@Captain24 I can imagine it would have been difficult, you did a beautiful job. I have done a few full drills but prefer partial as I tend to lose interest in doing them. As it is I have a heap of paintings to do but haven't felt like doing them of late. I am hoping now that the weather is cooler that I'll start doing them again.

@MissGremlin I love hearing stories like that. Being able to chat whilst doing crafty things is always good. I used to love doing diamond art with my Godchildren.

I’ve only just gotten back into them after probably close to a year of not touching them. @ENKELI
Doing them with @MissGremlin has been really good. The connection is great.
Mum wants some for Christmas. So she needs to send me some photos through. So I can get them done and framed.
The rocks are all different colours and the most in the same row was three together! It was really time consuming! But i
love seeing the finished product. I like the full drills and all mine have been plus they are all framed and on my walls so I want to keep them all the same and they are all square drills!

@Captain24 wow, you are on another level! Doing square drills, amazing. I have a full square drill of the Perth skyline and I have found myself overwhelmed at doing it. I bought it back before my MH got worse so I am hoping I will get back into it.
I have also framed some of mine, one his hanging on my bedroom wall and I have a couple in other rooms as well.
Do you use a light board? I bought one and it is really handy. I didn't pay much for it, it's A3 so big enough for all of my paintings.
I look forward to seeing more of your work 🙂

The first few I ever did were squares and now I want them all matching. @ENKELI. I have picture rails down my hallway so I have some hanging there. I need more picture rails through out the house so I have space to hang!
The last one of Pix isn’t framed yet, the frame is $55 and I just can’t justify it with all the expensive vet bills.
I do have a light board it’s only A4 but I got it free after ordering a certain amount of kits in one order. I get mine from Australian diamond art. So they aren’t cheap.
These are some of the ones I framed yesterday

@Captain24 they are amazing. I used to get mine from a place in NSW but they have since closed down. I bought a lot of the Diamond Dotz brand and got a couple of frames as well for larger prints. I will have to dig them out and hang them. I don't have a large enough space to finish a couple of them unfortunately.
