Show me your paint by numbers

I was reading another thread and lots of posters mentioned they do paint by numbers as a hobby.
If you do them and have any pictures of how they turned out, I'd love to see them!! 😍

I used to get these as gifts when I was a kid. Haven't seen them for ages. Loved doing them and quite fancy doing one now!

Just commenting as I am also toying with starting this, but I haven't yet seen any kits that have interesting pictures. I don't want dogs, cats, horses, crinoline ladies or twee flowers.

Hoping for a bit of inspiration.

This is a Schipper one I did a while ago

Sorry, I meant to 'love' your painting and hit 'support!'

Oh my! At last a niche thread that I can relate to.

It just so happens that DD17 and me bought a couple of PBN sets a few weeks ago. Attached pics are hers so far. Seems like a decent company and lovely products, but be warned, they bombard you with email offers (I mean, if you’ve just bought a kit realistically you won’t need another one a few days later). The two we chose are very, very detailed as you can see. I now have a lighted magnifying glass on my Christmas list!

Lots of kits that yes are twee imo but also some nice stuff too if you seek it out.

@Haleywaley that's lovely! Still a bit "mainstream" for me, but not a dog/horse/kitten in sight.

I've got one of my (live) dog and one of my beloved (dead) cat. I love paint by numbers... they are very therapeutic!
