Features of the technology
Basis. That is the main detail of the picture, because with help of it you can gather and fix the mosaic. There is a scheme on the basis, which is clear both for adults and for children. The scheme is divided into many colorful sectors which include notation keys. The mosaic need to be applied in accordance with these notation keys. Their transcript is in the instruction.
The basis is covered by special glue which is covered by a protective film. Glue is getting dry very quick so the film needs to be removed immediately, but gradually. Not to be confused we recommend remaining in one zone until finishing it and then move to another one. In case if the fixator dries you can cover the top of the basis with a usual adhesive for plastic.
Which is the first step?
It’s easy! You need to place the basis on a solid horizontal surface such as a table or floor. Then gradually fill the canvas with the stones offered. It is better to put stones into a container and take them out with the tweezers one by one.
All mosaic’s details have clear edges, that is why the readymade picture is being called diamond embroidery. And even though the details are made of plastic you can see the picture sparkling under the sun as if it was made of diamonds.
