Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

@Birdofparadise8 will do.

I use a wax pencil, you'll see it in the photo.

I'll upload some more pictures to show you different options 😁

Is the wax pencil better than the little sticky thing because last time I did one, I ran out of the thing it wouldn't stick right @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

It looks cool. I thought there would be more dots on it @ENKELI

@Birdofparadise8 I have seen these but never used one. Photo to follow with the styluses I use.

It's a bit dark but is it just a pencil @ENKELI

These are the different stylus types I use. The purple one lights up.

The budgie was a big disappointment, I also expected more drills (diamonds)

I also have a light pad that helps a lot with placement. This is the mandala I'm doing now.

I like the wax pencils, instead of using the wax square you just use the pencil and sharpen it like a normal pencil when it starts getting too low to pick up drills.

I've been doing diamond art for about 4 years now so I've got heaps of wax and plastic styluses that I end up throwing out. I also use sealant on the good paintings to prevent the drills from falling off, which they do after a while if they are displayed without a frame to cover them.

Where did you get the pencil you use from @ENKELI

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 it is just like a pencil. I got them from Temu and Shein.

Ah okay @ENKELI

What are you doing for dinner?

Did you get that ice cream?
