Interesting Chris. Never seen that sort of crafting before. Looks good and it’s great to have a creative outlet. She’s talented. Please pass on my compliments!

Never seen that before, a great new hobby for your wife and very nice it is too. I hope she heals up soon. Mind you, if the box of little diamond things gets knocked over you will need a bigger Hoover.

That's wonderful work, my compliments to Jen.
That should distract the carpet monster away from your builds Chris!

Certainly different Chris. How about if you put together a frame for it?

I would like to know how Jen picks up the individual gems. We've all struggled with losing tiny parts to the carpet monster because we don't have a secure method of holding them.

Most unusual technique, never seen it before but Jen seems to have got it down to a fine degree! Congratulations to her!

Hi Jen
That's really great. I do like it. Must take a steady hand and a lot of patience. I've not heard of the craft before. I look forward to seeing your next project.
Hope the healing process goes well.

JEN SAYS MANY THANKS to all you guys for your nice comments an dave in the kit there is a special pen with a dimple in the end an when jen goes to pick up a diamon she touches the pen tip on a special bit of glue paper an the diamon sticks to the pen tip an then she looks for what no. it is an then just pushes it down on the pic an on the pic there is a stronger sticky ness that holds the diamon in place an so on how that an jen says thanks for your question

A nice hobby and a lovely result. Chris, please tell to Jen I admire her patience in handling all those tiny pieces, I get "nervous" just dealing with some PE parts....

Excellent looking picture Chris, top marks to Jen, and surely that's worth a special edition 'dogs' from the committee,.....(looks over toward Comrade Race...)

 

[yak face]

Looks brilliant chris , jen has a real talent for this . Is the pick up tool like one of those wax pencils ? Good to know youve got a nice supply of landing lights and headlights too ( just dont let jen catch you nicking them !):smiling5:
