Starting a new…

Posted on July 13, 2026 by karlakrafts

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.

It’s Gonna be Gorgeous!

It’s Gonna be Gorgeous!

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!

A Big Blessing and a Minuscule Disaster!

A Big Blessing and a Minuscule Disaster!

Church was a big blessing, yesterday and deserves its own post.

I missed my midnight deadline to blog last night because of a truly minuscule disaster. I knocked my dots off! Three sticky roller sheets later I had them corralled and went back to work on this:

Something seemed off and had since I started working on this. I looked up the ad on Amazon.

Yes indeed! The color numbers on the dot packs are wrong! I wrote a warning review on Amazon, and got busy scratching off dots and moving them to the other side of the Empire State Building. I started with the black ones and OCD-ed till 1:00am. Oops! ‘Missed a deadline!

Warning!

Warning!

Black diamond dots are hard to see!

I think I’ll avoid them in future purchases!

Lots of Little Things

Lots of Little Things

That’s what I accomplished, today:

I cleaned gel plates, some with hand sanitizer, some with baby oil, some by trying to pull what’s on the plate.

I sanded the back of my lavender dotted flower, and found some paint to match.

It’ll take a few coats.

I finished my, yes it’s pink, dotted flower, went through my haul, and realized I had bought another corner bookmark kit!

I also went to the grocery store, watched EddieMakesArt make some gorgeous gel prints and image transfers, EddieMakesArt

and took a nap.

This 100 day project will be over soon, and I’ll try not to post unless I have something truly post worthy. Eddie’s video is post worthy.

I’ve learned the time it takes to blog every day, could be creating time.

Doing the Dots

while watching Survivor:

I really like these little kits from Dollar Tree. This one is not actually orange.

It’s pink! I’m photographing under incandescent lights that cast a yellow glow. The bulb in my lamp is a “true color” bulb.

These little kits just take an evening or two. I meant to buy another corner bookmark. I think the one I made is really cute!

Finally!

Finally!

I got my dogwood print pulled.

It was not too successful. It could use some doctoring.

I got the loose ends of my old dish cloth worked in. I don’t know how many years ago I crocheted this.

I saw something on social media that set my teeth on edge, and finished it up in a few minutes! I have an old quilt that needs lots of mending. Maybe I should work on it while I watch the news.

I sealed these diamond dot pieces.

I didn’t feel particularly well, today, so that’s about all I accomplished besides napping and watching videos. I learned a lot about hardy perennials and alternatives to using wire guardians with beading wire. The day was not lost.
