RoboRodent posted:Facebook is intent on throwing me every jewel painting ad imaginable but the thought of all those tiny jewels makes me anxious. I would definitely drop them and I'd be finding tiny rhinestones on the floor forever. Fortunately, they are plastic. Unfortunately, you'll never be able to walk barefoot in your house again without finding one.

I almost smug-posted "ugh just google it" but googled it first and I am equally confused. Some sort of paint-by-numbers glitter-art-for-grownups bullshit?

Yep. You use a little tool to place individual shiny plastic bits on top of a bit of artwork. Mom's working through Van Gogh right now.

I still don't really understand because google is only showing me like, mandalas and people painting literal rocks or pictures of gems. Is it just like lovely mosaic or something??

I think it's like latchhook but with little plastic jewels or something? I always am shown those jewel painting results when I'm looking for cross stitch patterns/ideas. Edit: yeah, what Suspect Bucket said.

Search ali express for "5d diamond jewel painting" or similar The listings are all in broken english but they have a lot of great images so you can get the idea.

It's like a cross stitch pattern, but instead of a stitch each space is a glued on bit of plastic or rhinestone.    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...2803991797.html See, simple! And so classy!

I understand it now, thank you and sorry I was so bewildered, I literally could not find it on google. Looks like fiddly bullshit imo I'll stick with cross stitch if I want to craft and aggravate my carpal tunnel.

I love embroidery and knitting and weaving (so I'm into obsessive, repetitive crafts, is what I'm saying) and I cannot imagine dealing with plastic bead jewels like that. That's so many tiny fiddly objects. It takes all sorts, I suppose!

The effort-to-result ratio is just bad. When I first heard of it, I was imagining something like faceted stained glass, which actually would look decent in the right kind of home (Victorian / Queen Anne). This just looks like a chintzy poster you'd get at a mall kiosk, only super labor intensive.

I'm also considering the feasibility of a craft supply swap meet. Other people must have this problem, where they move on to other crafts and have a ton of old supplies left over. Why not swap?

There are at least two leftover/unfinished craft supply stores in Kansas City. I've been to the sewing specific one (Fabric Recycles, where you can buy partially pieced quilts OR bring them in for cash/store credit) but not the more general supply one (Scraps KC). In fact I am currently lounging under a blanket knit from a ton of second hand yarn from Fabric Recycles and the thrift store, plus all the odds and ends I accumulated over 10 years of knitting.

Yeah we saw that one. But not this 1970s Michigan time capsule!     yes that is mushroom wallpaper     The best bathroom        It's like a weird mixture of Tudor, Victorian, and mid-century design that makes no sense yet works somehow. Whoever buys this had better keep the wallpaper.

Ow. Don't stumble in the bathroom and accidentally brush your bare skin against that wall. This house reminds me that as a kid in the 70s you had to be real careful with your balloons. Especially helium balloons. A couple times I came home from the circus or whatever with a helium balloon I'd managed to not lose all day outdoors, only to have it pop when it touched the apartment ceiling.  #Just70sThings
