  • Holy Moly, well I guess I’m a little more comfortable talking to a camera than I realized 😂
    Sorry this is so long; if you just want to see the progress on my DP, then just watch for the first few minutes or so.
    Otherwise, enjoy as I talk about diamond painting and random info about me.
    This is my very first WIP & Chat and it's a little nerve-wracking to share, so thank you for being kind and patient with me as I figure it out :)

    I have absolutely no patience for using tweezers when diamond painting lol. This looks amazing so far. I've done a couple big ones, but not quite this big. Good job!

      They aren't quite as satisfying as just using the pen haha. I wish I could use the pen alone, but I can just place so much straighter with the tweezers. Thank you for checking out this WIP!

      I struggle with tweezers to - hurts my hand. But I do like to use them with AB diamonds to protect the extra sparkled coating

      I’ve bought some tweezers the same make as yours and they’re also slanted, I’ve used the pointed ones before. Please do you have any tips on the best way to use them, I watch your videos to see how you do it. Thanking you for any help/tips you can give me.

    I attended Sac State and spent time in Hillsborough/Burlingame. Memory lane when you mentioned UC Davis and your residence in the Bay area. Love the wip and chat and getting to know you. Hope you will film more. Your field in occupational therapy sounds challenging and rewarding. And really cool techniques with the tweezers. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the vid but I have a small tip for recording something like this. It was good, not blurry and nice to look at but your hand was always in the way. There is a easy way to fix this. Since your dominant hand is your right you move the camera to the left and tilt the camera to your right. This should give you a better angle and get your hand taking up less view. The only down side is the camera may get in your way if it bothering you to much just lower the camera and tilt the camera a little more. Be careful though don’t go to low because than we would not be able to see anything. It takes practice in finding the balance but I’m sure you will get it. C:
    Also instead of moving the camera move the canvas (it’s easier). (Unless it’s to adjust the zoom in/out)

    I enjoyed your video. My step mom had Italian Greyhounds. They are always cold so needs a sweater or on your lap. When the dog got older we had to watch how far we allowed it to jump, they break their legs easier. Soft though, not fluffy soft but smooth soft. Good luck with your job hunt. Oh I am 57 and been diamond painting since August 2019.

    • @DiamondDelight
      @DiamondDelight  4 года назад +1

      Thank you Karen! Oh, I didn't know about the sweaters, but that makes sense since their fur is so short! I wouldn't be opposed to just keeping them on my lap 24/7 :) I would definitely need to do my research before getting one, so thank you for sharing that information with me.

    Do you find the larger trays settle the drills a lot better?

    • @DiamondDelight
      @DiamondDelight  4 года назад +1

      I do find it easier with a larger tray. The walls are higher and there's more surface area, so you can shake a little more vigorously without causing the drills to spill out.
      Not an essential, but if you're able to get your hands on one, I think it's worth trying out!!

    Quick question...the wax will not stay in the pen... does anyone have any suggestions?

    • @DiamondDelight
      @DiamondDelight  4 года назад

      Hi Dianna. Are you using regular drills or AB (aurora borealis - they are more sparkly) drills? I have heard the AB drills stick to the wax more and can pull it out of the pen. When working with AB drills, it is best to use your wax on regular drills first so it gets a little less "sticky" and then use it on the AB drills.
      If you are experiencing this problem with regular drills, then I would suggest really pushing the wax into your pen. Maybe dip it into the pad 2 or 3 times and then wipe off the extra.

      @diannabowen3868 4 года назад

      @@DiamondDelight It was sticking fine until I got to the sparkly drills... I bet that's what happened! They probably did pull the wax out! I will stick with the regular drills for now, thank you so much!

      @DiamondDelight  4 года назад

      Sure thing! I have heard that once your wax starts to have trouble picking up the normal drills, then move to the ABs. Hope it works!!
