So very fun to work on, but it lost a star for needing some significant tweaks on the skin color! (I substituted all the orange undertone skin colors for a softer yellow undertone skin color using 780, 781, 782, 783, 434, 400, and 300. It looks amazing now!) For funzies, I also swapped out the white moon with some AB crystal rhinestones (I used Paradise Shine for white, clear AB and lemon yellow AB for the shadowing, metallic gold and hot pink AB for the outlining.) I also added on a ton of extra AB diamonds while I was at it, especially in her hair. It was a lot of extra work but I’m so happy with it and so proud of how this came out! DAC canvases are always the best, and the glue withstood me placing and replacing and removing diamonds and swapping them out several many times during my new skin color trial and error. I’m so impressed that the diamonds still stuck really well! That’s high quality to me. Very little trash and Sarah Mustafa’s art is always so beautifully rendered. If they ever reissue this painting, I’d love to see the skin tone color altered, but otherwise, I absolutely adore this painting on my wall — it’s so freaking sparkly and I get loads of compliments on it.
