Bought to carve rubber stamps. I'm a beginner. This tool is great to get started and see what styles work for me. It's comfortable for my hand and I'm able to get replacement blades w ease. I live in a hi humid area I highly recommend you leave a piece if chalk in the handle w blades as they tarnish. It doesn't affect the cut but thought you'd want to know. Take care.
I was able to do a full face carving of Walter White (from Breaking Bad) in about two hours with this product. I was really impressed the results.
I wish they made the cutting tips out of stainless steel. That would really help cut down on the rusting.
Also, the collet is a bit difficult to use. The cutting tips tend to get stuck when unscrewing them.
We also like the storage in the handle and the fact that we could throw it in the dishwasher and it came out like new. This is a great little tool.

This Halloween, I didn't want to carve my pumpkins in the traditional sense (cutting out holes in the pumpkin). I wanted to do more than that and the Speedball fit the bill perfectly. Sure, it's meant for carving stamps, but the principle is the same. It goes through the thick skin easily and requires little effort.I was able to do a full face carving of Walter White (from Breaking Bad) in about two hours with this product.

We purchased this so we could remove some of the rind on our pumpkins but leave some behind so it would glow. Worked like a charm! The different blade options came in handy with some of the more intricate parts of our design.We also like the storage in the handle and the fact that we could throw it in the dishwasher and it came out like new. This is a great little tool.

Great set of scissors. The smaller ones have an extra sharp point useful for working on seams, hems, or any tight space, and my sister can even cut hair with them!Best Deals for Fiskars 67517197J 67517197 2-Piece Home & Office Scissors Set
Bought these new Fiskars as my old pair kept getting lost. I have had the originals over 20 years for sure. So, I knew this was my brand, the cheap ones cut paper fine, but Fiskars cut what you want and the way you want it. I keep these tucked in a private drawer so my grandkids can't find them. This set is perfect and will outlive me, will have to put that in my will and leave them to a special person.Friday, December 19, 2014
Review of Darice 28-011 7-1/4-Inch Twist Ties Silver 150-Pack Value Pack
Garbage bags have stopped supplying twist ties. These are perfect. Long legs, strong, holds the package tight! Shiny silver color, sparkles on a moonlit night. As the garbages sit at the curb waiting to be picked up in the morning.

Buy Cosmos ® 5 Set Silver Color Stainless Steel Bow Shackle + 4 Holes
These have worked well for bracelets and dog callors. Leaves a little room for adjustment. They seem strong and so far all the dog callors I have made customers like them and can fasten license and ID tags to the shacles.
The bows are nice (even if austenitic ... i.e.non-magnetic) stainless steel and worth this price without the adjusters. My only "complaint" (I quote because I'm not really a complaining or concerned) is that the adjusters are not also stainless steel. There is a "seam" all the way around (bisecting the holes) in the "chrome" on them. I decided to sacrifice one (figured I could always just paint it black) and filed away one seam between two holes. The coating filed off VERY easily and reveals a "light copper" color metal underneath. It's not heavy enough to be copper or steel, but heavier than aluminum. Without getting silly on testing for no real good reason I'm going to say it's bronze of some type (copper/zinc alloy). It's smells/tastes of copper, and when compared to a freshly filed penny (to get through the 100% copper coating) it's nearly the same color. I wouldn't think it's more than 3% (U.S. Pennys are 2.5%) copper at most.
The metal is relatively soft, not nearly soft enough to deform or bend from the intended use, probably not even if you hung from them, but compared to my file extremely soft, it left some pretty good gouges. I suggest trying some higher grit sandpaper instead of a file if you decide to clean your off.

I have been looking for a good price on bow shackles to make my 550 bracelets. I have had no luck finding them in small lots (1-10, I'm not selling just making for personal use) for less than ~$2/ea. Not even the ugly, scratchy galvanized ones. I ran across this lot with the adjusters and was really happy to see the price. $2.20/ea for stainless shackles with adjusters is roughly half the price I've been seeing. I jumped on the deal assuming it was another "amazon undercutting price" that would go away in a couple of minutes. Seems that wasn't the case, still happy I jumped. I received my shackles in less than 48 hours from ordering them. They came packaged very nicely, all together in a resealable (think hardware store blister packaging not ziploc) baggie and good sturdy cardboard box around them, way better than needed. The free cable tie is a nice little bonus. I know it's just a silly cheap strip of Velcro with advertising on it but I kinda have of thing for them so I was happy to get it.The bows are nice (even if austenitic ... i.e.non-magnetic) stainless steel and worth this price without the adjusters.

They look great, but difficult to put on alone. It's a lot easier if you have someone to help when putting on your paracord bracelet or watch band. Doing it alone, you only have one hand.Honest reviews on Cosmos ® 5 Set Silver Color Stainless Steel Bow Shackle + 4 Holes
Very pleased with the product.....will probably order more in the future. Very fast shipping. I tried buying items like this before and found the bolt not easy to screw in or to be a bad fit.

Discount Folk Art 991 8-Ounce Glazing Medium
I am a visual artist who has been putting most of my work on paper for more than a decade, using felt-tips, watercolor and gel pen. Recently I began painting with acrylic again. I read up on what artists are using now with their acrylics and found many to being using mediums exclusively---no water. I found this glazing medium by Folk Art to be a good medium to use---though I will admit to still using a little water with it. It prolongs the drying time by a few minutes---if you are a blender, this is a plus.. I get very nice glazing effects with minimal effort. I don't think you can find a better product for craftwork or artwork for the money.Product works very well. We used as a glaze for Paperclay ornaments and it put a really good layer on them before applying the paint. The only criticism that I have is that of the two bottles I ordered, two lids were loose and product did spill into the box onto other items. Thankfully the items were not ruined and could be wiped off but how much of the glaze was wasted?

List Price: $23.90
Sale Price: $13.30
Today's Bonus: 44% Off

My school was out so I had to get it online. it happend to be cheaper, and the quality is above average I would say. However If you are 'hardcore' about your supplys, I would stick to the saying, "you get what you pay for".
If you are just needing supplies and arn't picky, this is perfect.
The wooden tools' edges are not smooth and pure. (After checking them, I found a piece of wood stuck in my hand.)
There is glue and rust on the trimming tools +their shapes are not even!
I'M SO DISAPPOINTED!!!
Also the sender did not put its address. S/he probably knew what s/he done..

I bought this item for two different nephews. Both are 10 years old. This was part of a birthday gift in which I included other items as well. Both boys really liked the paint set and the only negative was that they wished it was bigger and had more things to paint. So I think that's a good indication that it was a success.

Cheap Hampton Art Basics Embossing Collection
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $17.12
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

Overall this is a good deal if you are used to purchasing powders for 4 bucks per color. These are small containers and many of the colors don't come out as brilliant as I would have liked. The red melts so dark it almost looks black. All that being said there are a few powders like copper and gold which look absolutely brilliant. As long as you expect a bit of a mish mosh it is totally worth the money.
I found these colors to be a great start for those who do limited embossing.
Theses last a long time . Just put any excess powder back in tubes.
Nice to be able to purchase crafting products from Amazon.

Soft-Grip Bristle Bright Brush In Your Choice Of Size Reviews
...but having never received mine, I can't tell you firsthand whether it's one to purchase or one to pass on. I don't want to penalize the product rating just because I never received mine I also don't want anyone else to stumble across the same unfair practices. Surprising, actually I buy quite a bit from Amazon and this is the first item I ever had an issue with that wasn't resolved incredibly quickly.
I may try to find one locally, as the brush does seem to be a good deal. My interest is whether the bristles fall out easily so if I had received this brush, you would be reading a review detailing whether the bristles stay in the brush (or come off on your project), how sturdy the ferrule is, and how well this brush fits the hand (the comfort level). Since I didn't receive it, you're instead reading a review about how crummy it is to pay for something and wait for it to arrive, only to be disappointed when it isn't included in your order.
Great. Big. Bummer.

Review of Badger Air-Brush Company Anthem Airbrush Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $124.99
Sale Price: $86.68
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

I bought this kit because my other airbrush quit working, the anthem is a great airbrush does very well with the paint I use which is mostly acrylics, it's very simple to strip and clean, and parts are relatively inexpensive. The 2 downsides I found were the cut out rested right on my hand and impeded the needle movement but this was easily fixed bu turning the cutout till its horizontal. The other down side for me is the tip of the needle being exposed, I pricked myself pretty good a few times but I got used to it, though if your not carful you can easily bend or break the needle tip, over all this is a great kit, made better by the air hose and paint jars. I highly recommend this
