I don't learn from reading. I learn from being taught in real life, by a real person. Well this book taught me. This book is definitely for anyone who is just like me. It is amazing and i cannot believe it but i'm tatting. I picked it up and did it like i always just knew how and could. I will post some images from all i've done in about 3 days of having this book. I'm hooked and i would have payed upward of $50 for this book. Amazing. I'll be using tatting in jewelry making, crazy quilting and much more.

This was a really great, easy way to learn needle tatting. I started with the bookmark as my first "project". I have never needle tatted prior to this. I do crochet some but I am no where near skilled when it comes to that. I did learn how to do that from a book when I was pregnant with my daughter (she is 8 now) and I figured if I could learn that from a book, I may be able to do this as well.

The instructions in this book were very clear and the pictures were super helpful. The book goes through a step by step process and teaches you the basics and slowly introduces the abbreviated pattern instructions. The way the whole thing was put together couldn't have been better, in my opinion. The only thing that could have made it better is if Barbara Foster herself was sitting next to me giving me step by steps.

My little bookmark came out perfectly and looked just like the picture, I honestly couldn't be more pleased.

Clear instructions with good pictures for visual learners. This was so simple that I was on the internet looking for new patterns within two hours. A very good explanation and instructions. Since the needles were included with the set I didn't have to go searching for them elsewhere and the multiple sizes of the needles will keep me going for a long time.

I loved this picture and couldn't wait to start on it when it arrived but after 2 days of trying to figure out the colors of thread, I'm left with nothing but frustration. The colors are so close that it is impossible to decide which is beige, or pale or light brown. A few are easy, like ecru, since there are more of that than anything else and you can go by the number of yards, but determining which are ecru and which are pale something is still difficult. And while I'm not done yet, I'm sure there are some colors completely missing. I have worked with kits with a lot of threads before but they are divided into bundles and listed as being with the white, or black, or red, etc and similar colors are not in the same bundle, making it easier to figure out which is which.

This piece is beautiful. However, the colors came completely unsorted, and I spent 2 frustrating days trying to sort out the 52 colors (all of which, as you can probably guess by looking at the stock photo, are similar in shade).....which weren't all there. They also give you 3 cards with 12 holes each....which as I'm sure you can figure out, doesn't add up to 52 open spots. And after talking with Bucilla's customer service, I'm going to end up going out to my local craft store to get the colors NOT included. I would love to give this 5 stars, but with Bucilla's lack of customer service and the frustration of trying to sort the colors which weren't all included, I just can't.

Cheap Sanford Prismacolor Scholar Brush Marker, 10-Pack

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $17.29
Sale Price: $12.97
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I really love the Prismacolor dual tip brush pens that retail for $5.99 each... so when I saw these water-based brush tip markers for such a cheap price on amazon I decided to try them out. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The brush tips on these markers are about 50% smaller/thinner than the dual tip pens and not as soft so much less like painting and more like a somewhat flexible felt tip pen. The tips are sharp and thin enough to make a really thin line with a steady hand.

The target market for these markers are school age children. As far as age is concerned I believe it would very much depend on the child. I have 7 year olds and a 4 year old that I would not let use these markers because they would destroy the brush tips in 5 minutes or less. If you know your child is rough on markers, then I suggest you save a few $ and opt for a big cheap $3 set from a big box store that they can use till they are broken. On the other hand, if your child is already doing art with fine details and gentle with pens then s/he will love these.

If I had received a set of markers like these in highschool I would have been stoked.. and I was big into art. These are great for coloring manga or comics for adults or older kids and a lot cheaper... just be careful if you're coloring the same work with alcohol based pens as the ink from these can smudge slightly if you overlap onto it.

I am extremely pleased with these markers... I only wish there were more colors.

i thought they would be more blendable, i'm kind of disappointed in prismacolor which sucks cuz i live by their products as an artist. very nice, fine brush tip though, can get a variety of widths and line quality. this is the first set of artist grade markers i've bought so i guess its okay.

Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Wallet Sets black set of 8 Review

These pens are just awesome. Great selection of tips and I love the ink. They feel great while you hold them, but they are a bit small if you don't put the cap on the top while you use them. There are other brands of pens that might be cheaper for inking, but I have used many Faber-Castell products and the quality is just top notch and I really appreciate that. Definitely recommend this for Inking your drawings.

The pens work great, smooth, even flow of ink, no spotty coverage. However I am slightly disappointed in the strength of the ink itself. While it is indeed black, it covers the paper more like watercolor paint. If I want a solid black area without streaks, I have to go over it more than once. The ink coats more like a wash rather than pen ink. To really achieve a uniform coverage, I end up scanning my pictures into my computer and retouching them with a photo program to darken the black areas.

I have used the pens on two different brands and grades of paper Strathmore Sketch 50lb, and Bonjour Studios Acid Free 70lb. No bleeding on either type. However with the rougher 70lb paper, the 0.1mm pen does seem to "scratch" over the surface, but not very noticeable and still produces that incredibly fine line.

Overall, the pens suit the projects I use them for; they are great quality. I would have given a full 5-star rating if it weren't for the washed-out look of the ink.

I'm a casual comic-book/storyboard artist who has had some experience with inking pens.

These do a great job, they write smooth, and have very minimal bleed.

A great selection for the price too, the larger ones work great for filling, and creating backgrounds, where as the smaller ones can achieve very fine detail ( i.e. freckles, eyelashes etc.)

I had to have the box handy for a while till I remembered what style and size each pen was. Obviously some are intuitive like XS and M. But others like SB, SC, and F were new to me.

Overall a great set and highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Wallet Sets black set of 8

This pen pack is the perfect one for amateurs and professionals alike. While professionals will have their preferences (and they are usually expensive) these pens can be thrown in a bag or purse and taken alone with a sketch pad without issue. Their quality is more than you could ask for a dollar and change per pen. So I'd suggest that anyone who is looking for a starter set or a travel set pick these up. Even if you're buying this as a present to yourself of a loved one, these pens will help an amateur figure out which pens work best with his/her style, so that you don't waste money on more expensive drawing implements.

Discount Derwent Pencil Sketching Wallet

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $29.11
Today's Bonus: 35% Off

Hi, I also wanted to know the dimensions. From the Derwent website I found the following information. Note the measurements at the bottom 9 1/2 by 7 by 1 1/2. I didn't know how to rate it, since I have not bought one yet.

The Derwent Sketching Wallet contains a broad selection of sketching media including:

5 Derwent Graphic Pencils perfect for initial sketches

2 Derwent Watersoluble Pencils with a soft wide core they are ideal for dramatic bold sketches and by just adding water you can bring a subtle dimension to your drawing

1 Derwent Onyx Pencil even darker than a 9B; a Derwent Pencil Blender for softening harsh lines

1 Derwent Charcoal Pencil traditional charcoal in a convenient and less messy pencil form

3 Tinted Charcoal Pencils charcoal with a subtle hint of colour; an eraser and pencil sharpener and finally an A5 Sketch Pad containing 30 sheets of acid free 165gsm paper.

The paper in the Sketch Pad is classified as heavy weight which means it can take 10 layers of pencil before the paper deteriorates, it can also be used for light washes. All these sketching materials are encased in a smart and practical black fold-over wallet with Velcro fastening. When shut the wallet measures just 9½˝ (24cms) by 7˝ (18cms) and is only 1½˝ (3.5cms) deep perfect for slipping into your backpack.

the first picture shows an entirely different Derwent pencil set--the coloursoft collection. It is unclear which item is being sold the one that is in the title or the one pictured. There are no dimensions included in the product description to indicate the size of the item--though in the only customer review it is mentioned that it could be thrown into a backpack? seller needs to improve photo of product to correctly indicate the product for sale and include more information in the description. THE ACTUAL PRODUCT MADE BY DERWENT IS A GREAT PRODUCTI checked it out at my local art and hobby store. However I gave one star for the sellers poor and misleading advertisement! Amazon should look into this and make the proper corrections.

Review of All Occasion Magnetic Stamp Sayings // Making Memories

Customer Ratings:

I started with the Making Memories stamper and the Rampage magnetic alphabet. Magnetic stamps! I love it's versatility. I was hesitant to buy the phrases because I thought I could just spell it out with my alphabet. But after some time, I was tired of that font and borrowed a friends Making Memories magnetic stamp sayings called Express It. I LOVED it!

I went on a hunt, and found more: All Occasion, Holiday, and Ornaments Classic. I bought all of them to add to my stamping collection. There is another alphabet set by Making Memories called Evolution...but have yet to find it or purchase.

Making Memories no longer makes this product! A friend tried to find the stamper and had to go to eBay to get it.

So glad I started my collection early :)

I purchased this item at a local store and I love the coverage that they give. Most glitter pens like these will come back up when you're trying to fill in something. Martha's glitter pens are intense. I've use them on white to off white colored cardstock and was very pleased with the results. I ordered another expensive brand and there's no comparison. Martha's beat the other brand hands down. I will order her other color spectrum too.

I really liked this kit for the pictures that the child can paint. However, I gave it three stars because the child I bought this for is eight years old and is just starting to paint. I thought this was a simple paint by number; but there were certian colors that needed to be mixed. For a child his age, this became a slight fustration because this was his first experience as a painter and he couldn't get the exact color consistantly every time. For a child who is more comfortable with a lot of painting, this is a great set. I would have liked to have known there were some colors that needed to be mixed before I bought this.

Both of the small carving saws broke during their first use. I broke one and figured it was a fluke, then several minutes my friend broke theirs. These are not the quality I was expecting.

Looking at the photos I thought this was going to be a higher quality item. Given the price and photos I was assuming it had wood handles, it arrived and was a plastic set (metal blades) not too different from the cheapies you see everywhere. Looks perfectly functional just a bit dissappointed it wasn't of higher quality.

Honest reviews on Grampa Bardeen's Family Pumpkin Carving Set

I was trying to find a quality product that would last my family through years of pumpkin carving. This set looked like it fit the bill. We enjoyed carving pumpkins with the tools. Unfortunately, two of the thin/small saws broke off at the handle.

On the good side, there are multiple saws in the set, so we have back-ups. The other tools work well and there are many more tools than can be found in a standard "grocery store set". There are multiples of many tools so a family can all carve at the same time. I was also pleased to find that it was a family owned company making a product in the USA. The set comes with multiple patterns to use and a sturdy box that will last for years.

UPDATE: I contacted the company (Grampa Bardeens) about my broken saws and received an email back right away. He explained that the smaller saws were detail saws and may break if used improperly or on a very tough pumpkin. They will be replacing my two broken saws ASAP. I was super pleased with the customer service of this small family-owned company. I'm very happy and would recommend this product.

This was my second carving party to attend. I knew that I would need all the help I could get for the first time, these tools made it easy. They fit in your hand like they were custom fitted and the size, length and strength of each tool was amazing as they cut the pumpkin like "budda". I had been using those small, hard to use, cheaply made,carving tools. Pumpkins were "ho hum"...boring. Not any more! These babies made it easy and my hand was not worn out. Now I can get serious with pumpkin carving designs. Folks at the party who borrowed a tool will no doubt be getting a set too. Love me some Grampa Bardeen!
