Diamond Painting

I received a kit and started Diamond Painting (dp). For those of you who dont know what diamond painting is - well it is a piece of canvas with a pattern on it that you put little tiny bead like things on them called drills to create an image.  It uses cross stitch patterns and you can use the pattern and symbols to cross stitch. It also coincides with the DMC color chart to match colors.  Now I don't cross stitch so I really cant go into this specific hobby. 
I have found that doing dp's really helps calm my brain and relax me.  When you hear that click when you place your drill it is a very satisfying sound.  Theres nothing better than finishing your project.
I am now on my first full drill (whole page  covered in drills) and cannot wait ot get it done.  It should be done in the next couple of days. 
You can also make your own drill pens.  
Attached are my first two dp's.  I will be framing these and giving them as gifts to my granddaughter and my mother. 
Signing off for now. Have a great day.
