Cheap Folk Art 1664 Outdoor 2-Ounce Acrylic Paint, Metallic Copper
Product as described with fast shipping. Nice copper color. Stays nice in rain and sun. Brushstrokes very apparent in first coat, but second or third coat fixes this.

Xonex Big Art Set, 1 count (30126) Review

It is a compact, all around set. It has almost everything my little boy needed for his art class and it is easy for him to keep everything neat and manageable.
The 2 knots that hold everything together are a little tight so he needs my help to open and close it, which I don't think is a big deal and the chalks are hard to get out.
But overall, we both love it.

I bought this set for my grandson. It has 80 pieces of art supplies, consisting of every possible kind of of art media and tools--more than any ordinary art set, and comes in a convenient carrying case. He loves it. Highly recommended for a child--or anyone--who loves to draw, color and paint.Honest reviews on Xonex Big Art Set, 1 count (30126)
My nine year old daughter loved this gift. This was a perfect version of a child's "true artist" set. The fact that you can decorate the outside of the carrying case made it even better. For all you get I think this set was a good price.Wednesday, November 12, 2014
Faber-Castell Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, tin of 24 Review
Faber-Castell has always been my go-to for quality art supplies. I purchased the watercolour pencils, not for creating watercolour paintings, but for use on faceups (doll makeup) for my Asian ball jointed dolls. The colour glides on so smoothly, it's like a dream, with no flakes or powder residue like I've seen with cheaper quality pencils, to stain the resin or leave streaks where you don't want them. I get exactly the colour I want, right where I want it, without worrying about mistakes. Even if I do get a bit where I don't want it, a white eraser does the trick to remove the colour from the resin. Highly recommended!

This tin of 24 watercolor pencils is great for any level of artist. With such a good selection of quality colors made in Germany (not China, etc.) you can't go wrong at this price....And the shipping rate was unbelievable.Best Deals for Faber-Castell Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, tin of 24
The colors are lovely and the blend well. I love that they can be used as water colors and often use them on watercolor paintings to add small details.Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, tin of 24
These pencils enable the artist to sketch and experiment with colors and effects without undue worry that the piece will appear over-done. Once water is applied, the image can be softened or emphasized as desired. I use a water brush to better control the amount and distribution of the water.Thursday, November 6, 2014

These "elegant writers" are just the best for addressing envelopes! I have used them for about 20 years for all my holiday cards and gifts and rarely use any other brand!
Thank you!
This set has a good choice of colors for winter holidays and other celebratory events.
Cons: The tips appear to be chemically-treated felt. They don't feel smooth when writing and do occasionally lightly mar (scratch) the material on which they are used.

Best Makin's Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $24.99

I bought this because I decorate cakes with fondant and gumpaste. It's very hard to find the right tools in my area so I have to improvise. I use this tool to create different edible objects for cakes.
It's easy to use but a little time consuming. The press is like a screw...instead of just pumping the material out, you have to twist, and twist, and twist. The discs are great; you can create so many things!!
It is hard to clean, but my standards of clean are probably a little higher since it's being used for food.
Overall, I would say it is a good investment for me.

This clay extruder should not be considered just a toy. It is a wonderful accessory for clay artists, beginners as well as seasoned. It would be great if on the packaging there was mention of other accessories available and a picture or two of completed projects. That, to my way of thinking would promote sales. The Makin Extruder is the best in this price range, my opinion. Do buy one and search out projects on the net. Kids, with some supervision, with patience and a love of working with polymer clay would be amazed what they could accomplish using their imagination and this tool.Best Deals for Makin's Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder
For those of you who have tried to force hard clay through a sub par extruder you will love this! It makes clay extrusion a snap! The only problem that I can see so far is that the black ring that comes with it is awkward.Honest reviews on Makin's Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder
I bought this extruder from a local store for use with fondant and gumpaste. This extruder is definitely easier to use than the push models. The twist handle, though still tiring from the repetitive motion, is much easier and takes less strength. That said, the metal is very thin on this model, and the threaded ends where you screw on the cap that holds the disc are very weak. I knew from a few other reviews that this model was delicate, so I tried to be gentle with it. I wish I'd headed the reviews. Mine literally split along the threading during the second use, and I had to return it. I bought the Walnut Hollow extruder as a replacement. The Walnut Hollow has a more comfortable crank handle and a more sturdy, thicker metal design than the Makin, with all the same discs AND a plastic storage case. I'm more pleased with the Walnut Hollow extruder. Walnut Hollow Clay Extruder SetFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Makin's Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder
This is a wonderful tool to use with fondant and gumpaste. I have always hand rolled my ropes which took forever and never were perfectly even. With a twist of the handle and the right tip I get perfect ropes, hair, tassels and other shapes. I highly recommend this tool for cake decorators and sculpters.Thursday, August 28, 2014
Review of Palm Tree with Coconuts Cake Topper (8 Count)
I needed a little something more to add to our daughter's minion themed birthday cake and came across these. They are adorable and worked wonderful on the cake. I would have given it 5 stars but I found 2 separate dark black hairs intertwined in the branches of the trees when I pulled them out of the packaging. Not what you would expect, but I planned on washing them before putting them on the cake anyway.
I had some trouble getting them to stay standing upright but I figure that's my own newbishness since I don't usually use this sort of cake topper so I'm not very experienced with setting them in.

Best Art Alternatives Canvas Panel - PACK OF 12 Deals
I recently deployed to Iraq, and figured I would learn how to paint, I bought these canvases, to start on. It was a really good deal, I think. They are hard backed and thin for easy storage. Being the first ones I have ever used I have to say I am pretty impressed witht he product. They got delivered pretty quickly too, which was a plus.
Drawback is not being able to hang them immediately like with a canvas.
Tip: glue a string to the back either a short one in a loop or a long one straight across...or a peice of fabric in a loop or a peice of fabric with a soda can top on it (for the perfect hole to have it hang by.)

These canvas panels were as I expected. They work well for painting practice with both oil and acurlic paints. They would work well for childrens crafts, too. They are a bit rough to the touch but can be sanded down for a smoother canvas. I would and will buy them again.Friday, August 1, 2014

I had wanted these for a while, and I'm glad I got them. They are versatile and fit well to the projects that I do.

Another favorite of mine from this set is the "What if your fears and your dreams existed in the same place..would you still go there?"

Fiskars 12-92047897J Paper Edger Scissors, Ripple Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $4.98
Sale Price: $4.21
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

If you use these decorative scissors on 80 lb. card stock or paper of a lesser weight, you should be fine, but when I attempted to cut an edge on Petaloo Glitter Paper Sheets Red White Pink and Chocolate these scissors chewed the paper, but didn't cut an edge. If I tried to use extra pressure on the scissors, they locked up and wouldn't cut at all.
Another not-so-great feature is the short length of the cutting blades on the Fiskars Paper Edgers. They will only cut 2.5" at a time, so you have to keep lining up blades to the cut edge, if you want to cut a longer length.
The decorative-edge scissors that I use most often are Fiskars 98987097 Softgrip Pinking Fabric Shears, which are quite a bit more expensive, but they cut a longer edge, and you can use them on heavier paper or cloth. Unfortunately, there isn't a large variety of edge designs in this product line.
