I can’t cope

Here they are. The first one is framed the second one I haven’t taken to get framed  yet. @MissGremlin

I've had this convo with @Captain24 in the past, but when you do diamond art, what is your process? Do you do all of the one colour at a time, or do you do patches of the art using all different colours?

It's so interesting to read how different people do them.

@Captain24 oh wow, they are both absolutely stunning 😍

@tyme i do a section at a time.

@Captain24 , so you worked today? You must be exhausted! I'm so sorry to hear about what happened at work. I wonder if our brain's negativity bias comes into action so that your brain focuses on the negative when people do or say something?

Of course, I wasn't there, and hence I'm wondering. Why this is so front and foremost for me is because this week, I've been looking into accounts of how different people percieve an incident. It's so interesting to read all different accounts even though it was the same situation. From this, I learnt how we can all have a different perspective based on past experiences.

What do you think?

Of course, this doesn't make the situation feel any easier. It's just a thought.

As for the tiger diamond art, they are awesome! I've still got my unfinished lion one sitting on the bench, gathering dust.

Do you have to work tomorrow @Captain24 ?

So you're a 'section' person @MissGremlin !

I'm a colour person. I complete all of one colour at a time. Then after all the colours, I go back and fill any I've missed.

So so interesting!

Are you ready for bed yet?

@tyme the problem I have is that my hand gets stuck to the sticky area if I try to do too much at a time 😂.

I'm sitting on my bed now.

I turn the art aronud and around so that my hand is always leaning on the plastic and not the actual sticky part @MissGremlin . it's hard to describe. Sorry!

But yes, i find it so interesting how we all do it so differently.

Have you ever tried the square diamonds? They are super hard because each one needs to be straight. I only do the round diamonds.

@tyme ahh yes that makes sense. I work on mine on a tray so there's not much room so section by section is easier for me.

No i haven't, think that would drive me crazy 😂.

Yeah I worked today. @tyme. Yesterday as well and dayshift again tomorrow. I don’t want to go. I know that I was overreacting. I know I was seeing the negative and still am. It’s just my mindset. But it’s really hard to change.

I know others would have seen it differently. That would be interesting to see that different things are taken different ways by different people.

It doesn’t make it any easier but I guess at least me understanding that it’s an overreaction is a good thing. But I still feel shit.

I have one on my dining table that I can’t even remember the last time I touched it!
