Diamond Painting Preparation | 190+ Colour Painting | DAS 

Rebecca, I think your channel is fine just the way it is. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as they say!! I’ve watched other channels that have “subscription tiers”, and I don’t subscribe to their Patreon or RU-vid paid channels, so to your point, I do miss out on a lot of conversations/videos/content etc. I’ve been watching this channel since pretty much the beginning, and I’d hate to start missing out on things now. My personal opinion is that this channel doesn’t need it - look at how successful it’s become without it! You’ve turned it into a whole business! And I believe you can reach more people and bring more people to your business by giving everyone the opportunity to watch, and not only those that can afford to pay for a subscription. Times are tough, and personally, I’d rather spend my pennies on buying something from your shop, than using them to watch videos. Others may have different opinions, which is 100% ok. As for what to work on and when? I love watching ALL of your videos, no matter the content, so whatever makes sense to you, and works best for you, will work just fine for me!! This is my favourite channel, so no matter what you decide overall, I’ll keep watching!!

I've had a fabulous afternoon sat at my craft desk with a cup of coffee & your company. I think your channel is great. Keep doing the amazing things you do. Thank you for keeping me company 💖

I would love to see you start and work on walking in the rain for your Thursday WIP N Chats. But I also would love to see your process on getting a new canvas and drills for your "mini" HEAD.

Hello All Thank you for keeping me company while I diamond paint! My vote would be to see ‘Walking in the Rain’ for Thursday Whip and Waffle as I plan on ordering it when it comes back in stock ❤

I'm only half way through the video so far, but I wanted to comment on Thursday's wip n waffles. I would like to see them being your more difficult paintings. I would love to see some of Walking in the Rain! Then HEAD and Sweet Shop etc. Concerning the membership thought, maybe design a paper product once a month (ex a cover paper design we could print off ouselves, or a new design for the storage numbers or bookmark ect) This way it isn't a massive amount of extra work. Then the next month you can offer that same pattern to your shop for a small fee, also that can only be a download. No one would miss out this way, but your members would get it early. The other idea would be to offer lives to members. Members could join the live, and then once the live is done you could post for everone to watch so they are not left out, but can follow the conversation also. Ok last edit lol a tip for thise working on their painting sidways. If you are using bottles, turn the bottles sideways in the case so the symbols look the same as the painting. Thank you Rebecca! 💗 🐝

Regarding time change, our clocks (North Carolina) changed last weekend. So, here I was last night trying to pot up violas in the dark. I have 2 pots left to do after work today, so I will prioritize my outside tasks first 🌸 🌅🌛🇺🇸

Rebecca, California voted several years ago to stop changing our clocks. However, it has yet to go before the powers that be to stop changing our clocks. We used to change our clocks at the end of October, but then it made it difficult for the kids to trick or treat. So, they changed the time change to a week later. As far as your videos, I have stated prevously that I like all of your videos and have started going back to your beginning to catch up. I just started watching the beginning of your massive HAED. I just like listening to you while I diamond paint. With that said, whatever painting you work on, I will watch. I may not watch it s soon as it is posted, but I will get there.

I think you should do whatever painting you are in the mood to do Thursdays or switch between this and haed . This way you can see progress on both .

As you are kitting this diamond painting I have made a start on Outside the sweet shop.I will upload the first section to the Facebook group. ❤

I’m neither here nor there on having early access to videos. I primarily use them as a podcast during my work week 😊

I love when your videos post!!!! I get a cup of coffee and sit and listen to all the gosip talk of diamond painting. Lol. It makes me laugh and smile with a friend.😂

i like the idea of thursdays being themed, but maybe the «theme» could be complicated paintings? where you use your decision wheel to decide which painting you do. i’m definitely curious about both this one and the haed canvas, so i want wip and waffles on both of them! personally not as keen on the haed mini, but that’s just me 🙈

I love how you like kitting down. I love kitting up but I hate, hate kitting down. Sometimes I just throw the drills in the trash but most of the time, I leave them in the containers and I just buy more containers. Lol words cannot describe how much I hate kitting down 😂

Make it "Big" Project WIP Thursdays! completeing each one before moving on walking in the rain then mini HEAD, then outside the sweatshop, then HEAD Crown Jewel canvas.

Phew that was a lot! When you decide, I think your mini HAED will give you more practice on multi-placing . ⚾️

I would love for this to be a WAW on a thursday and when completed go back to the HAED on Thursdays i just love thursdays ❤❤❤❤

Such lovely colours. I’d really love to see it on a WIP and chat on a Thursday. As for membership or Premier (or whatever) I don’t think it would work so well here in Australia. When your sleeping, we’re doing our daily activities, and vice versa.

I would love to see this as a Thursday wip and waffle, cant wait till my wheel picks this one x

Ohh I think a Thursday WnW on just this one would be great and then one on your mini HAED when it is finished and so on.. 😊 I've found walking in the Rain was hard at first bug once I got the symbols sorted it gets easier.. as for using the light pad that's a bit more tricky as when there are two symbols the same, the colour doesn't show when the light is behind it 😂 The only thing about having a membership for the channel is the risk of loosing new or newer subscribers (I don't mean the die hard crazy ones that have been around for years) No I don't like live videos either.. to me they are just a confusing mess 😂 Just my thoughts lol Uou know we love you anyways 😊😘💚

Yes, Premier would be great. As you have just said earlier it would be nice to have the instant feed back. With Premier you would get that.

Hi Rebecca! I would be so thrilled and very excited if you did a premiere of one of your videos (especially the Advent kitting up). I really hope you decide to do that and I will definitely be there!!!! 😁🐝

“I don’t do boredom very well” - Rebecca. Why does this not surprise me one bit?! 😂

I think it wd be nice to see Walking in the Rain as ur Thursday Wip'n'waffle 😊😊 then go back to ur mini HAED, followed by Outside the Sweetshop & lastly ur Crown Jewel canvas HAED 🤔🤔

Hi Rebecca! What a mission kitting up! Rest that arm! Thanks for sharing! I say do what u want to do I’m just along for the ride! But if u really want my opinion personally I would concentrate on one for ur WIP n waffles but that just a personal thing for me I only work on one at a time… do what works for u! Have a great rest of the week and weekend thanks again!

Good evening. I can't speak for everyone, but this is your channel and you have been running your channel very well. It shows with your subscriber number climbing. I haven't watched a video you posted that I haven't enjoyed. Sadly, I haven't always left a comment or a thumbs up, life gets in the way sometimes. Please share videos you are comfortable with, but thank you for taking everyone into consideration. ❤❤

I run a dryer sheet around the outside of the lid of the containers also before pouring

I went with your suggestion of doing the DAS Advent through November but my head has not yet cleared from Covid (brain fog!), I have done 4 sections but it has taken 8 days. It's' too much like hard work on my brain so I'm thinking of putting it aside and trying a straightforward painting and I will save my advent till the brain clears. The colours in the advent were staticy too but the good old dryer sheets worked well.

I think since your other HAED is mostly black and white (or colors like that), I would prefer to watch a WIP that has more colors. Whether it is this painting or another colorful one…that is my vote.

For static in bags or bottles. Blow gently into item give it a try no shaking needed !! Years of bead work. Lots of static issues !!

I vote for wip and waffles on this. I would like to see your process on this

Hi Rebecca really enjoys your WIP Chat watching this video love way you kit up very fast and chatty all 😎👍🏽 I like🙋🏽‍♀️✌🏾 whatever you decide I’m cool BYE until next time

Hello everyone, I don't care what painting you do. I just love your videos if you want my vote, and I think most people will agree. we just want you to do you. Have a nice day ❤

Hi Rebecca although I like listening to your videos as I am in NZ there would be no benefit in a you tube membership to get videos earlier or joining in on the premier video thing as it is in the middle of the night here when you would upload. I used to listen to lives but I felt I got a bit hyped up because of all the chatter from the presenter trying to keep up with the comments & trying to say "Hi" to everyone. Subscribers would comment and ask questions & get angry when the presenter didn't answer. One I used to watch was a shop and people would ask about their order and where it was at. It was kind of chaotic, I and felt there was no substance to the video it was just a big gossip session! I felt like my brain was cluttered with noise and it was a bit busy for my wee brain. So I have ditched them. I really like your channel as it is, it is a good wholesome easy listening channel with lots of interesting waffle and very informative. Keep doing what you are doing. 👏

I would recommend a Premier video. It would avoid doing a live and would still give you immediate feedback on your decision making!

You could always blow into the bag after you open it. Then the static will leave the bag

Another great kitting up video. That is so exciting to me to see all those jars of diamonds. I would continue to let the decision wheel decide what painting to work on for the Wip and Waffles. That gives you a variety and keeps you from getting too bored with one or the other. If you notice one of the paintings isn't getting selected, you could make the decision to work on it for the next one. As far as membership goes, I think you would open yourself up to a lot more stress and aggravation trying to please people who are now paying you for something. A friend of mine did that and she got nasty and rude comments from people who now felt she owed them something. If she had an issue and couldn't get a special video out as planned, she was blasted with irate comments from people who now felt entitled. She ended up stopping the membership. So its something to think about. And while this is a very nice community of people, it can quickly change if they feel they deserve something from you because they are paying you.

I started putting a tray under my jars as well when kitting from watching you do it thank you for that tip.

Static drives me crazy especially in paint gem kits so I put dryer sheet pieces in all my kits before kitting up so hoping when time comes to kit up they will be fine stay tuned 😂

I would like to see a wip and waffle on Walking in the Rain x

Hi Rebecca. I would really love to see this DP being done on Thursdays until finished and then starting on maybe your HAED etc. ❤

Do the mini one you had started. 2 it's getting use out of tablet just in case. And I think that one needs a end

I would love to see the mini haed if that's the black and white one

I don't use dryer sheets at all. I just kind of huff a breath into the open bag, seal it, and shake. Might have to do it a couple of times with some drills, but usually works well. I've commented on this before, but never heard you read it or seen you try it. I keep checking, but this painting and sweet shop are never in stock, and there is no option to be notified or prepay. I wonder if they are now discontinued.

November 3rd, the US changed to fall back. I believe this is the last year of doing so.

Rebecca you’re so funny 😊. I would like you to do your mini haed.

I would love to see you work on your HAED. Plus that way you can get it finished faster :) Love your videos keep up the amazing work

🌻

I would like to see you do this one

I would like see this painting in wip and waffle. When it's finished you can do HEAD. 😊

I would like to see you working on this painting. I think using the thursday WIP&Waffle slot for painting with 100+ colors is a great idea. Plus your future HAED paintings as it is a little different to watching you doing normal paintings. :) I'm still working on my painting with 175 colors and the idea of using the lid of the bottle to just pick up a few diamonds has helped me so much until now. Thanks for your videos and keep up the excellent work.

Font know if this has been mentioned since these 2 190+ diamond paintings are from same company, before dekitting this one, check which DMC are in the next one. Ive thought you could do that with the Paint Gems as well

❤

You can join us here in Arizona, where the time never springs forward or falls back. 💜🧡🩷💛

💜💜💜

Dangit Rebecca!! I almost made it to the end of your HAED dekitting video before I started feeling my eyes drawn over and over towards my messy, needs help spare stash.. Ah well. I'm glad I have lots of water colour paper I don't mind using to make my new dividers. (My old ones have been kittysquished lol) EDIT: Though, I do have to admit that working on the dividers got me to do something I've not been in the headspace to do for almost a year. Actually paint a (small) painting just for pretties. So I suppose I can't fuss at you too much 🤣🥰

🥰

💎💙

💖💖

The Eastern United States just changed our clocks back November 3.

🎉❤🎉

Rebecca, when will we see the purple tiger?

👀

They were supposed to do away with daylight savings time but don't know what happened to them doing that but it would be nice if they would leave daylight savings time alone

Maybe you need a line

What design is the HAED canvas that’s printed you purchased? Have we seen it?

Personally, I don’t like live videos - they seem so disruptive - the creator over animated acknowledging everyone. I’ll take a hard pass on lives.
