This embossing set of corners is a nice size to use as a focal embossed design on a card. I don't see where I will use it in corners much, but I plan on using it as a focal point. I saw on you-tube where I could use my rolling pin, since I don't have a machine. It works great!

Cheap Adorable Puppy Aunt Martha's Hot Iron Embroidery

Customer Ratings:

Aunt Martha's is one of my favorite products to buy because the company that make these transfers is an American family run company (Colonial Arts) and purchasing their products doesn't mean settling.

It's hard to see in the pictures of the product but this particular series of transfers is tableau's of approximately 3 or 4 x 5 or 6 inches. They are mostly line drawn and do include some crosshatching designed to be worked as cross stitch which is mostly used for shading. All of the designs have a day of the week written beneath them but it's easy to snip away the lettering as I did to use them on pillow cases or other textiles.

I have transferred some already and can tell you that I have never had a bad experience transferring Martha's designs and this was no exception. I usually can get a good 4 transfers from a design.

Very pleased.

I ordered these to give out in my beginning watercolor class. The recipients were very happy with their sets and began using them immediately. These are great for beginners as they are even given 3 small boards to paint on...I was however disappointed in that one set only had 2 boards, not three. The paints are of course student grade and priced right for their quality. My beginners were very happy with their sets.

Use them with a light hand, but nice quality for the price. A bit softer would have been more preferable for better ease in blending colors. Using for portrait work. A few of the leads were broken, making them difficult to stay sharp. Suspect this was caused in shipping.

These pencils are great for precision work. I definitely recommend using them with a layer of hard pastel to get the process and painterly surface going. Definitely nice for a pencil.

Best Deals for Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Set of 24

I loved my set of 24 Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel pencils so much that I decided to order the whole range (set of 60) so I will have a travelling set as well as a set for the studio. These pastels have proven to be quite sturdy, I haven't had one break on me yet. I would probably rate them as a semi-hard pastel, but each pigment has it's own properties and some seem softer than others. They are great for small pastel paintings (5x7 and even 8x10) and excellent for detail work on larger pastel paintings. I would highly recommend these pastel pencils. Please note that these are not oil pastels/colored pencils but are a variation of soft (chalk) pastels.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Set of 24

They are great! Work like regular chalk pastels, but no mess on your fingers! Rich color, better to sharpen with a razor blade even though you can use a sharpener, it gets a finer line.

I loved these pastel pencils. I was only sorry that I had only bought the 24 count set. They truly are buttery smooth going on and then when using blending stumps...oh so smooth and beautiful.

I highly recommend this brand of pastel pencils...but be smarter than me...buy the largest set you can afford. There simply were not enough colors to do much of anything...at least for the things I was needing. But a really GREAT product!

Cheap 32" (80cm) addi Turbo Circular Knitting Needles

Customer Ratings:

Addis are incredible needles and make knitting so much easier. The finish is nickle-plated which allows the yarn to glide effortlessly so you aren't constantly trying to move the stitches up into knitting position.

The join between the cable and the needle is so transparent so your stitches don't get caught coming and going.

The cable can be a bit stiff but if you warm it in hot water, prior to use, that will overcome that problems. The lace version cables are much more flexible.

The only thing to be careful of is sometimes the needle can be "too slippery" which means new knitters may be more prone to drop a stitch at the beginning or end of a row.

Other than that, if you are experienced and your the type of knitter whose needles fly, these are the best needles in terms of quality.

I asked a friend to pick me up a couple of circulars from the yarn store the next time she went, and she brought these back. I was a little horrified at how expensive they were (nearly twice the price of other circulars!), but really not having time to return them, decided to give them a shot.

I'm so glad I did! If you do a lot of knitting and have the extra cash, these are definitely worth it. I'm tearing through the sweater I'm working on, and it will be hard to go back to go back to my other needles when I'm done. Serously considering buying the set!

Unless I am working with a very slippery yarn, I use Addi Turbo needles for everything. Some of my needles are 13 years old and some sizes are used daily (no kidding, fiber arts is my business) so can attest to their longevity and hard work. There are no snags at the join, like some other lesser quality needles have, and there is no discoloration with the needles. Your hands warm the needles and they are a pleasure to work with. I love to use the longer needles to knit my socks instead of double pointed needles

I'm a pen fanatic. This pens are a nice set because you get a variety of thickness in pen lines. The ink runs smooth and dries quickly. The tops of the pens have the thickness written on it so it is easy to grab what you need quickly. Great for artwork, framing, doodling, and journaling.

I love pens such as these for drawing and writing. I often will use a pen before or after I do a watercolor to add emphasis or a bit of abstraction to my composition. And I like to sketch when I travel.

These pens have a selection of point diameters from fine to thick ( from .01, .03, .05 up to .08 ) and the ink IS WATERPROOF, meaning I can use a technique where I first do a very impressionistic or free-flowing sketch, even a contour drawing, then dash in the watercolor. This is a very useful technique for making greeting cards. (A contour drawing is when you put your pen down, look at the object you are drawing and follow the outlines of the object, never lifting your pen. If you want to see how to use this in your artwork, go look at Charles Reid's watercolor work. His graphite underdrawings are done with this contour method and it's a great exercise, if you've never done it. Go try.)

This set has all kinds of uses, and I just love it.

The listing and packaging indicate that you're going to get at least one pen in each size, but I received one 01, one 08, and three 03 pens. They're pretty good so far, make very crisp lines. The nibs are a bit sturdier than those on Sakura Pigmas, so although I haven't used them much so far I feel like I will get a lot more use out of them.

I discovered these crochet hooks about 3 years ago. They are wonderful! I've been crocheting for about 37 years, and love doing it. But, one thing that was really irritating was how the hook seemed to get caught in the yarn very, very often. When I decided to try the Lion Brand hooks, I was totally amazed. They glide through the stitches with no hang-ups! That makes me able to finish my projects quicker and they are nicer, too. I would recommend just buying one if anyone is skeptical that these hooks can make a difference. But, I have a feeling that you'll be going back for the whole set.

I thought these would be a plain looking plastic but they have a pearl finish. The smallest is really thin but you will not use big yarn with it anyways. These are really light and great for someone you has tension issues. They are flexible so you don't have to worry about getting in tight spots.

Mom wanted smooth and flexible hooks so I bought them for her. She put them up on a shelf in her office / yarn room. I'm waiting for her to figure out that they've gone missing. They are lightweight and very easy to hold. When she does realize they're missing, if she ever does, too bad. I'm keeping them.

I cannot use the metal ones, and I don't like the little narrow necks on some of them. These are exactly right for me, move smoothly through the yarn and are a joy to use. I would like to see each size in more colors so that if I am using pink yarn, I could use the largest hook in another color. However, they are great just as they are.

I love the Lions Brand crochet hooks as the yarn glides over the hooks when you crochet. In the past two years, I have tried to find these hooks on my travels to California as that is where I used to buy them. Well the Lions Brand hooks have disappeared form retail stores.

So of course I was delighted to find them on Amazon and the price was so reasonable. I even bought the set of 3 larger hooks as I know I will need them one day.

If you use the other brands of crochet hooks, you should try Lions Brand as they really glide so easily with the yarn and make crocheting go so much faster.

My mother crocheted for YEARS and even had hooks form Japan and England, I have tried these and always return to my trusty Lions Brand hooks. Remember the price on Amazon with free shipping (meet qualifications) is the BEST!!

12 metallic (Grey, Black, Silver, Gold, Bronze, Copper Red, Turquoise, Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Reddish Purple, Dark Purple)

12 regular (Red, Orange, Peach, Yellow, Lime, Dark Green, Light Blue, Purple, Bubble Gumish pink, Orangeish Pink, White, Black)

12 Glitter (Pink, Reddish Orange, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Silver, Gold, Bronze, Glitter Black)

6 Mixed Colors (Yellow/Blue/Pink, Purple/Green/Blue, Pink/Blue/Purple, Blue/Green/Orange, Green/Pink/Blue, Orange/Blue/Purple)

6 Fluorescent (Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple)

The only pen that really shows up well on black is the silver glitter. The white shows up but not quite as well. They all look great on lighter colored paper.

The pens work fine for the first few days. Then the ink starts separating into chunks in the barrel. I think being moved around or warm makes this worse, but just putting a pen into a pen case and carrying it shouldn't cause the ink to separate out like this. There are also huge differences in how well they right swirls are the worst, glitter pens right very well.

That said, this was $12 for a box of 48, so at that price I'm expecting them to be super-cheap semi-functional pens. The ink does look nice, and honestly the pens run out of ink so fast that usually the pen is nearly dry before the ink separation becomes a real problem.

Overall, I probably won't buy these again because I want something that last longer and is more reliable, and they're certainly not good to carry with you or write a lot with. But for the price they're OK.

Cheap Speedball 10 Pen Nib Assorted Set

List Price: $20.99
Sale Price: $14.94
Today's Bonus: 29% Off

These nibs do indeed "hold" more ink than your average nib on the street. I can also tell you, that for the price, these nibs perform as well, and if not better, than some of the more expensive nibs I have used over the years. I was digging through my art stuff and found a box containing quite a number of these things I have collected throughout the years and to be quite frank, I had forgotten I had them. Anyway, I had already purchased this new set so out of curiosity I tried quite a number of them, i.e. the old versus the new. These new tips held up quite well in my unofficial and purely nonscientific test.

These nibs fit all my old pen holders but I do have two of the Speedball Sapphire models which are my favorite...one rather new and one rather old.

If these things are not abused and are kept clean as all pen nibs should be kept, there is no reason they will not last for years. The ink delivery is quite smooth and there is no "rough" feel about them.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with this product and am delighted with the price here on Amazon. To be honest, these cost me about four more bucks here at a local art supply house...teach me to do my research!

I have recently re-awakened a dormant hobby of drawing and calligraphy, deciding it was time for some new nibs. In the old days, I could walk into an art store and purchase (loose) a handful of nibs in various sizes. Today, I am forced to purchase a package that includes some I really don't want. Which is the case here. Overall, the package had what I needed and the price was certainly right.

used for 4-8 hours a day for a month. The nibs were scratchy at first, which was to be expected, but softened up the first day. I may have abused them with heavy use, but my main one doesn't write as well and I need to order another.

I wanted to get into calligraphy so I got this set along with Learn Calligraphy by Margaret Shepherd and some blue Waterman ink. Being a novice, I can't go too in depth, but so far I really like this set. There's a great variety of nibs for different purposes. I found some of the nibs to be, I guess you could call it "scratchy". These would pick up fibers from the paper, making the writing a bit fuzzy as well as the page. Granted this is a two dollar grid notebook I got merely for practice. Nonetheless, these nibs serve their purpose and I'm happy with my purchase. Maybe further down the road I'll invest in some Brause, but for now these are great. I especially like the A5 nib, it's definitely one of the smoothest.
