Nurkul 2 Pack Framed Paintings 5D DIY Diamond Painting Full Drill Paint with Diamonds for Home Wall Decor by Number Kits, Sea Turtle and Starfish Seashell (12X16inch)

I was very disappointed in this kit. This is a two pack - I'm speaking specifically about the sea turtle design.The first issue came when I realized the bags of beads were labeled with the bead color, not according to the chart number. No big deal - I just went through and matched the number and wrote the chart number on the bag. Except I realized that there were two bags with the same color number printed on the outside but each held a different color of bead (pic). No worries, I just picked the color I liked better. Moving on...I started working the design and realized that the picture on the canvas is not the exact same as the product photo. It's the same scene but the canvas is a cropped version. Shrug, these things happen. It'll still look great, right?As I got into it, I find that some poor choices had been made for the symbols representing the various colors on the canvas. I found that, in at least three cases, the symbols chosen for multiple shades of a certain color (that usually appear intermingled together on the canvas) were very similar in shape - A/4, T/7, J/U. It could be hard to discern between them since the printing on the canvas wasn't that great, either. But I dug out my magnifying glass, joked about the design being "done by a sadist" and soldiered on.After working on it for a few days and getting it about 1/3 done I realized with a bit of dismay that it didn't look very good. At all. The picture was vague and muddy (see pic)- a far cry from the product picture. You could certainly see the suggestion of sea turtles frolicking in the ocean and then suggestion of a shoreline with palm trees and birds flying above but, IMO, that's all it provided - suggestions of the scene. I'm not certain someone who didn't know what they were looking at would be able to discern the scene.I'm relatively new to diamond painting and so I didn't realize that much of the detail in the beautiful scene shown in the product pic would be lost when the design was reduced to a 9 beads per inch resolution. Live and learn. Now I know to look for simpler, far less detailed designs in the kits I choose.I hope you can learn from my mistakes and save yourself from wasting your time, energy, and money on kits like this that don't adapt well to this art medium.

This one is not very clear when it's completed. Also the color code list is terrible. So many symbols are the same color and very similar to each other. 9 & 14 are good examples. They were right next to each other on the canvas as well and very hard to tell the difference. I haven't even done the second canvas and at this point I don't believe I will. I do this for enjoyment and this one was very frustrating to say the least.

This is a very quality product the beads are in great shape the canvas is very sticky so it holds the beads well and there is no creases in the canvas I am very pleased with this product.>> Hi will the seller please contact me via email? I am short on one colors drills. More info in email reply. Thank you Onest!flowerchildme@hotmail.com...Patty

Perfect weekend project. It’s small enough to finish in a few days, but the images were still very clear when I was finished. Overall, I loved working on these! Comes with more drills than you need so no need to worry about running out.

Not as sparkly as some of them, but the glue is fantastic. However they didn't give me enough gems. They gave me extra packages of ones I didn't need more of and I actually ran out of one of the colors completely and had to improvise with a different one. There were a few times I literally had the exact mount. It's beautiful and sticks great so no worries about it falling apart. I would still recommend this product

I love doing these diamond paintings! This is my 5th painting but first from this company. Great size, plenty of materials, perfect images... The canvas lacks the adhesion that all the others have had. I have to start each session by moving shifted pieces back to their position. Other than that it's great!!

The finished picture did not look like the image advertised.... the colors were way off. Very disappointed. The seashell one was horrible you can’t even tell they are seashells...the beads did not match the codes on the side of the picture and you can’t even tell turtles are turtles.

The turtle came out very pixelated, definitely need to be a bigger size for that one. I haven’t completed the ocean scene one yet.
