Is this done with the tiny color beads? NavyDem Apr 2022 #7
Yep. Cleaner than paint by number. More lasting than a jigsaw puzzle. LakeArenal Apr 2022 #8

Takes no talent. Better than a jigsaw puzzle.

There are a number of kits at the big A.

It’s addicting for me.

Is this done with the small colorful beads, and glued to a numbered spot? I think my daughter likes to do these. Takes a bit of time, but very nice hobby

Two pictures and one set of bookmarks done already. Really helps with the stress before this election, and my ADHD loves it. Don't know what I'm going to do with them when done, but I'll figure that out later.


Are you still doing diamond art? What themes are a favorite?

So… I love the greeting cards. When people get one they know it’s special.
Especially the thank you cards.

I also like key chains. Fast and as small stocking stuffers or purse charms. Friends say they love them. Especially the mándelas. )( I think that’s what they are called) and always a bit different than any other gift.
When you do it awhile, long projects like the above lose their charm.
Smaller, more immediate gratification. 😊

And I just went on Amazon and found the cards. Great ideas! Just hope my eyes can handle it.
