Liz,
I don't quite understand how you did it but the owl looks good.

I had to look up 'diamond painting', it was described as being like paint by number, except you stick on coloured rhinestones. That's a lot of sticking!
Do you attach them with glue or are they pre-glued? Kudos to you for 'sticking' (
) with it. I would be completely boss-eyed!
Looking at the finished owl, it looks like needlepoint in the photo. Very nicely done.
I would imagine it must be really pretty when the light hits it and the stones reflect the light.
That's it! The light, does anyone remember the pegboards with the clear plastic coloured pegs, and there was a light behind it that would light the whole picture up when it was finished? Sorry, I regressed there, now I understand what it is. Fun!

Now that Val explained the sticking rhinestones technique, I am even more impressed with the owl, Liz.

Thanks for taking the time to describe the process, Liz.
Clearly it is not for me. Way to time consuming. I admire you for persevering through it.

Hi mea, val,
5d diamond painting is really on its own though it is pixelated like i suppose cross stitch.
But this is cross stitch - i worked on this 2 weeks solid day and night, zero sleep after mum pass away. Just had to....
I use a grid method on 14cnt needlepoint canvas , start position centre ie mouth and nose.

Thank you mea and nolan.
Nolan i had a colour thumb nail photo which i scanned into my computer , i used photo shop ( not that i understand it very well! ) and put a grid on ( i counted how many cross stiches in an inch on th 14 cnt canvas (i had to double check lol ) and then used that to draw the grid ie if 14 stitches per inch then i put 14 square to the inch.. i then picked out the dmc thread closest to the colour in the photo , to blend i used slightly different tones/shades ( i used a 2 stranded thread to cross stitch ) so to blend i use one of each tone/shade.. i enlarged the picture to 10x8 inches.. sorry guys i only work in imperial .. i did this a while ago, it was good therapy. It was about a year or so later i started to try and draw. Then i found you guys

Amazing work, especially how you did the crosstitch portrait of your Mum.
Thanks for sharing!
