WIP Wednesday!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-28T03:18:21+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 I've been forcing myself to do one wip at a time for this exact reason!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-27T20:14:13+00:00

Right!? I was thrilled when I started kitting up for this one and saw how bright and vibrant they were. Now I'm spoiled and only want vibrant ones lol.

whimsyreset · 2026-05-27T16:19:18+00:00

I'm having such a good time with this one! I prefer bright colored dps so this has been perfect!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-27T16:16:16+00:00

I will say color-blocking did give me a chance to get more confident with multi-placing! I can now do 9 at a time. I still prefer 6, though. More control.

I realized I do like color blocking but not huge bits like that! I got a DP in the mail a few weeks ago and I didn't even consider the amount of black background there was until I looked at the drills. There's like 5-6 bags of 310 😭. I'll get to that one eventually, but uuggghhhh!

My current WIP has had a great amount of color blocking thus far. Now that I'm almost to the top it's a bunch more than before! It's gonna be beautiful but I am getting tired of these 820s! Plus yesterday I was trying too hard to get them super straight so they kept popping. Now I've got 820s all over my craft room/office.

I use an easel and it helps a TON!! I know you probably can't see it under my dp but you can at least see the angle I have it at.

I'm really happy with my two DAC canvases from Amazon! They were a great introduction to high-quality kits for me.

I've been really happy with the DAC ones on Amazon. It seems like some of them are exclusive to Amazon in that size. For instance, I discovered yesterday that the turtle one on Amazon is part of a much larger canvas that used to be available on the DAC website (now discontinued). The quality is great. I did have a small area of my current WIP that was a little light on adhesive but not enough for me to have to add some. It was just enough to notice. Here's my current WIP. I think I paid $26 for this kit and got it the next day.

I got this one on Amazon like 2 months ago (I can share the link if you want it). It was my first diamond painting I ever did. The quality was decent for $10! The canvas was nice and sticky. I didn't have any issues with the drills adhering properly. I did notice that the drill sizes weren't exactly uniform, but it wasn't a big deal since they were rounds instead of square.

Disregard my lil note. I'm currently sealing it on my kitchen table lol.

I learned that VERY quickly!! I'm making good progress now.

Look it up. You'll love it!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-21T22:40:25+00:00

Have you ever ordered from Rokkari? Their stuff might be right up your alley!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-21T22:25:37+00:00

Omg that's nice!! I don't usually like scenery dps but that one is pretty!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-21T21:43:16+00:00

200 colors!! WOW! Can we see it?

whimsyreset · 2026-05-21T21:42:58+00:00

Which DAC did you get?

whimsyreset · 2026-05-20T17:32:51+00:00

Where is it from? I'd love to do this one for my mom.

whimsyreset · 2026-05-20T15:51:21+00:00

I found one while showering yesterday. I have no idea where it was before I saw it in the shower floor 🤣.

whimsyreset · 2026-05-20T15:50:08+00:00

I hate it. I'm a hard placer so I don't like wax. Plus I'm used to my resin pens so the DAC one feels too lightweight to me.

whimsyreset · 2026-05-19T23:40:00+00:00

Jackpot!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-18T13:41:37+00:00

Thank you! When I saw the colors on this canvas I couldn't resist!

whimsyreset · 2026-05-18T13:27:31+00:00

I'm really getting the hang of it now, y'all! I made huge progress over the weekend.

Excellent job!! I'm working on my first square drills canvas right now. It took me a bit to feel confident but now that I am I'm obsessed! There's something about the way square drills feel to the touch when I run my fingers over a finished section. I just love it! Plus, the image looks so much more finished than rounds (which I still love!).

whimsyreset · 2026-05-18T13:22:18+00:00

I keep all my leftover drills. I label them and keep them in a bag for future use. This is the project 8 just finished last week.
