Seems to be well made and would buy again, or as a gift for someone else who needed this product.
Have to see if it stands the test of time... :-)

Buy Drimark Fabri-mark Fabric Markers 15 Color Set W/free Letter
We stumbled upon these by chance when we were on a cruise. My kids started a fabric art project, and didn't finish. We learned what brand the cruise line used, and bought the same markers to complete their art. Bright colors, last a long time. I haven't tested the iron colorfastness yet, and will post again if that doesn't work. I will start using these rather than Sharpies for T-shirt autographing based on that!this was included in a gift for charity so don't know how they performed or were a welcome gift....sorry I cannot rate.

Discount Apoxie Sculpt 1 Lb. Natural - Light Gray Epoxy Clay
Apoxie Sculpt is fabulous. It is odorless and nontoxic, and it sticks anything to anything, permanently. After 24 hours (or probably less) Apoxie Sculpt cures to amazing hardness, and can then be sanded, drilled, etc. It stays workable for a long time (but not the 2 to 3 hours claimed) and can be smoothed out with water and other tools. It's easy to add a texture to it, and it can be used with molds. It is paintable when dry. Buy the small size and try it for yourself.
You can mix this even three parts A, B and that flesh colored Super Sculpey (don't go more than a third part) for longer working time and less sticky. It will have to cure overnight, and takes a little more work to stick it to another surface if you do this but hardens just fine.

This stuff is great for sculpting. You don't have to cook or fire it, and it only takes a few hours at most to dry completely hard. If you need longer working time, you can mix in a few drops of water to hold off the drying process a little longer. It's inexpensive, durable, re workable, waterproof when dry and non toxic. It doesn't crack or shrink, It doesn't stink or stain your hands, it's non-porous and solid, and each of the 2 compounds comes in a plastic jar so you don't risk it drying out while you work, and there's no messy storing in saran wrap or plastic bags to deal with.Best Deals for Apoxie Sculpt 1 Lb. Natural - Light Gray Epoxy Clay
Easy to work with, gives you plenty of time to create before it starts to solidify. I made a beautiful chess set out of this stuff and the detail you can put into it is amazing. The best of all is that you once you finish your creation simply let it air dry for about 24 hrs and you will have a lasting durible art peice.Honest reviews on Apoxie Sculpt 1 Lb.

I bought this to customize Breyer model horses, and I love it. It gets a little sticky, so I recomment buying a little bottle of the safety solvent to use while you work (it's not expensive, and goes a long way)You can mix this even three parts A, B and that flesh colored Super Sculpey (don't go more than a third part) for longer working time and less sticky.

Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set Review
I purchased this product immediately after I bought my Brother sewing machine. However, after it arrived I realized that it is not compatible with my Brother machine. Hence I had to return it.
I wish in the "product description" of the product in the Amazon site the compatibility question was mentioned.
The product looked good from outside... If the compatibility question were mentioned in the web page the returns, I believe won't be necessary.
5 of my needles broke within the first 30 mins of light sewing, and the other 5 cut my thread within the first 5 stitches sewn. Talk about frustration! I had to stop my projects even had to hand sew a few things, then go to the store and buy another package of needles. In all of my 15years of sewing I have never had that many problems with a sewing machine needle, much less 2 packages of them.
I had no problems with the bobbins.

I have prime shipping so this comes to my door in two days without a delivery price. The product is wonderful. The needles work fine and you get 10 in a pack of various sizes. This is an extreme convince because the price is the same or lower than you would pay if you went to a fabric store and it comes with machine bobbins. I am very happy that amazon is selling this product online now.Best Deals for Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set
I have never had enough machine needles and bobbins. I have an ancient 1970s Kenmore, very basic sewing machine...that still works well, btw, and have always just threaded over a thread color with a different color on my bobbins. Not the best solution, but worked in a pinch. Now I can at least not have to do that with 3 thread colors :) This is a bargain. It's always good to have extra machine needles too. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of sewing something and not having a replacement needle if one breaks. VERY fast shipping too!Honest reviews on Sewing Essentials, 10 Sewing Machine Needles & Bobbins Set
I purchased these needles thinking they were a great deal, I wanted to pull my hair out when I tried to use them! I think out of all 10 needles only one worked well, but broke in half of a day. Your thinking all needles should work well right? So did I!5 of my needles broke within the first 30 mins of light sewing, and the other 5 cut my thread within the first 5 stitches sewn.

Reviews of Maries' Chinese Watercolor Set of 18 12 ml Tubes
This might be one of the very few instances where the item sent was better than the picture and description. If you look up Big Size 12 Colors Marie's Chinese Painting Colour(12ml) you will see a better description of what was sent. The difference being 18 colors instead of 12. At 18 12-mL tubes this is the best deal I've seen (at this time).
The colors provided, circle the color wheel and are a great started set. I did notice that the tubes had a good amount of air in them making the size of the tube containor disproportionately larger than the volume of paint in each. It didn't bother me so much because the price of the paints were well below smaller sets and sizes available.
The paints themselve look very similar to western watercolors. You can really see a diference when you use them on your Sumi/Chinese Caligraphy/rice paper. There is suppose to be a differnt kind of pigment binder in chinese watercolors making them better suited to these types of papers. I tested the western watercolors along side the chinese watercolors and notice that the western watercolors tended to bleed and diffuse out into the papers, resulting in a blur of running colors. If I added little to no water I could avoid this but since western watercolors tend to be more expensive then chinese watercolors it seem to not be the best approach. I was able to obtain crisp lines and vibrant colors using the chinese watercolors. Althouh the available colors for the chinese watercolor are limited they appear to be a better aproach for this type of media. I will just have to work on my color mixing techniques!

Quality control seems to be lacking on these paints. Some have a paste like American style watercolors, but some contain a bubbly, tinted liquid. It seems like the contents of the liquid tubes has separated and there doesn't seem to be enough usable color compared to other watercolors in a similar price range that I've purchased recently.Best Deals for Maries' Chinese Watercolor Set of 18 12 ml Tubes

15pcs Nail Art Gel Design Pen Painting Polish Brush Dotting Drawing Reviews
I ordered this product, and it came a day after I ordered it (I live in California) and I was very pleased. The brushes are very good and the only downside was that when taking the plastic off the brushes, sometimes the top part with the brush would fall off. But that was no problem considering that you could just stick it right back on. A very good purchase especially for the price.

Discount Koh-i-noor Versatil 5217 Set of 6 Mechanical Pencils
This is an inexpensive and very nice all metal set. If you have sat on a plastic barrel pencil you will know the value of a metal leadholder. I do have a concern however. As an artist I generally require archival(non-fading) colors, and as no information is given, I may decide to fill each with a different hardness of standard graphite. In either case the set is great. The sharpeners are obviously intended for fieldwork away from the drawing table lead pointer; since the set can fit in a pocket and has a durable metal case this is somthing I will carry around.
They also arrived in good shape and in a nice little tin holder with an eraser as shown. So product is good.
My only complaint was the shipping was slow. I ordered on Aug. 22 and just got my package today Sept. 6th.

I'm not an artist, but my mother is and she recommended this brand. These pencils are GREAT for note taking. The sharpener is screwed into the top of the pencil, which makes getting a nice point really simple. The leads are nice and thick, so they never snap. My mom wants her own set.Honest reviews on Koh-i-noor Versatil 5217 Set of 6 Mechanical Pencils

This set of six 0.2 mechanical pencils with sharpener built in is excellent set. Kohinoor is a reputed company in drawing equipment business. It took a while to arrive from Czech republic. The set is in excellent shape and came with a metal case. The colored leads are great. I may not use them immediately as I will be drawing using graphite leads(black and white). The mechanical pencils do not have clips. It would have been nice if they came with clips. Overall it is a useful set and if you are thinking of drawing using pencils it is a good substitute.Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Review of Royal Artist Watercolor Easel Art Set With Easy To Store Bag
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $38.85
Today's Bonus: 35% Off

I purchased this set for my 14 year old niece. She is extremely talented and primarily works with acrylics and sketch pencils. When she mentioned her interest in trying out watercolors, I ordered this set for her. She was beyond thrilled to receive it and immediately began using it. Some of the art she's created with this set is phenomenal. She loves the fact that it has a sketch easel attached to the box and its own carrying bag. When I asked her if the paint was easy to use, etc. she told me that it was really great and that she really liked them. I would encourage anyone that is starting out in watercolors to purchase this. It's of great quality and has endured a 14 year old's "abuse" of carrying it around everywhere she goes. Keep in mind the box is made of wood. Although it's wood, it is a little lower quality than a higher end set. In this range of artist sets, it is a wonderful product.

Cheap Foam Kit - Makes 42-Fish
I bought this for decorations for an under-the-sea theme. They were cute, easy to make, and lightweight so I could use magnets or tape to stick them on things. This would also be a fun project for little kids. My only complaint is that the description says it comes with magnets and mine did not. I had to buy magnets separately.

Best Spellbinders Bird Sanctuary Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $19.32
Today's Bonus: 3% Off

Please see customer image above for an example of a card where I used the small bird and large birdcage dies to decorate a friendship card. If my paper art magazines are to be trusted, birdcages are currently a trendy decoration for greeting cards, and this set of dies plays right into that trend. My only problem with this set of 'Bird Santuary' dies is that the large bird doesn't fit into either cage, and the smallest cage won't hold either bird.
I use my Spellbinders Shapeabilities dies with a Cuttlebug machine. The directions on how to use these dies with the Spellbinders Wizard, the Big Kick by Sizzix, and the Cuttlebug by Provocraft come with every set of dies, and they are very clear and easy to follow.
If you are going to emboss using a Cuttlebug and the Shapeabilities Spellbinders dies, you will also need to purchase a tan embossing mat which is sold separately from the Cuttlebug machine.
