First art completed!

When I first started getting into diamond painting at the urging of my friend, I wasn’t sure I was really going to enjoy it. I mean, I like crafts and the like (if you know me, duh!) but I wasn’t sure on this one. I figured, I’d give it a go, and if I wasn’t as keen on it I’d convert them to cross stitch for myself.

Well, I’m officially hooked!

Here are the first two samples I had ordered for myself, all finished and hung on the wall. Sure, I don’t have fancy frames for them, but they look good none the less.

Samus is also neat in that it’s both really, really more sparkly than I had thought it would be, with all the metal-like and crystal diamonds, plus, it glows! For real, the metroids (and their eyes) glow, which is super neat to me. I guess I never grew out of that phase.

And the crossroads with the mejiro too is really pretty. I think I like fairy dust diamonds more than anything, so I’m looking to design more work that utilizes them whenever I can.

I’ll get some video of them one of these days so you can see just how sparkly and shiny they are, but it’s not so much that it looks… tacky? I guess that’s the word. I was really afraid of that to be honest – I’ve seen some that just kinda aren’t my thing, but so far, I’m in love with these!
