Cuckoo,

If there is one creative hobby that clears the mind, it is diamond painting, also known as Diamond Painting.

I tested a kit of My diamond city And 19481 tiles squares later: ta dam

Let's go to Hawaii!

To complete this 30 x 40 cm painting, I took less than fifteen days, without rushing, as a recurring project.

A brief explanation if you're new to this technique (but I doubt it). Using a dedicated stylus, you attach a tiny diamond bead to a square corresponding to the color indicated by a symbol, exactly like cross-stitch but faster.

What I loved about this kit was the fast delivery, the quality of the pre-glued canvas, the high-quality protective plastic, and the square diamonds. The kit is generous; there are diamonds left over in each bag, so don't panic if you drop a few, or if your cat decides to get its paws on them ( no, this isn't based on experience, but I can imagine...).

My tip for being efficient: organize all the bead references by number in a box, so you can easily pick the desired color. The scoop is magic; by gently shaking it, the diamonds are arranged correctly, and its funnel tip allows you to store any excess tiles.

Filling in a blank space—letting your mind wander (I'm listening to a podcast, for example)—is just as enjoyable as completing an area; the satisfaction of finding a puzzle piece is close to that of a complete puzzle. So you never get bored.

The other destinations are magnificent too, feel free to visit the IG gallery

My city in diamonds

It's impossible not to fall in love with the beauty of London in shades of pink, Paris, Venice…

To showcase this painting, I chose a modern hanging system: magnetic wooden strips.

I'd give anything to teleport to that spot…

And you, do you like diamond painting?
