Maybe no-one besides my handful of DW mutuals will fill this out but let's try having a friending meme like in the good old days.

Comment with this form filled out, read other people's comments, chat, and friend each other :D

interests: genshin impact, lesbian feminism, radical feminism
hobbies: scrapbooking (!!!), pressing flowers, reading (usually grocery store romances), diamond painting, blogging,

what type of posts can we expect from you?
my dreamwidth is usually me either telling you about my day, showing off something i made, or getting all introspective about things that have happened to me. twitter is mostly genshinposting and no nuance takes, and pinterest is where i go to cope with the human condition make moodboards about whatever's been occupying my mind.
pls comment under this post if you have similar interests or post similar things as me! i'd love to be mutuals or have a chat with you!!

All the old scrapbooking communities seem to be dead, but there are others like [community profile] journalsandplanners and [community profile] crafty which might appeal to you.

What is diamond painting?

i just joined [community profile] journalsandplanners , thank you for the suggestion!

diamond painting is sort of like paint by number in the sense that you have a bunch of different colours that you place on top of symbols on a paper to make a picture. instead of paint, you have little plastic "diamonds," and instead of a paintbrush it's a pen-like tool with a little bit of wax on the end to make the diamonds stick to it. you pick up diamonds with the tool and then press them onto the adhesive paper. it looks like this!

i like diamond painting because it's something you can do with your hands while on the phone. i tend to do it during really dull zoom meetings if i can keep my camera off.. since meetings have been mostly in-person lately i've been diamond painting a lot less but i'm still slowly making my way through my current project for the sake of finishing it. i like to put them up on my walls when i'm done to show them off! they sparkle very beautifully under my led lights.

I'm happy I could turn you on to something new.

Thank you for sharing. They're very pretty. I hadn't seen this before, although I have seen many other grid-based crafts. (You could probably use any color-coded grid, as for beadwork or cross-stitch.) The closest I've seen is the rhinestones either ironed on or punch-fastened to fabric for making pictures.

I'll have to watch for this on your blog.
