Hi, Summer. I was able to finish my Drills and Chills canvas on Saturday. It was "Dark Treasures" by Selina Fenech and Diamond Art Club. Now, i am back to finishing up my 2 WIPs so that i can decide whether or not to participate in Jingle Drills. Im back to working my monster..."Owl" by Jay Colby Art and The One with the Diamond Art. It is HUGE, 100 x 100 and a confetti nightmare. It looks amazing, though. Hope to be done in a couple of weeks and then will get back to "Breathe of Night" by Andrea Tramutolo and Diamond Art Studio UK.
Ohhh nice selections! How was the background on Dark Treasures? And OMG you're doing the 100x100 Owl??? My hat is off to you for that! From the image I can only imagine the confetti! And Breathe of Night is the tiger, right? Are animals your favorite thing to diamond paint? Or did it just work out that way currently?
Definately just a happy accident that both WIPs and my Drills and Chill canvas are all animals. Must admit, I do live cats, but my stash is really a mix up of all sorts of genres, dark art to AI images. I'm kind of goofy that way, I guess. I sure will be relieved to be done with this Owl, though.
I can only imagine. That Owl one looks so intense, 🤯. I like a good mix of confetti and color blocking, but it's really hard to find that it seems. They always tend to be more of one or the other.
I pick and choose as I go! Though I've recently adopted First In, First Out in to deal with my own decision paralysis. It really helps take the decision making out of deciding what to work on for me, and so I won't get to any of my newer kits for a verrrrryyyy long time lol. Somehow, this doesn't apply to budget stuff from AliExpress. Cough cough. Also, when do you want to work on Candy Shop? 🥰
Lol you're FIFOing your stash? Are you in accounting or economics? I have a degree in accounting and I've realized my course of study has either influenced how I document my stash, or perhaps it is my brain that took me down the accounting road lol. Decision paralysis is bunk. Makes me so mad when I'm indecisive lol, but there's so many excellent choices 😂. And premium kits are separate from budget kits. It's a thing. Two completely different things. 😜 I was going to ask you the same question. I'll most likely finish mine the day I start it, but I know I can sometimes be considered a fast diamond painter. Didn't you say you got yours from AliExpress? If so I wonder if you'd email me some finish pictures so I can do a comparison between the Temu and AliExpress versions?
@SummerSparkles Heck, yes, I'm FIFOing my stash! I'm not in either fields, but I'm familiar with it due to my previous experiences working at a grocery store and other customer service positions. If the one with the accounting degree says that premium kits and budget kits are separate things, I'm not gonna argue! 😂 Would tomorrow, October 1st, be too soon? 🤔 I think your schedule is more packed than mine, so feel free to tell me what works for you. And yes, I did get my kit from aliexpress. They look very similar, but I'd love to send you pictures of the finished product! Do you have a separate email for your UA-cam channel that I can reach out to?
We're currently at the ER, something went awry with Trinity. It's been hell trying to get her evaluated. Like we've been here for over 3 hours and they just got blood drawn... The port is not working for blood draws suddenly...I didn't grab that kit when I was throwing stuff in a bag to come. But if we get to go home for sure tomorrow. If she gets admitted or transferred to UCSF ummmm gonna need a couple days...
@SummerSparkles Oof, don't even worry about me. Take care of yourself and your loved ones first. I'm just a stranger who shares a hobby. Sending you both love and support. ❤️
I think October will be a successful and satisfying month for you! You're off to a strong start.
Thanks Alice! I've made progress on Hydie woohoo!!! And completed the Halloween Candy Shop today woot woot!
