These are cute small rubber stamps of various animal paw prints. These come in a nice

oval plastic container and include a little ink pad. There are a lot of them but many are

too similar to each other. Each one is marked for what type of animal print it is.

I didn't feel that the quality of the stamps was there, artistically. I would rather have just a couple of great looking stamps than a lot of them, none of which pleases me.

This is a really cute idea and it almost works but not quite for me. Others probably would be very pleased with this and it would be a great gift for an artistic child. For what I had in mind though I don't think it works. For casual stationary or scrapbooking it would be very nice.

I took off a star for the duplicates and also it was a tiny bit overpriced.

These stamps are in a high traffic public use area and have held up well. I just wish they had the name of the animal on the stamp.

My students have loved creating their own "Field Guides" of animal tracks, using plain paper and the stamp pad, but they also enjoyed making tracks in brown modeling dough. I'd recommend them to anyone teaching nature or planning and outing with children.

Honest reviews on Hero Arts Ink and Stamp Set, Animal Prints

The stamps were perfect! They were just what I was looking for to give our children a visual of the variety of "footprints" that all the animals make. Not only are the stamp a great variety, they are also well made, they have clean lines, and they held up beautifully with over a hundred children using them!

A co-worker introduced me to Pilot Razor Point pens a couple of years ago, and I instantly fell in love.

I am a scientist, so I spend lots of time writing in notebooks, and I need a pen that is comfortable to use and writes evenly.

I like these pens because the ink dries VERY quickly. I find it hard to smear at all unless I'm trying. Also, the ink goes on very evenly, which is not the case with most pens that I use.

I like the feel of the pen on the paper, and the fine tip allows for thin lines.

These are the only pens that I actively seek out and hide from my co-workers! Great buy for the money.

I have bought many of these Pilot Razor Point Extra Fine Pens and used them ever since they came out about 4 years ago. I really like the size and feel in my hand and how they nest down in my shirt pocket without sticking up very far. However...they don't clip in you pocket very well. Mine were always falling out so I finally started putting a small piece of double stick tape under the clip. This worked good enough.

The ink in the pen is a liquid. You do not want to fly with this pen. The pressure change in the cabins is too much for it. I don't know how many times I would be making notes while sitting on a flight and look down and see ink on my pants or shirt and get to looking and discover that ink was all over my fingers and thus on my clothes. Or start to write and as soon as the tip of my pen touched the paper, ink gushed out because of the pressure inside the pen. At first I was hoping that this was one defective pen. But not so. All the pens are like this. I have banned them from all my travel bags and really don't buy them anymore.

Another point, good and bad, is that they put a lot of ink on the paper. I like this when I am using a porous paper like standard school notebook paper or something similar. However if you are making notes on a very tight weave paper, like vellum or tracing paper or the restaurant charge card receipt, the ink lays on top for a few seconds before it dries. This becomes a smear rather easily if your hand brushes over it.

I was hoping Pilot would improve this pen and I think that is why I have tolerated it for years but it seems they have not.

I love these pens!! I have had this set (and its original case) for many years; I took them everywhere I went and hid them from everyone! The colors are bright, vivid, and the color choices are great when you need more than your basic red, blue and green. The light blue is very crisp, clear and has ample pigment to show up on the paper...it's my favorite color. This set was always my first choice when I needed a colored pen. I've used them to color code my calendar, file folders, special notes and projects. The fine point tip is great for writing in my tiny calendar, but heavy handed writers may want another product...the tips are felt so they will bend with too much pressure. That said I had this set for at least five to seven years before my 7 year old daugther squashed my green tip and it didn't do well after that. A great value for the money, especially since the ink lasts so long. One note on care: Don't leave them in the heat of your car...I would still have mine, but I think the heat expanded the ink inside and they began to leak terribly--operator error killed the pens. LOL.

Honest reviews on Pilot V Razor Point Liquid Ink Marker Pens, Extra Fine Point

I'm an author. I fill up pads and pads and pads with notes. My writing implements are extremely important. These markers require the perfect amount of pressure, and leave the most satisfying amount of ink on the page. My hand and arm rarely wearies with them. I have tried every fine tip marker and gel pen on the market and am sorry for what I did. I will never love another pen again. Please take me back. Please.

PS for an ink pen my one and only is the Papermate Profile 1.4B, but don't make me choose between the two. Didn't you read 'Sophie's Choice?'

I like very fine writing pens because I often make small annotations, draft technical diagrams and ink sketches for which I need a very fine, smooth line and ink that doesn't bleed. That being said, these Pilot Razor Point Liquid Ink Porous Point Pens write smooth but the point, to me, is too thick to be considered a razor point. I draws lines that are about the width of a regular ball point. I bought the 12 pack but ended up giving them all away, my co-workers like them just fine so they're functional pens. I did keep one for thicker lines and fills, just don't buy them expecting a very fine point.

I bought these with my Derwent Inktense Pencils. The pencils need water to turn permanent into ink. I color with the pencils, and then apply the water. The waterbrush is almost like using a pencil. I can control where I want the water to go. This is very important in keeping the water in one area. You can buy different size waterbrushes if you want a bigger or smaller tip.

Definitely the best little travel item I've found in awhile! I carry this water filled brush with a 4x6 sketchbook and a couple of watercolor crayons, and can record impressions of a scene quickly. Best, they all fit into my purse easily. I have two sizes--they're great!

Best Deals for Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small

I highly recommend these in all sizes! As I carry watercolor crayons and use them almost exclusively in my artwork these brushes are perfect for me. These brushes can be refilled from any water source, whether it be from the kiddie pool, the hose or that water bottle we all find ourselves schlepping most days. They allow excellent control and awesome portablility. You can take them anywhere, be it the beach or a hike to the top of Cadillac Mountain to see the sunrise over Bar Habor, Maine and capture the beautiful morning colors. You just clear the tip with a simple squeeze of water and a blot on the back of your hand or a clean cloth (depending on what you have available). No more dirty water spilling all over from trying to clean all the paint out your brushheads. I feel you also have more control over the amount of water you work with too. If you want more water, just squeeze the brush. I did notice that with dark colors like black and brown,the bristles did become permanently stained, but that has not effected projects with any castoff.

Honest reviews on Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small

If this is the only water brush you can get, then it is better than no water brush at all. It is hard to squeeze the barrel and the tips of the brush wear out very quickly. The Pentel is superior in every way.

maybe I received a bum one -but as I work, the pen leaks from the sides where it screws together. I imagine this would be a great item to have but I can only use it as a regular brush unfilled in order to avoid spills.

I have been using Le Pen for years and love it so much I can't be without several colors. I don't think I knew what I was getting with this set. Neither end makes the stroke, or mark, that I was expecting--These markers seem to be a little dry. I'll still use Le Pen, but I'll just order "the regular."

This is my third set from different sellers and in all cases the fine tips are too fine to allow ink to flow properly or the ink doesn't flow at all. The problem is most noticeable in lighter colors in this set and all colors in the Pastel sets. Poor engineering design. Poor customer service you get a misdirected recording and then no call back.

Royal Brush Silver Foil Engraving Art Kit - 8 X 10 Inches Review

Royal and Langnickel Silver Engraving Art, Tabby Cat and Kittens
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I picked this up after trying out a similar but pricier kit made by Reeves. I prefer the Reeves kit, but it's considerably more expensive, and this is a much better deal for your money. I definitely like the dolphin design and it turns out pretty well. I definitely recommend practicing on the included practice board, however. The scraper pulls the black coating off a little roughly, so the edges of the lines aren't quite as smooth as you might prefer. It's also a good idea to cover the bits you aren't scraping at at the moment since the coating comes off very easily even when you're not trying to pull it off. The Reeves kit resulted in a cleaner, smoother picture and the coating didn't scrape off involuntarily in the same way. I'd tend to recommend this one as a good project to try out the engraving hobby and see what you think of it. If you're interested in a project to display or give away and don't mind paying a little extra for higher quality goods, I'd go with the Reeves brand instead. Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

Bamboo needles are wonderful, but they simply aren't sturdy enough for sock sizes. These metal needles are in sizes that can be hard to find, and the metal ensures they will last without breaking like small-size bamboo needles are wont to do. However, I've deducted one star because while the needles are colored differently for the different sizes, the color differences aren't pronounced enough to see them easily (at least not when you reach my age, lol), and there's no legend to let you know which colors are which sizes.

I have two sizing gauges, and neither one goes below 0, so I ended up using a micrometer (and honestly, how many people actually have one of these???) to measure the two smallest sizes (00 and 000). I have them labeled now, but I really hope I don't lose the labels. I paid a premium to get metal needles (usually, it's the other way around), and have to wonder if it would really be so hard to label the needles themselves, the same way bamboo needles are all labeled. Even if I had to use a magnifying glass to read the print, it would still be faster and easier than getting out the micrometer, reading the small print on that, and then converting that result to millimeters, all so I can convert that result to English needle sizes. I mean... really!

I am really rough on my bamboo needles and I started seeking out metal ones instead.

These fit the bill perfectly. And they are ALMOST perfect. The only thing stopping them from getting a 5 star rating is the fact that you have no idea what size the needles are without measuring. I expected a number to be stamped on them. When I didn't find that I turned to the box they came in and no indication of size there either. They appear to be color coded, so it seemed like one of those two options would have been obvious for the company to do.
