Progress on My First Gorjuss Girl Diamond Painting

Progress on my first diamond painting (or what to take to do on vacation!)

When the cat’s away at board meetings, the mouse will do her crafts! After a few hours today and yesterday, my #diamondpainting canvas is much improved! Newbie that I am, I still don’t know whether to work from the center out or the outside in…but I’ve figured out that I’m faster and more accurate with tweezers than the sticky pick-up tool! My #gorjussgirl is coming along nicely now. August deadline no longer a question. (Which is good, since I’ve bought three more designs – two of which will be gifts.) Any hints on how to frame them? . . . #constantlycreating #thelittlewhatnotshop #newhobbies #gorjussgirls #halloweentheme #justlikecrossstitch #crossstitchjunkie

  Thank you! She’s a gift for a friend. I’m not a big Halloween person, but I’m getting attached to her myself. 🙂

Like it 🙂 has an classic feeling to it, I have seen paintings that had a similar style. (or maybe it was a carpet? not a painting? not sure)

  Thanks! I love how the colors slightly change and merge as I work down the page, like a gradient. There is a whole series of these Gorjuss girls in rubber stamps, and I saw them on other items like clothing too last year in Europe. They all have that classic feel in their poses. Quite adorable. Thanks for your comment!

  It was from China online, and I’ve found out since I posted that the design/copyright was stolen from Gorjuss and not produced by them. 😦

I’ve been looking for more diamond painting kits of this girl, where can I find them? I made the one of the two girls but couldn’t find any more

  I’m sorry; I really don’t know. This was the first one I bought. I’m not sure which shop I got mine at now–but I’ve also been told since from the Gorjuss people that it had been made under copyright infringement and wasn’t permitted by them. So any of the shops you see with them are making the products illegally since Gorjuss does not. 😦
