Great and best part is washable and smells good. First they are awesome. I love that they are now washable, before they weren't and it was hard to wash of my kids. The kids love the way they smell and the bright colors. I love that they are sold everywhere and super easy to find. I love how the kids love them and how bright they are when you color with them. I love all the different things you can color with them. They smell so good, I have went through and smelled them all already and for sure have my favorites. I love how long they smell when you use them. The paper smells like it for a long time after you use them you can still smell a hint of it. It is so fun to use.

Ink hurts the paper. I needed tracing paper but was not sure what kind to get so I purchased a couple to test them out, out of all of them this was the least effective.
I could see just fine, but it is SO thin and so porous that as I was tracing the paper actually withered in on itself at all the places I was tracing and touching, like the ink was killing it or something. half way into my project my paper was bowing in on itself and wrinkling up. I have never seen paper do that before, aside from like tissue, Christmas wrapping paper. It is just too thin to try and use, I don't want to go though to trouble of returning it so I've just got to figure out what I can use it for. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Last Long and Work Well. I got these from my older sister and i really must say that these are fantastic pens! i've begun to use them for everything, not just my drawings, which now looks really really good because of them. I've been using them for homework, notes, doodles, you name it! I really like how they come in sizes from the really thick to the really thin 0.1.
the only bad points is that they sometimes are a little faltering if i use them too much for a really long period of time, but that's easily fixed by capping it and swinging it gently so the ink flows towards the tip of the pen, so in a way, that's not really a bad point.
the case is also useful, since it can become a little stand, which i really like. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
A Good Quality Product For Artists or Children. DISCLAIMER: I was given these markers by the manufacturer for the express purpose of reviewing. This review is unbiased and
there have been no incentives given by the manufacturer.
This product is a set of 10 permanent facbric markers called "Inked" by Black Cat sales. Their purpose is to enable you to
create your own designs on shirts, caps, bags, shoes and essentially on any fabric type surface. The markers are non-toxic
and have ASTM and EN71 Approval.
The package the markers come in is well designed and contains all the information needed to ensure the correct use and care
of the markers. I think this is a good feature as it means there are no separate sets of instructions that can get lost.
The package is made of cardboard which I could see getting damaged/torn over time with the continual use of the markers so
it may pay to put the markers in a more solid container once you are fully conversant with their use. Or, simply be careful
when taking them in and out of the package.
The instructions on the back are straight forward and easy to understand which means there is no unnecessary learning
curve. One point that is made clear is the need to allow one colour to dry before using another. This is important for the
lighter colours especially so that the markers don't get adulterated by the darker colours. If you are buying these for
children I would stress that to them to ensure the markers remain in good long-term condition. The ink dries quickly
however which should reduce the "impatience" levels.
The colours are very vibrant and it is easy to see how an artistic person could use these markers to create outstanding
designs. The images on the package are a good indication of what can be acheived. You don't need to press heavily with
these markers at all and their fine tips mean that you can draw very clear and fine lines that don't bleed into the
material. This is a big plus for the more intricate artists. The colours are also fade resistant and the process of ironing
the material after drawing the design helps to create permanence. They also feel good when drawing on the fabric and don't
"grab" the fabric causing any wavy or dotted lines.
Overall, if you are a designer/artist then you would get a lot of use out of these markers however I think they would be
equally at home in any child's toybox. In fact. you'll probably need to buy a few single colour shirts and caps otherwise
the children may raid your wardrobe. These markers look good, feel good and above all, do exactly what is advertised of
them. This is a good quality product. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
this is a waste of money. Not even close chalk paint consistency. Not even when used in a 1 to 1 proportion. I tried with Behr Marquee (which is the paint I use in ALL of my other recipes), with Sherwin W, with Royal Ace, with B Moore. nada.
This "chalk paint mix" doesn't even give you the results you get with pure Plaster of Paris, which costs 1/10 of the price.
Sorry guys, this is a waste of money.
Buy Calcium carbonate for about 20 bucks for 10 lbs and you will get a PERFECT chalk paint mix - 1 part c carbonate to 2 parts paint. no water required. I normally mix 1 cup of c carbonate to 2 cups of paint (half of the quart can) and can paint 2 very intricate dressers and have left over - mix half of the powder, stir well (i use a $10 dollar hand mixer) and then add the rest. Store it in a mason jar and it will keep for months. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
This is an absolutely awesome sketchbook. I'll never use another kind now that . This is an absolutely awesome sketchbook. I'll never use another kind now that I've found this one.
One of the reviews here mentions the book "falling apart" and what she describes is what happens when you pull the first two pages apart. The inner fly leaf and first watercolor page is what I'm referring to. Don't make the mistake of believing the glue was accidentally put there and that it needs to be pulled apart. That's what causes the book to fall apart. It's necessary to leave that the way it is and don't pull it apart. The same thing is seen in the back of the book----but DON'T pull that apart. It's part of the binding process and is there for a reason.
But back to the sketchbook---the paper quality is wonderful and doesn't bleed through at all, nor warp the paper, no matter how much water you use. I use watercolor in mine.
If you're looking for a really excellent sketchbook, this is the one. Look no further. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Love these pencils. This is one of the best set of colored pencils I have used. I have tried several different types and brands, since I have taken up coloring as a hobby. This set has a very nice selection of colors. When you start using them you can tell that they are good quality. They go on the picture very smoothly and have great pigmentation. I haven't had these long enough to finish a complete picture yet (they take me quite a while to complete) but I will post one when I am done so you can see the finished product. I prefer colored pencils, they are better than pens in my opinion. They are much easier to control, especially in the really small spots. Plus, they don't bleed out of the lines and you can erase if you need to.
It's great to have these in the tin, it makes it easier to take with you if you want to take your coloring books out with you, and it keeps them neat and tidy.
*I received this product free or at a reduced rate to evaluate and give my honest and unbiased opinion. I don't guarantee a positive review. I personally try the items and give my best evaluation. No other compensation was received. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
They are Albrecht Durer - what's NOT to love??!!??!! (Though maybe the review will help explain why. They are Albrecht Durer - what's NOT to love?? Having owned several brands of watercolor pencils, I can say I don't even touch them since I received these. Why?
1. The pencils blend very well, especially on watercolor paper.
2. Control of of color result when blending is virtually flawless:
a) no irregular pigmentation;
b) no need to scrub work area to avoid watermarks;
c) no product / color bloom when layering for effect (unless applying too much pressure and damaging tooth of paper) and;
c) for smaller work areas, I even prefer them over tube / cake watercolor.
3. The pencils can be sharpened from beginning to end WITHOUT ANY LEAD BREAKAGE at all.
4. Nice tin keeps everything ordered and makes for nice storage when working other art projects.
5. Hexagonal shape prevents rolling when setting them aside for later use on your work. Especially helpful if your work area also includes brush holder, water glasses / jars, watercolor palette, painting cloths and such with each project.
7. Superb for dry-on-wet highlighting and detailing on watercolor work.
8. Every color is also available for purchase as an individual pencil should any need to be replaced.
I'm sure there are a lot more reasons why I'll love these as I use them but I've shared the most noticeable thus far. As for whether or not the purchase is right for you, some other things to keep in mind:
1. These are professional artists' quality watercolor pencils and the price reflects that.
2. Though they may be used on adult coloring books, there are many types and brands of pencils more suited for the pages. However, if the objective is to activate the color for a watercolor look, these are a great choice. I use them in my coloring book so I may practice watercolor techniques. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Best way to get the most distress for less. If you're not sure what colors you like most in Tim Holtz's Distress Ink line (I personally would buy them all -- in the large size -- if I could afford to do so!) then this is the best bet for your buck! I have large and small versions of two of these colors, but I wasn't so sure about the Antique Linen and Walnut Stain shades so I purchased the small four-pack size. I've only been using these ink pads for a couple of weeks so I can't comment on how long they last, BUT, I can tell you that they're worth purchasing through Amazon if you're a Prime member (2-day free shipping -- can't beat it!). Highly recommended! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Wish it would work. I don't know if I have a dud or if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get this thing to cut. I have a sheet of a design which I've repeated to create stencils, and have been trying to cut on Silhouette's brand of stencil material (not great since the vinyl doesn't lay flat on its backing after being on a roll). Every time I try cutting, only a few of the stencils or cut, or sometimes just parts of them and they seem to be scattered randomly around the paper. There are also some diagonal slashes cut in random places which are not part of my design at all. It doesn't seem to be a problem with blade depth, so I'm baffled. I find the documentation minimal, both in terms of basic instructions and also more advanced issues like calibration, working with your own images, what to do if something's not working. Right now I have a call in to customer service. After spending 10 min on the phone, it said all the reps were busy, to leave a phone #, and they'll get back to me in 48 hours. For me, this is a business, not just a hobby, and this is just unacceptable! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Screw on connector or not. The Paasche HS-SET is the same airbrush set as the Paasche H but with screw on connector,so when you choose either version your question will be whether you want the more time consuming tightening down or not. As far as the airbrush itself goes it's one of the best and simple airbrushes to use on market. Believe me when I say this starting with an airbrush that's too much sophistication for your task at hand is not the way to go. I can say from experience that using either single action airbrushes has been easier on my nerves than using a double action airbrush,just mix the paint turn the nozzle and push the button down. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Love my Koi kit. My husband gave me this as a gift and I LOVE it! I can take it outside for quick sketches or spend time making a detailed painting. As a young person, I was always drawing and painting but had gotten away from it in the last 40 years, spending more time singing and taking photographs. This kit renewed my creative spirit and I have since purchased more traditional watercolor materials but still use this kit for outdoors. It was a gift so price doesn't come into it but if I were looking to purchase a gift for a creative friend or someone who needs a hobby, it is certainly the perfect price. And excellent quality and color choices. Don't pass this by! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Not a great option for me. I really wanted these stencils to be the perfect solution for etching some wine glasses for Christmas presents but they weren't so great for my purposes. First, it wasn't clear to me on the instructions so hopefully this will help you out...the actual, delicate stencil is sandwiched between two coatings; the white on the back that you have to remove before adhering it to the glass, and the clear thin plastic overlaying the front that you remove or that sometimes pops off as you are rubbing the wood stick over it. If you haven't realized that it has popped off, you'll scrape the stencil off inadvertently which is why I'm giving this three stars. Three packs may seem like a lot, but when you are using this for a couple multiple syllable names, you quickly run out of options. A good alternative for me was to purchase a sheet of reusable, rubber etch stencils; they are a bit easier to handle, have straight, defined edges, and you can use them over and over again. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
I love this sketchbook. This is my favorite sketchbook and paper - I must have purchased at least 5 of these in the past year. To me, a sketchbook must have a spiral bind so that you can draw without having to bother with other pages and a sturdy backing so that you can draw even if you are not at a desk. This sketchbook meets both those requirements. Another bonus of this sketchbook is that the pages are perforated.
The amount of paper you get for the price is a great deal and it is perfect for sketching out ideas. I mostly use pencil for my sketches, however, I have used the paper for light washes of watercolor, and the paper works well enough with minimal buckling or the water bleeding through to other pages like it does in some of my other sketchbooks. I have also used gouache, ink, and even used it as a practice pad for calligraphy with pilot parallel ink. Although ink is visible on the back of the page, I was really happy that there was almost no feathering of the ink. Of course, I wouldn't recommend it for your next masterpiece - it is a sketchbook after all, but it is perfect for those preliminary or test drawings.
I have this sketchbook in multiple sizes, the 5.5 x 8.5, 9 x 12, and 11 x 14 pad. For me, the 9 x 12 gets the most use when I am at home because it provides ample space but fits comfortably on my lap. The 5.5 x 8.5 is perfect for traveling.
I feel confident that I will continue to purchase this sketchbook and would recommend it. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Works great for many surfaces and wipes clean easily! So fun. These metallic gel pens are really neat. I love using the adult coloring books and am always looking for new and different styles of pens and markers to use in them, which is what I initially ordered these pens for. After having tried them out however I realized that these are way better than just something to color in my books with, they do work well for it and color smoothly but it almost seems like a waste of ink for me. They have unique shades and write on all kinds of materials more than just paper. They can be used as Chalk Markers for glass (car windows, mirrors, wine bottles, labeling dropper bottles, etc) or even on plastic (name tags, creating/decorating picture frames or other collectables, shelves) and if you need to erase or change something it can be wiped away with a wet cloth. I mix a lot of my essential oils to create my own blends and drawing with these markers made some really cool dropper bottles with a little creativity. I did use them on paper when I first got them and colored a page of my coloring book and they colored well. The ink dries quickly and didn't absorb through the paper at all. It does have a nice metallic shine. I'm loving my pens so far, there are a lot of projects that I can think of that these pens will be really fun to use with. Very cool!
I did receive my metallic pens free or at a promotional price for testing and evaluation purposes. I was not paid for my review and was asked only to provide whatever feedback I may have regarding the product. My review is solely based on my experience and honest opinions with these pens. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Never glowed despite numerous attempts. I used this on 2 different types of pots. One was ceramic that already had paint on it. The other was a plastic planter that had a textured feel on the outside. I followed directions and tried the plastic container as my experimental pot. It did not glow. I even painted the inside where it was smooth- nothing. Thinking that I may have not used enough paint, I tried the ceramic pot and put soo many coatings that the pot was light green. It STILL didn't glow at night. I even took it to the other side of the house thinking that the street light may be impacting the results- nothing. I left both of them in full sun for a full week and they never glowed. I don't know how this product glowed for others. Maybe I got a bad batch. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Not for use on lots of stuff. Found this item at local hobby store. Was going to be married in a few months and caterer didn't offer beer and wine glasses so we figured this would make them nice table gifts if we etched them (cause we didn't need 150 beer and wine glasses back lol)
Tried it out on an old glass at home and it seemed to work just fine. Well fast forward to 2 weeks before wedding when we were trying to etch our initials (using the armor etch reusable stencils) on 150 beer and 150 wine glasses. We found this stuff is hit or miss. I would apply to one glass that would turn out perfect, then did the EXACT same procedure for the next glass, and there would be spots missing, or part of the letter wouldn't turn out. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to why it would work on one and then not the other.
So if you are working on just a few items this would work, especially if it is something you can buy 10 of to get the 5-6 that you needed to look just right.
If it wasn't for this fact I probably would have given this item a 5 star as the ones that did turn out great have been through the dishwasher without coming off etc so they seem like they will stand the test of time. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Please Read Before you Pruchase. Hello everybody,
PLEASE READ before you use
I tried to reach out to the company "simply spray" ,but their customer service content page kept crashing.
I went to a local Michaels store here and purchased six different colors of the simply spray fabric paint: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. I also purchase two men's extra tall white 100 % cotton shirts (from a different store). The shirt had to altered before the art work could be done. After the shirts were altered . They were washed and dried without any additives, pre the information on the simply spray bottles.
They were ready for the simply art work nothing crazy. Just a simple rainbow going from red to purple for an event that I was in with another person. Out of the six different color only the red and yellow worked as the bottle described. The orange and blue shot out of the can like silly string spray streamer, sprayed and spatters of paint. The green and purple sprayed and spatters. It was a nightmarish mess. I was so mad and I had no time to start over.
I read the instructions to make sure nothing went wrong and everything went wrong.
The company has not responded to my email I sent Wednesday. So I am hoping this will help others who might be doing something so important in front of thousands of folks to see.
you might check other products.
Oh i paid 5.99 a bottle grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
A Marker Made for Windows. These markers have been used to write on large windows. The "chalkiness" of the marker makes it so that these can be read on clear glass far better than your typical dry-erase marker. The smaller metallic are great for writing in smaller fonts where the big markers make a bold statement over larger areas. Overall, these markers are meeting the needs of my purchase.
The original review was for a product that was perhaps defective. In that review, the markers were difficult to use and quickly dried up. The company reached out to me and has satisfied the original needs of the purchase prompting my update.
Original Review:
I was really looking forward to this. I have huge glass doors that I was going to do some writing on and the green pen made it through about 80% of an 8" G before it refused to do any more work. I put the marker away and gave up on that plan. Unfortunate. I really can't imagine why this product has such a high review. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
A lid would have been nice. This is my first set of stamps. I thought my toddler would like to play with them, and he did. But as I opened this product, a number of flaws of its design stood out for me.
1) It's an open box, with no lid and plenty of space for stamps to roll around. I didn't expect that everything would be so loose in this box, with no way of closing the box or organizing the stamps.
2) A number of stamps are of a size much larger than the size of the ink pads provided. I just don't understand the point of it. Why not provide bigger ink pads? Or smaller stamps?
3) The selection of inks is more girl-oriented. I think the set would do better with an addition of some green and yellow.
It's not all bad. The font and the pictures on the stamps and funky and attractive to kids. Inks wash off easily. But personally, I will look into buying a different set. Melissa and Doug's stamp sets look better organized and thought through. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
paint by number set. Purchased thru Amazon from one of their vendors. Poorly designed; the pattern on back of package doesn't match the canvas pattern matching. It calls for one color of paint that isn't even in my paint set.
I did one part of painting--clouds at top, the color mix doesn't look like the picture on front of the box.
The pot of white paint was only half full, there won't be enough to finish.
I can't find the receipt/shipping invoice to contact vendor and wrote Amazon who told me to contact them. I read other reviews who said same things I did (which I didn't read before purchasing). The designer of this kit is Reeves. The vendor was Doug Frye, Hofcraft, whom I can't contact.
I was very disappointed. I threw the kit away. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Not the crafting must-have Pinterest makes it out to be. I was so excited when I got this for all my amazing crafts...and then I started crafting. It comes with a small handful of basic fonts; papyrus is top 5 fanciest. All those fun fonts, about $5 EACH. I was just making a onsies as a little gift, not worth a $5 font. Graphics, at least those come in packs, but still you get a handful, maybe, of graphics for iron-one.
Ok, so I got over that, made my iron-ons, which was easy. Then I got to iron them on to the onsies I'm making; press hard, high heat, etc...not 100% sticking, so iron some more...wash them...half the letters came off. Didn't fade, literally unstuck. I even washed them inside out. So there goes that gift, cause I don't have time to do it all again. Also tried ironing on letters to one of those canvas bins you get at Homegoods, took forever to get the letters to stick...and even then a moderate rub will likely take them off. I'm assuming that I just need to iron the cotton for godly amounts of time, and should have used vinyl on canvas (?); but still not pleased. I thought this was going to be a lot easier, and that it came with more fonts/graphics...oh boy helvetica | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Very nice set. I ordered this the other day and it arrived today, I was so excited to get it. I love elephants and I love art. Drawing, coloring, anything creative. This case is wonderful!! The outside has elephants all over it and it is well made. The string that is used to close the case is a thick rope, which I love. It is an added detail that makes the case seem just that much better. The pencils inside are awesome!! The range of colors is great! I just finished coloring a picture and they color nicely and evenly. They are great for blending. The elastic piece that holds the pencils in is sewn nicely. There is plenty of room to slide the pencils in and out without any trouble. There is a place for a sharpener to be held. The sharpener is just a small one, but it gets the job done. Overall, I love this whole set!! I did receive this product at a reduced price in exchange for a fair and honest review, but this in no way influenced my review of this product. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Wasted time and effort. I bought this as a replacement airbrush after my previous Master would not work properly after I had to taje it apart to try to get it to work/unclog.
That previous Master Airbrush was recommended to me by a trusted, and extremely talented and experienced, friend of a friend. After the first one bit the dust I figured I must have done something wrong. Instead now that two different designs have crapped out on me I am fairly convinced there is a quality control issue with this company. The price looks right, but you get what you pay for. Now I am two nonfunctional airbrushes in with nothing to show for it except being out almost enough money spent to buy a real airbrush. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Wow. This is quite an amazing machine to me.
Pros:
The instruction manual is pretty easy to follow (and was definitely necessary for me - I would've been lost without it)
It comes with several preloaded designs, patterns and fonts.
You can scan your own pictures and save them to it's memory.
I love the fact that I can use it without having my computer hooked up to it.
It's compact enough to sit on my little rolling cart next to my desk.
It's cut every design I've tried perfectly so far.
Cons:
On the flip side I wish there was an optional cable that would allow computer usage when desired.
It is not exactly quiet so I can't use it when hubby is watching tv in the same room. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Professional Decal Transfer tape. I've been using this stuff for a while now. Around 6 months. Not this particular listing, but I have bought this type of transfer tape from multiple vendors and everything has been consistent with this product. This transfer tape is not too tacky, and does the job. But, be careful! you can't really use this transfer tape to make multi layered vinyl decals. So, for example, you couldn't make a red, white, and blue American flag for a customer if you had wanted to. What I would recommend in a multi layer vinyl decal is the regular cheap transfer tape you can buy from K-mart. Specifically that stuff that you can line the inside of your cabinets with. This product is just too tacky for anything other than a single layer decal. Don't get me wrong, this transfer tape is of the highest quality! This was the first roll of transfer tape I got for making decals as a beginner and it was easy to apply to the vinyl as well as remove when applying the vinyl decal. 6 inches was more than enough to start making decals and get my feet wet. I would not worry about getting a roll with a greater width than this for beginners or simple decal applications. Definitely a decal transfer tape product that I will be buying from again! Another note for you decal makers out there is that be careful of your customers using this transfer tape in the heat. Make sure you leave them a note to not apply to hot surfaces, because the glue on this stuff will begin to not be as good. This is true especially if you are using Oracle 651. Also, don't use this transfer tape if you are making smaller, more DETAILED decals. The vinyl will just stick to the transfer tape and it will be difficult and almost impossible to get an easy release. This can cost you customers if they are not friends and you can help explain why, and fix your mistake. For smaller decal designs I have heard that the regular paper like transfer tape releases easiest though it is not of the highest quality. There you go! Great tape, as long as you are using it for the right JOB!! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Screen/Mesh too tiny and does not work with certain inks. I ended up needing to use the speedball light. So if you aren't using sunlight it takes a lot longer thatn the "7 minutes" as advertised (I lost a tester due to following the directions down to the letter).
Also if you have Very Fine Details, forget it (I made sure that it burned all the way through but it won't let the ink pass through even though I can see the lines and cleaned it very well). The Hi-Def mesh is too tiny to let the ink (especially if you are trying to use highly pigmented inks or metallic inks) go through properly. All it does is make a mess.
I've used pre-made stencils from another supplier at a local art store to great effect and was looking forward to having some with more detail in it. I wish this one had in the description something to let people know more about mesh size and how it interacts with metallic inks, fine lines, and the like. I am super disappointed since our show is this weekend and I won't be able to make the designed I had hoped for. Ah well. Going to try the Standard size to see if it works better. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Very thick ink. I didn't buy the ink from Amazon but I'm using different inks now and thought my review might help someone. I am doing linoleum block printing (Richeson clear linoleum--comes with its own set of challenges) and I sent my husband to the store. I wanted speedball ink but they had this product and Liquitex acrylic ink, so he got both. I am doing a mono print, so I don't know about whether or not it is water proof but I like the versatility of this ink. It is very thick compared to the Liquitex and I had to use water to dilute it because it just kind of "sat" on the linoleum, making a big mess when I tried to print. I'm still experimenting with the right water/ink combo but for this project I liked it more than the liquitex. I may water down paint next because this clear linoleum block isn't giving me a very even coat of anything to print with but I love that I found this new ink as my new go-to india ink. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Crazy . This might sound crazy, but I use these pencils as eyebrow pencils for years, actually I "stole" one from my mother when I was about 19 and it lasted me almost 20 years. I'm a brunette and hate the very strong penciled in eyebrows. This gives me a very natural looking eyebrow and it lasts forever. The graphite is soft and the color looks perfect with my dark hair. Think of it as a soft grey eyeshadow effect.
When my last (and first one) got too small, I tried all kinds of brands and they all either looked too red or they reminded me of eye pencils, leaving dark, strong colored eyebrows or simply the wrong color.
If you have dark hair you should try it. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. Out of the box this kit worked perfectly! For my uses, I spent some extra cash on adding a reservior tank and did some molten metal work to fit in an air system, and the compressor will actually go up to 65 psi stable, with a buffer. While setting my air supply, I also disassembled the compressor head and added regular car motor oil both on top piston and below, to reduce friction and prolong the life of what looks like a designed part failure from china. The cylinder sleeve is made of silicone-impregnated plastic. The air intake goes through a reed valve on top of the piston, and is finally blocked by a cheap rubberized plug in the head manifold.
What I did was convert the unit into a much better compressor-tank-assembly, by splitting apart a very complete kit.
The airbrush alone is finely tuned and works well with hobby shop paints.
What I did was add quality to a really good starter kit that worked fine right out of the box. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
My teenager loved them. These paints are awesome. They come in great colors that blend great. My daughter loves to paint. She was one of 15 eighth graders that got picked to take Art as a Freshman. One of the requirements that they have is to have a set of acrylic paints. I was excited when I got this during a promotion by the seller. She will not be in 9th grade until August so she could not wait to try them.
She was very impressed with the colors and how easy they mixed. She has some in the past that did not mix easily. These were super easy to mix to the exact color she wanted. She used this set to paint a picture that has been entered into the Spring Art Fling at her school. It was accepted for the contest so that is awesome. She said she loved how they glided on the canvas. I am so glad she loved them and could use them for her art project. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Super Doodle Glitter Gel Pens were a good purchase. I paid full price for these pens - no "discounted rate" and I certainly didn't get them for free. Full price and I'm giving them 5 stars.
I have been searching for a particular type of glitter pen that is difficult to find. My pet peeve is a pen that lays down really colorful glitter and then dries to look silver. If I wanted it to look silver, I would have bought a silver glitter pen. These pens have glitter the same color as the ink and I am thrilled with the discovery. Super Doodle Glitter Gel Pens were a good purchase. Love them.
By the way, I'm a doubter when it comes to reviews. If I see that a product has all reviews from people who received discounted or free product, I will move on. I feel, if the reviewer doesn't feel "obligated" to leave a good review, he most likely is influenced by the discount. His opinion would be based on whether he felt the product was a good deal - and if he only paid $2.00 for something that normally costs $25.00, his standards for judging that product would lower, I believe. Not that anyone cares, but that's my story. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Best Water Brush Pen I Have Ever Owned. This is the very first water brush pen I ever owned, and after having bought several other brands that are rated very highly here on Amazon, I have to say this one continues to stand out as my favorite. I love the tip. I used it with watercolors in a coloring book with post card size pages and it could handle the smallest of areas and larger areas perfectly. I have also used it to color in stamped images before I invested in a few quality watercolor brushes, and continue to use it when I am lazy to get out my real watercolor brushesI It is a really nice pen when you want to goof around in a coloring book, with fine detailed areas, or even just to work on creating a color map before you move on to creating something later with your regular brushes. I have used this a lot over several years and it still works perfectly, so it holds up really well over time. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
I tend to like Lori Whitlock designs. I tend to like Lori Whitlock designs. Carta Bella has some nice DSP. It's double sided paper, good paper weight (not cheap 34lb stuff). Nice designs. It's a good pad to have for general DSP. This looks like it was 12x12 pad shrunk down. This was less than $5, so I'm happy with it.
Sometimes manufacturers take a 12x12 pad and shrink it down to 6x6 and call it a card making pad - but you won't be able to use some of the pages for card making - the design is obviously meant for scrapbooking. In addition, I noticed some pages where the design started at the top but 1/2 inch down is the hole (to hang the pad on a peg at the store) right in header of the page - ruining it. The pad is really 6x6.5 inches, but that hole is punched 1/2 inch down so you can use only 6x6 inches of the sheet (but the design of the page starts above that hole).
For making cards, I have started using 6x6 pads only now. The design is sized much smaller so the scale of the pattern fits the size of the card. And the cost is great. If I buy 12x12 pads now, I'm careful to buy patterns that are solid across the whole sheet - I do not want to make cards with a scrapbooking DSP sheet. I can do it, but I would rather have the consistent solid pattern across the whole sheet instead of having to cut the page up in a way to work around the lopsided/huge focal point on a scrapbooking page. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Perfectly fun and cute holiday CLING stamp set. After reading the negative comment on this set I felt compelled to say something. There's nothing wrong with this set. Yes it's a cling stamp and yes you do need to purchase an acrylic block set to use if you don't have one already. That's how all cling stamps work. Period.
I received this set last year as a gift. Since they were holiday stamps I didn't bother using them until now, when I started making my Christmas cards for this season. This set is great! Really. I've used all but one and all give a nice crisp image.
If you don't know anything about stamping, which I don't really, but cling stamps are not intended for one time use. You're able to use these over and over as many times as you want. The cling will never tire. Washing with soap and water will bring them back to life if you find they're no longer sticking like they used to. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Overpriced highlighter set. I bought my set locally and returned them quickly.
These are great if you need something for kids or making yard sale signs / marking boxes. The square barrel is nice since they won't roll but they are very bulky. Again, great for kids or maybe folks who like big markers. It was uncomfortable to hold for more than a minute at a time.
The colors are NOT true to the cap color. The yellow, light orange, and light pink reminded me of highlighter colors, which is great if you want neon/blacklight colors! I however did not. I'm not sure if it was a mistake but the set I got had a light green, medium green and an olive/army green tone of which the light green and the medium green are the same exact color. As well the two darker blues are darn near the same color.
They bleed thru terribly on 140lb/90lb/70lb paper and poster board (might not on thick card stock), they do NOT blend together, using a blending brush separated the pigments (cool if you want a tie-dye effect) and the pigment is about as good as dollar store water based marker mixed with a sharpie. They smell like a sharpie as well. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Talk to the hand takes on a new meaning. This little item right here, I have to be honest and say that I wanted it for display purposes. Inspiration if you will. My niece is an artist and recently she's been hanging out in my office after school. She will stare at an object for a few minutes and interpret a story from the way the object is facing or composed. I am curious to see what she can come up with as I will be leaving it randomly placed in the room for her to find.
This little hand has pose able points. Even the wrist swivels. I was made pretty well, at least mine had no rough or jagged edges. The original look of it is my favorite aspect of it because while you can paint and decorate, I feel the statement it will make in its original standing will be really great! It can be used in crafting, art projects/inspiration, or just to have and express your feelings for the day. Everyone will have a different use for it and I'm just sharing what I will be using mine for. I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review and opinion. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Fun and convenient. These are great - very easy to use and if you dye the eggs in food coloring (red or black or yellow) to match the background of the shrink wrap - you get a gorgeous Easter/Paskha display. No worries if you want to skip this step, it will look great on white eggs, too.
I usually buy brown organic eggs for food, but for these I go with regular white eggs. The brown ones are a fleshtone that doesn't match. If you want a yellowish tone to the base, try boiling the eggs with onion skins instead - will be a closer match to the yellows. And cheap. Who doesn't like cheap?!?
A couple of notes: the set I recieved is slightly different from the one pictured, so be aware that it may not be exactly as pictured. Also, these are made in China, not by the vendor. Attatching images as proof of both points.
Didn't feel this warrants docking any stars - wraps were close enough and who cares where they're made? :) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Happy with my choice, and the kids love it. I compared about a dozen different brands and styles of easel for my kids, 6 & 4. This had the most pros and only one con. I waited until actually assembling and using it to post a review. PROS - easy assembly and quality materials. It has large surfaces and plenty of storage. The paper holder is sturdy and locks in place, the cups seal nicely. It has a chalk board and white board for dry erase makers. CONS - i would have liked the white board side to also be magnetic, it would have made it easier to hold down the paper while painting. now i just tape it in place. Also, they boards are very thin, i'm hoping they can stand up to 3 boys. also it would have been nice to come with brushes and a chalk eraser, but i found them easily. other than that, this is a great buy, had the most features that i was looking for, for the best price. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Not for those who want instantanoeus results; great if you're patient. These sticks are shorter and narrower than the "artists" style -- so, that means for me they were great to experiment with. The color run the gamut of the crayola 8-pack of crayons, with a few others to help blend for new colors. Might be me, but the blending was not as easy as seen on YouTube tutorials. These are HARD sticks (even after peeling off their skins). So, a palette knife (or something similar that bends and holds it hard shape) is an essential -- as are muscles and patience. The colors can be blended. Don't expect it to take just a minute. Once blended though, they work beautifully and depending on what method you use to apply them, they are beautiful and don't detract from the drape of the fabric. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Very smooth and cools quickly. Sunwin ABS 1.75mm Filament 1kg/2.2lb for 3d Printer 3d Pen Plastic Rubber Consumables Material (Black)
I recently got a 3D pen and have been using multi color packs of filament. Not spending too much money on colors yet so that I can get used to the process. I have branched out now and wanted to try a full spool. This way, I can not worry if I have enough material for my project.
Pros:
1.75mm fits my 3D pen
Flows smoothly out of my pen
Cools very quickly
Weighs in at 2.2 lbs of fillament
Cons: None
This filament is very good. My 3D pen that takes 1.75mm filament worked very well with this reel. There is so much filament, I don't have to worry about running out any time soon. The spool was protected with a vacuum seal. There was also a moisture absorbent in the package. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Questionable DVD quality for Joy's Of Painting videos. I enjoy watching & listening to Bob Ross painting shows and have since 1988. He really is a wonderful painter and has a great voice indeed. So I got a few of these DVD's from here so I can continue to watch & listen to Bob Ross on his Joy's of Painting Shows. Problem I have is the DVD sometimes comes up as "BAD DVD" on both of my DVD players, even after cleaning the devices too. So I don't know if the DVD quality is that good. I would have given this product 5 stars, but the "BAD DVD" issue that comes up periodically makes me wonder about the life of these DVDs and I gave it 4 stars instead. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Where are all the instructions. The lack of instructions is unbelievable. I have a Cameo & a Cricut and yet this thing is unlike both of them. The instructions do not give enough information. The accessories, like the larger mat, don't have instructions. I can't even figure out how to clip or fit the large mat. Of course their program that goes with it is useless, I hate their design studio. I use a 3rd party program that is SO much easier & user friendly. I like that it can cut thicker material, but I find it completely annoying to use. I don't like the size either, it should have been made bigger, like the Cameo. I regret asking for this as a present right now, I don't have the time to figure it out. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
I LOVE EIALA! Raffine Colored Pencils are Great. I cannot tell you how excited I am with my new pencil set by Raffine.
The colors are vibrant and rich, and I'm really happy with the variety of colors that came in this 48-piece set. The pencils hold a point, the color goes down easily and with good saturation, and breakage does not seem to be an issue. Bonus: they are also water-soluble! Dipping the tip of your pencil in water enables you to blend the colors smoothly, or to use this property to create a beautifully rich and smooth color.
These pencils do not act like watercolor pencils--you can't really float the color into a wet area; but it is comparable to using Turpenoid to blend PrismaColors. It's nice to just be able to use water for blending and smoothing, rather than an oily substance that will spot your paper.
Overall, I give this product 5 stars. A fantastic product, and at a very, very low price for art pencils. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Great Brushes at Great Price. I have never used long handle paintbrushes before, but I have been very pleased with all the other products from US Art Supply that I have tried, and I am equally impressed with my new paintbrushes. First, I love the two different types of brushes --- round and flat --- included in the sixteen-piece set. I paint a lot of different surfaces of varying sizes, so I need many different sized brushes. The bigger brushes are great for painting large areas while the smaller brushes are perfect for more detailed work. My daughter and I can work on all sorts of craft projects with this set of paintbrushes. I love the variety of brushes in this set.
One of my peeves about cheaper paintbrushes is that the bristles often bend, break, and fall out. I judge a good brush by the lack of breakage. As I have been painting with my new long handle bristle hair artist paint brushes from US Art Supply, I have noticed only one bristle fall out, which occurred when I first started painting with a new brush. Once that fluke loose bristle fell out, I have not noticed any other breakage. The handles are also made of sturdy wood that has been sealed to protect your fingers and hands from splinters. I am therefore very impressed with the quality of these paintbrushes.
Finally, I love the case that accompanies the 16-piece long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set from US Art Supply. The case features dark gray nylon material on the inside and outside with a black border and zipper. The zipper easily and securely closes the case to keep all the brushes in place inside. Each of the sixteen brushes fits neatly in numerical order in pockets on the inside. A handle makes transporting super easy. I am thus very impressed with the case that comes with this paintbrush set, which I received in exchange for my honest opinion. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
A great modelling tool plus update. I purchased the Badger Krome after reading several reviews on youtube and other modelling sites. I primarily do 1/35th scale armor and have been using a Badger Patriot 105 for the last 2 1/2 years. I was intrigued by the Krome's two smaller needle sizes and the trigger limiting device. My Patriot is a fine airbrush, but I had difficulties with panel shading and fading with it's .5 needle size. I found the Krome to be a great solution for those issues as well as weathering. I use the .33 needle principly as the .21 can be finicky with acrylics and tip dry. I get great results and have learned a lot of the last few months to improve my skills. My trigger skills are better, but it is nice to have the rear limiter as insurance against the dreaded SPLAT.
The Krome is longer and a tad heavier than my Patriot, but is well balanced and has a smooth trigger pull. I mostly use Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels and get excellent finishes using a 1:1 ratio of paint and thinner. Proper ratios and mixing are a little more critical with these smaller needles, but the Krome is very forgiving in this matter. Fit and finish are excellent and like my Patriot, the Krome is a breeze to clean between colors and after a session. Both needles require care when being inserted after cleaning, but not a chore. Parts are reasonably priced and readily available.
The Krome is a great airbrush to upgrade to for a scale modeller looking for quality and versatility at a reasonable price.
UPDATE: Having used my Krome for about a year now, it is still my go to airbrush and does excellent work. My brush requires careful cleaning of the needle and the sleeve it slides through between sessions. If not, there is sufficent friction to overcome the trigger spring causing the needle to stick in place. I wipe the needle clean with lacquer thinner and lube it prior to any painting session. This is a quirk that my Badger Sotar, Patriot, Patriot 2XR, and Anthem do not have. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
The tips are very fine, but you can still fill a larger area . I paid the listed price, unlike some of the reviewers here. No matter, these are worth it. The tips are very fine, but you can still fill a larger area quickly and fluidly. The "metallic" colors are actually a bit subdued, and pen lines will show if not careful. The "neon" pens are amazing, really much richer looking than I expected, not gaudy at all. These are my favorites. The "glitter" pens may surprise you; the grain is very fine and the colors are remarkably deep, you may not notice the metalflake right away, until you see it in oblique light. Lots of fun!
Everybody loves these, and everybody remarks on the clever case; I had planned to hoard them, but spouse, children, and grandchildren have all been at them, yet no pen has gone missing. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Good music, mediocre performance. There is some delightful music here. The "Kiss Duet" is a lot of fun, and quite memorable. The recording was made in 1974, and its star, Anna Moffo, was well past her prime. In her prime, she had a beautiful voice capable of agile coloratura. Here, she navigates the coloratura rather cautiously and at times sounds shrill on the high notes. I have always had a soft spot for Moffo (we both hail from suburban Philadelphia), but in this case I must reluctantly report what I hear. Her costars are a mixed lot, with Rene Kollo giving the strongest vocal performance.
I give this recording two stars because I wish the singing were better, but at the same time, I quite enjoy the music and I listen to it fairly regularly. There is more to Suppe than his overtures, and this record provides the proof.
Bottom line: I think any opera lover would enjoy this music, but I suggest you wait for a better recording to come along. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Super fun, I love these things. I love these things. I've owned two sets (currently I don't have one). One thing to be wary of is traveling with these pens... Don't take them on an airplane! Fortunately I had mine in their little case inside of a ziploc bag, but the ink got everywhere. Happened with both sets (they were still usable afterward, just messy). For me, the fun with these is the fact that you can't always control the ink flow very well. Some see that as a minus, but I love it, I think it makes for some really cool artwork. The ink is good quality and flows off the brush very easily - so much so that you can do some more abstract Jackson Pollock-y type stuff with these, if that's up your alley. The brush is very soft and malleable, too - not stiff like some brush pens I've used (Tombows, for example, are very stiff). I never tried disassembling to clean or refill, but I'm thinking I want to buy another set and will try that! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Fantastic Little Set, Especially with the Kives. I use these for gouache (a waterbase paint) and nothing works better, but I wanted little knives for the square palettes where I could scrape down the paints at the end of the day and get them together, then cover over tightly for use the next day. These are the first knives I've seen for use with gouache, and I really appreciate it. I love the round palettes because it's so easy to scrape those down also, drop some water in, then cover with foil, and the next day--VOILA--the perfect consistency or close to it. I especially like the little round palette set because there are times when one is using only a minute amount of a color, and these hold that amount beautifully,also helping you to not overmix. I cover all my paints with foil when I'm done; one reason is to keep the cats from getting hairs in them, but also because it help retain the moisture. When I'm completely finished with a paint, I can let it dry out, and it practically slips out of the round palettes. I like these a great deal and recommend them to anyone who uses a lot of small amounts of color in their paintings, but doesn't want to be saddled with large palettes of those colors. These are great for avoiding that. I recommend them highly. P.S. TO wash out plastic palettes, first try cold water instead of hot to keep colors like Viridian Green becoming a permanent part of the palette scenery. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
OMG buy this paint. OMG buy this paint. I bought the 8 oz of the castle..a dark gray that I was using to paint my dishusting old dark wood and stained bathroom vanity. I did not use any special brush and didn't bother cleaning it first either . I put it on and it was really nice..extremely forgiving..even without cleaning the wood it came out gorgeous. At one point I spilled it into the sink which was wet from washing my hands and I figured why waste it so I just put the paint directly on the brush from the sink..because i'm an idiot..so what was the worst that would happen I thought. Anyway, it was fine..no difference between the wettish paint I used that spilled into the sink and what came out of the bottle. I was happy it was a one coat paint but as it was drying I thought I would need another coat but about an hour later it was dark, gorgeous, no pits or holes of any kind or streaks. If I cold do it you can do it. Just remember for the novice that when you paint something you can stroke it on however you want but always finish with long strokes the same way. I on't even think with this paint it would matter though as there were absolutely no marks or streaks. Love this stuff and thinking of all the other things I need to paint now. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Ehhhh. I was very excited to get these metallics. I've heard the pros and cons of Vallejo from fiercely loyal citadel, reaper, and Vallejo fans. I have absolutely no loyalties to any brands, and I judge paints based only on how well they work for me as a miniature painter. That being said, I am not that pleased with these paints. The only one that I received from this set that was usable for me was the dark bronze color (forgot the name). Every other color was just very inconsistent and did not cover well at all. It could be that I just got a bad batch, but I kind of doubt that's the case. I've found that the Vallejo model air metallics work much better for me. I never thought that I'd say that I prefer something from citadel over Vallejo, but it seems that citadel has the upper hand on metallics...at least for me. Hopefully some of you have a better experience than me! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
So far so good. So far so good! Arrived brand new, very well packed. It's very heavy, which is nice, because it makes it stable. I used it to apply heat transfer vinyl to 7 shirts for my cousin's bachelor party. It was a hit! The temperature is fairly accurate and even. The timer works very well. Not much else to say really. It works. I may opt to buy a Squaretrade warranty as I plan to keep this item for quite a while so I can make T-Shirts for my business moving forward. I really don't know where I would get parts or service from after the Amazon return policy expires. So I'll probably squaretrade it since this is obviously made in China and may not last, even though it is working excellent right now.
PS: I also wanted to add that there IS 'space' between the back of the heating plate and the machine. So there is room for excess clothing material to sit or hang off, behind the heating plate. This comes in handy, depending on where on the piece of clothing you are applying the heat transfer. For example, if you're applying heat transfer vinyl to the center of a t-shirt, the top of the t-shirt will have to fall off the back. Luckily, there is room for this, very convenient. This is a question that I had prior to purchasing and could not effectively determine based on the product photos. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Fantastic. These liquid chalk markers are fantastic! I should note, other people who use them without reading the instructions complain that they are too dry and don't work. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! They work great, you just have to actually read the instructions! Before using them the first time, shake them really well and then press the tip of the pen against the chalk board so that the pen is perfectly vertical, and hold it for at least a minute. Some colors it takes longer, the blue and purple didn't take as long as the others. White took the longest, and requires the most shaking. Basically, you have to wait until the sponge tip is totally soaked and a small puddle of color just starts to form on the chalkboard.
You will notice that the pens get easier to use each time you use them, and it takes less and less time to soak the tip with the liquid chalk. But you do have to shake them and hold the tip down every time you use them, and sometimes while you are using them, you have to shake and re-soak the tip. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS DAMAGED. It is because this is liquid chalk, not ink or paint or anything like that. It just means the chalk is doing it's job and drying as the water evaporates.
All in all, I love the rich vibrant colors, and I use them all the time. They last me a really long time, I have been using most of the colors every week and still haven't had to replace them yet! You can use them on windows, chalkboards, cardboard, almost any medium, and I recommend to everyone who is looking for something colorful that they can easily wipe away with water later on. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
icurspam. This product is in high demand. Third party sellers are questionable as to the validity of supply. Order from a company with the stamp "Fulfillment By Amazon."(FBA) Basically meaning Amazon stored it for the seller so it is definitely in stock(according to the Amazon operator I talked to). This way when you order it, you decrease your chances of being told it MIGHT be sent out a month later with no guarantee which is what I was told from two different third party sellers that did not have the "Fulfillment By Amazon" stamp. Save yourself the headache and order through a company that amazon will back. This table has features that make it more dynamic and significantly easier to customize. It weighs about 49 lbs.
I added a light below the glass table shinning up so my wife/ kids can trace from other pictures with normal paper rather than expensive tracing paper and the side panels hold about 50-70 colored markers and pencils. Because of the tower they can pin-up reference pictures etc. and I rigged a light under the top shelf to light up the entire table making it easy on the eyes where a normal desk lamp is an impossibility because it has to be moved around, takes up table space and prevents the table from being tilted which is a very important feature. I clamped on a pencil sharpener for easy re-sharpening. I also added a power strip to the side for easy electrical access. I'm surprized I can't get the table to do my taxes and fart the star-spangled banner. Okay so everything has limits but compared to this table over 90 percent of the other tables appear more limited and exhibit less room for the imagination. I found myself questioning why a table like this hasn't been made before. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
I am SO disappointed. I researched which paint I should use for designing my new set of Corelle dishes and I chose Vitrea 160 based on the reviews I read. I guess I can only complain about one thing, but it's a biggie! I applied the paint after cleaning dishes as directed, waited 24 hours as instructed and then baked the dishes in the oven for the given time. I thought I was on my way to enjoying my "one of a kind", self designed dishes... when the paint scratched off one of the dishes after only one use. I was hoping that it was just a fluke, but my investment of both money and a lot of time seems to be for nothing. I am now stuck with a whole set of scratched dishes ( dishes with the paint scratched off). I can't just go out and buy a whole new set of dishes. I am very sorry and disappointed. Even the mugs, which do not get any contact with eating utensils are scratched. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Cricut Air has made my life easier. If you haven't upgraded your Cricut (or have never dabbled in these cutting machines - then get the Explore Air - sorry for the long review).
I've used the Cricut E1, Circut E2, Sihoulette Cameo, Making Memories Slice. The Explore Air is pretty helpful for last minute projects.
Explore Air vs Explore - Explore Air has bluetooth integrated internally - Explore requires you to purchase the bluetooth adapter. Explore Air is a light blue trim, Explore is the standard Cricut green.
Also - if you can purchase this in a bundle - do it - especially if you've never dabbled in cutting machines - it's nice to have the variety of materials, pens, mats, etc...and also there's a Frozen bundle. I always do bundles.

BLUETOOTH / WIRELESS:
You're no longer tied to a cable from the machine to your computer. This is super convenient for my household b/c now it sits on top of a bookcase - permanently plugged in and I can quickly slide some mats in and out and finish my project w/o having to move the machine down onto the table to connect to my laptop.
TROUBLESHOOT - If you're having issues with the bluetooth sync - try turning the bluetooth function on your ipad off and then back on. You should be able to find the Cricut and connect wirelessly. And then you're ready to cut.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
IPAD APP:
The iPad app is super convenient. I can create designs easily. I can also create ON THE GO - and then wait to come home or back to my office and do the cuts. (Long car rides, airplanes, waiting in line, hanging out at starbucks, long meetings - all have become productive time for me).
THE BEST FEATURE on ipad is the orange gridlines. I was trying to lay an image on top of a 2nd. The orange gridlines will tell me if i'm centered the the image, or the center of several selected image. I no longer have to play guessing games and hoping i got it close - or at least .05" close. I'm now exact!
At a few swipes of a finger I can add shapes/images/text. And just as easily I can delete an image, make it "invisible", expand/shrink it's size, change it from cut to score to write. The ipad app has saved me some time in design work. I've found that this app is more versatile, convenient and user friendly as it's intuitive. I find that the ipad app version is easier to use than the web-based. Mostly due to the zoom feature.
SIDE NOTE: I was making minecraft vinyl stickers for my kiddo and we were able to use 1" blocks to do the character building. He's 6 - he loves it - and it's teaching him a little about xy coordinates and matching photos and some math/grid blocks.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS MACHINE:
This is plug and play (previous versions like the Expressions require lengthy updates and software installs onto my computer. This is plug and play - unpack, plug in power, turn on, sync with ipad, login to cricut app, design.
This machine is also designed for on the go. The bag is great - the handles fit over the shoulder or gripped by hand. The machine is also relatively light. I do take my machine to my kids schools when we have craft time. I get my work done a lot faster than others. (Helps that I have hotspot off my phone, sync my ipad to my phone's wifi - boom, done).
It's super quiet - I have this in my office and people can't really hear the machine when it's going. I do get a lot of questions of what is that? A new printer? (I'm in a challenge right now to decorate my window once a month). (December Xmas Trees, January Snowflakes, Feb Vday and Chinese New Year, March St Patricks, now we're onto Easter Eggs).
It's fast - I was able to cut 18 shamrocks (3" wide on cardstock) in under 3 minutes.
The new blades are more durable. Pay attention to blade costs on amazon, I've seen a $5 price difference in just a few weeks (up/down).
The smart dial takes the guess work out of the depth of the blade and the speed of the cut or pressure. I don't know about you - but I can't remember what setting I use for Martha Stewart Cardstock vs Michaels Brand vs Cricut if I haven't worked on a project in a while. My older machines have plastic labels to tell me xyz paper is on a xyz setting for the blade.
You can manually customize your settings within the program. So if you're using a special material - then you can do test runs.
Print and cut feature is Ah-mazing - read further down for details.
This is also the ONLY machine I'm aware of that has an ipad app.

WHAT I WISH:
The machine should come with a scraper tool - that's a necessity. If you don't have one, check out the Slice (Making Memories) tool kit. I still swear by mine - it's inexpensive and has almost everything you can possibly need. It's also useful to scrape off the little bits of paper on your mat when it gets all gunked up.

OTHER TIDBITS:
I was talking to a mom friend of mine who said she spent $200 on supplies to make a banner. She had to buy foam letters as a set - and if it didn't have enough of a certain letter, she had to buy another one. She was essentially stuck with what she could get her hands on at the store which didn't really match the sizes she was looking for or a certain design. When I told her about the Cricut, she about died. I could have made her banner for under $20. And probably in less time. What really killed her though - she could have almost bought a cricut for what she paid in materials.
ACCESSORIES:
Cricut by far have the best blades and mats. I've used Cricut mats on my Silhouette Cameo. The adhesive is JUST RIGHT and doesn't kill my paper when I'm peeling off projects. I use the green mats for all my projects. When the green mats get used for a while and there's only a minimal about of stick left, I'll save that as a "light" mat and use it for thinner paper or delicate paper.
Cricut is the only brand I've come across that carries the larger cardstock (24x12) which I bought on Overstock. I also like the 24x12 mats for vinyl. I was able to make poster size words on it. And you can get vinyl in 24x12"
If you need tools (tweezers, scrapers, etc.) - Making Memories Slice Tool kit is the best.
Amazon has consistently better prices on blades/mats (you can get in bulk) and also tools compared to your box stores.
Also non-branded generic vinyl is great too! Fraction of the price. I bought a bulk roll of window film (12" x 25') - that frosted color kind, and cut it down to size to make snowflakes. They were a HUGE hit for school and my office. I've also been able to reuse the snowflakes by putting it onto plastic projector paper.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
MATERIALS I'VE USED ON THE EXPLORE - apparently this is the mother of all machines and I can cut all sorts of material. Challenge Accepted.
FOAM: (Do use a brand new mat - otherwise your foam will unstick mid cut and you will turn into a sailor). The nice thing about this software is that you can still customize your cut pressure. Use the deep cut blade (I've tried variations of settings and deep cut and regular blade before I figured out that I could adjust the setting. DUR. Do know that on one side, it will leave roller marks. So mirror your cuts as necessary.
VINYL: OH EM GEE!! This thing is a dream to cut vinyl with. I uploaded some designs that I found off the internet, uploaded it to Cricut Design Space and it cut them perfectly! My kiddo is obsessed with Mario right now - so I cut out some Mario vinyl and stuck them onto a mason jar - made my own lid insert and voila - instant piggy bank that cost me about $1 each to make. I'm thinking this would be a great way to make personalized party favors - fill little jars with candy, or trinkets.
WINDOW CLING MATERIAL: Cuts the same as vinyl. I've found that Vinyl stays better if whatever i'm intending isn't to be peeled off and re-positioned much.
PENS: I figured since the pens were pretty fine point - that it wasn't able to make an significant drawings - I was wrong. You can set it to run a few times over so it makes a thicker line. I liked that a lot. And it's awesome to NOT have to switch out a pen for the blade - which you have to do with the Silhouette. The computer controls everything - and it's made doing a project effortless and efficient.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A SOLID MACHINE:
The machine needs to be easy to use. And by easy I really mean efficient. ROI has to be solid (Return on Investment) - which means to me - the time I spend "designing it", cutting it, and if necessary, putting it together. The machine has to be easy to use to minimize mistakes - I hate wasting paper - or having to run the same project 3x b/c the mat slipped or a cut didn't go all the way.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I got into the cutting machine world b/c I was into making cards. I liked having the ability to cut a specific shape into a specific size, but that was a phase. The machine has stayed though. Cricut has now become a practical item, like a printer or a microwave.
My most recent projects:
my work wanted branded hershey kisses made in less than 2 days, - printed our logo on address labels - i didn't have sticker paper - and then had the machine cut to hershey size, made a 100 in less than an hour from design to finish - and cost me nothing as i had all the material in my office,
I also made branded magnets (about the size of a hershey's kiss)
help a teacher in need (50 8" people shapes - it took me 30 minutes to do),
brought a little festive cheer to the office by making vinyl snowflakes and going around the building sticking them to windows
did the same with v-day cards on window cling
I've made vinyl decals for my car
Breakroom word collage that I saw on pinterest but wanted different vinyl colors.
I don't have the luxury of time to run around or go back and forth to a michaels. I also like having control of what I'm creating, or if I see something I like, I want to be able to do it and do it now. And the ipad app lets me do that. NOW!
What made me realize the cricut is worth it's weight in gold? Cutting letters. Did you know that factory cut letters are expensive and more often than not, the teachers are left with letters from these kits that they don't use? At the end of every year for my kid's preschool we made them a box of letters. The teachers were so appreciative of it b/c they would always run out of lettes A, B, C and E and S. As a preschool graduation present - we got them a Cricut so they can cut their own letters - and have the right size, and whatever font they want it in.
If you've never had a machine - you're probably overwhelmed. I know I was when I first started years ago with the Expression as my first foray into this world. The Explore takes the guesswork out of almost everything.
I like that I can do 1 project with little effort and get the kids excited to want to participate. There are tons of licensed materials too - so if you have kids - this is great. (They have FROZEN items now). And the print and cut feature is great for the licensed items - no more having to use 7 layers to make a spongebob. It's print, feed it into the machine, and boom, done!
If you have other machines - it's time to upgrade. The ipad app and the versatility of essentially being wireless (the machine still needs to be plugged in for power) is amazing. The projects are limitless. Yes - this is an investment - but like my girlfriend who spent $200 in material to make the banner, what you save will help pay for the machine itself.
Also the subscription program where it gives you access to thousands of shapes - $10/month - and you're not tied to a contract for a length of time. Sign up for it when you need it. A while back I had signed up with Silhouette for their 12 month program - and realized i spent months not touching it - the credits expired. Money down the drain.
My next project - tattoo paper using print and cut and also printable vinyl. Oh, and glitter t-shirt iron ons.
Feel free to ask my questions. I'm generally pretty good at responding.
UPDATE 3/20/2015:
I feel SOOOO silly for not writing about this. Scoring tool. It's kinda amazing. It's great to create fold lines especially on harder cardstock. I wanted to make those fortune tellers and by using the scoring function, we were able to make them easily. And I used them to make the 3d stars that's a free project. It helps you make sure that the lines are folding at the right angle so your piece matches up.
UPDATE 6/3/2015:
Check out this link for tips on the cricut:

Interesting Toy - Great for Personalization. This is a neat idea and works fairly well. 3D objects with curves or crevices will be a bit harder to skin and take an adult.
To make it work, cut or use a skin a bit larger than the area to be covered. Place it against the thing it will be adhered to (it's a little tacky after you peel the clear sheet), wrap it up in the included wet sponge, and place in the vacuum chamber. Then press the button on the pump and watch the water get sucked out while the skin is adhered. The door may be a bit hard to open afterwards due to the vacuum; again, an adult using it the first few times is recommended before little kids play with it.
We've skinned everything from iphone cases to lego pieces to jewelry (barrette). When this round of skins run out, we'll definitely be purchasing more. My daughter really liked the assortment of colorful skin choices. Especially since we can now tell our iphones apart with the different skins! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Pleased with the results. I purchased this because I was on a mission. I had a white silk blouse that was stained so I (like an idiot who knows better now) soaked the top in cold water and bleach thinking it would whiten the entire top. Surprise, surprise it turned the blouse a dingy yellow. A google search told me I could try using rit color remover. SO I did and IT DID!!! I boiled the top with the color remover and after about 45 minutes the shirt was more of an ivory color. NOT WHITE, but not yellow. It was a color soft enough to be wearable. And the texture was not ruined. I was thrilled. I even read if I treated it again it would probably go back to the original white. :) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
They stay put, even through washing and pressure canning. These are fantastic labels. I've been doing a lot of canning this year and was tired of scraping off old paper labels every time I re-used a jar. That chore is now a thing of the past since I started using these things. I love how easy it is to wipe them clean (just spray with Windex and wipe away what you've written) and yet the labels don't go anywhere. They've stuck through repeated dishwashing cycles, and even through a round of pressure-canning yesterday!
Definitely use the Ziggyboard liquid chalk, though. I tried a different brand at first and it didn't write as smoothly. The Ziggyboard pen looks wonderful. I just love these things! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
These are great coloring pencils. First let me say, I am not an artist and I cannot draw, I am just having fun with coloring pencils and gel pens in a coloring book. I Luv it!
I thought I would see what watercolor looks like in my coloring book. It is difficult to move a wet tip pencil on paper. You make a line and you can't spread it, you go back for another dip and it just doesn't come out right know matter how little water I use. It's too dark or it just looks bad. I think these pencils were design to go on canvas paper, or heavier paper, perhaps the going back and forth would look more interesting. I feel that only an artist can make them work properly. I think I would rather use a paint brush to help control the paint with the water. BUT I LOVE the way they lay down in a coloring book WITHOUT water. They are smooth and the texture is great and so are the colors. I would purchase them in a larger set if they came in one. This is my six brand of pencils and I like them more than the Prismacolor pencils and the Castle and the Hero and Colore pencils just to name a few. I will have to try them out again with water on different paper and try to do something in abstract! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Misleading. While the bottle is labeled as fountain pen & dip pen ink, this is not really the case.
As several other individuals have experienced, it seems to clog fountain pens and work poorly. One contributor said that the ink contains pigment particles rather than being soluble dye based like fountain pen inks are supposed to be, and it does seem to be the case with my use. Don't use this ink with fountain pens.
On the dip pen side, it's a pretty lackluster ink. I assume whoever formulated thought that if the ink was simply more runny, it would be fine to label it as a fountain pen ink, as I find it is much less viscous than my speedball/kuretake/yasutomo inks. While some people may enjoy this as it DOES make it more manageable, in the sense that it will clog less and run onto the page more easily, I find this characteristic to be rather negative.
It causes the ink to bleed more in the page, and too much ink to run off the pen causing thicker lines created with G nibs to pour a small puddle on the page. You also have to be very careful as the ink doesn't dip to the nib as well so if you load up your nib heavily it could conceivably drip off and ruin whatever you were working on.
Overall while it's a complete failure as a fountain pen ink in my book, I could see some people who want a dip pen ink that flows more easily to enjoy this ink. Despite this, I am not a fan. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Poor Design. Most of the Martha craft tools I have used I have liked, but this tool was a waste of twenty dollars. The circular template tool is incredibly hard to keep steady on your paper and you can not use any paper smaller than 9 x 9 to create your circles. You pretty much have to cut directly in the center of your paper and can only get one circle per sheet. If you use anything smaller the paper just spins around as you try to cut accomplishing nothing. Also, when you are cutting with a large paper, the tool moves around too much, you will maybe get 1 perfect circle out of every 5 attempts. Poor design and poor quality, do not buy this product, Martha should be ashamed. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Not as advertised. This item does not perform as stated. I have been applying my knowledge and that of original manufacturers and the bottom line is you need just as many gizmos to get an acceptable cut as you do with the platform 'sandwich' system. I will perform a few more tests then exchange for something else. After visiting a local scrapbook store with an older crank machine of another type of brand to see if they could run some dies with paper The Crossover couldn't I realized I was working way too hard to get die cuts - hurting my arm in the process. It only has a fighting chance if you put a magnetic layer and use tin shims neither which are readily available and do deteriorate while cutting. (the manufacturer sent these to me but their own website is out of the magnetic layer). | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Affordable, light, and compact. This is a great easel! It's extremely light, and surprisingly compact--and it even comes with a bag! I'm used to the traditional, very heavy wooden easels, so I was a little afraid that it'd be shaky, since it's so light, but it's been fairly steady--watch out for wind though. I love that it can be adjusted to a table-top easel too! Great to carry around, bring on trips, etc. All this for a great price! Two complaints: 1) the top part that holds the easel, if adjusted too high, doesn't always stay straight--but that's not a problem if the easel's holding a canvas or sketchpad. 2) it opens rather wide, so it's a little hard to use in smaller spaces. Overall though, this was a great buy, I'm so glad I decided on this one! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
M. Graham makes the best paints, a little goes a long way. Paynes Grey stays permanently in my Pallet because it is so useful. M. Graham makes the best paints. Just love this brand.... a little bit goes a very long way. Because they use a tiny bit of honey it is easy to re-wet what is in the pallet. Don't need to scrub at the dried pigment to reconstitute it. Not a real big deal but it is nice when working.
The pigments they use are of excellent quality, deep color that is easy to mix into lots of water to lighten.
Paynes Grey is so useful it lives in my pallet. Mixes with greens to deepen for shadows or somber evergreens. Takes the edge off of Thalo colors to make them more natural in tone. Works beautifully alone or with Ultramarine for stormy skys. It is my go to for making puffy clouds. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
It works exactly like I wanted it to work. Bought this to take to a watercolor painting class. It fits in my tool box, folds to save my paints that are in use. It works exactly like I wanted it to work. Some in class had much larger palettes, and it was obvious they use them lots, but this one is good for me as a beginner and inexpensive enough that later on if I want to replace it with something different it won't be an issue. So, it works for me, glad I go it. Personally thinking if I needed more pallet space, I could just buy an additional one and have the same good features of this one, but may be too inexperienced to make that as an educated recommendation. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Needs thinning, but good. If you are into modelling miniatures for wargaming then you may have heard about the new hotness, the minitaire paint line. Color variety is comprehensive, i've used only a few of the colors and they are just what you would think they are. Bright bold colors that come in all the varieties you are hoping for. Some of the tones I've seen that are kind of samey are all the varieties of green, brown and grey.
As far as using the product un-thinned and ready to spray out of the bottle, don't believe it. That part from what I can tell is hype. They spray unthinned real nice... for 15-20 seconds before I would get tip dry when i used them unthinned. So you MUST THIN THESE PAINTS. I would not buy the hype or anyone who says otherwise.
I used vallejo matte medium mixed with distilled water 3:1 then added some drops of liquitex flow aid. If you want to save money buy some glycerine from walmart for about $2.50 and you have concentrated flow aid. Just don't add too much glycerine or your paint will never dry. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Utterly failed from the start. I'm genuinely shocked at the poor quality of this airbrush. Maybe I shouldn't be at the price, but I have other Master airbrushes and they are decent.
The machining on this thing is really coarse. There are many parts where the electroplating/chrome didn't take so there's just bare, oxidized metal showing through. The threads are really rough and catch any time you have to adjust anything. The 0.3mm needle that was installed originally was stuck to the inside of the nozzle. The inside of this thing is just crusty with filth of some sort.
I got this for the 0.5mm nozzle size since I have the other sizes covered with other airbrushes. However, after installing it, I wasn't getting enough pressure coming out to draw any paint. Either the OD of the nozzle was too large or the ID of the cap was too small. Removing the cap fixed the airflow issue. When swapping back to the 0.3mm nozzle to confirm that it was the cap or nozzle or needle, the 0.5mm nozzle sheered off inside the airbrush. I didn't overtighten it to start with and I wasn't using a lot of force to remove it.
Hopefully the seller will be kind enough to allow a return. It is a shame because what you get for the price is great if it worked. Maybe I just got a bad one. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Lawn Fawn's Jessie's ABCs. This is a lovely alphabet. Not too large, not too small. I use the set a lot. I use Memento, Versafine, Tim Holtz Distress, and Stampin Up inks; and these stamps work well with them. I do not own any of Lawn Fawn's ink, but the stamping looks nice in their tutorials. The letters do line up as nicely as Lawn Fawn claims. The letters I used most frequently began to lose their cling and would not adhere to acrylic blocks or the plastic storage sheet. I followed Lawn Fawn's instructions to wash in warm, soapy water (I use Method dish soap) and let air dry. This worked very well, and they again cling nicely. I'm impressed with the quality of these stamps as well as other Lawn Fawn stamp sets in my collection. Very nice product. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
The pictures say it all. I needed a sticker set that was within the size dimensions of my project and this set was the best. Stickers were all uder 2 & 1/4" which was a requirement to fit on round wooden discs that were spray painted black to look like hockey pucks and put into a shot glass holder that holds 36 items for display on the wall. The sticker adhesiveness was great which was not so with the other sets I bought so that was a plus as well. Have not observed any of the stickers coming off yet and I have had this set for a while now. Hockey was the only sport that I had to create a set for and these stickers were perfect. We have been able to purchase collectible helmet/ball sets for the NBA, MLB, NFL and NCAA but hockey just does not have a puck set like the other sets do so this was a DIY project and it turned out perfect! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Very pleased with it. I was thrilled to find this since I had wanted to try silverpoint for a long time, but the the process of preparing a traditional ground was daunting, expensive, and required tools I have neither the space nor the patience for. The pigments do settle with time, and they settle quite firmly, so before use, you need to VERY thoroughly shake the bottle and maybe stir the contents with a skewer or chopstick to make certain everything in the bottle is completely mixed together. (When you hear the ball bearings rattling around in there, you know you're on your way.) Otherwise, it was easy to apply to my paper, and after the ground dried, I had a great time learning how to do silverpoint drawing. I definitely recommend this product and will buy it again when the first bottle runs out. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
What a terrific idea. I'm what I would call a semi-professional artist / illustrator. Here is a link to a book I illustrated, so that you know what I'm saying is legit, lol: <a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Science-of-Seasons-A-Guest-Hollow-Guide/dp/150784980X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Science of Seasons (A Guest Hollow Guide)</a>. Most of my work is digital, but I love to play with "real" art supplies as well and have years experience with a variety of materials. These water brush watercolor pens are such a neat idea!! They are hollow plastic pens that you fill with water, ink, or very thin paint or pigment (mixed with water). They come in 6 sizes from a nice big blunt tip that can spread color or water over a large area, down to some really nice fine tips for details. The brush tips don't splay unless you really push on them and function like good quality synthetic brush heads. They are a soft but springy synthetic nylon that reminds me of some of the decent quality synthetic watercolor brushes I've purchased in the past. The water soaks into the brush fibers at a perfect rate - but you can squeeze the pen bodies to increase the flow, if you need larger amounts of water. I tried them out with water and will be using them with watercolor pencils, as well as some watercolors. I'll post some pictures of my work, in the future (EDITED: see the picture I painted of some cherries using watercolors and one of these pens). I also used them to spread some gel ink. The ink was absorbed into the brush head, but not into the brush body. The ink came out of the fibers without any hassle - just a few squeezes of water and it as completely color-free again. The caps fit snugly with a nice tight snap, and I didn't have any issues with leaking. If you use these with paints in the reservoir, the caps will keep it from drying out.
The sizes you get are:
Flat brush tips
Large brush tip: 10 mm
Medium brush tip: 7 mm
Small brush tip: 4 mm
Rounded brush tips
Large brush tip: 5mm
Medium brush tip: 4 mm
Small brush tip: 3 mm
These "pens" remind me of what I can do when I digitally paint. When using a program like Corel Painter, or Manga Studio, I like to apply color to my canvas / paintings, and then blend with some virtual water. That is exactly what you can use these brushes to do in real life. I love that, as it's not something I could do as easily before!
I received these brushes in exchange for my honest review. This in no way influenced my opinion, as all of my reviews are totally (and sometimes brutally, lol) honest. I don't always give out good ratings, and I do NOT change my review ratings when asked to by sellers!! I buy most of my stuff online, so I really LOVE online reviews and try to make my own reviews as useful as possible and make sure to write details into my review(s) that I would want to read, if I were trying to make a purchase decision. Please leave a comment if you have any questions, and I'll try to answer asap! :-) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Beware! Do not order from Art Star. Warning- do NOT order this item from Art Star! It was originally advertised as shown, but with 8 oz. instead of 8 ml. tubes (a 24 fold difference). I ordered it, and instead of what is now shown (corrected to 8 ml.) they sent an old, beat up box of only six tubes, no mixing palette, no brush. And terribly packaged. You can order this same kit from other sellers. Both Amazon, to whom I have complained, and customers (that's you!) need to know that this is one very sloppy, careless, and perhaps fraudulent company! And Amazon needs to get enough feedback to remove them as an Amazon Prime choice. Amazon customers deserve better. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
great product horrible directions in the box. I would have gave 5 stars however I was disappointed originally. I picked my tulip screen it a couple days ago and followed the directions in the box and it didn't burn all the way through. i tried to clean the screen and it wouldn't come all the way off. As i continued to try to get the screen design clean, around the letters if starting fading. I wouldn't have had to continue cleaning the design if it came off like it was suppose to. Must have been burning if for 15 minutes with out flipping the screen at 8 minutes like the new directions said off the links that are posted all over the reviews that made the difference. Wish i would have read the reviews and saw the link sooner with the new directions. That really should be in the box. I had one screen left and no where to get more except online and with my deadline there was no time. I followed the new directions and i must say it came out perfect! Wish i would have done it the new way the first time and I wouldn't have wasted a screen that is not only hard to get but expensive. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Good for Mixed media use & for a good price. I love this paper. Nice tooth (texture of the paper) I don't do heavy washes with my watercolors with this.... usually when Im doing that i use Arches watercolor paper . But this paper is great for colored pencils, mineral spirits and light washes of water color. So its a descent mixed media paper. You can layer your pencils very well but it will eat your pencils up especially the soft core ones like prisma. But sometime you need that to get the layering you need. I like that both sides of the tablet the front and back cover are pretty stiff cardboard. It helps protect your paper. I'm pleased with this purchase especially for the price. I have heard that their single sheets are even better but of course its a little more expensive...but you do get what you pay for. For the money this is a descent product to use especially for beginners wanting to go a to a better quality paper with out a lot of cost. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Performance rating. The product cuts fine, but what I don't like is having to place the items you want to cut onto the sticky mat to hold it in place. If you are cutting regular card stock for example, pealing the card stock from the sticky mat after cutting will cringe the card stock. When it is humid or hot, the stickiness of the mat sticks well to the material and will tear the card stock if you try to separate it afterwards. So trying to cut things that are less than the thickness and durability of card stick will produce poor results when removing it. If you try to have it cut without using the mat, the blade will damage the interior of the machine. If I was to design this product, I would introduce a mechanical feature on the acetate mat to hold materials in place. They force you to use their sticky mats so you have to keep spending money to replace it.
Sometimes, there is slippage and the item you want to cut moves around. There is only 2 large gripping areas on the grip bar that holds the material down in place. Even though these 2 parts are adjustable, it is a hassle to adjust it, and I fear over adjusting will make the parts lose it's grip. It would be better if the product had more contact areas on the grip bar so it can hold materials better, and no need to adjust parts every time you cut different material sizes. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Best toy ever. I am, by far, the UNcraftiest person ever... i purchased the Cameo to try to make my own personalized cards, clothing and whatever else my little heart desires. I have not been disappointed. It cuts like a dream. I have made thank you cards for my daughter's birthday and they look professional! I made my daughter a rhinestone design on a t-shirt that turned out brilliantly. I used the sketch pens to address the envelopes for the thank you cards and those looked beautiful. My husband enjoys designing stencils to use to dye his discs for disc golf. I, so far, have not found any cons about this product. You don't have to be crafty to use it...

Not the Pink Pearl it used to be. Pink Pearl erasers used to be the only erasers I ever bought. That's going to change.
I have right now, sitting on my desk, two Pink Pearls. One is old - five years old at least. One is new - less than two years. The old one is firm and smooth, and I can still read the lettering across the front. It works as well as it ever did, even half used up. The new one is misshapen. There are chunks missing from the corners where bits of eraser have torn off. Its texture is gummy and feels weird in my hand. While the old one erases smoothly and cleanly, the new one snags on the paper and doesn't get the graphite up nearly as well.
What happened, PaperMate? Why did you change the Pink Pearl? If the old version wasn't viable anymore, I still think Papermate's R&D could have spent a little more time and effort to design something that was just as good. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Easy, fast and fun to use. I am so glad I bought this tool. I have a stash of 12 X 12" designer papers that aren't favorites so I decided to try it out immediately. It arrived Sunday afternoon and by midnight I had a huge stack of beautiful envelopes! I mostly make A2 sized cards and I tested the first envelopes to see if they would fit because I make a lot of dimensional cards. I had read instructions in the product feedback saying to cut paper at 8", but the scoreboard says 8 1/8 so I used that measurement. First score line is 3 3/4" Note: I used some papers with words to experiment and they ended upside down...I refolded and they ended up reading correctly and are my favorite envelopes.
The included corner rounder is nice for the cards too. Try die- cutting a window in the front panel and cover with lightweight acrylic to give a peek to the enclosed card, THEN glue. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
good brushes, an okay deal. I received a discount on this item for reviewing it. Whenever I do that, I first compare the full retail price of the item to comparable products. If an item is good but costs more than similar products, I would not buy it, so I would not recommend it to others. In this case it is hard to find a strictly *better* product for cheaper. However.. you can get *more* for about the same price.
Other reviews go into a lot of detail on the features and quality of the brushes. They are good brushes. They would only have to cost a little less to deserve five stars.
In short, if you want the particular features of this set (thick, clear, short handles on these five tips) go for it. :) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Large and bright with a few minor drawbacks. I received this light pad at no cost in order to test and review it. Overall it is a very good product and works well. The light button is a bit too sensitive (see below), but the large size and excellent brightness still make it a very good option.
PROS:
* This is very thin and portable - I love that!
* This can be very bright, brighter than some other light pads I have tried. No problem at all to see through 140 lb paper.
* The light gradually dims or brightens when you hold down the touch button, so you can get infinite levels of brightness.
* The 11" x 14" size is great. It has a 9" x 12" working (lighted) area with an inch of "grip space" all around.
* The charging cable is much nicer than most: 4ft long, flat, and sturdy
* This works nicely with a power bank for portability
CONS:
* The touch button is very sensitive, so it sometimes turns on or changes the brightness accidentally. That can be pretty distracting when I am trying to trace. From what I can tell, it seems to be turning on when even when I touch NEAR the power button (not just on it). So when I turn the board for a better angle the light often changes brightness.
* The connection for the USB cable is a little loose. Sometimes I have to unplug and replug it to get it to work.
Despite the fact that I have to fiddle with the light and the USB connection, I still like this and use it regularly. It is brighter than other light pads I have tried, and it has a larger work surface. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Research,Review,Ask questions&Research more prior to making the purchase. I did Extensive Research, prior to the decision to purchase Neon Nights, Glow in the dark powder,sNight's, amount needed for desired results for my particular projects, effects of the finished projects,etc.
After the purchase, of coarse I had High hopes for A Very Satisfying end result,However,I've been Extremely unsatisfied, to say the least! Several factors weigh in on my personal review. I have used the product as directed, in various amounts, on various surfaces&projects, attempting to get satisfactory results for the final product overall, but have Not been able to achieve results even close to what I desired&expected,unfortunately. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |

top-of-the-line pencils. I've tried Sanford Design pencils, Staedtler Lumographs, Derwent Sketching, Lyra Rembrandts, and Faber-Castell 9000s. With Staedtlers and Sanfords, the lead occasionally breaks in the casing while sharpening. With all 5, I have experienced tiny hard bits in the lead, which occasionally prevented me from achieving a smooth, free-flowing line. I've been using the Tombow Mono for years now and have never experienced ANY problems with them. While the 2Bs and 4Bs might equal the darkness/softness of a 4B and 6B in another brand, that's the only thing you'll need to be concerned about before purchasing these pencils. The H's are perfect for light sketching, but the Bs are superb for both sketching and drawing. Tombow Monos are top-of-the-line pencils: smooth, strong, dark, and problem-free.
(You'll get the most for your money and the best drawing results sharpening these with an x-acto blade/knife. Most other sharpeners are a disaster since they aggressively eat away at both the wood barrel and the graphite.) | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Cake decorators - This budget airbrush will do the trick. I purchased this airbrush as a new addition to my cake decoration arsenal. I was a little leary on the quality because of the low price, but I decided to order it. I was pleasantly surprised, as I have owned a higher priced airbrush for other art creation in the years past. This Master airbrush works great. It is easy to operate and the little air-compressor that comes with it works well too.
I had to disassemble it twice since I got it to really clean it out, but that is only becuase I'm using food coloring that has flakes in it, like Gold Shimmer.
I recommend this airbrush for the novice or the professional cake decorator as it will be an affordable addition to your cake decoration toolbox. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Great Design. I think the people writing negative comments about the container are missing the point. The plastic case is solid and strong. Each of the components locks in place tightly but it is not difficult to remove them. With a little examination you can find the pressure points to push against on each component and it pops right out. The extra mixing tray is securely set into the cover and when you need two trays it lifts easily out of the cover (the cover becomes the second tray) and attaches firmly to the front of the box.
The unwrapping of the paint tubs was slightly tedious but I had them all unwrapped and ready to use in 15 minutes or less. So maybe the warning should be, "some assembly required...but not much." The paint blocks are loose in the tubs and can fall out. You can make them adhere to the tub by lifting the paint block out, put a drop or two of water in the tub, put the paint block back in the tub pressing it slightly into the bottom of the tub and let it dry. The paint block is now secured to the tub.
Love the case, love the design, love the paint, and the size is perfect. I'd give it more stars if they were available. Highly recommended. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Good basic calligraphy felt tip pens. I wanted these to address envelopes for Christmas cards. The finest tip in this package (2.0) is not fine enough. My fault - I didn't realize that. Beyond that, these are felt tip markers with flat chiseled tips that work fine, complete color coverage - no skipping or fading; they should last through a lot of use as long as you don't have a heavy press when you write, but remember they are felt tip pens that will eventually become less chiseled and run out of ink. It's a good price for a good starter kit for someone who is interested in learning calligraphy or even for someone who is looking to use it for larger lettering. I'll attach a picture but not sure if you can see or agree that the lettering is bloated looking and bunched up a bit for the standard small envelope. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Ignore The Critics! Quirky, Basic, Excellent. I don't quite understand why someone would write a negative review. Perhaps they felt the price was a little high for the overall craftsmanship? However, it arrived as it was very accurately described. It's fairly sturdy, basic construction, with slightly clunky adjustments. Taking it down and moving it around did require a little finagling, but nothing where I had to call NASA for some engineering assistance? I've seen wooden easels for three times this asking price, plus tax. If you don't want to pay the full price for something on Amazon, go shop in their warehouse returns like I did for this easle!?? Duh!!! I paid $30 instead of the $50, and after receiving it - I would have paid the $50. So I was $20 bucks ahead, which paid for my acrylic paints to help me ease back into painting after a 30 year layoff. All that being said, it's an excellent easle to use, even with it's small quirks. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Beautiful set of pencils, but. This is a beautiful set of pencils. I wouldn't recommend pencils for people who have arthritis. I started using these pencils the same day I received them. I would like to know how the reviewers who included their own work with the reviews they wrote received such bright, beautiful colors? I wasn't able to to get the bright colors that I wanted without using a lot of pressure which in turn flared up my arthritis!! I even tried to color over and over the same picture hoping to get the bright colors that I wanted! I know personally that when I use the Crayola Brand of pencils I don't have to use much pressure to get the colors that I want!! I have let my adult daughter use these pencils and she said the same thing with these as I. I also found that the case although beautiful was difficult for me to handle because I have to sit in a chair with my legs elevated to color rather than at a table or desktop. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
it an excellent machine. Hardware-wise. Software is seriously demented. In some ways, it an excellent machine. Hardware-wise, it has great capabilities for cutting sheet materials of many kinds. But the software is very glitchy and the interface is poor. For example, in rendering a long word (continuous) in huge letters (5" high, 500 points, stretched 20% vertically), the program lost the vertical stretch when the characters were broken up into individual letters and saved to multiple pages that would fit on the vinyl sheets. The first page of letters had the correct vertical stretch, but the latter three pages lost it, reverting to the 500 point size. Several files were "renamed" when "save as" was selected, requiring restarting the entire font-conversion effort. After being separated into individual letters, some characters were addressable by their font spec, others only had dimension specs. And fonts from CorelDraw, converted into vector-graphic outlines or solid-character bit-map images, will not cut with a clean edge. None of the fonts. Even corporate logos import and cut with jagged lines. If you use the Cricut resident fonts, they cut clean. But the Cricut font sets have awful kerning requiring each letter of a word to be cut apart and hand placed. There are no kerning controls in the software. So for simple applications and scrapbooking, you might love this machine. But for serious art, graphics and craft projects, you will likely become extremely frustrated with the lack of sophistication of the software--and interface. As an example of many, creating a "project" with overlapping letters CANNOT be cut; Cricut moves the letters before cutting, assuming that you really do not want to do the project that you have just created. Even grouping the letters does not protect them from Cricut sabotage. Caveat emptor. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Ok...Wish I got the regular pack. I'm a teacher and get tired of my first graders drying out their dry erase markers. I have bought these Crayola dry erase crayons before in the regular colors. I like them except that they break quite easily when pushed on too hard. The pack of regular colors had a yellow crayon that didn't show up well on white boards, so I decided to try this set this time. Unfortunately, this set has a brighter yellow that doesn't show up and also a white crayon, which is pretty much useless unless you have a black board. So only 6 out of 8 of them are useful to me. I uploaded a picture to compare these bright colors with the regular colors. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Top-of-the-line stickers for greeting cards. Jolee's boutique 3-D stickers are best-in-class for decorating greeting cards.
These flowers can be used singly or in groups to decorate sympathy cards (see customer image for an example). Each cream-colored flower is edged with a discreet amount of sparkle, and centered with a rhinestone. The 'bouquets' are tied together with a thin silver cord, shaped into a bow. You simply peel the individual flowers or bouquets off of the clear plastic sheet inside the package, and stick them to your card or scrapbook page. I also use the individual flowers on the inside of a card.
Other types of cards where these flowers would look great: friendship; Easter; Mother's Day; feminine birthday cards; and get well cards. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Great selection, rich color, I love the pens. I love the gel pens. I have been using using them for coloring books and for homemade cards. The choice of colors is great - pretty good gradation is possible and there are some gorgeous, rich jewel tones. The application is also good. A few have been a little scratchy at first but they all work and I have had no blobs which is a big deal because one blob can ruin a page. Since I just got them, I can't speak to how long they last or whether they dry out quickly.
The packaging is OK. I kind of wish that the type of pen (metallic, glitter, etc.) Was specified because that's not always easy to figure that out. The plastic cases are also OK but I will probably put them into a hard plastic storage box eventually.
The price was great and I have ordered another set for my daughter-in-law for her birthday.
All in all I would say yeah, buy them, you will love them. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Well packed and bright colors. Recieved them along with other items I ordered. All came within a week. Well packed with large bubble wrap and sealed in a ziplock bag. Very bright colors. Used with some stencils I picked up on here. Tried out on my 2 daughters and their cousin. Still good color after 2 days. Faded a bit after showing, but how long do you expect it to last? At carnies and other events I've seen people do temp tats don't make guarantees to last longer then the day. Two days seem good for me, even after being showed. Will pick up more, and may look for different colors. Out of the 12, 3 came in flip tops. No biggie. The 3 flip tops do have a marble that clicks when you shake them, as the others do not. I did recieve a Dark Green instead of the Lime Green as it states. Another no biggie, can mix them and lighten it a bit. Over all I'm statisfied with what I recieved. Oh, before applying wipe area with rubbing alcohol. I use the 91% Isopropyl alcohol, good for cleaning the airbrush when done. Read some temp tat paint reviews say theirs do not last long. Maybe cleaning the skin area will help. Hope this helps...Enjoy. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
All 20 are the exact same! No variety in punch design! Do not order unless you like high risk no reward gambling. I read the other reviews before purchasing and figured I'd take a gamble on how many different shaped punches I'd receive. I only needed 6 different ones for a project. I received ONE punch design... times 20. All 20 are the exact same punch! I set out to save some money but instead spent 11 dollars for ONE, and not even a high quality one either. I have never been more disappointed with an Amazon purchase. I waited two weeks to find out that I am exactly where I started minus 11 dollars. Maybe you'll be luckier than I was but you have to decide if it's worth it if you're not. Wish I had spent the extra money to guarantee that I'd get at least 5 or 6 different designs. I do not recommend this at all. One star, at least they sent them to me. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Great Product. Dont normally write reviews but with the result and excitement I had with these paints, I decided to write a review and share my thoughts with others. I ordered brush pens and paint kit from the same seller; this review is about the paint kit - when I opened it, they seem very normal and I wasn't that impressed with the size of the tubes until I started mixing the colors together. And it was fascinating how beautiful the color combinations turned out to be, and those lil tubes packed a lot of paint in them. The colors were soo vibrant, plus 18 colors/tubes are a lot for me (atleast for now). The best part is that, it washed off the hands very easily with no haunting smells. Overall, its a grade A product with nice packaging, good looking, obviously great colors and would be a great gift. Glad to buy this product. Great product! | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
I has searched burlap bows or burlap wedding or something like that. For the price I assumed the were . I should have read the description. I didn't go looking for these, I came across them when looking for wedding decor. I has searched burlap bows or burlap wedding or something like that. For the price I assumed the were much bigger and planned to use them as part of my guests table center pieces. We are having table runners with Mason's jars and sunflowers scattered in the middle and I though one or two of these thrown in would be cute.
Him disappointed they are very very small. Maybe quarter sized and are for sure made for scrap booking and things like that. I will find a use for them but don't be fooled by the picture or the price. Read the dimensions and product info. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
The wax made my cabinets look all streaky and wiped off paint when I tried to buff gently. Disliked this product. Was very excited to use it and followed the instructions to a T. I purchased it to paint cabinets (which is one of the recommended uses on the bottle). I painted two sections and allowed to dry 1 hour between coats. It needed 4 coats to get a nice even cover. I allowed the last coat to dry 24 hours. It was very dry feeling, but still looked a little streaky/chalky. I applied a thin layer or wax as directed with a brush, waited 1 1/2 hrs. for it to dry, then attempted to buff with a clean, soft cloth. The chalk paint was just rubbing off on all of the edges. Oops, I touched a part with my nail as I buffed and discovered it just scrapes off the cabinet. NOT AT ALL durable. The wax made it look streaky as well, and the more I tried to gently buff it so it was even, the more I noticed the paint becoming thinner and thinner underneath. The paint was literally wiping away even though I was buffing gently. Maybe okay for an occasional side table, mirror, or other decoration but as for cabinets or furniture that will actually see use, it is not at all appropriate. Not a durable finish at all. The cabinets were not primed but I did ensure they were clean and dry as directed, and it says that priming is not needed, so I can't see how I screwed it up- it is just a better product for decorational-only items, not for cabinetry. The only plus was the color- I used castle and it is a very pretty tone. Now, to try to sand the stuff off evenly and start from scratch with a different kind of product..... | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
Cuts very accurate pieces but has a missing strip. Makes very accurate blocks, all the same size. The die has strips that are different lengths for each "round" but is missing the last (longest) strip if you want to make the largest size. My blocks measured 13.25" unfinished. I had to cut the longest 13.25" strip myself. No big deal but I don't understand why that strip was missing. I also cut the 1.5" center squares myself because I wanted them all the same color and the die will cut them in different colors depending on the fabrics you have stacked on the die. I like scrappy log cabins so I had a variety of darks and lights on the die.
One reviewer said she didn't like the die because it cut the fabric on both crosswise and lengthwise grains. That is not correct. She obviously doesn't have the die or she wouldn't say that. I hate it when people leave reviews for things they never purchased. She saw the picture of the log cabin block and assumed the die cut the fabrics like they are laid out in the block which is not the case. This is a long die that has the strips cut all on the same grain. Accuquilt recommends placing the fabric on the die with the lengthwise grain so there is no stretch. You don't have to do it that way. That would require a 24" piece of fabric. I mostly had 1/4 and 1/2 yd cuts so I placed my fabric on the crosswise grain on the die and it worked out fine. I also prefer cutting my log cabin strips on the crosswise grain because it is easier to hand quilt that way. I hand quilt 1/8" along each seam line. Hand quilting along the lengthwise grain is a pain. Everyone that recommends cutting your strips on the lengthwise grain are most likely machine quilters.
I have been quilting since the 70s and have made many log cabin quilts. It's still one of my favorite patterns. When I started quilting they didn't even have rotary cutters, let alone dies. I used to tear my 1.5" strips and have piles of them in a bushel basket ready to press flat and sew the log cabin block and cut the strips as I made the rounds. The blocks usually wound up slightly different sizes and I had to trim them so they would fit together for the quilt top. After many years of that I graduated to rotary cutting the strips with a June Taylor strip cutter (which I love) and sub-cutting them into the appropriate lengths. This die pretty much does that but I'm not sure if it really saves that much time because you still have to press your fabric and carefully lay it on the die, etc. And, as I mentioned above, if you want a large block you still have to cut that extra strip that is missing from the die.
Oh...I almost forgot - I have over a hundred of dies and have been using them for 15 years. Here's a tip to make cutting fabric easier: Don't cut more than 6 layers of fabric at a time. Place a piece of copy paper on top of the fabric (under the plastic). The paper helps to keep the fabric from sticking to the plastic and seems to help with the cutting for some reason. I buy 11 x 17 paper for this long die. It's still not long enough so I place a smaller piece of paper at the end to fill in the gap.
I hope this review has been been helpfull.
All in all I'm pleased with the die but I'm not sure if the 1.5" strip cutting die would be a better choice. You would have to sub-cut them using the strip die but if you knew the exact measurements it's really not that big of a deal unless you had carpal tunnel or a reason you couldn't use a rotary cutter. | arts-crafts-and-sewing_painting-drawing-art-print |
