Yes, another unboxing post. Sorry guys... But this one will probably be my last one for a while.

Diamond Painting Unboxing: Easywhim Wolf and Woman CTR-1103

Canvas: 60x40 cm. Drill area: 50x35 cm.

Round diamonds.

Double-adhesive canvas.

40 beautiful and vibrant colours... DMC code and inventory sheet. Yeah!

Purchased it from Easywhim.com. Cost: $42.30 CAD shipping included.

Ordered June 19th, package was shipped June 20th and it got here in Quebec August 7th... around 50 days for delivery, that’s way too long... but let’s blame it on the Covid situation.

Here is the link for this gorgeous painting:

The painting arrived in good condition. The box was damaged and badly crushed on one end but the canvas looks ok. Can’t tell for the moment if there are any rivers or bubbles... I’ll check that when I’ll start to work on it. The symbols are easy to read and there are no “training wheels”.

The drills look clean and the colours are beautiful BUT Intruder Alert !! See picture... there are a lot of misplaced diamonds. There is at least one or two “intruders” or “strays” in most of the bags. But the kit compensates a bit for this... Yes, indeed, the kit is quite good: white pen with squishee, two multi-placers, sharp tweezers, a white funnel boat, resealable baggies and two big chunks of pink wax. Nice!

Can’t wait to start to work on this one. Hope it looks as good as the image on the Easywhim website. I like the theme of this painting and the colours in it. I hope the images in her hair and in the wolf’s fur are detailed enough so we can see the fall, the mountains, the greenery in them. I hope that this details are not lost in a sea of colours. Well, we’ll see !! Can’t wait to show it to you once it’s completed.

Since starting diamond painting last year, I’ve done a quite a few round drill kits, but no squares. When I spoke to EasyWhim Arts and Crafts™ about reviewing one of their kits, they were almost as excited as I was! I was warned that square drills have a higher difficulty level than rounds, but I’m always up for a challenge!

I chose to tackle the Magical Unicorn kit, which is a 25cm by 30cm canvas. The kit includes everything I needed to start; canvas, instructions, drills, wax, drill tray, applicator pen and tweezers. 

I seriously love EasyWhim for the way they package their drills. Each drill color (and there were 35 colors in my kit!) comes individually packaged in a resealable bag marked clearly with both the appropriate kit number and DMC color, as well as an approximate count of the drills.

As I was traveling most of this summer, I was able to fit all the drills and accessories in a small Tupperware®-like case and take my project with me.

As you can see, squares are a bit harder to work when you first start doing them. The alignment alone can cause headaches if you are a fan of precision.

This gets better as you go. I found the best advice I’d been given was to use a ruler to straighten the alignment and to place the drills in large sections in a checkerboard pattern.

As you can see, there are a few drills I have to fix still.

This is officially the longest time I’ve spent working on a diamond painting. I started this back in July, and worked on it in sections in between conventions and other things all summer and fall. I finally finished it in October.

I am so incredibly proud of how pretty this turned out! The drills are sparkly and once pressed for a few hours they don’t pop out. The image looks exactly like it does on the website, and I’ll be framing this for SC’s home office.
