I saw an add on FB for DAC & had never heard of diamond painting before? This was one of my first purchased, I chose to start with this kit first, as it has a lot of color blocked areas & I thought that would be helpful for a complete DP'ing newbie. I did underestimate the size. For someone completely new to DP'ing, I was a little deer in headlights when first unravelling it lol.
As noted, this was my very first DP experience ever. I did have A TON of static electricity issues with these diamonds.

I wanted to cry, I worried that I had lost so many drills but managed to contain the electrical jumping mess & would find (hopefully) most of them.
Fast forward to working on the actual kit... It is beautiful, the drills have 'calmed down' for the most part but I do have a container every now & again of a certain color/s I have to be careful taking out of the plastic container they're now in.

(I have nothing to compare it to, but I can tell this will stand up to the test of time), the sparkle on them is incredible, & love looking back to see the depth of the image which is just crazy to me how it can be made with different color diamonds?! Attached are some progress shots, from day 1 opening it, & a…
