This product does an excellent job of removing oil paint from brushes and knives and it has very little in the way of any offensive odor. Do yourself a big favor and get a brush cleaning jar with some wire mesh in the bottom. Fill it about 2/3 full with Turpenoid and it will last a long time. Ideally, get two and use the first one to pre-clean and the second one to remove residual traces. Keep you jars stored in a safe area so they won't get banged around so that the paint residue settles each day. Also, get a shallow tray (lined with paper towels) to hold your cleaning jars to protect against accidental spills.

Extremely thin. I would not even think it's sanitary to use as a changing table cover. It also arrived looking as if it had already been used and discarded - partially and loosely unrolled. I couldn't even comfortably use it in 5 or six layers, it's that thin. I can actually find no use for this roll of weird stuff.
1
Exactly what I expected! shipped quickly.

Great innovation--makes it so much easier to weave in short ends because the yarn can slide the full length of the needle. The plastic is flexible, which is also helpful in tight spots.
5
Great carrying case quite sturdy has the ability to keep the machine dusk free

Very nice pencils! I really appreciated that it came with 2 different kinds of eraser. I bought pencils for art class in college that weren't this good and at least 3 times as expensive.

Works great. Easy to measure the size of Kimohimo braids. I have a calibrator but this gives an accurate measure of the size you need to have for beads and connectors. The problem is, that more Kimohimo braids are soft and trying to measure what will fit is a challenge.

As a watercolor artist for quite a few years, I have learned that over time I really enjoy having brushes handy which can do multiple things. For instance, I have all different brushes for different applications- wash, fine detail, slanted, real hair, synthetic hair, short, long, thick , thin- you name it, I probably have something like it. However, as I am painting, I prefer to have a brush that I can get a nice thick line, but also quickly add little fine points, dots, or lines without having to constantly lay down my brush. I can and will do it, but I don't always find it handy. This brush, however, seems to meet that need. WHAT IS THIS BRUSH LIKE? This brush is natural hair brush which has a wooden handle with a clear plastic ferrule vs the metal kind. It is tightened by wire twisted in three places- two on the handle, and one on the brush base. The brush base itself is secured by two white strands inside the plastic. The brush itself is just shy of 7 1/2 inches in length. It is easy to work with up close if you need to. HOW DOES THIS BRUSH PERFORM? This is not a huge mop brush, but it really has a nice size to it for doing nature scenes. It makes great leaves, wide strokes for distant hills, etc, but then I can quickly use the very fine tip to draw in dots, lines, or squiggles if I want to without having to grab another brush. It keeps a lot of liquid up inside so I can use it a while before having to re-dip it again into color or water. I also plan to use this for portrait work as well as animal paintings in the future. I can see a lot of uses for it the more I play with it. CLEANING This brush rinses out easily and I store it to dry on its side and only store upright with brush end up when it is completely dry. Make sure to form the brush head back into the fine point when laying down to dry. THE BOTTOM LINE Very handy for a variety of watercolor strokes, I really like this brush. It can go from very broad to tiny quickly and holds a lot of paint to make more work time and less dipping time. This will definitely find a place in my most used brushes. FIVE STARS FROM ME! I will update in the future if there is anything more to add to this review.

great lining fabric will match from another seller.

Gorgeous, as always, Graphic 45!
5
Was great as a gift with coloring books for tiny tots, etc.. Love the jumbo coloring crayons for tiny hands.. They work great too..
5
Hmmm. This item is a "mixed bag." Some of the brushes are great, but others are too stiff, and some drop hair on my artwork. I have a feeling the stiff brushes will soften up (hopefully) and the shedding brushes will stop dropping hair.
3
Love it! I'm always looking for a great price for this tape. Can't seems to live without it for my craft projects. I have it in several sizes but the sizes I use most are 1/4" and 1/2"
5
Not as silvery as image indicates. It is more of a dark gray color. Still, they are seamless and uniform.
4
Love this stuff. Looks good and easy to use.

Amazing! I bought this after hearing a national teacher on a popular website for quilting classes recommend it for machine lace embroidery. I used it on 100% quality cotton that had been prewashed. I sprayed fabric thoroughly but not where liquid came to surface when squeezed out as recommended AND it dried before I got back to it but a light spray of water was enough to get it reactivated. So - my first attempt was not exactly per directions (as usual). Even with less than suggested, I ended up with fabric so stiff it sounds like paper when I wave it - stiffness equal to 3-4 applications of heavy spray starch. I can see where this will eliminate the need for 3-4 layers of stabilizer for machine embroidery and provide support for applique cutting on my Silhouette. I tried it on a piecing sample, and it stitched beautifully and I was still able to press seams open. I did further experiments on less-than-quality cotton, sprayed it before it dried, reapplied, etc., but was not able to get the streaks that others mentioned until on silk dupioni I did not get it thoroughly saturated - then there was a bit of a spot where product had not soaked in. Still, a reapplication solved that issue. It is perfumed, unfortunately, but scent is not unpleasant to me and is not causing me difficulty (there are many products that within seconds I start wheezing and get immediate headaches but thankfully this product is not one of them). I do hope they come out with an unscented version. I will post an additional comment after assembly in quilt and final washing.

Lots of ink. Beautiful colors. Easy glide. I just ordered 4 more.
5
I like it (not love) because mine seem to be more yellow than green or blue. It's sort of overpowering the other colors but it still is pretty.
4
Have only had it a little while but I like the side pockets and the larger compartment for your projects.
5
good paintable craft
5
Somewhat thin yarn but it suits the purpose for making cat toys and my cat hasn't broken the yarn so that's a positive regarding it's strength. Would do business with this vendor in the future as the yarn arrived in plastic, boxed, and undamaged. Thanks.
5
For the price I knew it was going to be metal, but I expected some minor flaws. Overall it actually is much better than expected. Good machining in the construction, a realistic brushed look, and it has decent heft. It easily fits in with the movie accurate replica's in my collection.
5
Didn't use the product since I had to return it because the package was missing one of the looms.
3
A brush for every element. I love the purple cloth case. Boxed in a gift set.
5
Works as expected, super helpful.
5
very useful and nice detail
5
Over-priced, but effective template. This thing is flimsier than I'd like, but it's held up so far.
4
I love these little bead caps. I will order again from this seller.
5
I'm not old, but I'm not good at threading needless anyway. I just got into beading and was having such a hard time threading my needle that it took the fun out of if. I was worried the thread was going to slide out easily of these, or the needle would break, but I've been using these for a couple months and haven't had any problems. They do bend a little on certain projects, but I had that with 'regular' needles, so I guess it's just an occupational hazard. They're great for quick projects, like a stretch bracelet, or longer projects. Overall these are a great product, and great purchase.
5
Pretty disappointed in this over-engineered punch that I coveted for years. Finally purchased it only to find that it is awkward to use and it does not cut a cleanly defined rounded corner. Holding it in one hand and trying to butt the corner of your cardstock or paper closely up against the cutting mechanism with your other hand is nearly impossible, especially if it's a large piece, and if you try to rest the tool on a firm surface such as a table, it has a tendency to tip over as soon as you apply pressure to it. Sorry i bought it.
2
I love this brand, it's one of my two favorite ones I use all the time. Let's just say it blows a certain other brand that's half the price out of the water...ABC may be cheaper but you use three times as much and the colors aren't as vivid...that's good for the kids but when you really want you projects to look great you need good paint and I've never had a complaint with this particular brand. The colors are always true to what I see online as well...that's very important when online...you really do get what you are seeing!
5
Works great, just doesn't work on Ikea glass pans (be forewarned). Otherwise, this stuff etches glasses and Pyrex pans GREAT!
5
replenishing my supply
5
My fault, not what I thought it was, but great fast service.
4
It holds pins well. They are easy to insert, and don't fall out. The glass head pins are nice and holding up well so far.
5
Product is as described. Shipping took months.
3
Just what I needed for my beading.
5
There's a lot less definition to the stamp than shown in the picture. I can't make a clear image no matter how much I try. Disappointing.
3
I have about four of these. One at the sewing table, one by my chair, and a couple in my notions bag. These fit well in my hand and have a nice sharp tip that can cut through the tiniest of stitches. Highly recommend.
5
I ordered these right at the beginning of their Chinese New Year so I knew the wait would be quite long. However I was very pleased with the size and quality when they finally arrived.
5
This product is as it is described - 2 yards of white fabric. I would have given this 5 stars if it had been a little thicker. You should know that while it feels substantial, it is see through.
4
just beautiful
5
I like all the different sizes. My sewing turns out better.
5
One of the best investments I've ever made.
5
They look like what you see but you can change there shape with your fingers because the metal is soft
3
Really nice needles! Feel good in your hands.
5
makes paper quilling easier.
5
my favorite needles!
5
Not as sturdy as i hoped but will do the job
4
Absolutely love these stamps! Perfect size to border a card, and so cute!
5
Why do the colors of these products have to be so awful? They make my eyes tired.
1
Best die cutter! It's a work horse.
5
I don't understand what I was looking at when I chose this item but I was under the impression that it came with 2 mats because it said EACH of these mats comes with 2. And I included a picture. The mat does what it's supposed to do otherwise.
3
Probably my own fault, but the plastic head pins I now use are longer............these glass heads are very short and harder for me to use......but the heads don't melt so I struggle with them when I know I will be doing a lot of ironing. They are great quality just not what I hoped I ordered. No one's fault but my own.
3
Wonderful. 10 stars!!!
5
It is worked by great so far! I works with a variety of embossing folders! I have even done some letter press and die cuts!
5
These pens are wonderful. Had bleach spots on My favorite black shirt and these pens covered it up perfectly. Also great for writing names on childrens clothing, can handle washing
5
I bought these pens on recommendation of a friend to use with my Cricut machine. Colors are bright and I feel they will be perfect for my projects. I would recommend this product.
5
This thing is so cute and I was excited to get it from my hubby for Christmas. It sticks to the side of the Brother sewing maching great but the bobbins fall off when sewing so I cant use it for bobbins. It is hard to get pins to go through the material so using it as a pin holder has not worked. It is too difficult to get pins in and out to be fictional. The slot for scissors is slim and does not fit my favorite singer 4 scissors. I ordered a pair of plain silver mini scissors and they fit. So now it is just a cute spot to hold my not favorite scissors. It I didn't destroy and trash the packaging I would return it.
2
Good price and just what I was looking for for projects of my elementary school child.
5
So excited to use this block! it's big & perfect!
5
Very disappointed with these. They are extremely small. They are the size of one of those rubber back you would slip onto the back of your pierced earring to hold it on. Small! Tiny little wholes in them. There is no way to get them threaded through on the same cords you would, say, the Murano Glass Beads. They are nice and big. These are not. At first look, I thought they would be the spacers for those, but they definitely are not.
2
Very nice stencils. Worked will for my application. (Glass Christmas ornaments)
4
I bought this and really like the way it works. You can make a bunch of great cards in a hurry with these dies. Would like to see a little more variety in the patterns available though.
5
Great brush. I found it cheaper at a craft store but if u don't have a craft store in your town buy it here. Comparable to other brands like Princeton and zen brushes. I use it for gouache paintings and some India ink.
5
good rivets used several so far no problems
5
While this is an great idea the tote is very flimsy. The lid pops off too easily and the handle falls off. I will still use it but it just isn't what I expected
2
This worked well, but after a 3rd of the bottle, it gummed up and would not squeeze out. I kept a pin in the hole and a lid on it. The concept is great - but this fell short unless you like digging in there and getting it all over you and your item.
3
I love this set which has neutral skin tone colors. Perfect addition to my collection of watercolor pencils. High quality pigment
5
Paper quilling is an old art that produces beautiful results. I saw some beautiful artwork on the Net that others had done. I wanted to try to learn the art without spending a lot of money. These quilling papers are the perfect colors and size. My order was received promptly. Thanks.
5
Nice quality satin ribbon. Tons of yardage. Great buy!
5
This is good stuff to work with. Dries REALLY quick though and a little heavier than I thought it was going to be.
4
Great! I got this because it was a great price! I would highly recommend. It works very good for all my cutting needs.
5
I needed something reliable and easy to cut the bottom off of smaller bottles. As one of the reviewers said I just changed the location of the cutter section and now I don't have to constantly rework my other jigs constantly to get to work. So much easier to find something that works, give it a tweak and get right to work when I have bottles on hand. Having to rejig all of these variations every time I needed necks, middles or bottoms was killing my hands and wasting my time. I cut 3 bottoms perfectly the first time out and the cutter is available when it wears out! If you do enough research on these things you begin to figure out; once you find a jig that fits your application most of it has to do with the user and getting used to the pressure turning timing down. I specifically like the hot water/cold method. I found the candle soot a mess I didn't want to deal with. Happy cutting

We needed a lot of black clay for an Egyptian cat project. My 11-year old daughter was able to get an eight inch high cat made with this amount of clay. We purchased a 2oz gold package too for the accessories. Once the sculpture was done, it was baked and came out wonderfully sturdy. I highly recommend purchasing the larger packages of clay for bigger projects. The 1 lb package was easily broken down and provided enough to complete a detailed 8 inch tall by 3 inch wide sculpture with a small cardboard core covered by clay in the center for stability.

This marker set comes with 50 different color shades. There are two markers for each color. These markers have a wide shade variance within each color. For instance there are 8 blue tones. The shade variance starts at a very dark blue and ends in a light baby blue. Some of the blues have more green and some are more of a true blue. You can see this same variety in the purple, pinks, reds, greens, etc. The colors with the least amount of shade variance are yellow and orange. While theres less variety in these two colors theres still enough variety for our needs. These markers have a fine point tip. They are great for writing or fine details. Weve not had any issues with the tips widening or fraying. These markers don't bleed through standard paper. If you have thinner paper it might bleed. We buy our girls card-stock quality paper for their arts and crafts. These makers don't bleed though card-stock quality. We do have some coloring books with thinner paper and while the color came though to the back of the page it didn't bleed through to the pages behind it. Bleeding also depends on the child, if they hold the marker down in one spot excessively, like any marker, it will eventually bleed. These markers wash off hands easily. My toddler is notorious for getting more ink on her hands than on the paper. Weve have no issues removing the ink from her hands. Luckily shes not colored any surfaces so Ive not had to test them in that regard! The only problem weve had with this set is with the handle on the carrying case. The handle had come unsnapped during shipping. Its very easy to reassemble the handle but it has since come undone a few times. The plastic trays inside the carrying case really aren't firm enough for repeat use with a toddler. I removed them from the case and I store the markers in the case loosely. The buttons on our case are firm and have not come loose or fallen off. That being said using the buttons isn't as easy as it should be. I would like this better with Velcro buttons instead. PROS: Great color variety Wide shade variety Quantity two of each color Washable markers Convenient storage and travel case Fine tip CONS: Carrying case handle comes loose Storage trays aren't firm Buttons on the case are hard to snap closed Ratings (Out of five stars): Color Variety: Shade Variance: Tip Quality: Washability: Carrying Case Quality: Ease of use and storage: Value: Overall rating: 33 out of 35 stars / 4.7 Star Average I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any questions about my experience please leave me a comment. I will be happy to follow up on my experience with this product. I received this product complimentary from US Art Supply for quality testing purposes; all opinions expressed are my own.

Helps with any beading - jewelry projects. I like to have several so that my projects can stay on their own trays, until completion.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this rolling crafter's cart. It has simplified my crafting life exponentially. I often need to take lots of craft materials and tools to different locales for classes that I'm either giving or taking and this bag makes all of that SO much easier! I used to use multiple plastic storage containers, with everything packed inside in no particular order, except wherever it would fit. The containers necessitated many trips to and from the car each time I had to (1) load up at home, (2) unload at the venue, (3) re-load after the class, and then (4) unload again at home. Whew! This amazing and brilliantly organized craft bag has simplified all that down to a science. The amount of storage inside, outside, and all around this beauty is mind-blowing! The clear vinyl, zippered compartments that are Velcro-ed to the interior are especially convenient. And there are at least a gazillion elasticized mesh compartments to fit all of the small-to-bulky items I could possibly need to take. Everything has a place and I can see where each item is at a glance. I can even fit my Big Shot, my 16 x 9" paper trimmer, a 12 x 15" cutting mat, a 12x12x2" paper pad and a host of other larger items into the cavernous center compartment, all at once and *in addition* to all the other little punches, ink pads, stamps, glues, scissors, etc.! The convenience is just amazing but it wouldn't mean anything if this weren't a well-made and durable piece. As far as I can tell, it truly is. The 360-degree wheels make for super smooth rolling and turning. The 2-stage collapsible handle provides ease of wheeling along behind OR gliding next to you. Multiple grips and handles on the outside help with lifting. The nicely patterned, wipe-clean exterior just adds one more thing to love about this great bag. I am thrilled with this purchase and highly recommend it. NOTE: I also got the matching Shoulder Bag for those times when I don't need to take all the big items. Or, the unzipped pocket on the back slips right over the extended handle of the main bag if I need to take both.
5
I received the set put out in 2013. Thought I was getting the 2014 set. Did not notice that it said 2013 in the write-up.

Love the product will purchase again
5
I love these! I was watching tutorials on using pastel pencils and while these are pricey, they are so well made! There is not a lot of dust, they blend so well, and I haven't found the need for a fixative on the images I've colored using these. They DO have a warning about cancer-causing agents and I do so wish I had seen that before buying. However, my husband reminded me that most everything does. I had received a gift card for my birthday and used some of that to purchase these. When I tire of colored pencils, I pull these out and am amazed at how well these layer and color. They also blend so well that needing additional items for blending are not needed at all.

Love the large spool
5
Gifts for Christmas.
5
Love these for putting bindings on my quilts!. Great price! Would like it if the sizes were shown (1/4, 1/2, etc) but you can tell were they are without them listed. Otherwise, perfect for what I need them for.
5
These needles took forever to arrive. I use them to sew crocheted square together for afghans and wanted an assortment of sizes. They do the job, but if you need them quickly to finish a project, purchase the Lion Brand metal needles instead, they arrive more quickly and will be more durable over time. Now I have both.
3
Perfect match for the watercolors I got my daughter. She loves this pad & we'll be buying more in the future.
5
Lovely set with lots of creativity choices! Love the packaging with heavy magnetic sheet for easy and safe storage.
5
So many colors at such a great price. They're all polyester and I ended up with more colors than I know what to do with. The most frustrating part about this purchase is trying to find the end of the strand! Great buy.
5
Awesome! This machine is simply amazing...it really surpassed my expectation. Thank you singer
5
It was difficult to choose a package of this bleeding tissue and I ended up with this which isn't quite what I thought I was getting. I plan to use it on silk scarves and the pieces will be cut up anyway, but the pictures and descriptions made it tricky to order. It will work just fine, this is a good brand of tissue. Not sure how they could improve the descriptions but I got totally mixed up with them.
4
as described and makes a nice gift too
4
just what I wanted, very good condition
3
Perfect sized hoop for embroidery.
5
Beautiful clear and concise pattern. Fast shipping.
5
Perfect fit on my tripod. Now my Plein aire equipment is complete!
5
The storage tubes will come in handy for my niece and her sister-who loves to do crafts!!!
5
This paper is excellent for acrylic - esp when adding matte medium to the paint. If I could give more stars I would.
5
LOVE these! they are the best! you can really see the glitter! the only reason i gave 4 stars, i scanned the picture that was colored with them, and the glitter did not show up it earns 4.75 stars really
4
great assortment love all the colors packaged well
5
It works well. Holds all my odd size thread that didn't work on my wall rack.
