February 21, 2024~My current DAC stash+WIP N CHAT~Hannah Lynn leaving DAC 

I must’ve slipped past this video! I try to watch all of your videos! Thanks for posting! ❤

That was fun to watch. I saw a couple in your stash that I wish I had bought, but I have a rather large stash and I haven't diamond painted in a while, so overall I'm ok. I will keep my eyes open for Hannah Lynn though and see where she goes. If she goes with Dreamer Designs, that would be awesome. They have really nice kits! DAC and DD are my top two followed by Diamond Dotz.

I love Dreamer Designs and in my opinion their customer service is right up at the top. I have several of their painting.

Other then my first dp I’ve only ever done diamond art club. Was in Walmart and saw a bunch of diamond dotz. I picked out one and started working on it. I think Hannah Lynn’s images would look very good. But then again I’m a fan of hers so I’ll follow her anywhere.

I have purchased many kits from Art and Soul Diamonds and they are brilliant. Lea and all the admin team are great. The canvas, rendering and drill quality are excellent. Love your channel ❤

I have a huge Collection of Hannah Lynn paintings. I am currently ISO Heart of Ice as well!!Sugar plum fairy is my all time favourite DAC kit. I blinged that one up a lot. Thank you for sharing your stash. 🥰🦘🇦🇺

I love it pink roses too come out so beautiful did it for my mom who passed away. ❤

You have quite the collection of beautiful Hannah Lynn Diamond paintings. She does beautiful faces.

I was sad to see her part ways with DAC but I am glad she is open to work with other companies. My top 2 are Dreamer Designs and Oraloa….DD has been putting in lots of work and has drastically improved on their renderings…not quite to DAC level but this could also be more to do with who is doing the human charting, I imagine each artist brings their own strengths and weaknesses to each rendering. Oraloa is newer and they are another company who has worked hard to continuously improve their product and is working on human charting as well. My viewpoint is DAC was once not perfect and we got through all of their kinks with them and I think Oraloa has a lot of potential to be right up their with DAC hopefully sooner rather then later lol. I have also heard some great things about Captured by Radiance but am still waiting on my first kits from them so we shall see soon how they compare. Unfortunately, just my opinion but TSA is bottom of my list. I am glad they are using poured glue now as I had some bad experiences with the mounted glue they used but the squares in each painting have all been horrid and I have had to seal every one of them in the past no matter how much I try using a roller. Now I have heard they did change their drills so I got excited and thought I would go check them out as I do love lots of their artists but then the clincher came when I saw how drastically their prices increased…may be different for US but for me in Canada it would cost me $160 CAD for a 55x 80 cm painting and I am just not going to buy painting for that price when I can get 2 for that price or cheaper at DAC …also I do get a lot of the even larger ones and at DAC I would probably pay $120-$130 but for a 70 x 100 they want $211.46. So at this point I don’t shop there at all… like I said this might just be an international issue but I have heard I think it was Mrs Coffee even mention how she wasn’t going to buy one painting she loved any more due to the price increase . Regardless there are lots of new companies popping up and I am sure we will all get some great Hanna Lynn kits….funny enough I am actually on my last row of a Hannah Lynn from Oraloa from a couple years back right now lol and I have so many of her kits in my stash cause so hard to resist her images….I am weak 😂

Cinderella and Got A Secret, yes, I've completed. Forest Sprite, I think I have also. The colors!

I started storing my stickers like this too! Thanks to seeing you share it before. Nice collection. The blasphemy in that square kit being in there made me chuckle. I hope whoever Hannah chooses to license with listens to the customers suggestions on how to do her artwork justice. I really don’t think for example a super confetti heavy rendering would look good

I just got one of munimades kits from her new manufacturer and they are in the process of switching to the 20facet drills like dac. I personally think munimades rendering and quality would be the most equivalent to dac. I just think her business is currently too small to handle the influx HL would bring and the shipping costs would effect international buyers. I think oraloa is probably the next largest company that could handle HL buyers. My only complaint with them was that they had less hand charting but they are apparently going to start doing more of it wich would work better for HL art. I will admit that I only do sqaures and, for me, oraloa is better than DD so for my sake I'm rooting for oraloa. 😅😂

Just checked out Hannah Lynn's jigsaw puzzles!! You would love them if you were into jigsaws!!

I will purchase that kit if you can't find the one you want to trade it for. I had a pipe burst and ruined my stash I had in the hall closet😢 so looking to buy some kits. Be awesome to have one that you owned. ❤

I would prefer that HL and DAC work it out somehow. Her paintings sell like hotcakes. Give her what she wants!

🥰

At one point she said she was going to Dreamer Designs and Oraloha? [Spelling]

Personally, I think both Hannah Lynn and DAC should put their differences aside and come to an agreement. Leaving DAC seems like a lose-lose situation for both parties. I have many kits from Dreamer Designs and 4 Hannah Lynn kits from Oraloa. Hands down, DAC has the best quality canvas and square drills. I am currently working on 2 HL pieces - one from DAC, the other from Oraloa. The Oraloa rendering is fine but for the fact that they used black ABs instead of the normal 310s. It makes the whole painting look weird, but there is no way I am going to pick them all off. I kinda dread this one coming up in my rotation. The DAC painting is the 12 Days of Christmas and is probably the best kit I've done in the 6 years I've been diamond painting. There is no doubt that DAC has the best canvases. Both DD and Oraloa now have the soft lint canvases (like practically every other diamond painting company producing poured adhesive canvases) which, in my opinion, feel like cheap felt. HL leaving DAC means she is settling to sell her products as lesser than and that's disappointing. DAC allowing her to leave means opening a door to the market to a smaller competitor which could be dangerous and eventually regrettable. I have worked for several companies in my career who overestimated their "god-given" marketshare only to be replaced by another and are now completely defunct. I wish they would just negotiate fairly.

I sent you an email about Heart of Ice.

Why can't you do square kits?

Sounds like it was a money issue. Bet that’s why Josephine left dac as well. I wish her well with which ever company she chooses.

For me, I much prefer pick the size companies, I can tell what size would be a good render. I like dreamer designs but their square drills, are god awful.

PWD are not a reputable company. So she will be wise to be away from them.

sad and frustrating news about Hannah Lynn. She wants reputable and great quality, she has that already in DAC, by far the absolute best quality. If it was a money issue, well, DAC is top dog, so who else can come close in negotiations? I wonder what the real issue was. It had been a while since being on DAC SITE I can tell you I was disappointed in some of the adult themed kits they had. Personally I feel DAC is big enough and popular enough to stay picky and not go down that road of accepting just any image. This is a family hobby - children, young adults should be able to scroll through and not see vulgar words and explicit photos. Off the top of my head I want to say 1 had the F word, another said I Hate You, another had a naked a$$, I even reached out to DAC, " what are you doing, what's with the negative messaging and explicit images"? So I can completely understand artists being turned off
