I'm so not looking forward to November lol. And though I was able to finish this one, I added TWO from September lol. But I'm making great progress on October. I seem to have gotten a better hold on this crazy new schedule of mine lol. I gotta go take a peeksie on IG and see what you're up to this month!
I know you are super happy Mr. Frog is done. He is really cute. I appreciate your thoughts on a full crystal canvas, as I would really like to try one. I think I will definately start on a stained glass one. Maybe I will replace the black drills with regular 310 so it would more closely resemble the lead in a true stained glass window. Do you think that would look ok? Thanks so much. LOVE ❤ your videos, they are so much fun.
The 310's that came with my CCAD kits are matte black toppers on crystal. I don't know if the shine from a regular 310 would interact with the other crystals...I would most likely lay out some of the 310's that come with the kit, then a random assortment of the other crystals and then compare it by swapping the 310's out for regular ones before I started actually placing drills. To see if there is a difference. Does that make sense. I made the horrible mistake once of using 310AB's instead of regular 310's in a diymoonshop kit and deeply regretted the decision, even though the company sent both versions for you to choose between. Made it really muddy. I'm worried that the shine from the super faceted regular 310's could wreck havok next to the crystals...
I had a hard time choosing my canvases when I ordered from them because I didn’t want a normal kit to have a washed out look the first one I finally completed last month was just pumpkin and leaves and that one turned out great the next one I hope to get to is just a couple Halloween gnomes that I thought would work out okay
You are much smarter than me lol! I just went and found 3 images I would have liked in regular drills - mistake, big mistake lol. I have my eye on a couple to buy after I come off my No Buy a little down the road. I'm wondering if I go into it with more experience and after being more selective in my choice if I'll have a better opinion of full crystals...I really hope so!
Congrats on finishing! I've never bought a full crystal canvas kit because... they just don't look great in images?? Is the effect better in real life? lol
I'm currently undecided as I've been told that my art choices did not adapt well to full crystal. I have plans on getting a stained glass or cartoon image in a smaller size to see for myself. But the dreaded no buy, and CCAD is for sure not going to be one of my first purchases coming off that lol!
Kermit is done! 🐸 Ribbit Ribbit! He looks cool AF too. I was so cocky-I did a full crystal kit for only my fourth kit ever. Fourth! I was still a rookie! I thought oh I can do this. 🤦♀️Had a few issues and frustrations for sure. Just to show my solidarity to you, I just kitted up a full crystal kit (budget friendly) and so far so good, but I don’t understand why crystal drills are so trashy. None of them are completely round, they all have little chunks missing. Why can’t they make a quality drill? Oh well. Kermit can go croak his head off in the portfolio now, 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats 🎈 🍾 🎊
Girl I thought I started doing a full crystal early in my DP journey, but you got me beat. I started this one maybe 2-3 months in...regret! So much regret lol. Now I love me some specials, but I'm right there with you about the drills being crap. Dusty and funky lol. I have my other CCAD - Christmas Warm Interiors in the WIP Graveyard still...so I'll be fighting with that one come November. God help me, I really hope I can get all this stuff done before Black Friday lol.
Yaaaay! It’s done & It’s super cute too! Best of luck with the rest of that graveyard!

The frog is history! Good for you !
Amen to that! Woohoo!
Adorable ❤. Glad you got him done 😊
Thanks. So glad I got something out of the WIP Graveyard done lol
PS thank you for the great advice about using the DAC putty pen with the crystals. That’s really a great bit of advice! Been using it all evening! 😘
You're so welcome! I tried it on a whim and was super excited about how well it worked!
He's done yay! One less worry.
Thank goodness he's done lol 😆
