I bought these gemstones for making jewelry - I was not prepared for how beautiful they are. Mine are a little less varied than their photo - they seem to be mostly tan w/ dark lines or green with dark lines - that makes matching them up a little easier. The only little problem I found was that the hole is a little larger than expected - a head pin goes right through - So I've been using eye pins or a head pin going through a seed or E beads first. They have a smooth finish and are not highly polished - they have enough shine to make them stand out nicely. I'm Very Happy with these gemstones, and I will be ordering them again!!!! | 5 |
I swiped this to a women on face book | 4 |
Very helpful for using Copic markers. | 5 |
Good product what can I say its deli paper after all and makes great prints if thats why your purchasing this seems a bit pricey though. I only bought this because its unwaxed Costco has deli paper too 500 sheets for the same or less but its waxed only reason why I did not buy it, if it had said waxed on one side I would have purchased the Costco box. | 4 |
Very nice variety of sizes. Goes well with a lot of my projects | 5 |
As this is a natural product I was very worried about purchasing as peacock feathers can be very delicate and I worried they may not fare well in shipping. Overall these feathers arrived in very good condition with just a few small plumes breaking off the lower end of some quills. They arrived in excellent condition, ready to use and exactly as promised. | 4 |
I have a black, very lightweight cotton shirt that developed a hole from snagging on a nail this summer and I wanted to prevent the hole from growing any larger. I mended it with this interfacing upon the recommendation of some sewing friends and it works great, washing well. I wish they made these little packages of interfacing in black but the white wasn't too visible when properly applied. | 4 |
Unfortunately I found this to have a flimsy threader that bent out of shape the first time that I used it. I think I will stick with the cheaper ones that come in a 3-pack. | 2 |
Wow, this is great for cutting hexagon templates for English Paper Piecing. Instead of buying card stock I use insert in magazines and card stock-thick paper junk mail. Might as well put it to good use. One day these will get dull and when they do I'll use a trick my 87 year old mother gave me. Cut a few pieces of aluminum foil and they regain their sharpness. Happy punching (and English Paper Piecing)! | 5 |
Excellent tool. I like it. | 5 |
All of Bob Ross' items are great! I've been following him on TV, years ago, and now hope to get a large set of CD's. | 5 |
good Quality | 5 |
Great value. Kids love them, but they don't permanently stick to anything. | 5 |
generally considered the "gold" standard go tacky glue, and it is excellent for most projects, sas it dries fast and clear; but it leaves a glossy shine behind, which is a problem if somewhere it can be seen | 3 |
This works awesome to take patches off jackets or anything. | 5 |
I USED THE DIES WITH THE MFT STAMPS SHEET-GEEK IS CHIC FOR MY GRAND-DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY CARD AND IT WAS A BIG HIT. | 5 |
Perfect for what I wanted to make with it. Easy to use. | 5 |
Great for cards and scrap booking | 5 |
Absolutely adorable! | 5 |
I'm 5'2" and 35"-28"-38", which posed some unique challenges when adjusting this dressform.
First, the form is clearly designed for women with a smaller waist-to-hip ratio. Keeping the waist at the near-minimum while using the side dials to crank the hips out to the near-maximum resulted in an exaggerated bell shape. This isn't a problem for medium- or heavy-weight projects, but slinky knit dresses and skirts hang oddly. I might need to make a spandex bodysuit for the form and pad it to emulate the gentler curves on my body.
The other problematic area for me is up top, in the neck/shoulder/arm area.
- The minimum neck measurement is 14". My neck is 12 1/2". This isn't a problem 99% of the time, but it is for garments with close-fitting standing collars.
- The slope of the shoulders is steeper than mine. This isn't adjustable.
- The arm stubs presume an armscye depth of about 7" or more. On my petite body, a well-fitting armscye has a depth of 5 1/2". The stubs are 6" tall, so it's impossible to fit the armholes of my garments over them.
Regarding quality, the dress form is light yet sturdy. It doesn't look or feel "cheap" to me at all. I'm very happy with the purchase and expected the little imperfections. No mass-produced dressform can perfectly match every body. | 5 |
Love this set. | 5 |
This is an excellent medium. Very happy with it. | 5 |
This tool has no moving parts so it has few factors to use to evaluate it. The 'barrel' is a good size for my hand but people with bigger hands might find it harder to handle. What would be nice, and inexpensive to implement, is if it had a slot on the bottom of the handle to hold the starting end of the wire. It's only used for a few minutes when you start a new chain, but it would be useful.
The only criticisms I can think of are the instructions do not mention it is easier to start pulling on the loop after the one where the wire 'ends' Nor does it mention how to end a chain. When you've made a chain as long as you want, how to 'tie' the wire up? It doesn't mention that you can pull the chain through a draw plate like Draw Plate Round 10-32 Gauge - SFC Tools - 28-625 to make the chain thinner and the loops more even, and LONGER!
And the instructions show a chain with beads in the center -- a 'cage' of wire with beads. How does one do that? | 5 |
It is a mixer intended to mix paint in small containers. 1/2 oz, 1 oz. bottles, etc.,
It works very well however the one I received might be defective. The small disc at the end of the shaft comes loose. It sort of is just wedged/compressed on to the shaft. I have not seen any other reviews that have mentioned the issue I am having so perhaps I received a lemon, but the item costs 6 bucks? So I'm not inclined to return it at my cost. Maybe I'll contact the seller and see what they say.
But, despite that, it does mix enamels, which is what I use for airbrushing, really well..much better then anything you can achieve by hand. And when paint for airbrushing is not mixed really well and thinned as needed, it's almost a guarantee of lousy results. So I'm disappointed that the one I received is defective but I don't want to slam it completely as when it is in tact it does a good job.
So 3 stars is maximum I can give it. I'll let you'll know the results of my contact with supplier.happy painting!
**just wanted to update this review..The update really concerns the seller TCP Global, the seller i purchased this from...After contacting TCP complaining about the mixer being defective, I told them that I didn't want to spend the 5 bucks to ship it back for replacement...within 2 hours of my email going out..on Sunday morning no less...I received a response from their customer service team: "a new Badger paint mixer is on the way"...no problem. For me this is the type of customer care rarely experienced these days. When I'm looking for airbrush or related stuff Ill go to TCP first as my source. .. TCP has consistently had the best prices, the stuff I want and their customer service is top of the line.
5 ***** for TCP....4 **** for the mixer | 4 |
This was a great price for colorbox. It is becoming harder to get stamp pads at our local Craft's store, and this color (or any purple-ish color) was difficult. It is nice to be able to Prime ship this to my mailbox. It has the usual, good, ColorBox quality. A good purchase. | 5 |
Great for art and crafts | 5 |
Beautiful. | 5 |
Great Item, good quality pencils. Priced right too. | 5 |
Just the right shade of purple for the blanket I made! Awesome! | 5 |
That's a lot! Good~ | 5 |
Nice beads! | 5 |
i got today and real cool looks real wild life . i can't wait make it this cross stitch kit. | 5 |
The hook included was crap, but the book and pictures are good and the colors they included are vibrant | 4 |
Great quality for jewelry making. I use these for cord ends on necklaces and bracelets. | 5 |
Cute and high quality! Have already sold soaps made with this. | 5 |
I am in love with this collection! Now I own the Arianna Blooms Stamps, Arianna Blooms Dies and the Arianna Lace by Heartfelt Creations. It is one of my favorites. | 5 |
This is nice and thank you. | 5 |
Very satisfied. Three sizes work well with my sugar scrubs. | 5 |
Good quality for d.r. chairs | 5 |
The beads are exactly what I was looking for and they don't compare to the ones that I saw at the craft stores. | 5 |
A must have if you got a Silhouette machine! | 5 |
Love all the Pebeo products | 5 |
We are talking less than a dollar a brush. The nylon bristles work well, and the pony hair rounds hold shape. The hog bristle brushes are pretty rough, but even they can be used in craft projects. Not worth the original stated price, but good for what it is, and comes with a handy roll-up holder. Protective coat washes off with warm, soapy water. | 4 |
Great, I will be able to use them with fingering yarn for socks and lacework. | 5 |
Perfect for my daughter's crafting. | 5 |
this stuff is amazing i will never iron or press without it sure saves alot from getting burned also it lasts so long i use mine till you can about see through it then toss it id recomend cutting it for smaller applications so your not burning through it so fast and keep the thicknes | 5 |
This is a great product. I use it as a table easel when I travel. Wing nuts hold the extension pieces sturdily. Excellent quality, esp. at such a reasonable price. | 5 |
This are amazing scissors. I've had numerous pairs of Fiskars over the years and these are far beyond any I currently have. It's like you have a laser cutter in your hand. | 5 |
Would most definitely buy again. They are beautiful. | 5 |
I totally appreciate my new watercolor brush pens!!! I bought them to use on my hand painted graduation cards and wanted a bit more than my children's watercolor set provided. These have great colors, dual brush tips, stand up to added water for blending and look fantastic!!! Oh, and the added bonus of coloring pages that were sent to me online are really cool!!! Thank you for such great service. It's much appreciated!!! | 5 |
Did exactly what I expected it to do using patterned paper & glitter paper. I have not tried card stock yet. | 5 |
I love this! I mean, it is what it is, but still. Great! (too bad it didn't come with the snaps) | 5 |
exploded in the box, covered all of my products in glitter. none left in the jar. BAD. | 1 |
too small. | 3 |
Got as a gift for a friend and she loves it. Uses for her crafts just about every weekend. Giid investment. She wants another lol | 4 |
Nice for machine sewing knits and hand sewing | 5 |
purchased as a gift, great quality | 5 |
Love these pliers! Makes all my loops consistent! High quality pliers. | 5 |
These were perfect for my DIY Ornements, Thank you. | 5 |
excellent service, love these rulers | 5 |
This is a great cutter. I had one like it but it sure never cut like this one. It is easy to use and the push of a button drops the cutter out of the way for safety reasons. | 5 |
If they made this with a crank style handle I'd probabpy give it 5 stars. It's also annoying to clean, but with good conditioned clay (I use Premo) this often produces nicely extruded pieces. The larger holed discs and oblong shapes like the rectangles tend to come out very warped and inconsistent, but the circles of all sizes have made great consistent snakes to work with. | 4 |
I'm an experienced watercolorist. I've always worked relatively small, equal or less than about 14 by 21-inches. Thus pans, 1/2 or whole have always sufficed although I also have tubes and tube travel sets as well. Working outdoors, at about maybe 11 by 15-inches, with pans, gives me great pleasure. Sur le motiv and au premier coup. Start and done by late morning, then off to the coffee and sweets shop. Not that weeks and weeks of thin layers / washes stuff, in a studio working flat on an elephant as they say. Just me.
That being the case, I like this little kit very much. Fits right in with my stable of similars, Bijou Box, etc.
And, Sennelier colors are first rate. My only con is that I wish they had included a second, deeper and warmer transparent yellow. However, I bought one open-stock and popped it in the middle row. There's still plenty of room there for a collapsing, "folding", travel size 4 Kolinsky sable brush. (Can't say that about all other travel boxes. My Bijou came with a uselessly tiny brush.)
So, bottom line, I can pop this into a pocket, a water bottle in another pocket and I'm off carrying a cold-pressed, 140-pound 6 by 9-inch block. Happy hunting! | 4 |
These Earring Safety Backs are perfect! They fit any sign earring and you never need to be afraid you will loose your earring. You get a whole bag full. Great Price too!!!! | 5 |
Thankk you | 5 |
This kit is great for a beginner. The patterns are easy to understand and follow and the kit comes with most of the supplies you need. The only thing I had to purchase seperately was a small cork board. It was a very good price for what you get. | 5 |
These rulers worked great. Better than what I was using. | 5 |
Time saver when sewing. Highly recommend for sewing things that require a mess of pinning. No pins required with this stuff, and you can adjust it and restick it again. | 5 |
It gives quite natural look to painted items, and unlike folk art paints, it is shipped in bigger can for the same money. | 5 |
What a difference, kind see what I am doin now!! | 5 |
The pastel pens are terrible; the colors are ugly and by the time you saturate the paper with the pastel color you end up with a hole in the paper. | 3 |
I love these pens. I use a lot. | 5 |
Very nice pens. Slight bleeding if you press to hard. | 5 |
Not very happy with this. When you sand it, it just. Gets scratched off even with multiple layers. And once you sand it, it's not really black, it's more of a dark, spotty gray. | 1 |
Works great for my long dies. I have several and this mat is perfect for that. | 5 |
I am amazed by the quality of this punch. Although it is much more bigger than I thought, it is very easy to use on all sizes of paper and makes very sharp and precise edgings. Much better than I expected. | 5 |
The splatter set came with the top and bottom separated. I bought super glue and fixed the issue. Other than that, the splatter makes great splatter effect on my watercolor painting. I highly recommend this splatter. I deducted one star because it came as broken. | 4 |
Easy to use and useful; like the measurement gage for distance of the hole to edge of paper. | 4 |
Good quality tulle! | 5 |
These Collins brand quilters 2 inch flat flower pins, are the only flat pins that are truly heat resistant! They say on the package that they are, and I have noticed the other brands do not. I have used them for four years, ironing over them, and they are still great! Plus, the heads have never come off. | 5 |
Beautiful just as picture | 5 |
Works well, but I found myself wishing it was "juicier" while using. The tip seemed a little on the dry side. | 5 |
Great art bin for markers and pencils. It comes with a lot of dividers so you can easily use it to store small arts and crafts items like beads.
I personally use it for storage of my pencils, markers and erasers. I love hoe transparent it is because I plan to buy more and love the fact that I won't have to open it to see which case is which. | 5 |
They state you can request colors which is false, you cannot. | 1 |
Perfect. These scissors work great for small paper cuts. I'm using them for BOOKFOLDING. It requires a lot of small cuts. | 5 |
Perfect!! | 5 |
I love this light weight stand easy up easy down and the carry case is an added bonus | 5 |
Wonderful kit, easy to use and colors are clear. My daughter is 6 and just learning, so this small project was great for her. | 5 |
Beautiful. Very expensive looking | 5 |
If you are new to watercolor, it is hard to predict what will be your ultimate choice in paper. A great deal of your decision will be based on how wet you work and also how much scraping and scratching out you do. The wetter you are and more scraping and scratching you do, the more ideal rough paper is for you. Thus, in my estimation, rough paper is for the fairly bold watercolorist who is always willing to push the medium a little bit further every time a new picture is started. If you intend to add other media for a mixed media work, this paper is also well suited for that.
I do have one qualification. If you are working with any of these water soluble pencils instead of with a brush and paint, then you might want to select a different paper. The pencils do not work as well as paint with the rough paper even when you wet it. Arches makes the block in cold press and hot press versions and I would recommend trying them both to see what suits you best as a paper with pencils. This advice also pertains to those who are working with the new water soluble oil pastels.
If you are not new to watercolor and already like rough watercolor paper, then let me assure you this is some of the very best paper you will ever find. Arches does a superb job on all of its papers and with watercolor it is the king of papers. The 140 lb weight is ideal too. I love working on the block as there is virtually no buckling of the paper even if I get fairly wet.
Arches is a French company which is why they call it Aquarelle. That is what the French call the watercolor medium. The word watercolor has been added on to the title for those of us who are not French. | 5 |
Fantastic needle for free motion quilting and ruler quilting on regular quilting cotton fabrics. Bigger eye helps stop skipped stitches and greatly improved my fmq. | 5 |
A whole lot of crayons for about $.75 a box. Too bad I missed the back to school sales, but this is still a great price | 5 |
I really like this. I was using an old 44 OZ 7-11 type cup and this thing really helps in cleaning my brushes. The ridges in the wells serve as a washboard. The pallet top is okay. I don't think I like how the paint gets stuck in the corners while mixing. The paint however, does not stay usable long even when covered. So, a spritz bottle may help before you close it. Do not leave it more than a few days...
I like how you can stand the brushes up on the sides. | 4 |
Love the gelatos. Make watercolor more transportable. So versatile. Can use for misting sprays, stamping, coloring and more. Worth the splurge. | 4 |
This Stallman & Birn Zeta Series Wirebound is the best one I've ever had. Their smaller bound watercolor book, like most bound books won't lay flat, but this one is tops! Nice smooth paper that takes lots of erasures and comes completely clean. It'll be the first of many for me. | 5 |
Wonderful, love the double sided pages for my Scrap Rack. | 5 |
I was always searching for individual hooks in my sewing basket. This set is great.
Nice package of all the hooks so you can always find one for the next project. | 5 |
I bought 2 sets because it was less expensive than buying 1 set and a refill.
Both sets arrived, everything is perfect. | 5 |
Good quality. Same diameter and density throughout. | 4 |
I use my macrame skills to create beautiful crystal beaded window hangings and also for creative beaded necklaces which I made as gifts for my family members and myself. Next time I will order the larger roll. | 5 |
