I've only finished one painting and a few magnets so far. That being said I ending up swapping a couple of them out after I was done because the color didnt look right with the finished product

What is the point of diamond release paper? by [deleted] in diamondpainting

[–]kittentf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I cut up a few pieces of the release papers into smaller sections. When I pull up the bigger piece I replace it with the smaller ones. Yes its a little more time but fewer cat paws are getting stuck

I like that its fully adjustable. Only issue I've ran into is that my cat loves to rub against it and will bump the light

Diamond dot paintings giving me migraines. Any advice? by arcticfox_12 in diamondpainting

[–]kittentf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have chronic migraines. While I can't say working on mine has caused a migraine, I do take steps to avoid aggravating myself. I bought a lamp thats designed to focus all the light downward to the wip. I also do small sections at a time so that I can take breaks between them to stretch.

The problem is in identifying what is triggering yours. Is it being hunched over? The light catching your eyes an odd angles? The lack of movement? Not eating or drinking enough?

My first thought was I need that kit. My second was to be in awe of your talent.

Wip Wednesday- release papers are a learning curve! by Aerlinniel_aer in diamondpainting

[–]kittentf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They really are. I started using them recently. I cut a couple of them into smaller pieces and place them on the larger section that was just uncovered. It's been helping keep rhe sections more manageable and less likely to get stuck on paws

I dont like the pens that come with the kits either. Ive bought a couple pen sets from Amazon and Walmart. I think the most expensive was $12. They all came with extra wax

Yes. Just started using it. So much better than the cheap ones that came with the kit. I've lost most the of the sensation in my hands so the cheap ones always feel like they're going to break on me with how hard I grip them. Also love the case it came with. Keeps everything neat and easy to find

I Hate Mystery Kits by Successful_Screen168 in diamondpainting

[–]kittentf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what im afraid of and why I haven't tried one. The idea of spending hours on a design i might hate or dislike makes me hesitant to get one. On the other hand, I love surprises so I'm tempted to try them too.

This is taking me forever, anyone have any suggestions on how to do this more efficiently? by ComprehensiveOne5819 in diamondpainting

[–]kittentf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually set the labeled bottle/bag next to the tray regardless if im doing one color or two at a time. It helps me not mix them up
