Review of Pitt Big Brush 48 Count Gift Box Set

Customer Ratings:

This is an excellent set. All the colors are numbered. It is easy to find the exact color you need to finish a work of art. The brushes are big and hold a lot of ink. If you need a smaller brush you can dab a small amount of the ink onto a smaller brush to get into smaller areas of drawing. This is my favorite set over all.

Cheap Fiskars 93807097 Circle Cutter with 2 Replacement Blades

List Price: $21.00

This cutter is best used with the circle cutter guide and a mat. The guide would help position the circle cut around the image and help the user choose the correct size. The mat is essential to not ruin the surface you are working on.

This circle cutter is great for making perfect circles. Sometimes, I need to be careful to make sure the blade cuts all the way around, and also that I am apply appropriate pressure on the center so that the paper and the cutter don't move off center.

I feel sometimes it is a bit cumbersome and that some other circle cutters would be easier to use, but it does its job and I get the circles I want. I do like that the circles can be adjusted to an infinite number of sizes between 1 and 8 inches across.

This a nice buy. Just make sure to buy a mat and you may need the circle guide.

UPDATE: One commenter has made a good point that I should detail what products I refer to. The circle guide you'd need is Fiskars Circle Cutter Guide, and any self healing mat woud do but one example is Self Healing Green Cutting Mat 24 x 36 inches. They will help you make full use of the Fiskars Circle Cutter.

This is the first circle cutter I ever bought, and after getting the Martha Stewart circle cutter, this is still the circle cutter I use. (You can read the review of the Martha Stewart circle cutter for more info).

I like this cutter because you hold it in the middle of the tool, which is also a pretty good place to hold down the thing you are cutting. This eliminates the need for any type of adhesive on your paper. It does take a some pressure to keep the paper from spinning as you spin the cutting arm around so taping your paper down might be helpful for some people who have trouble pressing down on it. I have no problem cutting without adhesive. The foot you press down has a foam gripper too, so it doesn't leave a mark on the paper.

This cutter will cut circles as small as 1 inch and as large as 8 inches and everything in between. The markings on the ruler can be hard to see because they are clear, but that can be easily remedied by taking a sharpie and marking on top of them with them all with black. The arm is easy to adjust, the blades are easy to change out and there is a place on the cutter to store extra blades which is nice since they are so small.

Unlike reviews I have read on other cutters...The best part about this cutter is it comes with a clear template guide so you can lay it on the paper or picture you are cutting and position the circle in the exact spot you want. The template is marked in 1/2 inch increments. It is also marked so you know exactly where to position your cutter (and the clear base of the cutter makes this very easy) You just place the cutter in the right spot and slide out the template and your ready to go. You do not need a special glass matt, it will work on a regular self healing matt. I purchased it in a set with the oval cutter and it came with a small cutting matt as well.

It may take a little practice to get the feel for spinning the cutting arm around but once you get it it is an easy tool to use. Practice a little on some scrap paper before taking it to your priceless pictures.

THIS CIRCLE CUTTER WORKS ONLY ON VERY THIN STOCK AND IS VERY HARD TO ADJUST TO A SPECIFIC SIZE AS THE DIAL IS ON THE INSIDE. OTHER THAN THAT IT DOES A GOOD JOB WITH A CLEAN CUT EDGE.

Honest reviews on Fiskars 93807097 Circle Cutter with 2 Replacement Blades

Very useful device. I haven't tried any other brands, so I don't know if any others are better. It takes a bit to figure out how to use this consistently well, but now that I have, I am glad to have purchased it. Be careful you've got something hard under the paper your cutting so that you don't cut into your table surface and for contrast with the paper to make a cleaner cut. Also be aware that the blades are stored in the clear cylinders topped by the blue plastic dots, otherwise you won't be able to figure out how to use this.

It does make circles of various sizes, the smallest is bigger than a hole puncher, and the largest is about six-seven inches. You can tighten it so it will remain consistent over several cuts if you want that.

Purchased this item as part of a set. Works only on the thinest of paper and then it is hit or miss. Must tape the paper down and exert pressure with both hands while turning it. Found it frustating and difficult to use.

Cheap Janlynn Jumbo Pack 105 Skein Embroidery Floss

I'm working on a fiber-arts craft project and I needed a variety of colors. This package was perfect for me. There are 2-3 skeins of each color in a variety of hues. I was worried that there might not be any white or black because I could not see them in the picture, but they were in the package. If you need a lot of different colors for a craft project this package is perfect.

Honest reviews on Janlynn Jumbo Pack 105 Skein Embroidery Floss

I bought this for my wife for Christmas, along with a variety of other floss (DMC brand.) While the price is right on this value pack, it is definitely lacking in quality. She breaks the thread nearly every stitch with this floss, while having no problem with DMC. I will say that she hasn't had as many problems with another pack of Janylnn (color variations), but this particular one is not worth it. Spend the extra 5 bucks on DMC.

I recently received this set of pens and the one I used is absolutely fantastic! It blends ink from Copic, Spectrum Noir, and Stabilo seamlessly. In fact, I use far less ink from my colored pens because I don't have to precisely fill each area I go in with the blender afterward and the result is a smooth, no-line area of color. Great for gradations of color amd shading, too. The colorless ink dries quickly. I can't recommend this product highly enough and am currently ordering two more sets just to have on hand.

As an artist I was forced to use charcoal as one of my drawing mediums. When I draw with charcoal the scraping sound gives me goose bumps. It's like scratching chalk across a chalk board. However, the charcoal does give you a deep richness you just don't get with the lead pens and pencils.

The price is just right for these brushes, and they are quality. I would not say they are quality for a professional artist who spends $40 on a brush, of course not. But I have enjoyed using them in my journals, with watercolor, acrylics, twinkling H20's and mica paint. I found one hair too long on one brush, so I snipped it off. But you will not find this overall. I am happy using these brushes for the purpose that I use them.

Honest reviews on Plaid One Stroke Brush Set, Pack of 10

I am just starting out painting after a 50 year absence from when I learned oil painting at age 10. I bought the All Media Easel Artist Set which gives you a good assortment of oil, acrylic and watercolors to experiment with. I think that set is a good value for beginners and it comes in a really nicely made wooden box that gives you a place to store all your art supplies. The brushes and plastic pallet knives that come with this set aren't very good for serious work so I bought this One Stroke Folk Art Brush Pack and the Stainless Steel Pallet Knife 5-Piece Set.

I am very pleased with the wide variety and feel of these brushes. The price is right too (10 brushes for $20). I am just doing simple painting projects now, like making some signs. I bought both of Nancy Reyner's books Acrylic Revolution and Acrylic Innovation. These books are excellent for beginners. They give you hundreds of painting tips plus basic stuff like how you use and take care of your painting tools. They are like having a private teacher to answer all your questions. She has created two "must have" books for people like myself who can't take a formal painting class. The only thing I need now is to develop my skills and I am looking forward to many hours of painting and learning.

I highly recommend all the products and books mentioned above. All of them are available from Amazon.

I got these as a graduation gift from my art teacher in high school, and I absolutely adore them. They are easy to handle for a rookie painter and they definitely help with precision. The variation within one package definitely comes in handy. I would definitely recommend these brushes for both self use and as a gift. I have used the brushes a quite a few times and they are still in good conditions, just wash them correctly and they'll be fine. But when I looked at the price I was surprise that they could cost that much, but yet again for the quality of the brushes the price is justified.

I am new to watercolor pencils and have been experimenting with different brands. I use them with rubber stamp impressions. The Staedtler brand has recently been improved and I do notice a difference compared to the set I bought several years ago. The set offers a good selection of rich and vibrant colors. They mix together well and don't leave a waxy residue on your work. The true magic happens when you add water. I have tried the suggested techniques on how to use the pencils and I have been very happy with the results. Give these pencils a try and you won't be disappointed.

EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. great set everything I was looking for. I would buy again. perfect xmas idea for friends and family

For any experienced cross stitcher, having well drawn charts is a must, for ease of completing a project. I purchased this kit specifically for the small snowflake designs, and was dismayed to see that the charts for those 3 "little squares" snowflake ornaments were done so poorly that I actually had to rechart them on some graph paper myself to make it usable. The symbols used in the charts were almost useless, the symbols used are so faint and nondescript that it takes constant looking to tell which one is which. The charts for the other 9 designs are fine, but if you purchase this kit for the snowflake designs, you're going to get a headache trying to follow the charts to completion!!

In the picture, these appear to be yellow, but the seller reassured me they're crystal (white) but just look different colors depending on the reflection of lighting. Which was correct.

They're perfect. The heart is a little over a 1 cm. It reflects light well, and is the perfect size for the project I'm doing. Very happy with these, as well as the 18mm one :)
