Since I’ve already written and edited three other posts today, and because I’m grumpy from this stupid paint-by-number, here are my thoughts as they occur to me:
I’m starting to hate this thing! I bought it as a relaxing pastime, but it’s anything but. And based on the way my head is feeling right now, I must have been gritting my teeth. I hate picky shit like this, so what was I thinking when I bought it?!
I’ve spent hours on this with little progress. I honestly don’t know how far I’m going to get before I throw in the towel.
Also, I’m questioning some of the choices of the original artist. I thought I was making mistakes, but looking at the original, nope. But that’s the least of my worries.
The paint sucks too, but I would have been surprised if it hadn’t sucked since I only paid thirty bucks for this kit.
If I keep going, I will definitely need to invest in a magnifying glass. There are details that are too small for the naked eye, especially the numbers.
Also, WTF is with that one huge leaf on the bottom of the left? Maybe it’s trying to wave me back to safety:
