Paint with Diamonds

[forgotten_aria]

Given I won't be starting my music composition and preparing for Winchester down day in earnest until January and that I was coming off the intensity of working on the costume, I decided to try a paint by diamonds kit. I didn't realize how small the "diamonds" were and got possibly a larger kit that I should have, but so far it is kind of soothing in a puzzle/paint-by-number kind of way. I could not do it without my bifocals, so warnings for anyone considering getting on of these as a gift. It's about like beading, so it requires that level of eye sight, dexterity and calmness of home (i.e. would not recommend doing this with small children running about.) Feel free to ask any more questions if you were considering this for yourself or someone else.

I had no idea this existed -- nifty! How are the diamonds attached to the backing? Glue of some flavor?

the "canvas" is covered in basically a giant sheet of double sided tape.

Oooh. That explains the cover sheet. Keeping dust off the tape while working on a big project could take some doing.

Thank you!
