sunshine and sunflowers welcome to stone magpie for this unboxing hi everybody
thank you for joining me today i'm going to open up these two packages and show you what's inside
and the theme as you can see is sunflowers and sunshine which one shall we start with
if you've watched my channel before you'll probably recognize both these packages and
where they are from and it will probably give you an idea of what's inside each one too so
i'm going to start with this one we'll pop that one aside
and you'll see from the label that it is a handmade product and it has come from france
we'll give you a massive clue as i say about where this has come from and what's inside
and i should in here have a thank you card from
say plu ba in france and it is of course my new diamond pen again i was lucky to win on
a facebook drop and thank you nicholas for choosing me to receive this pen i have got
a couple now in my collection from nicholas and this is my recent acquisition for my collection
let's pop it out of its beautiful velvet pouch that you get and again it does have my favorite
multiplacer end to it and we'll have a look i'm hoping that this tablecloth isn't too distracting
and oh my goodness oh my goodness it is even more beautiful
than i thought from the photos look at this and ta-da here is the sunflower
oh and it's encapsulated in this resin pen and at this end here oh look in the middle we've
got this pinky flower some little petals and at this end we've got this beautiful orange flower
is that a marigold i'm not quite sure but it is beautiful and the resin has got the glitter
within it and it's got a lovely weight to it it's a really elegant shape here dips in
wow so each side has a different grip this one dips in here which i like
so it holds really well what's this end like oh this end flares out but again it's got that
dip where you can put your fingers and it feels wider this end than that end they are beautiful
diamond painting pens i'll just measure it with my trusty new little tape measure
so the resin part of the pen itself is about 12 about 12 and a half centimeters and the width
around i would say two two and a half centimeters and then with the
ends in it is 16 centimeters from end to end with the ends
beautiful a really nice weight i'll show you my others from say plu butter to compare so i
now have three i have my original spring blossom pen that i bought and i love we have my new pen
and we have the rainbow pen as well all different shapes and actually all different weights as well
this one being the heaviest this one is the next heaviest and this is the lightest one of them all
so they are my collection and as i said all different shapes
and weights so they are absolutely beautiful diamond painting pens and when i say a facebook
drop if you find say plobo at all on facebook nicholas does i think it's about 16 pens
at a time and on the facebook drop you put which pens you like and then you are randomly drawn out
to receive one and if you're lucky enough you head over to etsy and make the payment
he does actually have an etsy store as well so you could always head over there and have a look
there too so an absolutely beautiful pen again i am thrilled to receive and a nice thank you card
as well so there we are that is our first item in this unboxing next we have this which is from
as you will see amazon and you'll see in a moment why i chose this kit
package
yes you'll see straight away why i chose this kit from amazon
let's crack it open we can see already that we've got 19 colours in this kit
very well stuck down scissors
there we are let's get out the canvas and have a closer look
and here it is the classic picture of sunflowers oh now what drew me to this one is
the circle i there's something about the circle canvases that i'm really drawn to at the moment
and i thought this one had super detail for being a 40 by 40 canvas look at this
now looking at the symbols they are really really clear and easy to read
and i thought for such a small picture that the detail in this one looked really good do you agree
we're going to pull back that cover a bit and take a closer look at it we can as i say see
that there are 19 colors and it is a circle shape canvas so the edges are not diamond painted at all
so let's take a little measure and see it is sold as a 40x40
i don't think it is we'll measure the circumference yeah it is actually a 34
and i'm sure it'll be the same width-wise
there are a couple of creases in so i'm just making sure that the tape measure is nice and
flat yeah 34 34 by 34 for this converse but can you see the detail i think it's really clear
interesting when it's diamond painted whether this is still as clear as what it looks now
a really super little kit a little project let's pull back this
have a closer look without the gloss on it
so this edging is not sticky at all it only gets sticky around the circle area
i think it looks really fab nice little project and it was four pounds 79 when
i purchased it from amazon and as i always say amazon prices can change
and i will put the link in the description box below but do have a little look around
and make sure that you get the best price for this one if you're interested
yep it's nice and sticky
so a super little canvas now you would wonder how to frame this being a circle i'm not quite
sure yet i think for me um i would probably mount it as a circle but it might be quite hard to do
so not sure yet on the framing of this one that is something to consider if you are considering
to get one of these circle diamond paintings but i am i don't know why i'm drawn to it i just um
let's have a look at the diamonds and the tool kit
as expected it is a very basic tool kit with basic pen pink wax and green tray no multi-placers
and the diamonds are round diamonds each one in its own packet
have a quick look at those they do look like very basic diamonds that you would expect
they don't feel um staticky they look quite clean they are round diamonds so we won't have
any problem with squaring off as we sometimes do with squares and the colors are gorgeous of course
being the sunflowers there are lots of oranges browns and a few greens thrown in
so really as expected
wow bright bright bright
so a really cute little sunflower kit to go with the sunflower pen and my sunflower tablecloth
so as i say if you're interested in this diamond painting i will put the link below
and i hope that you've enjoyed seeing this circular canvas and the detail that we
might get from such a small painting thanks for joining me today and i hope to see you next time
in the meantime enjoy your own diamond painting take care everyone bye
