DIAMOND PAINTING PROGRESS

                   I've been working on my Diamond Painting:
                                              "ROSES" 
                              and it is emerging bit by lovely bit.

  [I have been  resting my arms and shoulders from rotary cutting....]

Here is what my work station in progress looks like...

You can see the empty squares on the canvas, 
my diamond drill pen placer,
and the little tray holding the drills. 

The canvas to the right remains  covered to preserve the glued surface
from any dust or debris ...
I only uncover a small square to work on at a time.

Here is the chart that lists all the colors and the number,
letter or symbol that
appears on the chart for each color...

                I have checked off each color as I kitted this one up
                      placing the each drill color into my little plastic jars 
                                      (beading jars, really) for ease of use .

            I really find this a most relaxing craft; and I love seeing 
each of the colors emerging...

(the colors match up with DMC floss colors)

I first found out about this craft on the "Stitcherista" 
Channel on YouTube...there are quite a few channels and videos about
diamond painting..
**************************and, Later........

I have finished up this small square area this morning; there is only 
approximately 1/3rd of the lower portion left to fill...

I will move onto a smaller piece next...before I embark on my HUGE
Nefertiti canvas that I received for my birthday...

Hugs, Julierose, La Blageuse (DP-ing-euse)

  6. I am not familiar with this craft. It looks very interesting. Surely requires good eye sight.
