Has anyone tried it? There are some lovely cards and pictures that can be made.

"Hey everyone, just popped in to say I've been really enjoying diving into some arts and crafts lately. It's a fantastic way to unwind and get creative. Speaking of unwinding, I also find myself losing track of time with a good puzzle game. You know, like one of those Block Blast challenges that really get your brain working. What kind of crafts are you all into these days? Any recommendations for my next project?" blockblastfree.com

You all are seriously overhyping how "relaxing" this hobby is. Let us be entirely realistic here: if you suffer from any kind of back stiffness or joint pain, sitting bent over a dining room table for three hours trying to place microscopic pieces of plastic with a tiny plastic pen is an absolute nightmare. And don't even get me started on the disaster that happens if you accidentally bump the tray and send thousands of static-cling "diamonds" flying all over the carpet—you will be vacuuming up stray sparkles for the next six months! If you really want a peaceful craft that doesn't feel like a factory assembly line, stick to embroidery or basic sketching. Diamond art is essentially just a tedious plastic chore masked as a meditative hobby, and your neck will absolutely pay the price for it.
