I was actually expecting this soft pastel to be in a container, but it's in a stick form. It's soft enough to pick up color with just a slight rub of your brush. It will save money in the long run from the harder pastels that need shaving.

Once you have it all put together, it's a great help to keep up with the swatches. I suggest doing a master set and one to travel with.

I just started my fabric stash for quilting a little over a year ago but already have over 500 fabrics. These swatch buddies will allow me to try fabric combinations together without having yards of fabric spread out everywhere and without having to go through handling each piece until ready to use it. If additional fabrics are needed the chooses swatch buddies can be taken to the store to make matches. When ordering fabric on-line it will be easier to check that I not reordering fabrics I already have on hand as swatch buddies easily move with you. The labels on the back side provide a place to note where the fabric was purchased, yardage on hand, designer, and fabric collection. I also indicate storage location.

The only problem I see is that the size is to small for novelty fabrics with many colors spread allover. Also larger floral fabrics its impossible to get a swatch with all the colors on it.

I purchased this airbrush after experimenting with a $20.00 airbrush from Harbor Freight. Let me start by saying what a big difference! So easy to use. The paint sprays great and my hand doesnt get tired. The most amazing part to me is Badger's customer service. I called them because there was a picture of a finger grip on the box which wasnt included. I called and spoke to a very nice lady on the phone who told me that the customer service person who could best help me was at lunch, but she would have him give me a call when he returned in about 15 minutes. As she finished telling me this,I heard a voice in the background say one moment I will help him. A gentleman picked up the phone and introduces himself as Ken Badger the owner of the company. Not only was he more than happy to address my issue, but he made sure that he answered any questions I had about airbrushing! I can tell you that Badger now has a customer for life. It is so rare to even find a company where a human being picks-up the phone let alone one where the owner of the company will help a customer with a simple customer service question.

Got this model 175(Crescendo) to replace my older 150(Professional), that I'd still be using had it not "disappeared". Just as versatile and easy to work withhave found that the bigger body is a better fit and I don't get the cramping I got when holding onto the smaller body of the 150 for awhile. A little heavier, but not really a noticeable issue to me. I've found through experience siphon feed works better for me than gravity feed if you tilt or move your airbrush around a little too much, and want a little ease in changing colors, plus you can see what you're doing. Just a little bigger than the 150.

I wanted to teach myself how to airbrush and wanted a brush that was high quality and solid for a new user and an experienced user. What I like best is that this brush is pretty easy to take apart, clean and put back together. I am very happy with my purchase. I've also learned that it takes a lot of practice to learn how to use the brush. But, with some practice I was able to make my daughter a t-shirt for Christmas.

I use this airbrush for teaching high school students.

First I teach them to take it apart and put it back together ...over and over...until they can do it quickly.

THEN...after every painting session they take it apartrinse it off --let the parts dry -and put it back together the next day.

With this teaching process, I have not had the problem of paint drying inside the gun and ruining the workings of the airbrush.

High school kids are not so good at cleaning the brushes...so this has helped me keep the airguns from being destroyed.(The auto collision teacher told me he loses many brushes because his students don't clean them properly and the paint dries inside the brush...thus making it nearly impossible to repair or use,however, he uses different type paint than I do.)

This airbrush works well. If an airbrush isn't kept clean, that is when problems start.

I explain the "take it apart---after every session---let it dry after cleaning and rinsing--and put it back together at the beginnng of the next painting session."

I have learned this clean-up technique after many years of airbrush painting and teaching airbrush.

I do not think that blowing cleaner through the brush is enough. The needle can still have paint on it. I have learned all of this the hard way.

Many students come to me...MANY>>> with ruined airbrushes because they allowed the paint to dry inside the brush without cleaning!They didn't realize what could happen...so I wrote this review for them.

This tool is too expensive to not clean and let be destroyed by a few seconds of laziness. Follow thruclean it and it will last for a long time.

It is easy to use---it helps if you have an airbrush artist show you how to take care of the brush and how to control and utilize it.

That would make your frustration level, as a new airbrush artist,so much easier to bear. As someone that has made many mistakes with airbrushes in the past, I know a little instruction goes a long long way.

This took longer than the estimated delivery time to arrive. But the hooks were worth the wait. Very nice, very smooth, glides like butter through stitches. I have not noticed any drag on any type of yarn or thread used. You may notice that the smaller hooks drag a little, but I just polished them with a dab of carnuba wax and that seemed to take care of the drag.

I wasn't sure how I was going to like white hooks. But these crochet hooks are so pretty, each hook is labeled too so you know the hook. Plus, the box it come in is wood with a beautiful design on the cover and has a slip type lock.

I really love the hooks. I didn't crochet with them yet. But I wanted them any way for my collection of crochet hooks. I really like them and suggest these to people who what a collection especially.

I love working with water brushes and wanted to build up my collection, so I would have one water brush for ever color of ink I'm using, plus some for just water to use with water colors. Since the price was great on these, they seemed a good way to do that, but you really do get what you pay for. They seem very simply/cheaply made and therefore just don't work like water brushes should.

Simply put they work horribly. First of all, the brush bristles don't have a point. They look like they do when they come straight out of the package, but they have been formed that way. Once you actually get the sticky stuff that kept the point in place (feels like dried hair spray) washed off, there is no more point and you'll never get it back. The bristles are very jaggedy.

The whole idea of a water brush is the self-wetting properties, but these really don't do very well with normal writing/drawing pressure like other water brushes. If you press a little harder (and I mean just a little,) either nothing much happens or you get big globs of ink (or water) dripping down. Sometimes the water/ink even comes out on top, where the tip is threaded to the tank handle!

There seems to be very little in between. Either it dries out or you flood it. And it can be quite random. This problem is mostly due to the fact that it's really just a plastic cap with a hole in it that has some bristles glued to it. Other water brushes have a whole mechanism, that ensures flow, prevents dripping etc Not these!

All in all a pretty useless set of brushes and a waste of money!

Do yourself a favor and get either a Pentel Arts Aquash Fine Point Water Brush, Medium or a Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small They are a little bit more expensive, but they really do an excellent job!

These brushes don't keep a point. The water flow is either blobby or nonexistent. The caps fall off and then your pocket gets wet. Avoid these, they're a complete waste of money. I use Niji waterbrushes now.

Best Deals for Royal Brush Aqua-flo Set 3

I'd give these no stars if I could. I bought them at a local craft store. I got them even cheaper with a 50% off coupon. They. Were. Not. Worth. It. They don't pick up much pigment, the brush isn't responsive and the caps don't stay on. Awful. I threw them OUT! Spend a little more and buy either the Pentel or Niji. both of which work fine. Water brushes are not as good as real ones, but they are good to use if you're trying to carry the minimum kit for "on location" (en plein air) painting.

Honest reviews on Royal Brush Aqua-flo Set 3

I had these 2 water brushes:

Pentel Aquash Water Brush 1/Pkg Fine Point

Price: $5.97

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027A5J8O/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Niji WaterbrushFlat 12mm Wide x 15mm Long

Price: $10.23

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DKHIIS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I thought I might like a little bit more flexibility in sizing; so I bought these. The points are good, and they look just like the picture, but I won't buy them again because they leak from the area where the point screws into the reservoir-handle. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) :) that's not a good thing when water-coloring. ;( I wish I had just bought another one of the Pentel brushes. It's pretty awesome, and I was expecting similar performance from these. I was mistaken.

I like that there are three brush sizes, and the sizes are good. But the pens release WAY too much water. The colors run and my paper gets too wrinkly. I would not recommend this if you're using watercolor pencils and/or painting intricate designs.

So she wanted an easel that would fold up and stow away nicely. It seems pretty sturdy and should be more than adequate for her. The only thing is, I guess it didn't come with instructions (I don't know personally, but that's what she tells me) although I suppose she didn't need them to set it up anyways.
