This was exactly what I wanted and made the scrapbook look amazing! The paper was a bit on the small side, but that wasn't why I was ordering it so it didn't really bug me. I still gave it 5 stars because it did cover the whole scrapbook page, but usually it's bigger.

I would highly recommend this bundle. The pictures in the book are clear, and the directions are easy to understand. The tools are of high quality and exactly what I needed to begin throwing. The "solutions" guide helped fix all of my initial problems. The pictures and illustrations from the thrower's perspective make the throwing process even easier.

You can't beat the buttery, hand rolled, beautiful intense pigments of theses fantastic pastels! I have other pastels makes but Mt. Vision pastels are by far the best!

I've tried the blues in this set, but on an earlier pastel, I used MV's oranges and pinks. Gorgeous colors and they lay down rich and intense. Even received some of MV's other sets for Mother's Day and then had to buy a case for large pastels so I could sit and enjoy the display of colors. Only caution -you'll have to wash your hands more frequently because they are so soft. Great addition to the harder style of pastel. If they're too chunky for your use, a judious break into some smaller pieces works. And, oh yeah, they come at a reasonable price.

Honest reviews on Mount Vision Pastel Company 25-Piece Chromatic Set

Beautiful pastels, very vibrant, arrived unbroken and in good shape, good deal. They are medium-soft rather than very soft and work best probably for underpainting or the middle stages of a pastel painting rather than the finishing touches.

Amazing product at an ever perfect price. So pleasant to work with and so soft they are unbelievable. Never thought pastels could be so fun and hassle free to apply. My previous experience with pastels, lead me to believe that they were all just compressed pigment, hard and rough, however I decided to try Mount Vision Pastels, because a friend highly recommended them to me. And behold. I fell in love. Thank you Mount Vision for producing such a wonderful product, one that all artists can appreciate and utilize.

Reviews of Beadsmith 36 Piece Letter & Number Punch Set For Stamping Metal 1/4

Beadsmith 36 Piece Letter & Number Punch Set For Stamping Metal 1/4 Inch 6mm
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

Good: Decent tool steel. Effortlessly marks brass and aluminum keys. Haven't tried steel yet, but I'm confident they'll work well.

Bad: A couple of small rust spots; don't affect usage, but do make me wonder whether a seldom-used tool set is going to rust in the box.

Ugly: The wooden box is cute, but very flimsy the metal latch broke the first time I opened it and does not secure the punches at all. Once you've reorganized the set they'll all be in the bottom of the box when you receive it don't even think about turning the box upside down. I'd much rather have had a blow-molded case.

Five stars, minus one for the low-quality box.

As a crafter, I didn't want to spend a fortune on a punch set but I DID want them to work well. These are perfect. As other reviewers have mentioned, the set arrives with the punches all a-jumble, but it's easy to put them in the slots and the case is ideal for keeping them organized. I flattened silver spoons and put plant names on them for garden markers and these punches were easy to line up and made a nice impression,

I got these colors and another color pack from a different source. I was excited to finally experiment with a patina that would work on metal, since a lot of my work is metal.

But no. These are not patinas. These are paints. No matter how thinly I applied the product (which, by the way, can be thinned with water you don't need their special sealer/extender) I was painting on the metal. Even after drying it with a hairdryer, because I don't like to wait and then sanding it lightly, it just looked like painted metal. Check out the examples Ranger shows on their websites, as I should have done before ordering.

Oh, and don't be persuaded into getting their special finishing pad, or whatever they call it. It's just fine sandpaper. I used steel wool, fine sandpaper and even an emery board in my experiments, and they all worked fine.

But the pieces still looked like they'd been painted.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

These Vintaj Patinas are opaque inks that have been specially formulated to adhere to metal. Unlike Ranger's alcohol inks, these newly developed patinas don't require sealing in order to last.

They create colorful, interesting "patina" finishes on metal jewelry pieces such as Vintaj as well as any other type of metalwork. I personally feel that these Vintaj patinas have more of a painted look since they have a satin finish. To me, they look a bit more like enameled or even cloisonné finishes. For those projects that you'd prefer a more-authentic matte patina look, I'd suggest the product Sophisticated Finishes. While a bit more expensive, it has a more realistic patina finish to it. This Vintaj product is lovely for certain projects, though.

This particular set, Weathered Copper, includes three 0.5 oz bottles in the colors (moss, verdigris, jade) that would supposedly make up that bluish-green patina that naturally occurs on real copper over time. In my opinion, the hues they chose are much too vivid. For instance, one of them (jade) is a bright kelly green. As far as how to use them, you can apply them in layers, light glazes, mix them, mottle them, or just use one or two colors singly...make it your own.

These patinas are easy to use. Simply brush on with a clean artist paintbrush. You can apply it full strength for a more opaque look or else thin it with Vintaj Glaze/Sealer. This glaze can be used as an extender by mixing 1 part patina ink with 3-4 parts glaze. Colors can be mixed and mottled for interesting effects. The inks dry quickly (15-20 minutes). After drying, you can buff over the raised areas of the metal piece to uncover the metallic elements of the design. For buffing, you can use the Vintaj Relief Block or you can improvise. My block wore out so I just wrapped fine and superfine sandpaper around small wooden blocks -worked fine. I think you could probably also use one of those fingernail buffing/filing blocks.

These patina inks don't require sealing, but if you do the sanding relief afterwards to enhance the metal underneath, it's a good idea to use the sealer to prevent the shiny metal from darkening later.

*TIPS: Patina inks dry quickly, but will dry more quickly if metal is heated before application. You can also speed drying after painting by using heat gun or blowdryer. Brushes can be washed with soap and water...but do so fairly quickly or your brushes will be ruined.

This product looks nothing like a patina. It looks like paint from your craft store that is used on fabric and wood. Not at all what I expected when it said "patina".

this is the first time I've tried these, and am somewhat new to jewelry making, but on first uses, these are great. They have good coverage and dry quickly. The three colors are easy to dry brush over each other for a real vintage, patina metal look. I used them over brown alcohol ink on a metal finding in a recent project http://wp.me/p1H0jN-3k
