- Come review Rainbow Dragon by artist Mikey Bergman! This canvas was purchased from Dreamer designs in December of 2023! I started this canvas 1/28/24 and finished on 3/7/24. This canvas measures 60 x 90 cm! This was Massive and filled with AB drills! The artwork is stunning and the rendering is so beautiful!! Let's hear my thoughts on the pros and cons of Dreamer designs square drill canvas!
Love those books as well - this is why I also picked up this canvas
If you gently blow into the drill bag before pouring out the drills it really cuts down on the static. Sometimes I do it 2 times- the humidity from your breath really helps.
I have learned this little trick since kitting this one up!! Definitely helps! Thank you! 😁
Magnificent piece and Daisy was a superstar... What adorable cats ❤️
haha awww thank you!! Love my kitties!!
Woooow that's gorgeous!! He turned out insanely well😍
thank you! can't wait to frame it and have it hanging!!
Gorgeous and Spectacular! Love it! ❤️ ❤❤ Thanks for the review.
thank you for watching!
New subbie. Identical experience. Bought 2 like you did. Am planning on destashing the second kit because life is too short to be miserable while diamond painting. My painting experience has been utterly frustrating. Btw I emailed them about an unrelated issue and they were 100% unhelpful. Blew me right off. TBH I don’t know how they stay in business. We only have so much money to spend on paintings-why would we give it to them? And when I say ‘give it to’ I mean ‘waste it on.’ Thank you for your honesty. I was even thinking about starting a TH-cam channel just so I could bash them in a post review 😂But decided they aren’t worth that either. Bravo on the great video and on completing this kit! 🎉
I'm sorry your experience was similar! I just hate to destash...but I may do the same! I'm not sure I have it in me to do another square either! I also made this youtube as a place to share honest reviews
Gorgeous work! Thank you so much for this review! I've had my eye on this art piece but never tried Dreamer Designs and had heard some not great things. I really appreciated your pros and cons and really great to see a finished DD piece!
I have 3 more DD! One other square and 2 rounds so I'm interested to see how they are :)
I’ve wanted this one for a long time, the confetti puts it off for me. Stunning absolutely stunning
it was pretty heavy on the confetti in the dragon but lots of color blocking for the background
Hi Tessa! New subbie here! I have had the exact same issues as you with square canvases from Dreamer Designs. I got so discouraged that I set one of mine aside for a while. Its so disappointing that the drills are too small or the drill field needs to be tighter with their squares. I certainly commend you for finishing! Apparently, Dreamer Designs knows about this but folks are complaining that they aren’t doing anything to fix it. Don’t know. However, your dragon is amazing! The colors are fabulous and the sparkle 💖!! Maybe that pattern in the lower right corner is a magical sigil! Thank you so much for your super thorough review! I look forward to more videos! Donna. 💜🐶💎🖼️💖
thank so much for your comment and for watching! I appreciate your support so much
Brilliant review. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. 💜
thanks for watching!! appreciate you :)
I loved your review and how you showed all the little things and close ups, and the cats are so sweet😍
aww thank you so much! I appreciate your support :) and thank you for watching!!
I have to have one! So lovely!!!
Beautiful
thank you!!
Looks amazing!
thank you!
Wow ❤
thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the pro/con list. I would LOVE to do this canvas, but I haven't done a canvas with squares yet and I think the problems you outlined would frustrate me. I may try one of their kits with round diamonds. I'm close to finishing my current project, so I'm looking for my next one. Thanks for the detailed video!
Ty love the image
thanks so much for watching!

Love this piece!! It’s in my stash and I want to do it at the perfect time! I’ve done a Dreamer square & learned I can’t multi place due to gapping. I’m working on another piece from them & decided to single place and there’s a huge difference! No gapping, but it’s a much slower pace. Maybe try that with a smaller one to see if that makes a difference for you. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful job!
maybe I'll try that in the furture!! thanks for watching!!
Hi Tessa. Wow beautiful. Very sparkly. Likes like it might be swirly mist. Love it. New subbie here. Tfs 💞💙🧡❤️
thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I appreciate the support! Maybe it is a mist! I couldn't really tell!
@@DiamondPaintingwithTessa have a great evening my friend
i thought the gaps were just me. makes me want to de kit my dreamer design
The pattern at the right bottom corner looks like waves to me. In Chinese culture, dragons are the gods in charge of precipitation, and they live in ocean. 😊
oh!!!! well that makes sense!! I love that :) thanks for sharing!
Is the lower right thing an A.I. artifact mayhaps?
Wow that is stunning! ❤
Have you thought about multiple wips? That way you won’t get burnt out.
I was working on witch bedroom during this one which was a nice break. but towards the end I just wanted to get this one done lol
I wonder if this kit was released before they made all the upgrades.
I'm not sure? I ordered it in December of 2023 but I dont know how old of a kit it was!
I’m having the same problem with the cookies and cream dragets from Diamond art club I wonder if it’s because it was one of the canvases in my case I really want it this dragon but now I’m hesitant
the dragon turns out beautiful when done. I'd just go into it knowing you may not get that perfect satisfying placement
I had to comment, as my experience was different. I just finished Garden Wolf by DD and it is square and was great. I had some trash, but not any more than any other kit, including DAC. the gapping was not out of control, maybe a tiny bit, but the drills still snapped into place, so very little marginal gapping. I have done numerous DD paintings, and I honestly don’t understand the negative. Perhaps your particular painting had these issues, but mine have been fine💁 And I like DD, their drills are fabulous and very shiny. Trash is with all diamond paintings, if you didn’t run out, then what is the problem 🤔
I'm not saying it's necessarily a problem persay..it just made it not an enjoyable experience for me personally. I may have gotten an older kit. I have hears they updated them recently. As I said in the review the artwork is gorgeous and the rendering Is fantastic! I think it still turned out beautifully and I will still frame it and display it. overall I'm happy with the turn out just bot the experience. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! I appreciate your support and I'm very happy your experience was more pleasant! I have 3 more DD kits and am excited to do them.
Is this a newer dreamer designs or older?
I ordered it in December of 2023. so I would think newer? but I don't know how recently they updated their canvases.
It has been a year since they made the upgrades, but it was not done to the kits before they made changes. So this could have been released before the changes and you just happend to buy it in December
Oh my gosh, I appreciate your honesty. I am currently awaiting this one in the mail any day now and I’m very, very nervous. I’m hoping that mine is with the new upgrades, but I won’t know until I get it. I can also return it before I open it. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it when it arrives.🤔
I’m doing one of the DD kits w squares right now. I’m not thrilled with the size of drills vs drill field. Masssive gaps :(
It's STUNNING!!
thanks so much!
Thing is big enough to put on a front door 😂. Beautiful. Those gaps just suck, tho
Thank you for sharing! So excited to see this kit finished! It's in my stash and near the top of my list on kits to complete ASAP. I am currently working on my first Dreamer Designs kit, one called Unicorn Forest and I've had many of the same issues and experiences you had. It has 74 colors and took 5-6 hours to kit up. The static was terrible. I've been feeling a bit of burn out on this one but not too bad. I knew the artwork would have a lot of confetti but I think overall they did a good job of including an equal amount of color blocking to confetti. There has been a fair bit of trash but so far it's comparable to the last DAC kit I worked on in terms of trash drills. The Resin of Dreamer Designs drills also doesn't seem as high quality as DAC's but they're still absolutely gorgeous drills. DAC's resin often has a more glassy look on the matte ones while DD's is more plastic-y. DD's drills don't scratch easily if my metal placer slides off of them or something the way DAC drills do so that was a point in their favor. But I definitely agree these don't fit together the way DAC squares do. DAC squares are like diamond painting with legos. These aren't bad compared to kits I've done off of Amazon and such, but they aren't as satisfying. The worst thing about the kit has been the gapping. As you mentioned in your video, it really feels like the drill field was printed just a bit larger than it needs to be. Try as I may, I still get gaps between rows on occasion and I haven't really found an effective way to correct it. I know the drills need space so they don't push each other off the canvas but it's pretty substantial and I'm hoping it doesn't hurt the final product too badly. The second worst thing for me has been the reuse of symbols. I have one in the Unicorn Forest kit I'm currently working on... I think it's J or S. It's a letter used twice. Which wouldn't be so terrible but they used it twice on very similar colors. The only way to tell which I'm meant to use is the color of the square around the symbol and one is dark gray and the other is dark gray with a slightly greenish hue to it. If they're going to reuse symbols they should reuse them on completely different colors so there's no way to confuse them.
All that out of the way though, the kit is stunning so far. I'm around 1/3 to 1/4 done with it and it uses so many ABs. Normally square drills just have a subtle shimmer but the inclusion of so many ABs lights up the entire kit and since it's a unicorn image, it makes the artwork magical as well as beautiful. I definitely appreciate their generous use of ABs as compared to DAC which typically skimps on them, at least in the kits I've worked on so far. I've adored all of the colors and the way they render the images has just been so perfect.
yes I whole heartedly agree. I appreciate your support and watching the video! I still think even with the gapping the rainbow dragon looks stunning! so I'm sure your unicorn image will be as well when completed!!
I’ve experienced the same static electricity nightmare that you mentioned. I found that rubbing my hands and the receiving tray with a dryer sheet cut down on a significant amount of the static. It’s enough that I think it’s worthwhile to do. Also, I’ve read that you can stick the unopened drill bags into the freezer for a while and it will take care of the problem. By the description it sounds like they have to at least start to freeze. I will try this next time. Thanks for the review. I was considering that exact kit.
what DD have you purchased or done? I have 3 more left in my stash:)
that's gorgeous!
thank you!!
Thank you for your review. I have this kit...and have heard the same pros and cons in other reviews. So its good reinforcement. I do love all the AB'S kand sparkle. I'm figuring that I will never choose to do this one, as all my other kits are DAC. Loving Daisy's visit!
I want Rainbow Dragon so bad
so beautiful!!!!thanks for sharing😊
thank you for watching! This one took me so long and turned out beautifully!
Nice
That is amazing from a viewing distance
I agree! I plan to frame it and hang with my bookshelves! I'm sure it'll look stunning! I'm ok with small imperfections up close!
One of those moments when I am glad you did it so I didn’t have to. I have been contemplating purchasing it, but now know I don’t want it. Thank you
you're welcome! I think the final product turned out gorgeous from a distance. but the process was not enjoyable for me.
@@DiamondPaintingwithTessa this is how I felt when I completed a nativity scene last year. It was excruciating for me, but once done it came to life!
@@DiamondPaintingwithTessa and yes, the finished dragon is absolutely stunning!
Beautiful work 😊
thank you!
