"rhinestone, mosaic, pointillism in 3D,"

So this must be the technical term for it. Sounds very scholarly. It really is a very interesting activity and I really was impressed by the finished painting, all glittery and shiny.

This hobby of yours when you were young sounds just like this Diamond Painting. Were you able to save some of your canvasses? They must have looked like the paintings of the old masters.

Yes, patience is the number one necessity. Second is a good eyesight. Third would be dedication. But mostly, patience. My wife sometimes goes 2 to 3 hours a day working on the painting. But despite the long hours she's always happier after each session.

I did not intend any commercial spiel in the post. I just thought some readers, especially from my country, might wonder where they can procure such canvasses. I just mentioned, I hope casually, where my wife buys hers.

My wife thinks all canvasses come with the numbered pattern. There were none that did not have the guide. But, I guess, as an artist, you would find this even more challenging if there were any available.

Thanks for the welcome. Happy to read your comment. See you again 😊
