New Dots!

New Dots!

I started a new diamond dot project, today, or I should say, yesterday, because it’s 12:30am.

I chose a Christmas themed painting, so maybe I can finish it by Christmas (2029!)

This is what I call a “long haul” painting because every inch is covered with dots. My friend, Laura likes these types best. I prefer the printed designs that you embellish with rhinestone dots, especially some that are unique shapes and finishes. I’m starting at the bottom of this print. I’ll probably, then, move to the top, and save the camels and wise men for last.

A Nice Little Surprise!

I finished my diamond dot suncatcher.

Good old Art Glitter Glue was just the ticket for fixing the small portion of the design that became detached.

When I added the hanging chain to the finished suncatcher, I put one latch on backwards from the other. When I tried to remove it, a little piece of film came off the back. It looked like there was a protective film on the back. There was!

What a difference it made to remove it!

I wondered if my tree of life had one, too. It was fairly dull on the back. I got it out of the window.

Sure enough! Again, what a difference removing it made!

I’ll have to check the one I did at the beach!

Almost Done

Almost Done

This diamond dot project is almost done. There’s one little section that stuck to the release paper. I cut it out and stuck it back in place, but now I need some glue to stick the dots to the little scrap of release paper.

Then I realized this is a metaphor for my life. At 70, I’m almost done. I’m gonna need a lot more glue before I finish.

diamond dot painting! This will be my first full page of dots.

I got this one to work on at the beach next week, if all goes as planned. It reminds me of some photos I’ve taken there.

It was only $5.99 on Amazon, and has everything I need except a pair of scissors.

There are no rhinestone dots to add the extra sparkle shown in the photo, but I have some in my stash leftover from my snowflakes project.

This is a huge project, and I do tend to tire of things quickly. I might have to take several beach trips to finish this one!

Here are a few of my own beach photos, the first two from Pawley’s Island, the last two from nearby Myrtle Beach, SC.

I wasn’t really impressed by the diamond dot craze when it started. I thought Van Gogh’s Starry Night was pretty, but didn’t care for the look of the square plastic tiles.

Then I discovered the rhinestone dots! Now I am hooked! It’s like the Bedazzler met Mosaics, and they fell in love!
