21secret 5D Diamond Diy Painting Full Round Drill Handmade Cat in Glasses Reads the Newspaper Cross Stitch Home Decor Embroidery Kit

This is a fun diamond painting and an excellent seller! I'm not too impressed with the final painting up close as the detail isn't great on the smaller diamond paintings. But at a distance (such as hanging on a wall), this picture is beautiful and a great conversation piece. Just remember when buying your diamond paintings, the more detail in the picture, the larger the canvas you should buy. If you purchase small because it's cheap, you'll be disappointed.This kit comes with the canvas, round resin "diamond" drills, and the tools (wax, tray, pen) you need to get started. I had purchased 5 paintings at once and did not open each one and do inventory (newbie mistake... ALWAYS check your kits upon receipt). Several months later I got around to opening this one up. I was missing a couple packages of drills. Although it was a long shot, I contacted the seller and explained what the deal was. They promptly replied and then shipped them immediately. This is extremely impressive! I will always come back and check this seller's list before shopping for more diamond paintings. After rapidly receiving my missing drills, I went to work on this. It is a full drill (completely covers the picture).

There are several diamond kits that depict this image but this one is MUCH more detailed and realistic than the other cheaper ones, which are partial drills (not completely coated with diamonds). So if you don't mind spending a few extra dollars this one is so worth it.The only issue I had with this kit is that the black (and only black) drills were crushed and there were many shards in the bags. This was very frustrating and annoying. I happened to have extra black drills from another project so I used some of those. PLEASE if yours are damaged like mine were, use goggles or don't let children near them because they can potentially fly into your eyes as you go to grab them with the stylus. Very dangerous. You can even get cut on these.Some other drill colors were stuck together, which I find very annoying.But the drills were stunning and probably the shiniest I've ever used!!I glazed my project with Glossy Mod Podge and dusted super fine glitter over the top. Then mounted it onto a black painted 12 x 12 canvas.Also, I gave this cat green eyes bc it's a gift for a friend whose cat has green eyes...and also the pic depicts a cat with green eyes so I was surprised that the painting wasn't accurate.Will include photos of the original cat eyes and then one of how I altered it to give the cat green eyes.Overall, really beautiful finished product. Would highly recommend.
