The Lovers Tree

I had this one in my (large) stash, not realizing it had been archived. When a dear friend from college told me he was getting married, I knew I wanted to do a diamond painting for him and his bride-to-be. But what? They said their colors were eucalyptus, navy, and peach. They've spent years working and volunteering at the state Ren Faire. They're both very attuned to nature. They're both of Northern European heritage. I looked at my stash and immediately knew this was the one. I pulled it out, and after about 116 hours of actual drill placing time, I finished it. Just in time, too! The wedding is next week! I ordered a green barnwood rustic frame for it and will get it put together the day before the wedding. Whew!

It's an older kit, yes. Sone of the drill colors were slightly smaller than others, most notably in the light greens. However, gapping was more visible in the blue sky areas. I used some dark mica powder to help minimize the visibility of the gaps in those dark areas, and it looks really nice. I can't wait to present it to them next week! 🥰
