It appears that I received a different set of files. Mine has orange handles instead of blue, and some of them are not straight. The overall quality of the product was low, and was barely usable.

6 Needle Files Jewelers Watchmaker Metal Filing Tools Reviews
How can anyone buy these without knowing the grit (150, 180, 220?) and the profiles (flat, 1/2 round, round, triangle?) Even better/useful pictures would help. Add them or some of this info and double or triple your sales.

LIQUID CHALK Markers Water based, Wet & Wipe to Erase -This Premium Chalk Ink is ideal for Chalkboards, Glass, Windows, Whiteboards, Mirrors & more -Set 8, 6mm Chisel Tip pens -Bright Neon Colors -white, red, pink...LATEST RELEASE!! Order now!
Received my Inspired by Craft chalk markers and they are everything I expected. I'm always looking for something different to entertain the grandchildren and now they are having fun creating their artwork on my glass doors and mirrors. Love the bright colours and they wipe off easily with no lasting effect. First time you use them remember to hold down the tip until they fill with ink, then off you go.
Best of all as an asthmatic I don't have to worry about the dust particles floating about in the air.
Great Product, highly recommend.

These are great. I initially bought them to use for my younger kids craft activities but since receiving them have found they have multi purposes and can even be used around the house. The colors are really bright and effective, the coverage is fantastic and they create really clean lines on so many various surfaces. I was surprised at how quick and easy they can also be removed. Not only are the kids loving them but I have even organised my pantry with everything now neatly labelled. The family also now has a bright 'family rules' board and my older kids are actually leaving me my phone messages. Best of all, they are perfect for my younger kids as there are no dusty chalky hands and no mess we all love them. Highly recommend.Best Deals for LIQUID CHALK Markers - Water based, Wet & Wipe to Erase -This
What fun markers they are! This was my first experience working with this type of marker and I have to say I was very impressed. The colors are very bright and vibrant, with a nice array of colors. The colors come out of the tube in a nice smooth flow. They write on so many different surfaces, unlike regular chalk. Clean up is a snap, which is really important if you have young children that get a little ambitious with their new found art skills...

I love these Chalk Markers!! The Neon colors are bright and vibrant (even the white one). I have used other similar markers for glass but the coverage was streaky and the clean up was not so easy. I love the coverage these markers gave me, no streaky skipped area, no dripping, no smudging and drying time was (in most cases) instantly and the clean-up was a wet paper towel. So easy. I used these markers (so far) on the mirror in the shower room (that is where I leave messages for my daughter) and the steam from the shower did not effect it, window, plastic (my phone), metal (my front door) and my refrigerator. Now I can't wait to use them on my other daughters sliding glass door. Maybe with such Bright Neon Colors the kids (and husband) will quit running into the glass door!! I will be recommending these markers to all my family and friends. So many uses!!Saturday, November 29, 2014

I am no artist. I have to rely on rubber stamps and Cricut cartridges to make my cards worthwhile. I kept reading about Copic markers in Cardmaker magazine and decided to bite the bullet and order some. Are they pricey? Yes. Are they worth it? Definitely!!!! I no longer avoid stamping people since I have the skin tones to make them look real. As the previous reviewer wrote, no more Oompa Loompas and no more pale vampires either. My Santas look like Saint Nick and not some geisha girl. I also like these markers for coloring animals since there is so much control over which shade to use. These Copic markers are fantastic with the House Mouse rubber stamp series. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these markers and am so glad I purchased them.
It's been a relief not having to "make" a color work as a skin tone for a piece & having that character end up looking like a Uumpa Lumpa. All realistic skin tone shades are included in the pack, from the palest to the darkest. It also includes the shades in between. I especially love the Copic trait of how you can blend the colors for a smooth & seamless shade. Love them! ^_^

These are fantastic for small hands and special needs (poor motor skills, poor hand eye coordination). Large, chunky and super cute. Lost one star because many of the beads are a bit rough around the hole. Still usable but may begin to shred the stringing material after a short period of time.Honest reviews on Wooden Beads Set

Review of 8pc Clear Acrylic Bead Jars Containers - Spill-Proof Snap-on Tops
I must carry medications with me if I go out for the day or to dinner, etc. It was a pain loading and unloading all my various medicine bottles into my purse.....and ziploc baggies are even worse. These little containers work perfectly as medicine dosage cups....I just fill each little jar with the pills I need at each meal while away from home, snap on the lid, drop them into my purse, and I'm good to go. They take up almost no room. Wonderful for traveling!

Buy Derwent Sketching Collection, Metal Tin, 38 Count (34307)
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $76.99
Sale Price: $47.41
Today's Bonus: 38% Off

Derwent is well-known for producing quality art materials. Of late, they are also increasingly recognized for technological innovation, especially in the use of water-soluble pencils of various sorts. This collection offers a taste of both the quality and the technology. It also offers a tremendously versatile set of materials at a very reasonable price ($25 in my case).
You get the usual collection of graphite, charcoal pencils, and charcoal sticks common to any sketching collection. The quality of the materials is very good--the graphite pencils are nicely distinct in tone as are the charcoal. The tone of the sticks is perfectly matched with the pencils. As an added bonus, the charcoal pencils are quite robust. I sharpened them with a Faber hand sharpener with no breakage.
Where the collection really shines is with the extras. You get a nice selection of vanilla water soluble graphite, but you also get several Graphitint pencils, pigmented water soluble graphite. These behave like graphite pencils when used dry, the pigment providing only muted colors. But add water and it transforms into vibrant color, though not as vibrant as watercolor pencil.
Several colored drawing pencils are included. These are quite opaque, much like chalk pastels, but behave in a much more controlled fashion, like colored pencils. They also blend much better than chalk pastel. One nifty thing about these is that their opacity makes them suited for dark colored supports. The colors make them well-suited for things like animal fur or sepia portraiture.
Rounding out the collection are some tinted charcoal pencils, including white---very useful for popping white highlights.
With just this collection, you're well-equipped to tackle most any charcoal or graphite project you wish, as well as adding a range of subtle colors to the palette. The price makes this a tremendous value, especially if you want to explore a range of media.
So I got this excellent tin of charcoal, pastel pencils, drawing pencils, water-soluble graphite... erasers, sharpeners, stumps... all the basics. Nothing wildly esoteric as art supplies go -but everything you have to have to keep your drawing hand and mind loosened up.
Of course, the tin itself is kind of cumbersome and came bent and couldn't be closed completely, so the pencils went into a rubber-band wrapped napkin. But -the art supplies themselves are excellent quality --Derwent doesn't skimp on their supplies. A great basic drawing set.

Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $9.95

I have bought very expensive set of pencils that I do not like the way they 'feel' when I draw across paper, but these are smooth and comfortable I will be getting another set when I need them and I do not have to spend 20.00 or more on pencils or others I do not like.
For those who do not know about drawing pencils. There are different numbers and letters at the bottom of the pencils. I use the 2H for light sketching and to draw from the object to the vanishing point because the pencil is light on the paper and it erases easy. Then When I want to darken the lines I use the 2B which is the lightest of the B's for shading I use all the B's which are dark and for the darkest shadows I use 6B which gives the darkest shadow and good for stippling, (dots close together for dark shadowing and further apart for lighter shadowing).
I hope this makes sense for you. I am awful at explaining things.
The speed of delivery was exceptional and everything was in perfect condition when it arrived. The price was also very good. I would buy this again when I need to replace my old set.

These are a GREAT set of pencils they all come in different types of sizes, some harder, softer, darker, smother, its awesome! Its the best set and when I shop for pencils these are the ONLY ones I order. However, the only problem with this is the sharpener. The sharpener works well in the beginning but after many times of using it, part of the sharpener cracks and it doesn't sharpen well and ruins all the pencils. This happened to me TWICE now after buying two sets of this. So buy yourself a solid metal/steel sharpener that isn't plastic. It would last you and it won't eat up your pencils.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pro Art 18-Piece Sketch/Draw Pencil Set

Discount CyberStyle 15pcs Nail Art Gel Design Pen Painting Polish Brush
I bought this set with the marbling sticks because I got a great deal on them and I've been dying to try these tools since I started really getting into nail art. On the whole, I like the different brushes that can create different looks and textures depending on how you use them. Since I'm creative, I enjoy coming up with new ways to use them or trying out different ones I've discovered on tumblr.
My only qualm with them is it is a little difficult to get the nail polish off the brushes, unless you do it immediately, which I find hard to do since I'm concentrating on the design.
