Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to @outlander. Yay for lots of projects haha and for having something click that seemed really hard before it did click! I carry those little moments and experiences around and find many of them in hook and yarn ❤

Thanks @Maggie! It's all frogged now but now I get to dip into the bag of colours and try again. Hope the next round feels good and if you feel like sharing a pic I'd love to see. Its so fab to watch them evolve 😊

@CheerBear, happy days on diamond painting invading the household! 😉  Here's one of the better Youtube videos I found.

It's really pretty straight forward and everything will be in the kit/box that you need.  Sing out if Big has any questions and I'm sure that myself or someone else can assist.  I visited my local craft shop to pickup a frame, but, i they have to get one in for Me.  I had to resist strong urges to get more paintings, they had a really large selection and quite a few I'd like to try!

I really enjoyed your last Sophie's univers, it looks so intricate and well made!  Great job 🙂  I'm with @outlander , no frogging! 🙂  Hopefully its not to late! lol

Oooh that's going to be super helpful, thanks heaps @Gazza75! I'll send it straight to Big before they start. I kind of wished I'd picked up a little one for Middle as they had some simple looking, small ones they might enjoy 🤔

Do you get yours from a craft store that isn't a big chain craft store? I haven't really looked for them but I had a 40% off thing that expired this weekend to use so Spotlight worked for us. Not the hugest range though.

Sophie is already a frog 🐸😉 But I'm already happier with the colours and think they'll match the overall piece better. Thanks though 😊

Your welcome @CheerBear , theres a lot of videos on youtube, but, that one is by an Australian and has over 1M views. 

It's not to late to pick one up for middle! 

I have got mine from spotlight or online.  I tried wish, but, found Aliexpress a lot better quality and that's where I'll be geting them from now on.  It's about a 1/3 of the price compared to spotlight. 

There are a lot of companies that sell online in Australia, but, the prices are quite inflated and normally postage is a bit on top. 

A local craft shop had a bout 10x the ammount that spotlight had in them. Lots of good ones for kids like stickers and keyrings 🙂

Haha It's not the late that's the worry with picking up one for Middle, it's that I need to put myself on a craft shop ban @Gazza75. The time I can spend in there is reason alone to ban myself, let alone the temptation to spend money I don't have on things I don't need! Buuuuut if I just duck in and pick up a little one I saw and just that only, it should be OK 😉😆 Big said thanks for the tutorial (not that I told them who shared it with me).

Love how much these paintings are bringing you (and us as you share them). They're very cool 🙂 Have you got your next one (you might have mentioned that already, sorry!)?

[Gazza75]

@CheerBear, yes just wizz in and wizz out of the Craft shop!  Don't be lured into temptation!  lol 🙂  I'm working on two at the moment.  Some turtles and my first square one which is an owl.  Its going a little slow, but, hoping to see the difference when its finished.  Nice to do a fairly small one after my recent efforts - 30x40 🙂  Will share some progress pics when I make some! lol 🙂

[outlander]

is the owl one you just shared, the one your working on? @Gazza75 it looks pretty cool
