There isn’t a whole lot to share about diamond paintings. I find them very therapeutic – little thinking and just place drills methodically to create a fun and fanciful picture (like paint-by-number projects of old).\u00a0This second diamond painting for me is from Newfrog<\/a><\/span> and was a super close up of a flower in my favorite color blue. For this project I placed the drills in a systematic way – bottom left to right, then upper left to right. Once I got most of a section covered the release\/cover film no longer stuck to the canvas, so I was just careful to keep the whole picture covered during breaks so as to not attract dust or dirt.<\/p>\n

The following are a series of pictures of the project showing progress over the course of the 2 days it took to complete the project:<\/p>\n

The finished piece is posted in the top picture. I haven’t yet decided if I’m going to frame it as-is, or perhaps add a little stamped image of a fairy or something. \ud83d\ude42 If I change it significantly, I’ll be sure to post the picture on my Instagram: @kristina_craftypaws<\/p>\n
