Derwent 72 Inktense Block Tin Set Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $205.99
Sale Price: $94.33
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

These are unique. Water-soluble ink in blocks the size of pastel sticks. Many vivid colors. Versatile and easy to work with. They make a great portable sketching kit. This and a few water brushes are all you need!
It is INK, so it sticks to any absorbent ground... paper, clayboard, canvas. It is one of the few pigment mediums that will adhere to Yupo fairly well. Once it is THOROUGHLY dry, it is waterproof. That makes these great for under-drawings!
The colors flow like watercolor in thin washes, or become as opaque as gouache when applied thickly.
You can draw with them, then add water to melt and blend colors. You can shave away pigment with a knife or sandpaper to create new color-mixes and add water to make beautiful effects.
Having raved about the quality and the value, I can only make one small complaint. Though this deluxe collection with all the colors is very nice to have and a good deal, you don't need all those colors. I suggest you start with a smaller assortment like I did. Then, if you find them useful, you could invest in more colors. As it is, no-one sells open stock versions of the other colors, so the only way to get some of the colors is in this large package. That's a shame, since some colors are obviously more useful than others and people always have their own favorites.
HEY! DERWENT! Start selling these individually!
Other than that, I can find no fault with this unique product. They are one of the best inventions in art materials in the history of human endeavor.
These are fantastic for working on fabric. I am very impressed and really enjoy working with them. Thank you for a great product..

I have been an artist for as long as I have been alive, so when a new and wonderful creative toy comes along I just have to try it. Well, I love these Inktense pencils and blocks! Pen and ink work was never so much fun! And an added bonus is that I can use these to color work I have done on wood. The colors are brilliant and, on wood, they allow the grain to show through. They are permanent, so I can put a finish on my work without worrying about it running. Only con is that a few of the colors are not as lightfast as others.Best Deals for Derwent 72 Inktense Block Tin Set

Cheap Deco Art - Glass Paint Marker 1/Pkg
I bought this pen for a craft project. I planned to use it to write some words on a ceramic travel mug. The paint flowed very well and covered perfectly. I cured it per the instructions (I am a ceramist that means I have an advanced materials engineering degree, with a focus in ceramics), and I'm an amateur potter. So, on two counts I should've been able to get this right. I was a bit concerned about using this pen on a previously glazed surface, but the reviews were generally great, and the product specifically indicated it could be used on glazed surfaces.
Fast forward (not much)... 3 washings, by hand, no abrasives or "scrubby" sponges... my friend told me more than half of the writing is gone. Not faded, gone.
Fast forward again... 2 more washings, again by hand, and all the writing is gone. Poof!
Well, at least she likes the mug.
I would not recommend this pen for anyone who is doing a project unless:
1) the object will not be washed after curing
2) you paint on an unglazed surface. ** I'm still not sure how it would wear, but it would likely (have to!) last longer than on a glazed surface
3) you apply a clear glaze over the paint after curing, if you are planning to wash the item

I wasted my money on this set of paints. It looked beautiful and sounded simple --NOT! It is VERY difficult to work with.

Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Postcard Kit, Best Buds Review
This Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Postcard Kit, Best Buds is pretty and adorable. The little stamps set enclosed is also adorable.
The finished postcards can be hung up as decorations, such as on a wall or Christmas tree.
This specific set includes flower-oriented postcards. Designs include a bird flying to the left of a bouquet, a little girl holding a flower basket, three girls with a dog, and a few rose bouquets.
While there's little negative that I can say about this craft kit, the one problem I do have with them is that the chipboard is subject to warp after the postcard design is adhered to it or the chipboard is otherwise dampened (such as with antiquing liquid). When you make them, be sure to press them under heavy books and be patient with the drying process at each step a dampening product is added.

I really like these postcard kids, and have used two of them. The basic premise is to take the included paper-thin sheets, cut out the postcard designs, and adhere them to the included specially-shaped chipboard. (You will need such additional craft supplies as scissors, a clear stamp block, glue, ink pads, and something to hang the postcards with in order to do this craft.) The reverse side can be embellished with the included stamps to resemble the "writing" side of a vintage postcard. Of course, really crafty people can do even more than just these basics.The finished postcards can be hung up as decorations, such as on a wall or Christmas tree.

Discount 50 RECYCLED KRAFT GREETING CARDS 4x5" & 50 ENVELOPES-MAKE YOUR OWN
These cards are a great price; they are nice and sturdy and worked well for self-printing (I purchased them to use as my wedding save the date cards, I printed on all sides and the envelopes too.)
However, there is one major caveat about these cards. One side of the card, and the envelope, are the normal brown kraft color. The other side of the card is a lighter, more gray color (like regular cheap cardboard.) I don't know why they are made this way or why no one else mentioned it in the reviews, but it definitely cheapens the quality and look of the card A LOT. I had already designed my save the dates to fit this size card and I wanted to get them out in the mail so I went ahead and used them anyways, but be careful if you plan to use these for anything important.
I wrote on the envelopes with a white pen and also stamped the front of the cards with a white ink design. Both look fantastic!

Simple, plain brown cards and envelopes. Perfect for blank note cards and for self-decorated cards. Great price, fast delivery. Also nice and sturdy. Only downside is that, they're fairly dark, so best written on with skinny sharpie or a dark pen, and best decorated with add-ons.Best Deals for 50 RECYCLED KRAFT GREETING CARDS 4x5" & 50 ENVELOPES-MAKE YOUR OWN

I bought these to send out rustic handmade save the dates. As some reviews stated, the card does have one side that's a nice kraft paper color while the other side has more of a grayish hue, which is not as pretty. This wasn't a problem for me since I really only planned to use the envelopes. There was not a sufficient amount of glue to keep the envelope sealed, a fact I did not realize until I was sitting in the parking lot of the post office. I had to drive back home to get glue, which had to be applied in order to keep these envelopes sealed. All in all, the color and weight were exactly what I wanted, but the overall quality was not the best. Considering the price though, I was pretty satisfied with the purchase.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 50 RECYCLED KRAFT GREETING CARDS 4x5" & 50 ENVELOPES-MAKE YOUR OWN

Cheap Reliable MSK-588 Portable Blindstitch Sewing Machine
I had learned on industrial machines back in design school, but when I opened my business, portable industrial machines were not yet available and I couldn't afford thousands for a stand alone hemmer. When Babylock introduced their home-model I purchased it gladly. I was content for many years. It was easy and quick, but the stitches were obvious because of the straight needle, no matter what the depth level. It was a pretty machine, had a good long life, but was no power house.
When it came time to retire it, I researched the now portable industrial hemming machines. It was a toss-up between this one and the Tac-Sew. The reviews swayed me towards the Reliable. (that, and the price) It was everything stated and more! It is not as quick to thread as my BabyLock, but it isn't as slow either! I have to learn to control the speed! It is a compact, tight, and efficient work horse, a solid piece of machinery. The stitches are beautiful and I can alter the depth easily. Changing the frequency/stitch length is more of a challenge as you need to remove a plate on the side to access the dial. Switching from the easy-to-control flat work surface of the Babylock to the clamp and curved needle was all about practice and control, but the results are worth it. The threading, needle changing, and final stitch-lock position are not hard to master. The curved needle makes all the difference in invisibility. I highly recommend it.
I set it up for her and it didn't take long. I liked it so well, within a few weeks I bought me one. I have only "played" with mine so far but it really makes a nice stitch; my mom loves hers. I went ahead and changed a needle just because some had said it was very hard. I did not find it that time consuming or complicated. I read another place that the Organ brand needles didn't work with their machine so I took the time to try one; they worked fine for me. By the way, I called the company technician to ask about needle brands and although he was on another phone call at the time, he returned my call soon after that.
Be sure to pay attention to the recommendations of needle size and thread size in the instruction booklet. I think the proper thread with the proper needle will make a big difference in your results. At this time we are using Mettler Metrosene Plus 100 wt with the size 11/75 needle. Beautiful! I can't wait to get to all the hemming I need to do!

I recieved my RELIABLE MSK-558 PORTABLE BLINDSTITCH SEWING MACHINE in a timely manner. I am very pleased with this machine. I had a TACSEW hemmer that lasted me for 12 plus years. The RELIABLE is a good as the TACSEW. I do reccomend this machine. One thread guide was missing. The pigtail guide was not on the machine or in the box. I was able to take the guide off the TACSEW machine and use it on the RELIABLE machine. That missing guide would make the machine unusable and the inexperienced user would not know why the machine didn't work right, which may be why another poster sent back two machines claiming they were broken. I do alterations for local drycleaners and use the machine daily. Thank you, SusanBest Deals for Reliable MSK-588 Portable Blindstitch Sewing Machine
I have been looking for a hemmer for many year,as I am in the alterations business, I could never find one for under a thousand dollars,I was so delighted to find this one for the cost and other reviews.

It is easy to use and unlike some other reviews, mine arrived with all of the parts, just be sure that you test run it several times on scraps because it is very oily when it arrives.Honest reviews on Reliable MSK-588 Portable Blindstitch Sewing Machine

I love these stamps for making gift tags. I combine the penguin or owl with falling snow. Have a snowman in a field of trees. Plus can add a saying of Merry Christmas or Joy to the tag above the stamped image. Wish the set also came with To and From stamps... I didn't find the Happy New Year stamp very useful nor the darkened solid reindeer. Everything else was pretty useful and I'm glad they gave two snowflake styles.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Hero Arts Ink and Stamp Set, Holiday
