I purchased a Twilight Ink Pad over 20 years ago, and I just found it again. I tried to use it.. and to my AMAZEMENT it still was saturated with ink, not dried up AT ALL! Twilight Ink Pads are defiantly worth your money. Only thing that happened was that the outer layer crumbled like wet paper.. scrape it off & you still have plenty of ink to use!

Kinda have to practice and get use to get no readable knobs you just have to feel your way threw it wish it had readable setting instead of guessing your way threw before I apply my make up I fill it with some water spray it at my hand while turning the knob so I can know more or less whats going to spray out.. they really should consider redoing this feature.

Love these dies. After visiting a friend and using hers I loved them so I want all the different styles. This labels set cam be used in so many ways. It makes it so easy to make great cards and scrapbook lay outs with these. Layering is easier and you don't have to spend so much time figuring out what size to cut your paper.

Although this wasn't the color I thought it would be, it is a very nice green metallic. I was hoping for a good dark green, but so far I haven't found one in craft paints, at least within my budget. And I do prefer the acrylic paints, for the cleanup ease. FolkArt is a good company, and their products are terrific.

I have been using this airbrush for a few months now. The more I learn, the more I like it. Was considering buying the Patriot set by Iwata until I practiced with this more and realized it is three airbrush guns in one! With the different gauge needles, it does cover spray and fine detail. Clean up is a bit of a pain the with siphon feed cup but the siphon feed bottles are a bit expensive. It is, however, easy to take apart and rinse in the sink (just have a container underneath so no parts get lost down the drain!)

I recommend these for:

-Non-professional hobbyists who just love painting

-Someone preparing to make the jump to professional grade who wants to practice first

-Students

-Art therapists

I do not recommend these for:

-Professional artists who sell work

-Artists already accustomed to painting with professional paint

-Children/Teenagers (Liquitex Basic for them)

I want to start by saying they're not BAD paints by any means! They look great mixed with Golden Soft Gel (Gloss) but they just aren't professional grade, which is what the line is claiming to be (based on the price tag). The paints look good, but "high pigment load" is going overboard. Moderate, yes. I just don't feel these are as vibrant as other professional paints. They're a nice "in-between" student and professional grade, just not for the price they want.

I'd shopped in my local art store for these paints and the prices were really high. My husband doesn't paint a lot but his acrylics were really, really old and I wanted a new set. These are nice big tubes and should last a while. They come in a cardboard box so if you want a nice artist storage box you'll need that separately. The same paints are much more expensive locally and these are not a Chinese knockoff.

Crystalites 12409 Acrylic Crochet Hook Gift Set Reviews

Crystalites 12409 Acrylic Crochet Hook Gift Set
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I am a beginning crocheter. I have made a few different projects so far. So far I am finding that these Crystalites hooks are my preferred hook to use. They do tend to grip the yarn more than aluminum or steel, however they are also a lot less slippery to hold. This makes them more comfortable to use. They also definitely feel "warmer" than aluminum which makes them easier to work with for long periods.

I love the inline hook style which is why I tried these Susan Bates hooks in the first place. What a difference! I couldn't get the hang of crocheting for more than a year until I found these inline hooks and also altered my hold to "pencil" style. It didn't take long to get a good rhythm going after that, and a fairly regular gauge. I am quite pleased with these hooks in all sizes so far.

I wish they could make a hybrid with a metal hook and shank with a Crystalites grip and back shaft. That would be a great hook for more types of yarn.

All in all, these Crystalites are a great purchase.

Back in the late 1960's many plastics came from overseas. The bad plastics had the smell of a "skunk". Honest. Well these crochet hooks are fantastic but you must take them out of the plastic bag and let them air out for a day or two. It's the plastic bag that has the smell of a skunk not the crochet hooks.

These are the best crochet hooks, regardless of size. They have that slanted slice below the hook that ensures smooth crocheting. I got the recommendation first from the book, The Happy Hooker. I recommend these crochet hooks over other products (Boyes).

Honest reviews on Crystalites 12409 Acrylic Crochet Hook Gift Set

I took a crochet class during the winter, and my instructor said that the only crochet hooks she will use are Susan Bates hooks. I can see why! I crochet every single day, using a variety of hook sizes and yarn weights. Of couse I have the standard set of Susan Bates aluminum hooks, but I wanted a set of larger sizes, too, so I ordered these some months ago.

I have used these larger size "crystal" hooks for several projects. They are fabulous with super bulky yarns and just as nice with light worsted for obtaining a lacy look and feel. I enjoy using Susan Bates Multi-Pack L,M,N and P sized hooks so much that I recently purchased a second set through Amazon just to have a spare.

When I first uncapped the pen, the brush started losing hairs, then as I started inking, the tips separated and made it difficult to make a smooth line. This set might be good for toddlers or preschoolers, but anyone else will be frustrated by the low quality brush tip.

I would not recommend these to a traditional watercolorist as they are hard to keep a consistent ink flow... sometimes dry, sometimes dripping. Another drawback is that if they are not stored gently they WILL leak!!! And the ink is a mess once it leaks. HOWEVER, for certain usages, such as my personal work, these are GREAT for solid color application on paper and do a great job of laying flat without stroke marks. For me they simply happen to be one of those products that are a bit fickle and can anger you once in a while but are PERFECT for how I use them.

Best Deals for Watercolor Brush Pen Set of 8 Pens

These are good for a base wash and covering large areas, but they are inconsistent in flow. I've gotten good at using the black for sketching, which gives a neat look. Colors are very strong and vivid, I've had some success in adding water with another brush to dilute them a bit and make them less opaque when needed. I haven't had leaking problems like it seems a lot of people do, but I leave them at my desk. I'll replace them when they run out, they are good for what I use them for, but defiantly not watercolor.

Innovation Marbling Kit, Japanese Suminagashi Reviews

Innovation Marbling Kit, Japanese Suminagashi
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought two of this kits when I visited Singapore in 1993! They were making demonstrations on a shopping mall. I have been stingy with my last set, trying to make it last longer, and now that I am running out my husband thought of looking it out in Amazon.

This watercolor marbling is a delight and you can get the most interesting designs. I ran out of the little paper dots early on, so I use an inverted spoon to slowly pour the ink over the water. You get the brightest colors on very absorbent paper: rice paper is classic, watercolor paper always works, but I also used newspaper paper successfully. I have marbled business cards and labels for jet printers. The worst paper to use is standard office paper, which is rather water repellent.

Learning how to marbleize paper is an easy technique to learn but to do it very well does take some practice, IMO. This is my 2nd order of these Japanese paints used for marbling. I have tried to use oil & watercolors but wasn't satisfied w/the outcomes. I was able to make several prints using my own acrylic colors & the effects were OK for a 1st user. The colors in this kit mix well alone or together. Some of the fun in using this technique is you control the colors to be made, the colors can be vivid or soft colors it depends on your preference.This set comes w/instructions that are easy to follow & reference to during the marbleizing process. I will try to post a couple of images so anyone who cares can view them.

I've spent several hours "playing" w/this lovely marbleizing method. Some of my prints weren't too exciting & a few where nice enough to use in my collage art. It takes a little while to set-up all the materials needed for this process but soon you will be having so much fun creating marbled papers;it is all worthwhile. Also, your creations are unique one-of-a-kind prints & that to me is the other fun part of marbleizing.

Although, I am adult artist & have found this entire process both child & adult friendly--as noted above. There seems to be something magical occurring while working w/these colors & the marbling process. BTW, I use various types of lightweight Japanese papers b/c they are usually archival & strong enough to withstand multiple moves while trying to position them properly & in an area where they will make the most impact overall.

Thank you. Best wishing for a fun time for anyone who tries this process w/these wonderful colors.

This a nice set for the money. Good colors. I would get the copper plated paper to use with this type of marbling as any other type of papers will not absorb and be as vibrant as you would hope for.

Honest reviews on Innovation Marbling Kit, Japanese Suminagashi

Rarely do I like to write a negative. Let me start by saying--I watched the Blick video on this product and it looked so simple and easy. On the video the colors were strong and bright. Bought it. THEN I tried it.

NO luck. Used treated paper, distilled water. Nothing worked for me. I got faded out pieces that I was totally unhappy with. I have experimented with all types

of painting materials, inks, acrylics, oils, enamel----but no failures like this. So for me, this new experience in "marbling" was a huge disappointment.

I'll try other products to get the effect I thought the video was promising. For this kit--I suggest you not bother to waste your time or cash.

I've been using this product for over 20 years and have never had a single problem. You must follow the directions for it to work. Also do not use a metal plan. Plastic is preferable. Have had lovely designs always. Use your floaters and keep your water clean and you'll make some of the loveliest designs you've ever seen. I even use it in my classroom! Have fun and be creative!
