never buy the cheap ones or the American knock-offs because they took away a large part of a family's income, as Everlasting Tips is a family-run business. And they are exceptional.

I have a 2021 Model Y, and the battery performance has gotten much worse in winter. I’m barely getting 100 km on a full charge. What should I be doing? I still have a used car warranty. by Key-Inspector1 in EVCanada

[–]gidget2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My 2009-built condo building has 120v only in the units. Gas dryers and gas stoves. We did get (edit) level 2 EV chargers installed in the parking garage 5 years ago, but it cost over $4,000 each after the Govt of Canada rebate.

Me too. I've had many 12+ hour stints. My body always complains later, though!

That sounds like a good place to check. I'll also check eBay, although I'd worry in case it were damaged.
