Progress on My Current Diamond Painting

This is the diamond painting I am currently working on. It feels like I have been working on it forever - but I did take a break for 2 weeks or so to work on the two custom ones.
So far I have put about 16 hours into this one. I am liking how it is looking - although it definitely would look better at probably 40x50 instead of 30x40 (centimeters).
I have added a bit more to this painting than what you see because the photo was taken probably a week ago. For example, I have a lot more of the background complete....
What do you all think of this one so far though?

@tammys85 I am getting closer to being finished....but still a few days of work I am sure (by that I mean maybe 2 hours at a time). Glad you want to see the finished product!

@MommyOfEli2013 It’s difficult, but I enlarged it on my iPad. Still awesome!

That's one reason I like doing these...they are always so sparkly. Hard to share through a photo usually though

@DianneN Well I think the settings I have been using on my phone lately is capturing the sparkles better

@MommyOfEli2013 The turtle one I framed using a framed pictured my uncle gave me. I didn't really like the picture so I used the frame. Before I moved in here (my uncle's house), I told my mother that I would need some frames and she said I could use my uncle's frames. So I looked around here and picked out some I wanted then my mother fussed about using some. But I am going to use them anyway. I may have to get one when I do one for my best friend, or I might have to paint one of my uncle's frames silver.

@JESSY3236 Well that is good that you can use those frames, that is helpful for sure. I know some of the diamond paintings I do end up being weird sizes (when they say they are 12x16 inches but end up being 11x14 or something....it gets difficult finding frames.

I went and checked it out....it looks nice. Good luck with the framing, I know that can be expensive (at least here frames are expensive lol)
