I'm going to prepare my canvas so I can start my Heaven and Earth Designs cross stitch pattern in a diamond painting - using my spares! Join me while I start this exciting project.
I was seeing your last haed wip and chat and when it finished, youtube recommended me the preparation of the canvas ☺️ I remember watching the video when it got posted and it was nice to watch it again!
Hi Davonna, I'm so glad people are going to follow this with me. The prep (or at least part of it) is up now and I've just posted getting started with many more to come.
Oh wow I’m intrigued how would you go about converting a pattern into a painting, I have som lavender and lace crossstitch patterns that would look amazing as a dp.
HI Lisa, it really is one stitch is one diamond. It won't work on patterns with backstitch or half stitches, but other than that it's one for one. Each stitch = 0.25cm.
Me again I went and looked at the pattern I’ve gone and ordered the chart now I need to go and rewatch your other videos so I know what size canvas to order and see where I can download the colour chart.
The colour chart is available on the same page as the product, scroll down and click on the Floss usage chart, this will give you the colours/quantities/symbols etc. Let me know if you need a copy of the message I sent to order the blank canvas.
Hi Katie, I don't place the symbol on the canvas, but I work on a chart that has all the symbols printing and put the right colour diamond in the right place according to the chart.
I got this canvas from here: ru-vid.com?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aliexpress.com%2Fitem%2FBlank-Grid-Diamond-Embroidery-Empty-Canvas-Square-Round-With-Markings-Canvas-With-Glue-Diamond-Painting%2F32954039423.html%3Fspm%3Da2g0s.9042311.0.0.228f4c4dnIpzx1&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkJoSlh6cWIwNkVwSUoxdi02ZVQtdXlkV041QXxBQ3Jtc0trWGRGTWRiSlVxSGl5allneEdoQWZVSkxoY3NCeG01Tnd2UU01Q2lmSGtxNWlLekdWRi0xejNtRW5ySm1OSC1mNkRLczdrLXBFa09YeHBEUksxdTVWbFNfTUxMMGR2RzVVbVBjVUhrMnNETVUwb1E0cw%3D%3D&event=comments&stzid=UgxEBsza4Ct1ZwK2FVR4AaABAg.8ue2AKEbdn48un9uNxQ16F
