Terrible. This was terrible I mean just really really really terrible I had my husband buy it for me, and I had to throw out most of what I made using it already.

Terrible for color printing. This paper should be avoided if you're planning to print on it. 3 of the 4 colors are far too dark for anything but a sharpie to show up on, and the "metallic" look is just a faint sparkle, not anything like chrome or shiny baseball cards--it's more like lip gloss, and at most is "pearlesc...

Do you want to lose your thumb and end up in a loveless marriage. These scissors are the bane of my art existence.

Lip balm made easy. Traditionally I get the blocks of beeswax simply because I didn't know this existed. Until now. If you're into making homemade lip balms like I am you just need to get this!

Stickles are better. This was my first experience with MS glitter glue. It was just alright.

Tired of Not Being Told Where My Product Is Made. After I received this item I compared it to another store bought X-acto Brand tool. Now I am questioning the authenticity of this item. The cheap look of the box and the material used to hold the items into place as well as the quality of the blades is leaving me to bel...

Very Zen. Very useful & reasonably priced (at least from this vendor). Check out several if you're shopping as the prices for the same product vary. The yarn winding is very therapeutic & easy. My mess of bits of yarn or small rolls are now all very tidy & even. This winder can't handle the bigger rolls, so you either ...

Simple to use but takes practice to get proficient if new to mat cutting. I was a picture framer for a while years ago but I had never used a hand held mat cutter, just the full sized kind, so I understood the concept of what I was doing. It does take some strength and manual dexterity to do the work the large ones han...

Great starter kit. When I opened the package I was extremely surprised and impressed at how sharp the chisels were right off the bat. Usually blades that are inexpensive require additional sharpening prior to use, but there were ready to go right away. My test was done on a piece of spare redwood I had in my garage. ...

Best Bottle Cutter EVER. I previously had the Generation Green G2 bottle cutter. I had this perfect idea for a friend to turn his favorite etched beer bottles into cups. Needless to say out of the 8 bottles I had, I only got 1 usable cup, and even that was a poor cup. I bought this Kinkajou back in September for my bi...

This Great Sculpey Medium Blend Clay Has Quickly Become My Go-To Polymer Clay for Detailed Sculptures. As of late Ive been going back through some of my many art supply purchases over the years and reviewing the ones that stood out in order to hopefully help other artists make informed purchases, and Sculpey Medium Ble...

Suncatcher eyes are my favorite. I usually use smaller eyes because most of my amigurumi projects are small. For larger size toys, these eyes are just under a half inch in diameter. They are safety eyes, which means they have a peg on the back, and a washer that locks in place when you push it down on the peg. I like ...
