    Congrats on finally moving this one out of your WIP graveyard! It's much cuter than I expected finished, lol. I love love love all the special drills, they were really ahead of the game! I'm usually not attracted to any of the diamond dotz ones, but I did find one i like recently, so maybe I'll give them a try in the future!

    • @SummerSparkles

      Thanks so much! He turned out way cuter than I thought he would, too! I'm not a big Diamond Dotz fan either, nor Make Market so far... I have a few more of both to try so I feel it's a well educated decision.

    You’ll be sad if you don’t finish your WIP graveyard and can’t buy stuff for Black Friday and you could have gotten more done at the end of this month but worked on a budget kit instead 🤷‍♀️😂 but I’ll still go back to saying this is supposed to be a fun hobby so it’s whatever makes you happy 😜🤷‍♀️😂 the message is such a pretty kit! 😍😍😍 I love enhancements!!! So excited for that video! I enhanced the heck Sandy by Myka Jelina and absolutely loved her! I used extra metallics for the first time in it and I think you might could use a metallic or two in that astronomer one!

    • @SummerSparkles
      @SummerSparkles 2 дні тому

      You know what, you're right, I should really finish those WIPs. 😜😂 If I have time to actually diamond paint! I'm torn about just buying the enhancement pack or deciding for myself. Time might be an issue though. Thanks for the encouraging words.

  • @DiamondsandDobermans
    @DiamondsandDobermans 5 днів тому

    So much to say! 1. Lazy Retired Granny did a whole thing on the DAC calendar boo boos and corrections. 2. I might join you for The Astronomer! I haven’t started it yet. Was the enhancement pack more expensive than the kit? 3. The Spiral is blowing my mind! It looks like a photograph! I know you can’t wait to do that eye! I hold my breath when I do eyes 👀 4. Your graveyard is almost empty!!! Then what????😮 5. I may take you up on emailing you a completion pic. I’m so proud of one particular painting and I have no way to share it with others. Summer, that is incredibly generous of you to extend that invitation to your subbies. Seriously I’m getting all weepy. You’re such a good person, and I’m so happy I found you! Hugs doll ❤

    • @SummerSparkles
      @SummerSparkles 2 дні тому

      Thanks for all the love doll! You are so sweet to say all those kind things about me! I'm sending hugs right back! I'll definitely try to go check out that video. The enhancement pack for Astronomer is $40.45 + tax and shipping... Kinda why I'm on the fence about it. I had thought about going over the canvas myself and just ordering my own ideas for enhancements... Once the graveyard is empty I can order premium kits again. I've also decided on a 5 headstone 🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦 limit, so from that point forward no more than 5 in the graveyard or automatic no buy - eek!

    Keep up the great work!!! Finish the 3 for October.. then the 2 for November and the Eden one (you'll only know if you need to order drills if you actually work on it).... Then do the reading window and Santa ones last.. then all your WIPS will be done.. no WIPS to bring into 2025!!!!

      When I first started diamond painting I didn't have the best luck with budget kits, mostly due to size. After diamond painting for awhile and wasting a lot of money I figured out what does and doesn't work for me. In 2025 I'm going to be doing a comparison series where I showcase different sizes of canvases, focal points, differences in what you want depending on genre, etc. I'm hoping to help people not end up doing what I did and wasting money and I literally ended up giving away an entire box of canvases because I knew I wouldn't like the renderings/completions.

    Hi Summer, sorry your daughter is going through some health issues. Sounds like you're mom had a good time but it's always good to be home. Seems like it's always quiet here until I hit record and it never fells, phone rings, dogs bark, somebody needs something 😂! Love the calendar I've not seen this one before! I like it!! Thanks for keeping me company tonight! ❤❤❤

      I feel you on the house is quiet until you hit record lol. Very similar phenomenon happens here too. My daughter is chronically ill, so we just do the best we can with the hand we've been dealt. My mom appears to be very glad to be home. I also think the calendar is super cute! And super glad I was able to keep you company this evening! I'm off to try to finish Joyful Jolly Snowman lol.

    I've been wondering, in general, are you very particular about diamond placing? Like, everything must be absolutely straight, only perfect drills allowed; no trash! Any slight deviation is a blight on the landscape of your canvas! Etc? Or do you have superpowers that ensure you've always perfect placed. 😂

    • @SummerSparkles
      @SummerSparkles 9 днів тому

      So, that depends on where the canvas comes from, drill type and shape, and the grid. On budget kits, squares, I comb through all the drills the first time I use that color and pull any that don't look right. For rounds, I pick and choose as I go, as they're much more forgiving if you miss a wonky drill. For premium kits wonky drills are super easy to spot for me. ABs and crystal drills have me with the big dog reading glasses combing through them since there's typically far more trash in those. I used to be entirely over the limit particular on drill placement. Then learned especially with squares that they fix themselves frequently. I also spend far more time diamond painting than a lot of people and we all know practice makes improvement - not perfection. I still screw up on placement from time to time and have to wrestle and wrangle drills into their proper place. But I no longer insist on perfection or I'd be working on each canvas forever. I have noticed that I don't make as many placement errors now as I used to. But I diamond paint 2-12 hours a day typically 7 days a week. I think my longest time spent diamond painting in one day was 16 hours. But I have a lot of standby time taking care of Trinity, where I just have to be available to help her with her medical needs, mobility on bad days, etc. when she's hospitalized I spend less time diamond painting and more time doing LEGO with her. But like infusion day, I'm basically sitting here ready to do whatever Trin or Nurse Benny needs/wants for the 6-10 hours of the infusion. So I have a LOT of waiting time lol.

      I can't even imagine being stationary for 16 hours to paint, even with lots of breaks and stretches. OMG! lol 😂 How did you survive, or was it the opposite and you needed diamond painting to survive? And thanks for writing such a lengthy response! It's very interesting to see how others do things. I've never combed through my drills to find trashy ones, whether it's bits sticking out or little dents on the side, etc. Bad drills don't bother me, and most of the time, I'm not even sure if they're really all that bad. I'm not particular. 😅

    Yay, so excited to see them get to their new home! I love the thumbnail, so cute!! I didn't register what I was looking at until I clicked on the video and read it a second time. 😂 I'm most excited about Coral. She's so stinking cute, and I agree with you on loving the squareness of the canvas because it's not as common as portrait or landscape for larger kits. I also appreciate how Persephone and Under the Sea are rounds while these two are squares, so those comparison videos are going to be fun!
