Well here is a guy who is a mosaic artist and 87 who likes this Diamond Painting just finished my first painting that looks great and soon to try making a purse that I might want to sell-----a retired management consultant that likes using his hands now while the head is getting a little foggy----your seal presentation is good and works for me.

[@ko2998]

Thank YOU so much for this video! Before you even said it I was thinking, “She’s sacrificing that picture with all those tests!” I really appreciate all the time and effort you put in these videos. Your top ten 10 tips were great too! I’m new to this dot painting...at first I was snobbish towards it but now that I’m making “Starry night,” I’m seeing it as more of a clean type of mosaic! I bought my kit today and I’m addicted to the ease of doing a bit and coming back to it at my leisure. I do many other messy crafts and this one gives gratification without all the mess! Again thank you for your help!

epponee, hi. There are numerous of 5D diamond paintings are being sold on eBay. I’ve got a few lots from eBay, and I’ve just finished a small partial drill painting! Love it!

[@unchartedimages2721]

Another great one is MINWAX POLYCRYLIC CLEAR GLOSS. Mrs. Crochet and Coffee recently posted a video testing it out on a rhinestone diamond painting, so I bought some and tried it on a few regular ones. None of the sparkle has been lost! And it was super helpful to learn about the Minwax because it's hard to find your 2 picks right now due to the coronavirus situation.

Hi, I have never even heard of diamond painting until I found your channel. I love how clear and thorough you are. I wish I had learned of this craft years ago. I am living with advanced metastatic cancer and have quite a bit of pain. Maintaining one position for very long is impossible. But, I might try a small canvas and see how it goes. Your work is certainly very beautiful. How long does it take for you to complete one of your large canvases? My life can be measured in months now, weather 12 or 24. I'm afraid if I start a large one I will not be able to complete it. I want to complete some kind of craft for each of my family members in my remaining life. This is so attractive to me. Perhaps I could get a friend to help me. Sorry for my "thinking aloud." It's how I figure things out. Thanks again!

[@StudioSam]

Oh my friend...I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I think craft can be really therapeutic, and it might be great distraction for you. Smaller kits...around 30x40cm can be finished in less than a month, or even a week or two if you’re able to do a little every day. Let me know if I can help at all.

How are you now? 💕

[@50Toots]

Hi I'm sorry to hear about your cancer. I do have a suggestion for you. If you go to Amazon and search for "Diamond Painting Book Marks" you will find a ton of patterns. They come in packs from 2 to 6 and they are not very expensive. They are quick and you can learn from them and make some beautiful markers. Also they will be a wonderful thing for your friends and family to have as a token of your love. Just thought I'd suggest that. God Bless!

Thank you so much for this video! I am new to diamond pairing and am gifting a couple for Christmas. I’ve been researching the best methods to seal them and your video is fantastic! Thank you!

[@NaysWays]

Firstly - you are very relaxing to watch! I really appreciate this knowledge you have shared. I don't do diamond painting, but I do use half of the products you test here on many different things and have always been curious as to which actually is better for what. I do know from my experiences though, that if you wish to maintain a light reflective quality on plastic/glass/stone items while using triple thick or any of the liquid varnish products, you can use a slightly damp sponge - or lint free cloth - to remove the product from the top of the gems once the product has settled down into the crevices. Use warm water to dampen the cloth. This way there is no product layer to interfere with light refraction once dried. Thanks for this great knowledge, I really appreciate how much this experiment would have cost you as well.

[@StudioSam]

Thanks so much! That really is a great idea...because its mainly the gaps and crevices that need sealing...the top surface could be free to reflect and shine! You're going to have to start diamond painting now!

Hey there Sam... First off I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed watching, I am new to all this diamond painting stuff and had never seen it before about an hour ago when I was having a mouch on Amazon and it popped up, so I deceded to research what it was as I am quite an arty person and now doing a little research of what it's all about and watching videos and gathering information so I can set myself up to start doing it you have helped me with some other tips with sealing, course it just totally makes sense! 😊 I am a massive Little Mermaid Fan and as soon as I seen your piece I couldn't believe how sweet it was and loved that you did all of it with the glitter seal, I think I can kind of see how it would look, I know sometimes it's hard to see on camera but from what I could see it looked beautiful and went perfectly with it being The Little Mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ I just thought i would drop you a few lines so you knew that you had made me want to do it even more so I am going to order a kit... I don't suppose you remember where you got The Little Mermaid art from do you please? If so I would be most grateful if you could let me know, though I know it may be a little different for me as I am actually from the UK 🇬🇧 in England. Thanks again, I wish you all the best.

I really enjoyed your video and the comparisons between the different products. I am going to try the Deco Art glaze because I like the results from it. I have the Tombow glue, but have hesitated using it. I never thought of the possibility of it yellowing or cracking. I used the Mod Podge extreme glitter and wasn't very happy with the results. It seemed like I lost some of the definition in the painting because of the glitter. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@jayneschoeller3299]

Thank you! I didn’t know how to proceed and like you, I want to test all my options ... but I only have one diamond painting. For my first one, it is large - 50cm x 70cm. I was visiting my brother who lives in China and their ayi was working on one - I had never seen diamond painting and wanted to try. She got one for me on TaoBao. I have never made comments on KZbin. I would like to send you a picture but maybe I can’t. I especially appreciate that you included the owl painting with the round stones because you anticipated all my concerns about the spaces in between. I am trying a second one with squares - a very different experience. Again, I am so grateful to have come across your video when I started my search! I am also thinking, if you have extra stones from Starry Night, and/or from other projects, you may be able to save Starry Night by gently removing the over glued sections ... and replacing the stones ... then with a small brush, seal those sections - kind of blend the sealer with those parts already sealed. Hope you are enjoying your morning coffee. I’m writing from Westport, Connecticut USA.

[@StudioSam]

Oh thank you Jayne! I’m sitting here in Sydney with a big cup of tea in front of the fire. It’s so cold this morning! I would love to see what you’re working on...I dont think you can add photos here, but please tag me on Instagram (@hellostudiosam), or feel free to email [e-mail] Ive never been to China...but would love to one day.

[@katherinedenham8143]

not an expert but rather than sacrificing the facets /sparkle, why not use the sealant as a type of grout and wipe the top of the 'tiles' to clear it off before it dries?

Between your Tips video and this one, you've answered all my questions and given me some wonderful tips which I have applied to my own diamond painting and passed along to friends. Thank you sincerely.

I have been using Triple Thick on my decoupage dose at least 10 years and it has been AMAZING!! I love it!

[@JennzOrs]

I just recently got into diamond painting last weekend and I've already finished 2 of them. I'm hooked! I'm glad I came across your channel. You're so good at this, and thanks for making content!

[@StudioSam]

Oh thanks so much! Im so glad you like them too!

[@natashawaugh8161]

I love how thorough and articulate you are in your videos, definetely makes for easy watching! Im suspecting you might be an academic 😏😊. Thank you for your effort and time in making these, their honestly great to watch. A relaxing afternoon diamond painting with you and chatting would be a great afternoon. Thanks again!

[@StudioSam]

Thanks so much! Xx

Thank you for this demonstration. I am working on my very first diamond painting, am already addicted and was going to start researching how to finish them off

[@Truth17John17]

Very well done! Thank you for making this and saving us the time and trouble. You did a great job clarifying which products work best for diamond paintings. I truly appreciate your efforts in this video!

[@StudioSam]

Glad it was helpful!

Never thought about sealing my paintings but it is a great idea. Thanks for all the options!

[@SuzyMcCan]

Thank You SO Much! I can not express how invaluable your style of choosing minimal products to assess the best by job. As a “newbie”to 💎 Art I’m already totally addicted. My 2 Girls & I started our own tradition a few years ago, my goal was heartfelt, heart made gifts for each other, this year after making our Christmas Cards using diamonds in a freestyle form, all of our gifts were a pleasant surprise Christmas Day as we all 3 did 💎Art for each other. I was incredibly impressed at how well they made their choices with such ❤️ & respect towards each other’s likings. My tomboy did a very sparkly high heel pink “strappy” shoe which was so far out of her comfort zone, it brought me to tears, until I saw my oldest baby’s gift to her sister which was a 45 x 60 cm square drill of Converse Tennis shoes in all colors of the rainbow. It wasn’t as far out of comfort zone, but she really went above and beyond to make her little sister happy. They both adored their gifts to each other and oddly enough, I also got shoes from both. They teamed up, each did a 4 set of partials which compliment each other and my likes perfectly. I desperately want to use in my guest bathroom. I’m hoping with the information you’ve provided I’ll be able to seal all of our gifts and we’ll all 3 enjoy them for years to come. I have always had one craft or another going on at any given time and aside from eating my baking, getting them involved has been challenging. I’m so happy to report I received requests for both to receive kits to continue their own crafting and have ordered an assortment for everyone to always have a diamond project to work through. We’re definitely a family HOOKED! I am newly subscribed to your channel and am going to seek your favorite solutions to all the various facets of this craft, hoping to find inexpensive framing options. Thank You so much, again, 100% invaluable to me and mine! Please take care, wishing you and yours a Healthy Happy 2021.

[@StudioSam]

Thanks so much! I absolutely love your heart felt gift tradition, such a wonderful expression. I definitely have a framing video planned for this year, exploring different ideas...I hope it helps.

[@marlenegonzales6642]

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. I do like the triple thick as well. I'm so happy to hear it stood up as one of the best!

[@mishti06]

Thank you for this so much. I have to admit I cried a little when you sacrificed the beautiful artwork...but your advice was super valuable. Great video !

[@cherylsingh9092]

Thank you! I've been wondering about sealing so this is so helpful x

[@shandrabrooks6431]

As someone with a latex allergy I appreciate the info on the tomboy glue.

[@paulabond8052]

This has been the most informative video (from start to finish) I've seen on diamond painting. I learned information I didn't even know I needed! Thanks for posting.

[@AletheiAdamantine]

Thank you! Just got my first diamond painting & it’s great to know that I can seal it w/o losing any of the sparkle or the diamonds 😊
