girl i am here for the three hour long video of every diamond painting you've done LMAO 😂😂😂

I miss Whip out your WIP. It always made me smile when you giggle after saying it. 😂

Traveling with a DP 😮🤩 I never even thought about that. Can you make a video how you travel with DPs??

I hope that you and Connor have the most amazing time! ✨

Thanks for your Whip and chat... 🌃🌩️🌒🕙pm

✨⭐️🌛Love listening to you, such a soothing, relaxing voice 😊

Have a good trip! Enjoyed the WIP and chat while I washed dishes. 🌛

Fun wip and chat as always Katie! I hope you have a great long weekend with your family! And I hope Connor gets to enjoy the snow. 🌙 💫

🪐 Hi Katie thank you for the WIP and Chat. I hope your trip went well and you all had fun. X ellie x

I would love ❤️ for the extra long video about every DP you have done. ❤

I'm crossing my fingers for snow! ❄🌨🌟

Be prepared for snow! It’s coming in the next couple of days. I wish you a safe journey. ❤

Yes!!! to seeing all 150 kits. As soon as you said that, I was 😍😍

Thank you for the wip and chat..and beautiful pen 🌜🥰🥰🌟⭐️🌙🌛

I’m so glad you are getting to go see your family. My heart broke for you when you said you didn’t get to go. If I have to pull more than 3 out of my container I’m pouring my drills out lol. ✨

Thank you for the video! It is totally understandable to be a bit off schedule with the videos following a trip. :) Enjoy your vacation Katie!

I love The Greatest Showman...and really anything that includes Hugh Jackman. We saw him when he was in The Music Man on Broadway and it was AMAZING!

Yes, please! I would love to see your rainy day stash!

🌕🌑 I think a trademark event would be dope! Like include Marvel and Snoopy and Telletubbies. We all know everyone is trying to get rid of those suckers so why not give people a reason ya know? Also very excited for you and glad you get to go home! There’s lots of snow in Missouri so hopefully that storm got yall too! Can’t wait for the stash or rainy day or whatever videos you want to grace us with! 🥰

Heia 🤗 I would love to see your "rainy-day" collection 👍 And see all 150 paintings you have done! I hope you have a great trip home, and if you need snow: we have nearly 2 meters, so come and get it😅 Best wishes from Norway 🤗🤗🤗

🌛⭐🪐 I always dump from the container to pick up, even if I only dump one. 😆 Have a fun trip! ✈

I think instead of Marvelous May you should do an event where there is a dragon in the painting. It is the year of the dragon.....but it would also be celebrating you bc we all know how much you love dragons! ☪️

So glad for your trip!! 10 or less and I dipping. 🌖 ❤

Hey Katie! Happy Monday! Just love your WIP and chats. I hope you have a wonderful trip! Safe travels!

Enjoy your weekend back home. I hope Conner gets his snow. We are getting a lot of snow here in Kansas. ❤

🌙 🌟 Great video. Enjoy your weekend in Ohio! Fingers crossed for some snow. ❄️

Loved this WIP as I'm kitting up!! 🌙🌙

🌙⭐️🌔Loving your WIP & chat! They’re my favourite! I single place directly from the container only in the small containers, I’d say up to 10 drills.

I hope your trip is relaxing and enjoyable! And that Connor gets his snow. I don't kit up into containers; I just work out of baggies so I don't pick out of the container. But I will reach in and pick one with my finger and put it on the pen if it's only one. XD Also Yay One Piece! It was originally a manga and the Netflix adaptation is really good if you don't want to get into the 1000 episodes (or 100 volumes... so far!) of the TV series. I like that they Pirates of the Caribbeaned it- the original has a LOT more juvenile humor which can be off-putting to American audiences. No worries about a WIP and chat next week- just enjoy your vacation if you don't want to do it. 🌙

🌙 I have two young boys and we watched One Piece as a family and we all enjoyed it. Also, I’ll pick 1-3 drills out of the container but otherwise I’ll tap a few out into a tray.

🪐i love watching you WIP&chats especially while diamond painting. So far I have only picked out of containers for round and for no more than 10. I started diamond painting a little over a year ago.

I pick up to 8 to 10 out of the jar and have one custom kit I’m was not enjoying very much. I guessed I’m spoiled. I will pull it back out to finish, but I needed a break. I truly hope you and Connor have a great trip. Enjoy!🌟

Marvelous May please

Hi there! I often take drills out of the container! 😂. Especially if you only need a few! Have a happy and safe trip! 😁❤️👍🏻

Good morning!!

This year was the first time I participated in an event and fell in love with it. I am not a marvel fan but please keep talking about others.

Yes, I do pick drills out of the container 😊

I would LOVE to watch a new stash video!! Even if it's 3 hours long lol ❤

I would love to see your Rainy Day stash and what might tempt you to break one out. I know this one you brought out to commemorate your 150th kit. I probably would not do a Marvel kit but would definitely watch! I’m looking forward to your Summer With Masters and D&Cs! I do occasionally fish up to 3 drills out of a container 🌙🌙

🌙 Hi Katie i normally store my drills in small screw top containers I only keep ten to twenty of them in the container if it is a small kit but if it is a larger kit then I would fill the containers half full label the lid and the container and pour out a little bit onto the container if its confetti heavy but if it has a lot of colour blocking then I would pour it onto a large diamond painting tray

Bring warm clothes for the weekend. It is suppose to be a high of 25 with snow flurries. Enjoy your visit. I'd take my Paint Gems.

I wouldn’t mind participating in a Marvel May event. I think I have one in my stash! I’ve always picked from the container if there are about 5 to place. That’s my max. Safe travels! ✨🌝

I'm down for Marvelous May. It would be a new experience but that's what makes it exciting! As for picking out the container, I only do it when there's not many left 🌛✨✨

I did my first snack size on a plane. I used a clipboard that had flip storage to take it with me. That way I could clip it down a bit and had the drills in a multi time per day pill box. If I remember I only needed one but there was space for 2 along with all the other pieces of a kit inside the clipboard. Worked amazing. I just flipped the canvas so the drills were facing the board while it was in my bag. Hope you have a great flight and weekend.🌟🌛

I’m game with Marvelous May. I’m looking forward to the event.

Hi Katie, I would love to watch a video of all your Diamond Paintings that you have completed since you began your KZfaq channel (even if it takes hours), I think it would be really interesting. I never pick out diamonds from the container, I've perfected the art of tapping out the 1, 2 or 3 needed by now. As far as Marvellous May is concerned I'm not interested, but if it still goes ahead I will still watch your Wip 'n' Chats and paint along with my own current painting. I hope you have a great time visiting with your family and I look forward to hearing all about it when you return. Sending good travelling vibes all the way from Australia. Cheers!! 🌠☪🌞🪐✈🤞

I started my first Diamond painting today I'm Addicted now

Hi! I am new to tou! I really enjoyed your WIP and chat and to get to know you better! I look forward to more of your chats and videos! Have a safe trip!

Have fun in Ohio from a fellow Buckeye! Good chance for snow since we haven't had anything notable yet we are definitely due.

✨ I would love seeing your rainy day stash! Also as a watcher of the anime of one piece I am curious on the adaptation of it to live action. I hope you had a great trip to see your family 😊

I’m not a Marvel fan, so I have no thoughts on that one. Probably 5 drills and then I pour into a tray 😅 hope you’re having a great week, Katie! 💫✨💫✨

I do pick from the container if it’s just a few and not a deep container! 🌛

I only pick singles directly out of the container, everything else I dump in my tray😅🌙⭐️

I completely agree about enhancements to diamond paintings. I do diamond painting and cross stitch, primarily because I am not a very creative person and I like to be able to space out a bit while I work. I think enhancements look absolutely gorgeous, but please do not make me have to try and make something look pretty! 😂

Enjoyed

✨🌙 So glad to hear you made space in your week to take a surprise trip. Hoping for snow for Connor and that your travels go smoothly and that Micah does well with his grandparents over the long weekend. We don’t get MLK day off school here in our school district (never have…don’t know why exactly). I would love a video of all of your completed kits. I don’t really typically pick drills directly out of the container unless it’s one or two. (Usually I pick them out with my fingers and flip them over right side up. I can’t get my drill pen to stick to the right side of a drill inside of a container.) I do have a Marvel kit that would be fun to do for May but I hesitate to commit to too many events because they seem like mental pressure and then I become disinterested or overwhelmed. I’m really looking forward to summer with the masters though. ❤

Yes an event in May!!!

🌝⭐️ I will only pick about 4 from the container. I love when the container is full and I just dunk until I get one on the end. It’s kind of a challenge to see how many times I poke in the container until i come out with one! 🤣🤣

👽👽👽👽Hi Katie, good morning from Los Angeles County. I am a DC Comic Fan. Yes, I will take one drill out of the container. You and Conner have a safe trip to Ohio. My Granddad was from Columbus, Ohio.

Marvellous May was so fun last year so I would love to do it again

Katie, thank you so much for your weekly WIP and Chats. I so thoroughly enjoy them. I recently bought DAC's " Moon Goddess " just so I could try one of the enhancement packs from DP with Sparklers. So excited to try it. If I like it, I will probably get the one for Glass Mermaid. It will be so interesting to compare it with the painting you completed..which was absolutely gorgeous.

Enjoy your trip! 💫

I hope you get to visit your favorite pizza place while there! I told my son and his wife who live in Cincinnati how much you love it but they’ve not gotten there yet. Safe & happy travels!! 🌟 🌙

I would definitely be interested in a marvelous May event. I also am very intrigued about the Masters event that you do. As for pulling drills from the container my max is 6. Have a great week and be safe on your travels 🌜✨

Marvelous and Magical May maybe? I’m not SUPER into Marvel so I won’t have a kit, but I do love HP and have plenty to do! And I have longer nails so I usually grab a few from my container and plop them in a tray. My pick-from-a-container accuracy isn’t top notch 😂

I got The Hulk as a free gift from DAC last year when they ran that promotion and I decided to hold onto it in case you did Marvelous May again this year so I would be happy for that event again, however please look after yourself first and if you think doing back to back events may burn you out please don't do it. So long answer short Yes for Mavelous May as long as it won't burn you out

I would love another Marvel event!! The first one was a blast and there are definitely a few kits I wouldn’t mind working on 😅 I do love to pick and place, but my max is probably 3 drills before I give up and pour into a tray. Also agree that doing this with smaller containers/amounts of drills in the container is a factor! ⭐️⭐️

✨Just subscribed. New to Diamond Painting and enjoy your wip and chats.

💜💜💜

🌞 🌙 🌟 I would love to see a video of every diamond painting you have ever done! Length is no object. It can inspire me while I work on my own. When it cames to the Marvel thing, I'm not a big marvel fan so I leave that up to you. If you have a marvel kit to work on why not save it for the Marvel event and do it then? Also, I adore the drills and the colors in your current WIP. So pretty! 😍

I pick out of my container :)

Would love Marvel in May! I did Loki, have Dr. Strange to do and waiting on two other Marvel’s to be delivered

Thank you for the WIP and chat, Katie! I typically kit up into trays (I know, you're not a fan) but, when I used containers I sometimes found myself pouring a couple drills into my hand if I missed a few. I would say 10 or so works. I am currently working on The Tea Party By Ivy Dolamore and using an enhancement kit from Teemaw. I am the same as you, not a person who can add enhancements myself. I've only got a couple of rows done and I've decided, if it's a complete swap, it works. Meaning replace all of #1 with *this*. Otherwise I forget I am supposed to add something to a certain spot. I'm very interested in seeing how you like it! Hope you have a great trip home this weekend!💫🌠🌟⭐️

I would take a Paint Gem kids for the plane and while there. I have a hard time placing directly from the large EW containers so I'll only do one or two from them. From the tiny containers probably 8-10 is my max. 🌠

❤❤❤

5 to 10 drills I would take from containers, more if there’s only few left. I have been using a drawersystem, that was very easy to just pick drills from the container, but after doing that for 2 years, my shoulder got bad, so now I’m back on the containers 😅 🌙🌛💫

I agree--it depends on the size of the container. I'll pour if it's a big container b/c i'm more likely to spill it and make a big mess. but smaller containers i'll pic out 5-10. i'm lazy about changing my wax, so it can be hard to grab individuals without pouring sometimes too.

Yeah I totally pick out of the tray, usually if it’s under about 5 or so

I kit up into trays. I know that’s not feasible for everyone (cats, kids, etc) but it makes my confetti heavy images go way faster. I’m also one that loves to enhance my paintings, I just finished Seas the Day from Craftibly and turned all the glassware into crystal diamonds and S4S. It’s fun for me to make these paintings my own while still keeping fairly true to the original art. I also did Deity of the Forgotten where I added more random ABs to the moon and did all the rest of it as pixie/fairy dust drills. It definitely takes time and practice to get comfortable with doing enhancements on your own though. I find that images that are fully hand charted are easier to do enhancements, where either fully or partially computer rendered ones are much more complex.

I will have 3 or 4 trays laying around my work area for heavy confetti pieces. I will sit container on the tray to remember which color is which

💫

🌙

Hi Katie. Great WIP n' Chat. I have one DIY Moonshop kit that I got off of a destash. It's a mystery painting from the artist your working on now. I'm excited to see what the image is because this one is so pretty. I love enhancing all my diamond paintings and DP with Sparklers is my go to place 🙂 Enjoy your trip! I hope you have an amazing week.

I highly recommend dp with sparklers enhancement sets! I’ve bought several, and the one I finished was Glass Mermaid and it was amazing! That’s an awesome canvas to begin with, and they definitely have an eye for doing those enhancements.

I also clean my metal multiplacers with the tweezers. I used to use a toothpick but mostly I use the tweezers. As far as enhancements, I dont do it on my own either. I would make a complete mess. I need to have the guidance. As far as Marvelous May, Im in if everyone else is. I have the Wonder Woman 1984 kit that I havent done if that qualifies. I can pick drills from the container if it is 5 or 6. Much more than that I will pour into a tray. 👾🌠🚀

🌟⭐🌜 I very rarely pick up diamond directly from the container and only to place 1 or 2 😅 I didn't participate in Marvelous May as I only started DP in July - but if you decide to host I'll definitely need my nephew to pick out a canvas to buy and make for him 🌛⭐🌟

27:00 Yes please! I also have rainy day kits I got the idea from you.those kits make me happy and I would love to see your rainy day kit collection, Katie ❤

💫 💛

⭐️✨💫🌟great wip and chat. I am wearing Lula Roes at this very minute. I didn’t realize there was anything sinister about that company. I’ll have to google it and if it’s heinous, I will throw these leggings away. I pick and place ALL the time -up to about 5. That’s about my limit. Hope you are enjoying your weekend in Ohio. Oh, and I am not a marvel fan. See you next video. Safe travels. ❤

📲📡 I definitely will pick drills directly out of my EW containers. Rarely, the largest ones, but, often from the smallest. Don't think I have a quantity limit, but 8f the drills are a trash prone color, I will have to use my tray. Usually, I can easily see the entire drill if it is a smaller container, especially if I shake the container a bit.

🌙 I just subscribed to your channel a few days ago and I am so glad I did. I enjoy your videos so much! I am new to diamond art and im on my 3rd canvas and finally found my happy place and enjoy to learn and grow and of course continue to watch your videos. I personally would be open to marvel may since I do love most marvel movies. Have a great trip!

i have a couple spiderman kits i would love to complete for a mervelous may event of some sort 😁

Thanks Katie! Happy New Year! 💫

Katie! Katie! Katie! You may already know, but I just heard that Sara J Maas is in the process of writing a 6th book for the ACoTaR series!!!!!!! 🌔

I just purchased my first ever Diamond Art Club painting! And this is my second ever proper diamond painting :D I went with Jupiter by Roy Trinh. Definitely thinking about getting Saturn by the same artist when I next can. Their artwork is stunning. I'm super excited though :)

Hi Katie! I just finished working on a kit with an enhancement pack and it was so easy! Their suggestions look really good too. If I need a few diamonds I will pick from the container or just dump some on the canvas and skip the tray 😂I ADORE one piece! I was so ready to tear apart the live action (since I've watched the anime some parts multiple times lol and usually live actions suck) but it was so good!! The manga started first back in the late 90s and the anime was picked up after a year or two of publication. ❤🌟

I will count out up to 20 drills

I don’t use enhancements either. I don’t like sparkles and glitter either. I just like a good canvas with a picture I love. Maybe I’m boring. 😊

I wouldn’t mind picking up the Guardians of the Galaxy snack size painting for the event if it happens. I wish I could place straight out of the container but I can never get my pen into them so even if I only need one I have to pour it out 😩. I personally won’t be watching the live action One Piece because I love the anime and I don’t think there’s a way that it could look convincing to me because they are pretty much all only something that can exist in manga and anime formats. The manga is the original format for the series. There’s a lot of episodes and I’m very far behind I want say I’ve seen roughly 200 so far give or take but it’s worth a watch. But if you enjoy it that’s great. I’m glad you’ll be able to go on your trip! 💫🌙

Yes I will pick straight out of the container but only if it's like 10 or less drills I need for that section and I would love to see your rainy day kits also would love to see your past like 2020-2021 kits since I wasn't subscribed then if it's possible 🌝🌛🌚
