I finished this dolphin diamond painting today after working on it an hour or two at a time for almost a month.
It's a 40x50 cm (well the actual drill area is a little smaller) sized painting. There were something like 40,000 little diamonds I think (maybe it was more around 20,000 something) - it's been a while since I did the math.
This one is a birthday gift for my mom....since she loves dolphins.
Now, I am moving onto a Christmas scene diamond painting. It's much smaller though. Funny thing is it has more colors!
Anyways, thought I'd update on the project for those interested :) I tried to get it to show the sparkles...but my camera doesn't do it justice.

She does like it! And diamond painting...is kind of like paint or color by number but you are placing colorful diamonds (well pieces of plastic) onto a sticky canvas to create a picture.

@oahuwriter Well as long as somebody enjoys seeing them that is reason enough to keep sharing them.

You did a great job. Is the entire picture covered with the diamonds?

It was a lot of work! Yes...the entire thing! Like I said there were 20 to 40,000 diamonds! Luckily the Christmas scene one is half the size.

@LindaOHio Well when you work on it just a little bit each day it is not too bad. Although I always wanted to keep going when time ran out
