I had a blast doing this one (80x100 in squares w/2 AB), my first JGS kit. Unlike any other kit, I was totally glued to this canvas! It took me 3 months and 2 days to complete, which is what I could spend on much smaller kits up to this point. I loved the confetti and I love the level of detail in the final work. It was so satisfying to see it come together. The contrast between working up the background vs. the subject throughout the whole canvas kept it interesting. I thought the background was a lot of fun to do actually. The quality of the drills, glue and all were great, and all the teals, turquoises, light blues were so nice to work with. I thought the 2 ABs were charted perfectly. They add just a little depth to the buds without really standing out.
Having finished this I think the background at the edges is somehow a little weird (copy/paste-y), and the buds rendered a little differently than I expected, in that there's not much pink in them. I don't know if I compromised that with AB charting (would be fair because the ABs look great) or it was detail that too small to capture (probably this) or what. Overall, I think the final piece looks great. I always liked this artwork and am totally satisfied to have it as a big, detailed, vibrant diamond painting!
I went from this directly to another JGS 80x100 kit w/squares (which is looking great itself!). So yeah, 5 stars!
