JoshPrime Makes Stuff

Hey reader! I took a trip on my lunch break a week ago and found Diamond Art on sale at Michael's. Everyone loves a good sale, and I have wanted to try a new Diamond Art. You might recall that the last diamond art was beginner level. This one is considered advanced. Here is the thing: all that has changed is the size. I am not sure that is more challenging, just more time consuming. I don't know what I expected. I can't even really make a joke of how I would have made this project more challenging. Actually, I can. Have you heard of Holey Moley? It is a miniature golf competition show that added obstacle courses to up the difficulty and the viewership. Think Wipeout with more golf. Fortunately, I wasn't expected to run through any windmills while I completed this project. I guess windmills wouldn't make sense on a crafting related obstacle course show.

Hey Reader, Have you heard of Diamond Painting ? It is a super cool new craft project I am starting to get into. I really like it because it isn't as physically taxing as smoothing walls in my house, and you can do it while watching TV. I have gotten really behind on all my television lately, so this is a positive. Now, if only we could find a way to make stuff, while also doing cardio. Diamond painting is essentially color by number, but the colors are little plastic diamonds. MommaPrime has gotten really into them lately and sent me one to try. Check me out. This kit is for beginners like me. It is a super easy project and the end result is pretty striking. The only real challenge is figuring out the way to pick up and move the little diamonds. You are given a tiny square of wax and a picking device. By poking the picking device into the wax, it becomes sticky enough to pick up the little diamonds. It can take a little bit to get the hang of how hard to press on the diamonds...
