Life has been a little chaotic here recently and I haven’t felt up to spending many hours working on needle craft projects, like knitting, crochet, cross stitch etc. However, I have felt the need to keep my hands busy, therefore I’ve been having regular sessions of diamond painting.
Earlier this month I showed the canvas of a new project about to be started.
That has been finished, and I’ll admit to being disappointed with the result.
It’s the colours and marking on the tabby cat which don’t look right and all those different coloured blotches on the background, but hey ho! It kept me amused several evenings and I only paid 4.20€ for the kit, which has now been slipped inside my A3 folder. I’m about to begin another design (another 4.20€ one) but am feeling more optimistic about this next one.
Not sure if it’s a leopard, jaguar or panther, but I’m going to say it’s a leopard.
Whiskers look like they’re going to end up way too bushy, but the general choice of colours looks fairly good. Time will tell.

It’s nice to have a choice of projects to fit different time frames and energy levels. I get what you mean about the colour blobs in the background of the small cats – can you modify the designs easily? You know I rarely follow the instructions to the letter!
I probably could have changed colours here & there but the design is printed in colour on the canvas so background colour would have shown because I do round drill kits. And once drills are stuck in place, it’s almost impossible to get them off.
Love seeing your projects like this. I turn to mindless granny squares when I’m too tired for anything else.
