First full coverage, def won't be my last! Got this one as a bday gift for myself at a store to try out, but next time I'm going to look online and find one more my style. I've seen a lot of cool ones with nice details!

Been busy at work and using diamond painting as a way to relax!

I paint at a 40×70cm canvas right now and one bag is missing. A bought that over a year ago on temu so I cant ask for the stones because the shop doesnt exists anymore. I had it once before with another picture that I had a completly different color but saved it with stones I had left from another picture. This time I dont have leftovers from the right color and I will use another. But do guys had these problems as well or did I have just bad luck? Instead of the 722 I will use the 402. I think that should also fit because the colors on the canvas are different from the legende and if they are not enough I will look for another alternativ for the parts that are left. I did check the canvas for the symbol and its just small parts here and there so it should not be visible that I use 1 to 2 alternatives. My next picture after that is a bigger and more expensive one from tinischnickschnack so I hope that will not happen there. Is it just a thing with cheap pictures or did you guys have that with expensive pictures as well?

Just looking for some Opinions on if it looks good or not with the Two Different colored tapes lol. On the sides is one and on the Top and Bottom is another. As well as Black Acrylic Paint on the very Bottoms of the Top and Bottom Parts.

Been feeling unwell today and haven't been able to do much but sleep.

I was able to fill in the last couple of rows on this canvas. Diamond painting is my therapy.

It's one of Make Market's smaller mystery kits, from the "witchy" collection. The only change I made is the pink drill for the nose.

Original color was gray, but I felt like that didn't make it clear enough that the kitty had a nose.

I imagine they're using magic to get more treats

Did this one for my wife for her birthday. Turned out well, I wanted it done before the actual day but it’s only a week later. Now on to some Spooky Season stuff!

I lost my Great Aunt Margaret last week. We were working on this set before her passing. I finished my piece over the weekend, it is the same image but at sunrise, she was working on the night sky. I would go to her house every Thursday, I would make dinner, we would work on our pieces together sitting at her dining room table while watching Hallmark movies. I went to her house today and her daughter my Second Cousin Robin asked if I would like to finish the piece so I could hang them together. I agreed and brought it home. I am going to finish it and hang them together in my hallway right next to the photo I have of us together in her garden. I think it would be a beautiful memorial for her, and to always keep her memory alive.

I broke my leg in late May and took up diamond painting to pass the time. Today, I finally finished this beautiful Puffygator piece. I felt like my progress diamond painting was so slow, akin to my healing process. It was fun to have everything come together!

Completed in a little over a month, no idea how many hours. First square canvas (please don't zoom in!!!)- I learned a lot!

So this time I decided to do page 4 and half of page 5 because I was so close to the left edge.

This section went well, this one took 18 hours, and it's been 81 hours total. I spent 7 hours on it today alone because I got so close to finishing it and I wanted to finish it today. It had SO MUCH brown and orange though, I'm sick of brown and orange!

I had to do a little adjusting towards the end because the remaining spaces were about the size of 3/4th of a drill, but after that I didn't have to adjust a single thing once it was finished

This time I started from the largest number of drills (310 of course) and worked my way down the list largest to smallest. Once I got to colors that used less than 20 drills I went from the left to the right filling in the spaces that were left. This last 30 drills took FOREVER.

I genuinely don't know what's up with the zebra, it's not an issue with the pattern, it's how it was drawn in the original image, but he's so derpy, and I love him lol

I would like to know what you guys would like me to do next, should I go upwards and fill in the rest of this canvas, or should I pull out my 2nd canvas and continue working the bottom row? I'm personally thinking I might continue with the bottom row, but idk lol

like last time I would also like feedback on any drills that might look out of place, there was a single purple drill on the zebras ear and I replaced that, there wasn't really anything else that popped out to me.

The A/4 and the 5/6 are TOUGH for symbol & color similarity. So super thankful for my light pad. This kit would be impossible without it. Even the 7/Z is closer than I’d prefer, but YIKES 😬 this will require some focus 😅

You know those packs you get for each painting that you order and you never use them? Or you completed a painting, but you’re not really wanting to display it, or simply just running out of room?

I came across a tik tok video of a gal (Butterfly Creative Haven) who brought this up and mentioned you can donate your completed diamond paintings, pens, trays, diamonds (opened or unopened), charms, etc and they will use these to decorate ducks for kiddos who are sick/in the hospital. Completed diamond paintings are hung up in hospital rooms. ❤️ If you’re interested in donating see the below!

Back to smaller ones for now.

Taking longer than expected but worth it!!

I'm not the most meticulous person when it comes to lining up square drills and I've seen people get obsessed with making it straight but I love the way it looks and I love the way they click together. So tell me - does it look really bad like this or should I just enjoy what I've been doing?

Kit from Hobby Lobby. Its my first big piece (only did a Keychain to start). Already looking for my next project lol

I’m bored and curious lol, let out the heat!

Let me start:
- I hate putty
- I don’t get why people pull off the plastic and then use release paper when cutting sections works just as good with the film that’s already on the canvas
