Diamond Painting Resources

I've made an Information Sheet for HAED Diamond Painting, it includes information on how to calculate diamond amounts and canvas size.  The PDF also includes steps for making a modified order on AliExpress and answers to some frequently asked questions.  Please note that the Facebook links will only be accessible to group members.  There is also a Spreadsheet that can be used to calculate how many packets are needed to make an order.  Please read the notes in the PDF file if you are going to use this!

    Thank you so much - the floss organizer is amazing! A question, though - will it be updated with the new DMC colours? Or is there a way I can add them in myself? Thanks so much again!

      Hi Nancy, the way the spreadsheet is set-up it's not possible to just insert extra rows for the new colours without major re-working. I've also got it configured with locked cells, so you won't be able to alter it yourself. I will add the extra colours in. I don't know how long this will take but keep an eye out for an update :D

      Updated version of the floss Organizer has been added today (18th November 2018). Version 10 includes all the new DMC floss colours. Sorry for the delay in the Update Nancy, it was quite a lengthy and involved process to add them in! :)

Nocturne

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Mock-up Comparison; Old Chart on the Left and New Chart on the Right: Added Mini Mock-up for Chart Comparison.  Left:

Thread Bear

I’ve made a start on The Enchanted Manor by Josephine Wall. This one is being stitched on 14 count aida to boost the finished size of the crop.  I've never stitched on such a low count before and was curious to try it out! I’ve been working on this on and off over the past couple of months.  I'm using 4 over 1 full cross on dark colours and 3 over 1 full cross on everything else. Progress since December: I love it how Josephine painted a koala bear in the corner of this piece. The koala is native to Australia (my home country), which gives this piece a special resonance for me. Did you know that despite the fact they are often called Koala bears, Koalas aren't related to bears?! They are actually more closely related to kangaroos and wombats! They are often referred to as a koala bear because they have an obvious resemblance to a teddy bear… Currently I'm about halfway through the first page: Wishing everyone a safe and fun time over the Easter period

A Rainbow Checkerboard

Diagonal Challenge #1 There are six challenges to be posted on the Official HAED Facebook page this year. The first challenge involved stitching 1000 stitches in 10x10 diagonal blocks. I pulled out Rainbow Girl for this and it was nice to change things up and work differently to normal! A Game of Chess! I don't usually park but it made sense to do so when working in blocks.   Even though lines are not meant to form working diagonally, I still felt slightly apprehensive about the possibly of this happening.  I figured parking may lessen the risk by helping to even out the tension between squares. Before:  After: Although I kind of like the checkerboard effect, overall I didn’t take to this way of stitching and found it more time consuming than my usual preferred cross country method.  I didn’t enjoy being confined to working in blocks...  Having to stay in the box drove me crazy lol!  I did like the fact I wasn’t reaching for floss bobbins much when working
