    You won't be disappointed by Diamond Artisan Shop, their quality is amazing and they have the best rendering I know (if you like the color clocking and crisp lines a hand rendered image gives you). And I love their images! 🤗❤️

    I also have a chronic illness and it resonated with me when you talked about not speaking up because it’s the one thing you have. I haven’t done that with diamond painting (not yet anyway) but it helped me realize I’ve done the same thing. Thank you for being so open and honest about your experiences.

    😢please take care of yourself.
    The animals are so sweet and calm. Usually cows run away from humans.
    I only purchased 2 from DAC on cyber Monday and they were gifts.
    I’m glad for the stress being gone. This is a hobby and you should be able to do what you want.❤❤❤❤

    You are so right about the fear of losing points and/or being banned. How bizarre that they blocked you from the business page. Is this highschool or what?! Even children behave better.
    I'm so glad and happy that you did what was the best thing for you. That is the most important thing... being authentic to yourself. No reason for holding on to guilt. Feel it, acknowledge it, and let it go. You do sound so happy. I'm excited to see what your future will bring you!! Love and hugs sent your way!!!❤❤❤
    Had to come back to add... I'm so glad you found your joy/excitement for diamond painting again!! I can hear it in your voice!💖 I hope to find mine again soon.

      When you do something that goes against tos thems the consequences. Maybe all of you guys should read the tos for all companies you do business with and trust me you would be amazed at what you agree to when you purchase something. Kind of like Disney plus. If you are a member of that streaming and go to Disney and end up needing to sue Disney. lol you can’t.

    I got banned from DAC for leaving a 1 star review after I tried to get help with a unsticky canvas, which they refused... After that, I went down the rabbit hole because I was so confused, and I learned that I wasn't the only one. I've swapped to Oraloa as a Canadian and I am loving them! DAC almost took the joy away from me but my partner wouldn't let me give up, he ordered me some Oraloa kits and I haven't looked back.

    As someone with a chronic illness too, having to spend the energy to repress myself is too much and can flare symptoms so being able to be safe and be yourself is IMPORTANT.
    I would love to see and know the companies DAC won't won't let you work with. I might have to buy from them so I can do a science project and give light to some of them.

      It is so true I think repressing my true feelings was keeping me sick. I had so many headaches and so much tension. I don’t want to create drama just share my story and keep my supporters up to date. I had no choice as I had commited to round ups and had to make the announcement. I am happy to be free now and can’t wait to show some new shops on the channel!

    You owe no one an apology, there is enough room for everyone including small shops, dac are the ones to blame for imposing such rules, and owe the consumers an apology with the threat of stealing points and buying bans. But enough about that, thank you for sharing the story. I have my feelings about that company but all I will say is good for you !! I am proud to support you in your decision.

    I’m so happy for you Alysa! You seem so much happier! I know it’s hard not to feel guilty but it can be really hard to give something up that had helped you so much at one time. Even if you know it’s the right thing, it’s still hard. I had I to quit a job once because I didn’t feel right about the business and that was really hard because that job had helped me get through my husband deployment and a very difficult time in my life. Separations can be really hard and scary too. ♥️💙💜💛💚🧡

    I don't have tied hands. I have no affiliation with said company. I have never bought anything directly from them. I have been gifted kits from friends from the company. I have completed only 1. I wasn't overly impressed. There are other companies that are just as good. I have seen so many people screwed over and banned. If that practice continues they won't have any customers, they will all be banned. I started diamond painting in 2017 after the death of my father for mental health reasons so I am glad that I didn't find that company. I was buying from other companies. I have been a crafter all my life and love it. So glad you are are free now!! Enjoy diamond painting and stay well.

    I decided to stop buying from DAC at the beginning of the year. I saw something that I did not agree with. I got sick and have had to have several procedures done so I actually have not bought any paintings but I do want to try some other shops just as soon as I can! Maybe for my birthday!! Im glad you came out and was honest about your feelings!

    I think things happen for a reason and this is a good thing for you. You look and sound happier towards the end and that makes me happy for you.
    There are definitely things I am unhappy with when it comes to that company. The way they’ve handled the pink lines on canvases has been one. (Why wouldn’t they at least put disclaimers on kits that might have been affected.. so at least you can make an informed decision before you’re out so much money??) but I have really been enjoying branching out with other companies and seeing what’s available. I have a few Dreamer Designs and a few from smaller shops that I’m excited to work on as well.

    • @thediamondstitcher
      @thediamondstitcher  День тому +1

      Thank you! I agree the pink line issue I think could have been dealt with in a better way. I would not have been happy to have purchased a canvas with them. I dont think the points were enough it wouldn't even cover the cost of the mica powder. There are so many amazing companies out there these days!

    • @KingCakesandDiamondPainting
      @KingCakesandDiamondPainting День тому

      @ I agree that the points weren’t enough. And the pink lines are, apparently, still an issue with some of the kits that came out on Black Friday. I just think it should have been handled with something like a note on that item stating it *might* be “damaged” and to purchase at own risk or something. Not in the production business, but I would think they’d be able to look at the reported issue and determine around WHEN this occurred and what kits might have been affected and proceed accordingly. In my opinion, they should issue refunds when this is reported to them and take the hit. But I don’t run a business so… 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I bought my last DAC in April. I was new to Diamond Painting 2024. I made the choice because of how i was treated over the kit I purchased on a restock. I’m sad to miss out on some artists but know they are being held like Hannah Lynn was; the more I support other companies, licensed artists, the better for all. I don’t know all of the facts about Hannah Lynn but the little bit I learned it was awful. 😞 The fact is other companies are doing as much in quality and the customer service is fantastic 🎉.

      ​​@@MarieTannernunWhat a bitter person you are. Everyone has different experiences with companies and DAC is an OG but that doesn't give them the right to treat people badly. The shops mentioned in the video are great and have great customer service. There's nothing wrong with small shops and friendly competition and as an influencer and human, you're doing them a favor by showing their kits. When I started DP 5 yrs ago DAC influencers did show DPs from all shops. They weren't exclusive. Slowly I have seen this change and lost interest. I've seen creators sound like robots now and repeat the same script every other video. They no longer seem excited about it. The community also became mean when people who can't afford DAC shared images that had grey area licenses. Like colored in coloring book images, AI art ect. DAC banning people is not going to make the art form a good space and that's what DP are for, a way to relax, create art and have a mental space. Their TOS has gotten ridiculous and while I understand wanting to stay on your brand, they've gotten a little too controlling.
