I love this cotton yarn and use it all my kitchen and bath items! | 5 |
Beads are very shiny and that helps to make the very tiny hole difficult to see. Use fine wire gauge; won't fit on memory wire. | 3 |
great for blocking crocheting, knitting.. | 5 |
Very good box, the only issue I have is the latches don't hold strong enough!! | 4 |
My 8 year old daughter LOVES this. And I love how big this loom is. It has a big wooden needle that is so easy for kids to use. I think she will have hours and hours of fun with this! The only thing we need is more yarn! But, yarn really isn't too expensive, so it's definitely not a deal breaker! | 5 |
LOVE this product! | 5 |
another great thread buy from Amazon | 5 |
I'm a total beginner at watercolor, but even so this paper is pretty crappy. It's super thin with no texture and the paper breaks apart and rolls up with any bit of water put on it. It feels more like sketching paper; something that should be for pencil only. Yes I know it's not that expensive and I get what I pay for, but I will be using this paper for my toddlers to paint on from now on. | 1 |
Great for weeding my vinyl projects | 5 |
Another great kit of adorable ornaments to sew | 5 |
The 5th generation owner of Bernina was at a quilt show booth and the company is claiming the EverSewn brand is theirs---if it says made in China, it's probably because it's put together there only---but quality control and assurance, Bernina standards and engineering come from Bernina. This is a Bernina machine. Also, the same with the Brother brand, years ago Husquvarna? Viking brought the Brother brand and H.Viking features and quality became incorporated as standard features for the Brother brand. | 5 |
The acrylic paint set arrived well inside the estimated delivery date and well protected in it's packaging. Unfortunately I found the quality of a number of the paints is poor unlike their counter part 118 ml (4oz.) tubes that I can buy individually locally. These paints... particularly the brown colours but also a number of greens amongst odd others, were stringy, lumpy and gluggy and very unsatisfying to use. Out of all of them only the yellows, oranges and most of the reds had the same lovely smooth quality of the 118ml tubes I've bought. In my part of the world, the price for this set, even with the shipping cost, was still much cheaper then I could get locally and I still feel despite the poor quality of some of the paints it was worth it for the ones that are okay to use on the balance of things. My advice is if you can afford better then do so or be happy with a 36 piece set with only 24 okay paints. | 3 |
cutting mats are needed for all accuquilt dies....would be more convenient if they were packaged with each die you purchased | 5 |
the day tis item arrived, I was in deep need. again you pulled it off again, thanks very very much. das | 5 |
They work just fine. You get a whole bag of them. About the size of your pinky fingernail. | 5 |
This is a nice and pretty sewing machine bag. It's large enough for your standard size sewing machine plus has an extra zipper pocket on the outside of bag to put sewing accessories. The price is right and is made well. | 5 |
I planned to attach a small pine cone to the mason jar centerpieces I made, but realized when I got them that they were way too big. That was my fault for not paying attention to the size (large cones). They were still cute though just sitting on the tables. | 5 |
Great fall colors. | 5 |
picture shows 2 sizes misleading as you only receive 1 size | 2 |
Great find. Just what I needed. Arrived in a timely manner & as advertized | 5 |
Seem to work. | 3 |
This thread is absolutely worth the price-- it is strong, fine silk, with no unevenness or weak areas. It is equally suited to clothing construction and surface embroidery, and the color is absolutely stunning! | 5 |
I love this extra loft batting. It adds hardly no weight but really brings out the quilting pattern on a quilt. | 5 |
It was the right size for my soap project and the shape and form is exactly as shown. It came about 10 days before expected arrival coming from China. | 5 |
There is a lot of colors !!! | 5 |
Received the wire promptly, looks good, a bit gray because its not silver it is stainless steel. I will use it for sure, and if you're looking for a less expensive wire to do the same job as a more expensive one then I recommend this to you. | 3 |
This is standard plastic cord. Knots do not hold well, but will stay closed with a drop of glue. | 4 |
dries to fast to do anything with. | 3 |
I received sets 1 and 2 of the Hydrus watercolors for Christmas (thanks, Mom!!), so I've been playing around with them for a little over 6 months now, and absolutely LOVE them. They aren't perfect for every situation (like plein air painting), but the liquid base opens up other possibilities that traditional tube or pan-based watercolors don't have out of the box.
PROs:
The color is vibrant and highly pigmented, and a little bit goes a long way. You can easily dilute a little bit to get very beautiful washes of various shades.
These are also extremely lightfast (see pics!). Mostly for my own peace of mind, when I receive a new set of watercolors/inks/gouache, I paint strips of each color on a watercolor sheet, cover it halfway, and stick it in a sunny window for 3 months. Then I take it down and see how well the color held up to the sun's wrath. If you look at the lightfast test strips pictured, I included a comparison of elementary Prang paints (which go down very vibrant, but have no staying power--that grayish bottom strip used to be a beautiful red violet! These even faded through the paper strip covering the other half...); Koi tube watercolors (you can clearly see where the paper was covering on these); and the Hydrus watercolors (and a couple Dr Ph Marin's inks at the bottom), which didn't fade at all. Fantastic. You can rest assured that the colors on the piece you're spending hours on today will look the same 50 years from now.
The dropper bottle design not only makes it super easy to put the colors you want to use (or mix!) into a palette well, it also allows for easy (and super fun) drip-splatter art (like the galaxy art we're seeing everywhere these days)(again, see pics! :D).
The liquid solution lets you use these like an ink, so they are great for calligraphy!
CONs:
They don't re-constitute well. Some of the colors will, but many, once dry in the palette well, turn flaky and unusable. (see pic)
They aren't easy to take out in the field like pan or tube watercolors (but this should be expected, given that they are liquid).
Like any liquid suspension paint or ink, if you go long periods of time between showing them love, the pigment can settle to the bottom. If you're using them regularly and giving them a shake from time to time, this isn't an issue, but be aware of it.
Other notes: These don't lift easily once dry on the paper. Depending on your style, this might be a pro or con for you--it means they work realllly well for transparent layering (something unique to watercolor and ink art). However, if you drip a color somewhere you don't want it, you'll have a harder time picking it up with your brush after it is dry.
Overall, as stated above, I love these watercolors, and think they are a great investment for anyone looking for a fun, versatile, lightfast watercolor set for indoor painting or calligraphy. I'll definitely be investing in set 3 in the future. Hope this was helpful! | 5 |
I am very picky about the quality of my pins, these are exactly what I was hoping for. smooth, sharp, no snags. | 5 |
Little gadget works well to remove the little pieces of paper from dies. | 5 |
Really stiff, only round brushes in pack but gets the job done. | 3 |
The tape is beautiful and I love the variations in each pattern, however I am sad to say that it won't stick to any surface. I wanted to decorate a small grouping of mirrors with the tape, but it won't stay put on any surface I have tried. Sorry I couldn't give the tape a better review. | 3 |
Nice firm cutting surface. Works well when cutting fabric with rotary cutter. The measurement increments are printed inside the first inch instead of at the edge. This can cause mistakes in cutting (happened to me) if you are not aware of this or forget to allow for it. That is why I gave it a 4-star. | 4 |
Paint was dried up like putty I sent it back with a photo and they will not honor my refund. Do not buy this item. | 1 |
This a very nice compliment to the bead board and it helps me organize my project supplies. | 4 |
Love this product! Best Quality. Takes water color pencils to a beautiful level. No problem with buckling using the pencils | 5 |
Donna Kato is at it again. She has many books out on many subjects. She has incorporated so many different techniques in this one book. She is a talented artist and it becomes evident in this, her latest book. She sparks my creative juices. Great Book. | 5 |
I had tried to add lip cording using my zipper foot without much success. Ordered these feet and OH what a difference they made. It really does make a huge difference when you use the correct tools for a job. These were worth every penny and I can use them on both my Brother SE400 and my Singer XL400 machines. Would not try any cording project now without these feet. | 5 |
JUST WHAT I NEEDED FOR CARD MAKING | 5 |
I am so glad I ordered the 50-piece Gold Tone hypoallergenic Bullet Clutch Earrings Backs with pad and wonder to have in your jewelry box. I am constantly loosing the backs of my stud earrings. These earring backs are actually more comfortable then the original metal ones that came with the earrings | 5 |
Didn't find this easy to use.. When I was a child we made them with 4 Small nails hammered into a wooden.
Spool( the Kind thread came on).. Worked great! This one has curved prongs I found it difficult hard to remove yarn... | 2 |
Excellent die that I now use very often in card making and scapbooking. Cuts like a charme, and the different sizes are perfect to use for any siez project. | 5 |
Purchased for my wife the jewelry maker. She is very happy with the way it works. uses it 2-3 weekly. | 4 |
These work really well to connect charms to my new charm bracelet! I got the hang of connecting these after a couple of tries. It's like when you add a key to a key ring because you have to twirl it around until it is fully connected. It helps if you have your nails a little longer to get it started. These are way better than using the claw clasp things. They are truly STURDY. I did end up putting TWO of these split rings on each charm. I don't want to risk my charms falling off. It was worth the extra time for me to secure each charm with two rings. I recommend these to anyone who wants to attach charms to a bracelet and it would be great for any jewelry makers in general. I posted pics of the charms I attached using these split rings! | 5 |
Perfect and well made. Attaches easily and makes creating your own necklaces a snap. You can make so many different things, the possibilities are endless! Will definitely be a repeat customer! | 5 |
This product is awesome to work with! Love the texture it gives, and very little "leakage" under a stencil. | 5 |
Great Stencil. I've used it for my clothing with silk screen ink. I have no experience and it worked great! You can use this on many many surfaces! | 5 |
Favorite sketch books | 5 |
I have not used this new color yet but I may end of loving it if it is like the rest of Tim Holtz's line of distress inks. He has a good eye for coming up with the colors we crafter's need. I am excited to use it. | 4 |
Excellent quality...I have sewn for 30 years | 5 |
These mats do not have enough stick on them to hold more than 3 pages of cutting. It used to be they were too sticky, not just terrible. I"ll find another mat for sure. I will use painters tape for now all around them! | 2 |
Great product. I purchased several different colors because it is so useful. Turns any metal into a beautiful like new product. Can also be used on wood. After removing paint from old door/cabinet hardware, we used this to get everything to match. I purchased sconces which when received were not the color we expected. We used this product to get them to match our other items. Highly recommend! | 5 |
Love these balloons! I like to use them connected the way they are and draw a "string" from each balloon down to a stamped person's hand. You can also cut them out from the card front and then adhere the die cut balloons inside the card so they show through the openings. It adds interest and depth to your card project. | 5 |
I use this foil to emboss on my Cricut by turning the cutting blade up side down using an embossing pad under the paper. The paper doesn't tear. | 5 |
Good solid tabs. Will work best with thicker wick material - they curl up when crimping them onto thinner wicks. All in all though I'm happy with them | 4 |
These will be invaluable when I'm using sequins in my card making. | 4 |
just as described good quality | 5 |
I've been using this product with my cricut for a few years now and love it. The product came in an exceptionally nice packaging with no bumps or lumps. It was nice and straight and it came sooner than expected. I was very happy. I usually cut these in half and get twice the amount of use out of them. | 5 |
Great Transaction, beautiful die cut. | 5 |
Great bargain thread. Fast shipping! | 4 |
I bought these color applicators for shaping flexible molding paste and for sgraffito technique. These points are durable, flexible and easy to clean. These are a must have for any artist interested in making art with a twist. | 4 |
This was a gift for my daughter. She loves art projects and this one ties into the the theme of her apartment. She found it very interesting and seemed eager to complete it. | 5 |
Good colorful pencils for normal every day use. | 5 |
Perfect companion piece for the big, We R Memory Keepers - 360 Crafter's Bag. Very convenient on its own or used in conjunction with the larger, wheeled bag. Great removable accordion-style paper/card/page keeper in the main compartment. Lots of pockets. Exterior pocket in back can hold flat items when zipped or, when unzipped at the bottom, will slip over the extended handle of the larger, wheeled craft bag. Excellent buy. | 5 |
Works wonderfully for poster boards. Just what I need to do the job | 5 |
Kinda flimsy. I'm an amateur painter so works fine for me. But an experienced painter may want to find another set. | 3 |
Good price and prompt delivery. | 5 |
Ordered this item for my friend, and she's happy with it. | 4 |
great for my collage projects | 5 |
Great little gadget. I highly recommend for wire workers, this is great for the price, works like a charm! | 5 |
The picture shows them as being black and they looked thickly painted (I felt like I was settling and that they might look over painted and cheap) but they came looking more like gunmetal and not painted at all. In fact, they were gorgeous! | 5 |
Great transfers and easy to work with. | 5 |
Direct from this clever inventor, who is quite conscientious and accommodating concerning his product. Well made. Works fine. Have yet to know the longevity of the item. The Maker states that he stands behind the product. This inspires my consumer confidence! | 5 |
Speedy delivery, quality product, fabulous price. What more can you ask for? I will definitely be ordering from the seller again. | 5 |
Just perfect! After debating this purchase on and off for years, I decided on this one based on the reviews and I'm totally satisfied.
The mandrel is heavy metal, the measurement lines are perfectly affixed to it (reviews on other products said this was a problem on some) and most importantly the rings perfectly matches the mandrel sizes. | 5 |
Love these caps/makes beads look richer | 4 |
These hooks are my absolute favorite crochet hooks. I didn't realize just how much I was missing out until I got my hands on one and started using them. I try to make sure any pattern I'm doing can be done in one of these hooks! | 5 |
Wonderful book. Full of interesting ideas. Instructions along with diagrams (pictures) excellent. | 5 |
I love the way these work well with each other and with other "Wild FLOWER sets" They work great with my Big Shot. They cut very well I especially found it nice with the sticker back card stock. You can also emboss with subtle details to enhance if you have the matching stamp set. | 5 |
While the color of the seaspray blue is darker than shown on my screen, it is a very gentle turquoise color. The yarn is very, very soft, and very easy to work with. I have tried to show the color and softness in my video.
I work my yarn out of the center, and you can always tell a well-wound wool because it doesn't get tangled. This one came out perfectly. The yarn is loosely twisted, not tightly twisted, and the end was a bit frayed as a result. However, once I began to work with it, the yarn remained tight enough to work with. I did not have "extra threads" getting caught in my crochet needle.
I used a 6.0mm hook (J) to work it and began a soft throw/baby blanket. Both the color and softness make this an ideal choice - it would work well for either a boy or a girl.
The yarn lay softly in my hand and I had no problem with it stretching out - the cotton in the thread gave it a nice stability while the cashmere gave it a softness. I'm not sure what anti-pilling means, but the rows I crocheted did not fuzz out, they were simply soft without being fuzzy.
The closest yarn I have used to this I found in the baby section, it is that size and level of softness. I am using a solid double crochet and will need a number of skeins to complete my project.
Not a single piece of scratchiness in this - five stars for softness and ease of use.
I received complimentary yarn to test for my review. | 5 |
I've only received good products from eArt / Rubyca; this is no exception. These arrived in perfect condition.
I'm sort of wishing I'd ordered the 100 pack, hopefully to get more variety of colors. For instance, I didn't get a single bead that was true blue. Red, yes, white, yes, blue, ugh. On the other hand, the 100 packs are currently only shipping from China, while the 50 packs are available fulfilled by Amazon.
I've attached photos so you can see the styles and colors I received. I keep them on Housweety Ball Chains, with Pro Jewelry Silicone Stoppers to provide some separation. | 5 |
Ok product, can't say much cause have not used them as of yet | 5 |
love them, you have to change needles so often when you embroider so much | 5 |
These work well in terms of staying closed and easily opening, but they are much too large. I took jewelry pliers and made the loop much smaller. Otherwise, earrings hang down too far, exposing too much loop. | 3 |
Nice assortment well packaged just what I needed. | 5 |
Love these. Keeps spools neat, and that makes me happy!! | 5 |
exactly as shown, even to the color. cute. | 5 |
Works very well for heating up metal and soldering silver and copper. | 5 |
This package contains three different colored fasteners, all the same size, as written in the description. I purchased these for a variety of projects, but they became most useful when I decided to recreate a Halloween Steampunk Spells treat box created by Miranda Edney -- you can see her finished project here: [...] I used the majority of this package on that particular project.
To give you a better idea of the size of these fasteners, the matchboxes shown in this linked project are adorned with what looks like this Tim Holtz set of fasteners. I used them for my matchboxes and they look great.
If you're looking for a variety package of fasteners, with this particular color scheme in mind, I recommend the Brad Pack in chocolate: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001C2DY8K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_42. That package has two different sized fasteners -- both types are larger than this Tim Holtz Idea-ology set. Overall, recommended! | 5 |
I use this in addition with my mandrels. I like it a lot especially when I measure my own wrist and there is no one around to assist you. | 5 |
love love love these needles and cables////// | 5 |
Perfect for the Renaissance corset/vest i made for a costume. The boning is stiff enough to give it shape and easy to work with. I'll update if my mind changes afted wearing the vest for awhile. | 5 |
These inks are so versatile and the colors cannot be equaled by other media! I'm "addicted to using them! | 5 |
These colors are made of real rocks. The Amethyst actually sparkles. Mayan Blue is like looking into the sky in Costa Rica (well, I've never actually been there, but hey, I have Mayan Blue.) The Rhodocrosite is a nice, permanent pink, shading to burgundy. The Hematite is basically black,though the label is brown and I don't use it much, but it does granulate nicely. Piedmontite is a very grainy brown--like our local red mud. Jadeite is a very dark green, sort of like a bluer shade of Hooker's Green. If you like granulating pigments on rough paper, you need to try these. | 5 |
I love all the " shawl in a ball" colors. They are beautiful! The yarn is also easy to work with, which is crochet for me. Whatever the project, I can always be sure the item will be lovely when using this yarn | 5 |
I just purchased this mold two days ago. It came with a very nice box. I used it to make my soap next day and it turned out to be absolutely beautify. The mold is so nicely made and was easy to pour and untold. The soap showed every little details liked in the picture. I am so happy that I have made a right choice. | 5 |
my daughter in law is very pleased with this. I do not have any idea, that sewing machine is way to complex for me. she says she can use this much longer without repositioning the material than she can with her original hoop thing. anyhow, I got a big gold star for birthday gift from mother in law. so I have to recommend it, it was a very successful purchase for me. | 5 |
Love Clover hooks, just needed another one this size. | 5 |
I purchased this from a recommendation from a Pinterest post to add more stick to my Cricut mats. Works like a gem! Very happy with this purchase, saves me $$ on buying new mats! Highly reccomend, and will buy again!
Liquid comes out when pressed down, so the amount of glue needed can be adjusted for what is needed. Easy to use! | 5 |
