Finally, today, I finished my quarantine project. I began with this in May 2020.
I had photographed a cheesy photo last year and had the idea to turn it into a so-called diamond painting, then frame it and photograph it hanging on a wall.
A diamond painting basically is a sticky paper where you glue thousands of small plastic diamonds on. The paper says where to glue which color, so it is all about patience, only.
But it requires a lot of patience. I glued more or less 32,000 pieces to finish this 40x50cm artwork. This took me around 100 hours in total.
Was it worth it? Certainly not. But I remembered the QBN quote 'Never don't give up' and so I finished this off.
I would like to point out that the woman originally had nothing between her legs. Nothing red, I mean. The diamond painting has 33 colors (why 33, I wondered) and either they have no skin tones in their plastic palette or they produced this as 'safe for work' (= censored my uploaded photo). I still finished it and will see if I can tweak the colors when photographing the framed version.
Very satisfied this is finally away from our dining table.
