Cheap Sanford Prismacolor Scholar Brush Marker, 10-Pack

I really love the Prismacolor dual tip brush pens that retail for $5.99 each... so when I saw these water-based brush tip markers for such a cheap price on amazon I decided to try them out. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The brush tips on these markers are about 50% smaller/thinner than the dual tip pens and not as soft so much less like painting and more like a somewhat flexible felt tip pen. The tips are sharp and thin enough to make a really thin line with a steady hand.

The target market for these markers are school age children. As far as age is concerned I believe it would very much depend on the child. I have 7 year olds and a 4 year old that I would not let use these markers because they would destroy the brush tips in 5 minutes or less. If you know your child is rough on markers, then I suggest you save a few $ and opt for a big cheap $3 set from a big box store that they can use till they are broken. On the other hand, if your child is already doing art with fine details and gentle with pens then s/he will love these.

If I had received a set of markers like these in highschool I would have been stoked.. and I was big into art. These are great for coloring manga or comics for adults or older kids and a lot cheaper... just be careful if you're coloring the same work with alcohol based pens as the ink from these can smudge slightly if you overlap onto it.

I am extremely pleased with these markers... I only wish there were more colors.

I like the brush tip. the ability to define areas with different strokes. only problem is the watered down colors.

These are nice, they overlap nicely. I didn't like the shades of the pens, they are too bright for my work. Good purchase.

i thought they would be more blendable, i'm kind of disappointed in prismacolor which sucks cuz i live by their products as an artist. very nice, fine brush tip though, can get a variety of widths and line quality. this is the first set of artist grade markers i've bought so i guess its okay.

In all my years as an artist, I've never encountered such wonderful, useful art pens. These are not ball point -they have a felt-like tip, somewhat like what you see with fabric painting pens. These are great for touch up of washes as well as fine details. Wish I'd bought the larger set, now.

Last year, I bought just one black Pitt Artist Pen for detail work and I was hooked. There is absolutely no odor from the pens and they don't bleed through your paper. The tip of the pen is really good quality and holds up until the ink is gone. Since then, I've purchased some big brush pens and a set of 24 brush tip pens. They can be used side-by-side with watercolors for a really nice effect. I would recommend these to anyone who likes to draw.

My son lusted after these pens at a brick and mortar store, but they were way too pricey for his budget. He got a great deal here. He draws manga art and loves using these markers to ink his drawings. My son especially appreciates the skin tones, which are hard to find in other markers sets. So far, the markers have been durable, and I've not heard any complaints.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen Gift Set - 24 count 167147

I purchased these because I was looking for waterproof ink. It's not what I expected, they have a "brush" type tip, but they're great. I do oil paintings and wanted to venture into ink drawings. These are so simple to use, very easy and most importantly, they do not rub off as you're drawing. They even work when blending colors, to make your drawings more "realistic." I love them and the price is great... I got mine for under $20.

Product is misprinted and should not be sold as is. One of the images is incorrect and should be corrected. It shows a wrong color shade/tone that I must believe they now know about but continue to sell anyway. I added this product onto my order because it was a suggested item from Amazon. Amazon should check products out before recommending them.

You simply cannot make this type of quilt without these acrylic templates; but not only do you need these, you have to maintain PERFECT 1/4" seams or your quilt will NOT lay flat, it will be lumpy. I advise using the CurveMaster foot which almost forces you to keep those 1/4" seams. This quilt is not for the faint of heart, you will need to go slowly and carefully, however, once you get the finished product you will be very proud of yourself. I ended up drawing every sewing line on each piece with either a chalk pencil or disappearing ink. There are several options for the Dahlia's "center" and I would recommend not selecting the option that is all points to the very center, you get a lot of bulk doing this. Advise you to use neutral color thread or matching thread, too. So, once you've done your very best and its not as perfect as you like, just remember, after you quilt it and wash it, those small imperfections won't matter so much. But if your aim is a perfectly flat wall hanging, good luck!

Bought this stamping set at my local Michaels for 50% off ($34.99CAD without a coupon). Wanted to give metal stamping a try and this was the only brand available for in-store purchase. The set works, but I was surprised that for such a hefty price tag, it was made in China.

Opened the packaging to find that although the metal stamps were greased, there were still a couple of rusted letters and some random foliage (old leafs?) as a bonus.

Satisfactory for a beginner.

I really liked this product. This is the first piece of clothing I've sewn since junior high (don't ask how long that's been), and it turned out really well. I made two gypsy skirts I saw in a magazine. It called for gathering by pulling threads and I knew there and then that I would use your gathering foot. It worked. Even with cotton, which is a medium fabric, if you set the machine for the longest length and the highest tension, you get a really good gather. I will definitely use this on future sewing projects. I just wanted to add that I use a low shank Singer machine.

I bought this gathering foot for my Elna Quilter's Dream sewing machine. It fit perfectly and gathered my tulle quite tightly. I found it just a little difficult to loosen the gathers where it was gathered too tightly. But it is SO MUCH BETTER than the standard way of gathering yards and yards of tulle.

Honest reviews on Distinctive Shirring Gathering Sewing Machine Presser Foot - Fits

What a great product. I have a small business and sew ALOT of ruffled/gathered items. Why did I not seek out this product sooner??? I use primarily lightweight fabrics and it works like a dream. I have an older Brother machine (that I wouldn't trade for anything) and it took me a few minutes and some exploration of my machine before I could figure out how to attach the new foot. When using any of my other feet, I simply depress a small lever on the back of the shank and the foot falls off and I apply the other one. So obviously I expected to do the same with this foot. Not the case. I had to actually unscrew a piece that is attached to the shank and apply the foot directly to the shank. Maybe this would have been obvious to others, but I have NEVER removed that piece to change feet, therefore it was not obvious to me. This was not a problem in any way. I only mention it because there are no instructions and another buyer may have a similar situation. This product came at a great price and quick shipping.

I like this little foot. However it only works on lite weight fabrics never more than one layer at a time, except for lace and sheers. I make hats and work with all types for fabrics. Sometimes this sheering foot works and sometimes it doesn't It is trial and error but when it works it is a big help. The company is impressive. Every order and this is not my first foot comes in a very timely manner and exactly what I ordered. I trust them with my sewing needs.

When a 12-year-old asks for an acrylic paint set and you know nothing about art what do you do? We took a gamble on this set and we were very pleased in the product! We recently had a artist family member look over the set and were even more pleased when he reported all desired pieces were included and of good quality. For a younger person or a beginner, this set is ideal because a variety of colors are included without having to mix them yourself. Also, the paints are in smaller quantities which means a large quantity of paint won't dry out when a 12-year-old forgets to put the lid on tight enough :-) . The brushes are good quality and clean up well. The two (very) small canvases included are a good touch to allow the beginner to experiment before purchasing a large canvas. We did need to glue one of the white trays back into the case, but nothing drastic.

For the Big Kids Too: Most of the reviews were for purchases made for kids, well I'm a big kid (32) & this set is perfect for me! Definitely not just for younger artists. My 9 year old son gave me this for Christmas (finally going to try my hand at painting) & I love it! Very impressed overall...exactly what I need to get started with my new hobby, has a nice box with a place for every piece, & the quality is great. For me, simply having all your tools & paint neatly stored in a compact box is priceless (who wants to buy special storage for your art stuff when you have no clue if you'll be any good in the first place?!) & an all pink set, that puts it over the top for me...it's really cute & the pink screams "Mommy's, keep out!"

Not Just for Beginners: I def. see myself using this set from now until I actually figure out what I'm doing (which I'm guessing will take a long time, LOL.) It may say beginner's but it'll be great on the go or painting anywhere & not being stuck in a studio/designated art area (personally I prefer kicking back on my bed watching tv while doing any hobby but hey, the park works too.) You can even refill the tools/supplies easily so this set will definitely be a keeper for me.

All In One Gift Set w/a Personal Feel: If you really want to give an All in One Starter Set...grab this kit, a few pads for painting (or canvas), a roll of paper towels, a small container for rinsing/cleaning your brushes & you're all set. Put it all in a cute basket & you'll have a really nice gift set with that personal touch quality (I have no affiliation to the product or seller...just a few good gifting tricks up my sleeve.) & pads for painting w/watercolors work just fine w/acrylics but are much cheaper & easier to store than canvas (pads for painting w/acrylics may exist but we only found the watercolor ones.)

Honest reviews on Royal Pink Art Acrylic Painting Beginners Artist Set

This kit is very straightforward and you actually get what's described. The paint and brushes are a better quality than I expected, and the canvas board is great as well. I would highly recommend buying this kit for any kid who wants to get started with acrylic painting. For your money it's hands down better than anything else I've seen. I would not recommend this for anyone under 8.

This is not the Xacto I knew as a young man. Poor quality throughout. Blades are super thin gauge metal. Plating on handles is poor. Even the magnetic strip that holds the blades in the box doesn't work well, and the blades fall out loose when you shut the lid.

Ok this is a great little set. I have to really stretch into the nitty gritty to fine anything wrong with the kit.

So... nit picking details...

The box is wonderful and made of solid wood. The inside is VERY cheap thin plastic insert. they have a thin little magnetic strip along the plastic that barely keeps the blades stuck in the cover. If you are careful with it, they will stay in place. Otherwise, they will fall out when you close the box.

on the possitive side, there are so many different blades and devices i dont know i'll be able to find a use for all of them. I'm very tempted to start some odd projects just so i can use some of the odder ones. Anyway, you get alot of variety.... maybe even too much? I wonder if i'll EVER use some of these....

This kit is a nice assortment of blades and two different handles. Where it lacks is that the blades are meant to hold into the case with a magnet strip however some of the blades don't fit very well in there spot and any jarring of the box when it is closed makes the blades fall loose in the case. Also my case wont latch closed either with is no good. I have grabbed it by the top several times to move it and the bottom swings open dropping all the loose blades. Outside of those issues I really like it and will be very mindful of handling it in the future.
