I'm also working on an HAED conversion with EverMoment drills (I got the canvas from HAED directly though), and I can tell you the drills are an absolute dream! Some of the best quality squares I've ever seen, better by far than the older DAC diamonds. I think you're gonna have a great time!
Katie, I'm so happy to see you excited again about this project. Can't wait to follow your progress. I agree that no matter what type of canvas someone works on it has to be manageable for them to do otherwise they might loose that joy of the craft.
Evermoment has such nice quality canvas and drills. I am working on a custom for summer with the master from them and it has been great. (I may actually like the diamonds more then DAC’s). I am excited to see your progress as you work through this project.
I’m so glad the materials seem so much better than your last kit. I can’t wait to see you working on this. I’m pretty sure I have this in a large jigsaw puzzle, but I thought it went by a different name. Maybe they are just very similar 🤔 anyway.. I’m super excited for you and can’t wait to see how this comes together
Such an incredibly beautiful , fun, colorful and dreamy canvas, but it looks so overwhelming. Im looking forward to seeing you bring this to life! I can see some great opportunities for some very special crystals in places…how fun!!!
Ooooh I'm so happy for you!! I'm also so happy that you posted this now. I'm about to start writing up a list of supplies I'll need for my own conversion, and I'm TERRIFIED I'll get it wrong or pick a company that's not great quality. I'll definitely look them up. After the hassles of the last one, I hope you love it!!
I’m currently cross stitching this chart (max color), and I have the cross stitch materials for the Grand Library ordered as well (supersized, max color). I can’t wait to see your progress on this!
Good luck Katie! I am currently working on an EM custom. I am enjoying it. The drills to me are consistent with DAC drills honestly.. Have fun! I have completed other EM's and am completely satisfied.
I deeply and sincerely admire your courage to start on an "enterprise " like this, Katie!!! I am extremely curious to view your progress and feelings about this. Good luck and love from the Netherlands, Willeke
Too cool I can't wait to see the kitting up for this. And I called it when I saw this one I was like o yes this is the one think she would pick. Good luck
Hi Katie! Woooow! I can’t wait for you to work on it! I am eager to know of the quality once the drills are on the canvas. I would really like to do such a fun and a bit crazy 😜 project. I will for sure benefit from your experience. I can start dreaming looking at HAED beautiful images. Oh! And I was so relieved when you saw the drills in the tubes! It’s like I was the one unboxing the whole thing 😂! Thank you for all the content on your channel!
Oh wow! That looks AH-MAZING! I am so excited that you found your joy again! Yay! I have done several custom DPs from EM. The first ones were on double sided adhesive and my recent ones have been on poured glue! Yay!!! The results have been fantastic (even the ones on double sided adhesive) I just finished a custom of our sweet new puppy. It was my husband's favorite photo from the day we got her at 8wks old. It turned out SO AH-MAZING! It had insane confetti however, even with that it was SO enjoyable because 1. The subject matter 2. The quality of the canvas and the diamonds. I had very little trash, no popping drills and no gapping. I actually had that satisfying "snap" when placing the diamonds. I am confident that your experience will be a positive one as well. was so heartbroken for your with how disappointed you were with your "Dragon Race Into The Night" project. I have a good feeling about this one!
So Exciting! What a wonderful project. Love the artwork. Really looking forward to seeing you kitting up. Canvases look great. You have learned so much and it is great to see you setting yourself up for success. Looking forward to watching your journey 💜💎🌟
I think you will have very good times with these materials! I love EverMoment. And I like your idea to work on this painting in 8 different panels. Looking forward to your kitting up.
My Custom painting for Summerwiththemasters2022 came from evermoment and I am enjoying it the drills are great the canvass I love and I have two cross stitch patterns for HAED that I will be ordering the blank canvasses and drills from evermoment. Can't wait to see the kitting up video I loveeee kitting up videos 🤣😂🤣
I knew this would be the one you picked! it's gorgeous, and if I had the money I'd buy it too and work on it along side you!. I think the top right panel is pretty and a nice place to start. Best of luck!
I've tried doing this with a HAED cross-stitch pattern also. It was sooo much confetti that I couldn't stick with it. Only did a very small section. I still have everything just in case I want to try again. : )
It seems to me Katie that you are not happy unless you are stretching your creative wings to the max! I absolutely adore the image you will be creating but I know I would just have to approach it as a normal diamond dot. You blow my mind! 🤩😱😳
Yey!!! This is the one I was hoping for. Thank you so much for showing this. I so much appreciate it. I'm hoping to start mine early next year. Wishing you all the best.💝💖💞
I can’t wait to see you doing this DP. Love the picture of the DP. Are you going to show us how you do the conversion ? It would be cool on a wip& chat. Have a magical day ❤️🌹😊
Loved the video! I'm so sorry that your last conversion project didn't work out. Aimee Stewart and her shelfs is the reason I started to cross stitch. It seemed so hard to get all the materials for the diamond painting conversion that I just decided to learn how to cross stitch instead😂 But I'm really looking forward to seeing you complete this as a diamond painting😃
Congratulations on your retry of a very difficult and complicated conversion! It makes sense that you needed to do a first try of the project to iron out the facets and difficulties that arose. If you only end up with one preproject for this canvas, that is very encouraging. I know with most of my former sewing attempts, I didn't feel like I really understood what I was doing until I had actually finished. What will you do with the eight canvases? Will you put them together or on separate hangings? I am so happy that you're happy 😊.
OMG my heart was going so fast until you found all the drills, best of luck with this project. I have a HAED to get a quote for, a UK company has given me a price of £240 so I think I will try EverMoment to compare 🤞
Evermoment is where I got my custom to fix the crappy image I was doing before. I love them so much, but I know people dont like AliExpress 😭🤣 Just saw this after commenting on your other video! Also I was definitely yelling for you to open the tubes 🤣
I hope you're still posting to RU-vid in three years when you finish this. 😁😁😁 I'm just kidding. I finished my last "big" project earlier this month and I miss it. I really do want to watch your progress. Lovely choice.
Hi Katie I'm actually glad you got from EM. I am curious to see what your take is on their materials when you start working with them. I personally get all of my customs from EM because I think their quality is really good. I love their canvases since they changed to poured glue. Enjoy and I am looking forward to following along 😀
Nooooo way you are also converting the same chart as me! Started a few months ago, but I have to say that I am not very far. I am splitting it in four panels. Never put seperate panels together before so I hope everything works! We could be painting buddies here 🤗🥰
I hope you show us how you intend to join all 8 panels together once finished. Do you have a video that shows us how you worked out the conversion and how you were able to calculate the size and how many drills needed for each colour? I would love to see how you did this,
I don’t have a video that goes into more detail than this, no, but there are people that have laid it out in detail in the HAED Diamond Painting Facebook groups! I’ll see about doing a video on this in the future, as well.
@@DiamondsandWashi That would be great if you could. I admire anyone you can tackle such a huge project. It may take you awhile but I am looking forward to seeing it all completed. Thanks again and good luck with it.💕
I look forward to seeing your progress on this. I have a conversion from the same company as your last one that needs to be scrapped so it will be nice to know if I can reorder from this company. I will be watching! No pressure though! 🥰. I always start top left but I'm a lefty.
I love this video! I know there are lots of videos out there on how to convert a chart. I have my Woodie chart by manzano and I’m very intimidated to start the conversion
Wow! So happy to see this video! I have spent the last 2 days figuring out my 1st cross stitch conversion! Definitely looking into evermoment! I hope source all materials before september, so I can start the canvas right as drills and chills start! (No idea whether it runs this year, but I will do the canvas anyway🤣) I will do a smaller one, mini magic autumn from head.
I am so happy for you… I am considering to order from EM as well … but would you mind tell me the name of the file that you used to match the DMCs which aren’t available? It’s my 1st time trying to convert and am feeling a bit overwhelmed
Hi there! If you join the Official HAED Diamond Painting FB group, they have the file linked in there! If you look in the Files section of the group, you should see it there. Alternatively, try searching for “DMC Conversion” in the group and it comes up as well. Here’s the link to the group: facebook.com/groups/2643433445969875/?ref=share
Do they ad % extra in case of trash, bad, spills etc? This looks like so much fun and exciting! Love kitting up videos! Art is beautiful 😍 can't wait to see this come alive!
I’m not sure if it’s an exact percentage, but you end up with extra no matter what because they only have bags of drills in certain quantities (it’s something like counts of 200, 750, etc) and they always round up. You could manually add on extras when you’re giving them your numbers, though!
I went to both of the facebook groups regarding the drill conversions. How did you decide which swaps to use? I even went to the craft store and compared so now I have several options for some of them and I don't know what to do lol! Help!
I am so excited for you - I've been anxiously waiting to see your new project! I am debating between a printed HAED canvas and a cross stitch conversion. Even though it is much smaller than yours, I just don't know if I'm up to a conversion. How will you join the canvases?
That’s a great question! I actually am not sure just yet. I’m not planning to hang this in my home due to the sheer size, but so many people have asked about how I’d connect them that I’d like to experiment and find a way ☺️
Hi Katie, This is such a nice project!! I'm also working on a cross stich conversion and bought all materials also on Alie. But in the shop Ever Moment I can not found the blank canvas and the drills. I only have the custom photo's and the paintings. Maybe it is because I'm living in Belguim.. I don't know... do you have the link for the canvas and the drills please. I'm very interested! Thank you!!
Hi there! You have to message the shop directly if you want to order a blank canvas and/or drills. They’ll give you a quote and tell you how to purchase.
I want to do the Sanctuary by Spangler I bought the supersize and regular size the supersize is gigantic in diamond painting.....I am totally intimidated by the size have you thought about how you mate up the paintings and did you plan for any abs?
i turned a cross stitch of a navy seal in to a DP im memory of my dad it was interesting and some times frustrating and the place i got the stuff from was not great the drills sucked
@@DiamondsandWashi but i did finish it and it was displayed at his funeral i also added his years of service in the corner of it ! i did have to seal it to get the drills to stay put! if i ever do it again i will most defiantly make sure it is poured glue and that they are good drills!
Very nice! You may have mentioned this and I missed it, but will you be displaying the panels separately or connect them somehow? I am looking forward to watching your progress
That’s a great question! I actually am not sure just yet. I’m not planning to hang this in my home due to the sheer size, but so many people have asked about how I’d connect them that I’d like to experiment and find a way ☺️
Love it. I’ve seen the art work in what I can only assume is unlicensed diamond paintings in way too small sizes. I really love this art work. How are you going to put all the completed panels together to form one painting?
That’s a great question! I actually am not sure just yet. I’m not planning to hang this in my home due to the sheer size, but so many people have asked about how I’d connect them that I’d like to experiment and find a way ☺️
@@DiamondsandWashi Perhaps you can use the extra stick on the canvas you don't use (because you ordered bigger). And then also use ducktape at the back... It needs some planning on to choose which side off the canvas you leave without diamonds and do that on every panel. Than there is a possibility to use the extra glue to stick the canvasses together. I think that was what I should do.
