Cheap Magnetic Poetry Make Your Own Pet Stones Kit
Love being able to personalize stones. Like the smaller pieces you can add to a larger stone. Would have been nice to accelerate in paw prints. I think that would have been a nice touch

Reviews of Beadsmith 3 Piece Celestial Punch Set For Stamping Metal 3/16 Inch

I've used these a few times on both 22 and 24 gauge copper sheet (to try them out,) and they weren't the worst I've ever used, but they are definitely not my "go to" stamps. The moon and the star make decent enough impressions, but the sun stamp takes quite a bit of finesse! I tested the stamp several times on copper first until I was satisfied with my striking technique, and still ended up ruining a sterling piece I was working on. The trouble is in the detail. While I frequently use highly detailed design stamps, this particular one tends to skitter across the metal (even when it's taped down to my bench block.) This problem could just be me, but this is the only stamp I own that I have trouble with. Anyhow, if you're looking to get a budget set, these might be worth grabbing if only for the moon & star stamps just make sure to strike hard!

This3 piece Celestial Punch Set for Stamping Metal 3/16" 5mm by Beadsmith offers a sturdy design of the punch area, hardened to punch softer metals without suffering design breakage, like some punches that have very thin stick drawing type designs that will chip off and loose the ability to give the desired punch relief. The will each hold up for a long time if used correctly on softer metals, but don't think they will if used on steel or other hard surfaces.Best Deals for Beadsmith 3 Piece Celestial Punch Set For Stamping Metal 3/16 Inch

These are beautiful! We used them as lap markers when we built a replica of the Circus Maximus, and everyone loved them. Nice 3-D (not flat) beads, fine detail....my daughter ran off with what was left of them so she could put them on her friendship bracelets.

I ordered these painting knives for a friend who is an artist. When they came in I was disappointed that the packaging was torn up and looked like it had been opened.
The knives themselves we flimsy and poorly put together.
Basically, these reminded me of something I would find in the clearance bin at the Dollar store.

DecoArt 8 Pot Set Glamour Dust Glitter, Everyday Glamour Reviews
I ordered this thinking its glitter dust and not paint. When this arrived I realized its not it's paint and it's not even of good quality. Good for kid's craft I guess. Also the packaging wasn't good and the paint had spilled out of the little containers.Really like the shimmer in this product. It goes on easily and covers well for a translucent paint. Great on Christmas ornaments as they really do shimmer and shine with the light. Good colors supplied and easy to use. Takes a little longer to dry than some of the other types but not to the point of being a problem. Would love another selection of colors.

Spellbinders Flower Pots Review

List Price: $24.99

These die cut pots are awesome and larger than expected. The only problem is there are no directions on how to get them to look like those pictured. The metal dies are elongated and do not look like the image. After studying the picture and the die cuts I made for long, disappointed hours, I FINALLY realized I needed to cut off the top of the pot where there is an indentation, flip it over and attach it separately to the bottom. NOWHERE is this explained! I realized this by the odd shape of the top ridge of the pot when looking really close. Ultimately, these are great and look wonderful with textured cardstock. The large one is too big to fit on a cardfront and I probably will not use it.

I was so excited to order these then... disappointed when they arrived. They do not cut like the picture on the packaging. There is not a center embossed line so really the pot looks like a rectangle with tiny indents at the sides. I do not know how they took those pictures using the dies.

This kit is really easy to use it would even be suitable for children 10 and up imo. There was barely enough dark green fabric but far too much medium green fabric. I suspect there was either a mixup either in the fabric cuts or in the labeling of the patterns. It wasn't a problem though. I would definitely buy Quilt Magic kits again!
However I love it.

Dear artsavedmylife-
We are very sorry that you had a bad experience with your Speedball Screen Printing Kit. While screen printing does require some trial and error, we strive to make the kits complete, fun, and easy to use. Unfortunately, we have not found a way to make them foolproof. Your comments regarding the instructions are well-taken and we have tried to make them easier. To that end, we now include a free instructional DVD in the kit. If you contact me directly, I would be happy to send you the DVD as well as some additional supplies to see if they perform better for you. We include our toll free number in every kit and have people available to help anyone who is having difficulty with our products.
The Ultimate kit does indeed come with 2 different size screens as described on the package. One 8x10 screen and one 10x14 screen provides flexibility and the opportunity to work with 2 screens simultaneously if the printmaker desires. We make many other sizes, but these are two of the most popular. There are also two 9 inch squeegees (referred to as 'scrapers'). One is designed to lay down a heavier layer of ink for printing on fabric, while the other is designed for printing on paper and similar less porous materials. The 9 inch squeegee is the optimal size to print across the width of the 8x10 screen and lengthwise in the 10x14 screen. With this combination you can print either size on both fabric and paper.
You don't need to coat the screen in the dark when using Speedball photo emulsion. We coat screens every day in our lab, at home, in schools, and at printmaking studios around the country in broad daylight with no difficulty. Just be sure to let it dry in a dark place like a cabinet or closet. Once dry, you have a couple minutes in the light before you begin the exposure so there is no need for a darkroom.
It is a real mistake to disparage the "other screen methods" as arts and crafts or child's projects. One need only see the screen prints of Henri Matisse or Jacob Lawrence to learn what an artist can create out of simplicity.
Speedball was the pioneer of water-based screen printing nearly 40 years ago. At a time when other available screen printing materials were harsh, solvent based chemicals, Speedball invested heavily in the research and development of safe, easy to use screen printing materials to complement their water-based relief printing inks. Although we have worked with thousands of students, art educators, and professional artists; we clearly have room to improve and appreciate your feedback.

This was a Christmas gift for my 23 year old daughter. She has never screen printed but is a professional dancer and full time adult artsy kid. She watched the DVD and within 24 hours "smudgy panda" was printed on everything she could get under the screen. Yep there was a learning curve--hence the name of the Panda but it was steep and only a few smudgy panda's were actually smudgy. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an entry into silk screening.Best Deals for Speedball Ultimate Screen Printing Kit

it shipped quickly and I will be able to get aquainted with every type of screen printing. I will say that ordering this product when it is warmer outside would be best.
