I saw a post on Reddit asking if a design was AI. It was, and I took that personally. I redrew it from scratch to prove that there’s no need for AI ‘art’ to infiltrate hobbies like this one, and that anything you can do with it, can be done better by a real person. I didn’t actually intend to make this in a full design – it was just a sketch I posted in response to it, on how easy something like that would be to draw, no need to involve a computer to generate it.

Well, when I was looking for the next thing to illustrate, I thought, “why the heck not?” I took that initial sketch and turned it into my own thing. My own dragon, my own hand lettering, my own style, my own chart. And this is the result! I hope you like it, and I hope it inspires you to make art, not let a data center do it for you. Support the human made art.

Okay, off my soapbox. I love dragons, if you know me you’ll know I’ve always drawn them. Big scary ones, cute little ones, scary little ones, European, Asian – I love them all. And of course books, because everyone should love books. There’s something magical about them, and I cannot understand people who “don’t read.” They make me so happy, and if that makes me weird, well, I hope to stay weird my whole life.

Also, I decided to draw this one out as a coloring page, so feel free to print it off and color it if you’d like!

When you order a kit, it includes everything you need to create your diamond art. This includes:

  • 1x Printed canvas with color key
  • All the diamonds you will need to create the art (plus extra just in case!)
  • 1x Sheet of sticker labels for each diamond color to make your organization easier
  • 1x Diamond shaking tray to help you line up the diamonds to make application easier
  • 1x Diamond pen tool with multiple sized tips to pick up more than one diamond at a time
  • 1x Pen tool putty to pick up diamonds
  • 1x Tweezers to help position the diamonds or place hard to reach ones

All of the drills for my artwork are resin drills, and most of them are square unless it says otherwise.

The regular drills are really sparkly and have such a vibrant color to them.
These have a really pretty, multi-colored shimmer on them.

These have a bit of shimmer or glitter in them.

They also have a matte sort of color, a little transparent and so pretty.

These drills are transparent with a shining silver coating on the back.
See all designs featuring crystal drills
They really shine in the light and look like crystal rhinestones.

These drills are neat and glow in the dark!

They glow in the same color that they are cast in.

Metal-like drills are really unique in that they look like they’re cast in metal.

They have a shiny film over the top. While AB are rainbow coated, these are just shiny.

The canvas that my artwork is printed on is exceptional. It is a smooth surface, which allows the drills to stick easily no matter where they’re placed. The guide is clear, and extremely easy to read. Since I go in and assign each of the symbols, they’re all easy to see and count, and are designed so that they’re not easy to get confused with each other. The glue is very, very strong, and since it’s not dipped, rather printed, it’s even, avoiding lumps and other issues with low-quality canvases.

The symbols are clear to read, easy to count, making your hobby easier to enjoy.

Now, you can also choose if you’d like to have the guide lines printed on the canvas, or prefer to have it more open. The choice is yours, there’s no wrong way to do diamond painting IMO.

If there are any issues with your order, such as a damaged canvas or spilled diamonds, just let me know and I’ll get a replacement to you ASAP.

If you have an accident (I have cats… I have had epic spills) let me know and I’ll do my best to get you replacement diamonds for free or a heavy, heavy discount. Life happens, there’s no reason you should be worried about your hobby too.

Since I believe in full transparency in everything I do, I want to be absolutely clear where these kits are being made.

I have sourced samples from over 20 different suppliers in many countries, and they either failed to live up to my expectations or would not work with an artist who is making their own art pixel by pixel like I am. I almost gave up, honestly, until a friend got me in touch with a company in China. I have a direct line to their artist group, Maria, who helps me print my art into the kits for you, exactly as I envision them. However, that does mean that these kits are made in China, and are currently directly shipped from the manufacturer to you. We work closely together to get you what you need for your project. They are the manufacturer for a major diamond painting group, and are doing these for me as a favor.

As these are currently shipped to you from the manufacturer in China, there is a chance they’ll be subject to any import or customs fees on delivery. Please be aware of this when ordering, and I’m sorry for this inconvenience.

I can say, however, that the kits are really the best of all that I have had samples, and they are the manufacturer I use exclusively for my own orders. You will be getting high quality prints and kits at the most reasonable price I can manage. I know hobbies are expensive as it is, and I just want to make enough to cover basics and getting you art you’ll absolutely love.

My name is Sam, and I’m the artist of all of the work on this site.

I’ve been an artist my whole life, and an illustrator for the past 15 years. My background is originally in Costume Production for Film & Theatre, but when we moved to Japan in 2012 I picked up more traditional and then digital art as I couldn’t bring my whole costume shop with me!

I love crafts, games, and manga, and have had such unique experiences living in my little rural corner of Japan, and it all shows in my art. I used to specialize in artwork for clothing – tees and the like – but after getting into diamond art because of a friend, it’s become my latest craft.

I hope you love the artwork and it inspires you to be creative in your life with this fun hobby! While I am still a beginner when it comes to making the diamond paintings, I am a professional working artist who really appreciates your support for the little guy. I hope, with your support, to grow as an artist and keep on living with my husband and kitties in our little Japanese fishing village.
