welcome to stone magpie for the special jubilee unboxing of this diamond painting
this weekend in the uk we celebrate the queen's platinum jubilee that's an incredible 70 years
on the throne congratulations your majesty so you may well wonder what diamond painting
i would choose for this special event well there's a clue here that you can already see
let's have a closer look at the whole diamond painting i'm trying not to give too much away
as i take the diamond painting out of its packet but i can say that it is from
get rid of pencils packet and the flag and open this out to have a closer look
well it had to be classic british paddington hello paddington and he's waving his flag
just like i did so this diamond painting as i said came from fonsel's and it has got 24 colours in
this one a lot of background colour as you can already see but look at the character himself
with his beautiful raincoat it's like a duffel coat and his hat where he keeps his marmalade
sandwiches and he's flying the flag which is probably kept in his case most of the time
let's have a look at the converse so you probably can see that this is a really clear canvas
even in the busiest parts of it it's easily readable
all of the symbols are capital letters which makes for really easy sorting when you're doing your
kitting up especially if you use the tic tac boxes and then you can sort them into alphabetical order
so i'll peel back the protective cover and we can have a closer look at the picture
oh he's so cute
there we are so as i said lot of the background and then you probably can see near the trolley
there are like checkerboarded js and eyes and then into the bear himself
yes i was on a bear theme when i brought from pencils this last time if you saw
my last unboxing which was also a bear if not catch it i'll pop it in the eye
but i wanted to save this bear for the jubilee special and i'm sure you can tell why
this is a 30 by 40 canvas but of course i will measure it i think it'll be smaller
so yes quite a bit smaller we've got about just less than centimeters by
35 it does come with a basic tool kit green tray diamond pen pink wax and
the round diamonds each in their individual packets oh that's the background color number 24
which is sort of an off white color
and have a little look at the colors as you can imagine we've got reds and blues with
his duffel coat and his hat some pinks and grays oh look that must be his hat
blues union jack of course with the blues the reds and the whites
so a very quick look at the diamonds there and then this background a lot of cream
now the story of paddington paddington was originally brought out as a book series there
were nine in the series of books written by michael bond and the first one was published
in the uk on the 13th of october 1958. that book was called a bear called paddington
and he was at paddington station when the browns family found him with a little note
saying please look after this bear thank you so they took him home from the railway with a little
bit of a sticky adventure with cream buns on the way and they took him home to 32 windsor gardens
so that's a little bit about paddington himself and i hope that you agree that it's a really
lovely picture i think this is him at the railway station probably in paddington station
waving his flag to the queen and saying hello as he heads off with the brown family
well it's not only paddington that can have a sticky cream cake end come on it's got to be
done i hope you enjoy your jubilee celebrations if you're having won any street parties and
festivities and i hope that you enjoy some time to diamond paint i'll see you next time cheers
