Diamond Painting - WIP & Chat | Q&A

[@eastcoaststitcher8203]

What I really like about your channel is watching your kitting up. I’m an organized person in all aspects of my life so it’s kind of funny how much I enjoy the endless time of putting the drills into the bottles and the stickers, etc. my husband walked in one day and shook his head. Couldn’t believe I spent valuable time watching paint dry. It was funny.

[@margaretcreighton4366]

Slurping along with you. Take care. Stay safe. Enjoying your videos on another wet wet day. Thank you! 🌻☕️💛😀🌟

[@ClaysRen]

I love watching the WIP and Chats while I diamond paint 🤗

[@yureliplans]

You said that you enjoy teaching people different things on crafts... you are really good at it. It’s one of the main things I love about your channel. Great video. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@pennydube471]

I am so glad you are being honest about work, I feel the same way, I have to work also and it kills me that my peers decided to collect unemployment and I stayed working.

[@amyburke2989]

I appreciate the fact that you are actually doing the HAED as a counted process. The few people on KZbin that put kitting up videos for HAED then go down the rabbit hole of tranferring the pattern onto the canvas which negates the point of the HAED. I love watching your progress and you’ve inspired me to use my drills to do a HAED. Thanks for all you do

[@eastcoaststitcher8203]

I was accidentally sent a square (60 x 60). At first I was upset but I absolutely loved it. Was frustrating g at first but then it was easier. Took 2 weeks to do and came out fabulous. Wish I could send a photo it to you. I’d love to know what you think. You do great work!

[@cherylstuart3917]

I am from Australia I like watching your videos they're really very helpful to me when I do my diamond art❤️

[@carefullycrafty8170]

I love seeing the small paintings! Very cute picture and I love seeing how others work on their paintings- what patterns etc they use. Thanks for the video!

[@madisonwalker6862]

Just finished bingeing all your Advent Calendar DWM videos! Love your WIP and chats, hope to see more in the future 😊

[@TheUNCraftyCrafter]

So pretty!!! Thank you for keeping me company while I kit up a new project! 🥰🥰

[@margaretcreighton4366]

Bought the pipe insulation for my large paintings. Works great. Thank you. 🌻😀🌟☕️💛

[@addmorezest]

Wonderful!

[@susansieracki4369]

Another fun video. For some reason, I just like to hear you talk. That is a cute little painting. My sweet spot seems to be 40 x 50, so I have purchased a few partials and special drill paintings to do in between. Thank you for sharing his you do the larger paintings. I find them intimidating and haven't done any, but now with those foam pieces, I think I might try one.

[@christinebakker9803]

Love your tips!!

[@TigressUnicorn]

Love the picture, looks like it will be really nice once it's finished. Eventually I want to be able to work from home, but I must admit, I haven't been as disciplined as I should have been during lockdown. My sister is a driving instructor so she's not been able to work (obviously). Instead, she's spent hours each day being a teacher for her 7 & 5yr olds!

[@leahmcginley4057]

Oh ,, love to watch you work on this do. You should keep this to do for a wip for a nother video like this,, plus I like watching videos that people work on square diamond paintings, thank you for doing this,, stay safe and hope to see you do another wip on this do.

[@margaretcreighton4366]

Thank you again for another days company. 💛👍☕️🌟😀🌻

[@connieplagenz1122]

Thanks for answering my question. 😊

[@dawnmarie2645]

Have you done a "Mystery" canvas yet? I recently binge watched your Advent series and loved how you set it up and did that. If you do that this year maybe we could all set one up and do it with you, just a thought.

[@addmorezest]

I’ve not yet, but I’m already thinking on would be great for this years advent.

[@brittanymiller3396]

@@addmorezest where would you get a mystery painting that the grid was all black and white ???

[@daleenpape9376]

Today is 15.07.2022 I also work in an Essential service job. I'm responsible for routine and emergency services for our housing department. Lock down never reached me or my husband. Yeah staying home would have been nice but in saying that, the few that got to stay home all got hit with covid. Till this day I have not had it at all. Very grateful for that. I was jealous and also not jealous about staying home. I would have used my spare time diamond painting but still I managed to complete a huge one in 141 hrs

[@annadion4134]

Thanks for the chat!

[@jeanettekvinlaug2772]

This video is great. You show us new tips and tricks. It is better see it, than just hear it. Espesially for us not speaking english. I would love mote like this.

[@mswhittaker231]

Glad you have a FB group! Just joined :)

[@southernbelle2478]

I love using the check board method for squares also is there anyways you can mabey film a close up side view so we can see the diamonds being placed on the painting. I find it so satisfying to watch

[@slove122812]

I’m so jealous how fast you can place squares! 😭

[@bowlingpro123]

Me too! I'm guessing/hoping it's practice 🤞

[@southernbelle2478]

Squares are not that hard lol

[@addmorezest]

It’s 2 years practise. 😂

[@anniekong9711]

Rebecca, i totally understand when you said you are a little jealous for some during lockdown not have to work 😂 i too have to work from home, and may be the time i am saving is the commute time... But that have been use in front of my laptop... Ya.. I work longer now.. 🤣

[@sylvia7777]

Thankyou ever so much for the answer to my question on did you draw the 10x10 grid lines on your haed, that’s super helpful as I’ve ordered a blank canvas myself to do a haed and am unsure if it will come with grid lines or not but if not I will be looking to do the lines myself too so Thankyou very much for the answer and the help :)

[@dorothycarnal7443]

Being from Southern California, we don't have trouble with freezing pipes. Therefore I know nothing about pipe insulation. What diameter do you use, Outside to outside and what is the diameter of the hole in the center? I looked on Amazon and they have all different sizes. I have learned so much from watching your videos. You are my favorite.

[@annadion4134]

You can use pool noodles, too. That’s what I use. Any diameter can be used, but I find the fatter ones are better on bigger paintings.

[@dorothycarnal7443]

@@annadion4134 Do pool noodles have a slit in them. I can not cut a straight line for the life of me even with a straight edge. TY for your response,

[@annadion4134]

Dorothy Carnal You’re welcome. No, they don’t come with a slit in them, but they cut pretty easily. Besides, you can use them without a slit, too. You just won’t be tucking the canvas in to it.

[@vickibragdon9528]

Hey Rebecca i got my light pad it's awsome

[@paulineearhart3129]

You made that easy put in a row

[@TM-mu7gb]

I’d like to see a video on the lagging being done on a large canvas.

[@3bartboysplus]

I would just love it if you could move the camera so that we could actually see you place the diamond on the canvas, all we see is your thumb.

[@addmorezest]

I will do a different angle for the next kit one I work on.

[@3bartboysplus]

@@addmorezest Thanks so much!! I really enjoy your videos and I love your accent (I'm from USA)!

[@yvonnemorrison9736]

Hi Rebecca how did you work out what size canvas you needed for your HAED please x

[@addmorezest]

Times the amount of stitches by 0.25 to get the canvas size. 💕

[@yvonnemorrison9736]

4kidsat147 - Diamond Painting & Scrapbooking thank you x

[@FallenAngel-je8ym]

The one your doing now is like the one I’ve got my question is are symbols harder than numbers and letters

[@addmorezest]

I don't think they're harder, I just think we've used numbers and letters our whole life, so it's easier to be on repeat in our head while working. Symbols you have to give a name to do that. LOL

[@debbygorringe8706]

Hi Hi Rebecca I was just wondering how do you find the double sided tape as I have had no end of trouble it’s my first time doing a double sided tape do you have any hints please thank you sincerely Debbie

[@addmorezest]

I’ve not had a problem. Poured glue is normally a little better but I work with both.

Hi Rebecca thank you for your help I appreciate you taking time out to help me as I know you are very busy so thank you very much yours sincerely Debby 💜💜💜💜

I love Homfun. They are one of my favourite sellers. 💕

Were do you find such small ones?

[@addmorezest]

These were from Homfun on Ali Express.

[@DLE-fo1dc]

Where did you get the tray you are using? I’ve been looking for one like that.

I got this off Ali Express, the seller I used isn't selling them anymore, but many others are. :)

Yes, mine have been reused for quite a few years now.

What is a Zed ?

It’s HAED. It’s a heaven and earth design cross stitch pattern that I’m doing as a diamond painting.

[@Fransdiamonds]

Hi Rebecca Just watched your video on your opinion on people working still during lockdown and u are sightly jealous of people who aren't. I am a temp office worker so I lost my job at beginning of lockdown. But as much as it is nice not to be working I wish I was Anyway i am working on a 120 by 500 hugggge Question for u a lot of my drills of a certain colour square are stuck together I have tried putting them between two green trays and in little plastic tubs as I have case with jars in and shaking but still a lot of them stuck together still do u have any other tips. Love your videos Fran South Wales

[@addmorezest]

I get that if you've lost your job it is different to just being off. I am sorry that it happened to you. I don't have any more tips than putting them in a jar with a coin and shaking.... sorry.
