Holiday Tea Cup and Saucer - Red, Green and White Swirl Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I received these as a review sample and while they are perfect for holiday use, the design is also suited to every day.

These are not lightweight cups and saucers. They appear to be made of thick porcelain with vivid glazed on colors. One thing I notices is they have excellent heat retention properties because my coffee and tea seemed to stay hotter longer.

Artistically the saucers have the swirls, with just a hint on the cup handles. The rims of the cups and saucers appear to have a platinum colored ring. I am not sure of the actual metal used, but they spark in a microwave, so are not microwavable.

Physically the cups are about 3 and 1/4 inches across the flared mouth and 2 inches at the base. They stand 2 3/4 inches tall and hold 8 ounces when filled to the brim. The causers are six inches in diameter.

Overall these are very high quality cups and saucers that are suitable for tea or coffee. While the design has a holiday vibe they are a nice splash of color for any time of the year. Especially if you like red. I will be using these as my primary set for guests, and have set aside one cup/saucer for my personal everyday use because I love the way they retain heat and keep my beverage hot.

Decent product for the price.....the color, gold, is a bit "80s" (silver would be better) but they work, are easy to use and were shipped promptly....if they were silver, I would have given this review a 5 stars...

Discount Strathmore Artist Tiles 4x4, 20 Pack, Bristol Vellum Surface 300

Customer Ratings:

This is a great beginner set to do Zen-Tangles. or any kind of small drawings you may enjoy doing. I have doodled all my life as well as other artistic endeavors; but this "organized doodling" is great. This little set fits nicely in your purse/pocket for those moments in life when you are left hanging/waiting/etc. with nothing to do. Whip out your little kit and zen-fully let your mind wander as your pencil, pen and paper accept your masterful art work, one mark at a time. It takes no artistic talent at all, if you are concerned. I do recommend "the basic Zen-Tangle booklet" though just to get you started. You can also get excellent instructions off the computer (Zen-Tangle) and on YouTube. I've already shared this fun activity with several people, who are in awe when I show them what I've done already and how to do it for themselves. They keep asking, "You did this?" I hope you give it a try and have as much fun as I'm having. Enjoy!

Cheap Extra Firm Color Shapers Clay Wallet Set, Size 0

List Price: $37.95

I am hard on clay shapers, and these, so far, have held up VERY well. I will definitely buy these again, as the price is amazingly less than most comparable products, but the quality is definitely there.

The only "problems" I have are:

(1) I wish they were 2-ended to save space on my workbench, and allow me to have 2 tools in my hand at once.

(2) that there was an option to have shorter handles (even with 2-ended) I do a lot of detail work, and risk "poking my eye out" with these.

However, these are not truly problems, as I knew what I was buying, and I'm going to take a saw to the handles!

I just love these! I debated and waited for a long time, not really wanting to spend almost 30.00 on 5 tools, but I'm glad I finally bought them! I love them. If you work with polymer clay you need these, get the extra firm, I'm really enjoying them!

All the difference in the world is having the proper tools. This is expensive for a very good reason: it is incredible. It flows across the paper beautifully. It holds color without dripping and retains its shape. If you want to take your painting serious, you have to have quality equipment. This is a the best start.

Review of Simply Spray Upholstery Fabric Spray Paint 6 Pack- MIDNIGHT BLACK

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $71.94
Sale Price: $57.00
Today's Bonus: 21% Off

At about $10.00/can, this product is not worth the money. It's sort of deceptive that 8oz of paint is in a 16oz can, you can feel it's about 1/2 full, and it runs out quick! I HIGHLY recommend starting on the flat (horizontal) surfaces first! About 1/2 way through the can, you won't be able to tilt it anymore and get a good even spray without it 'spitting'. The second half of the can you use on the vertical parts. A SIX PACK does not do an entire 3-seat sofa! You will need at LEAST 10 cans to do this, minimum. Each can of this product lasts about 1/2 as long as a comparable can of regular spray paint.

I bought this product to turn a DARK GREEN sofa black, should be easy, right? Nope! I knew I had only one shot at this so I approached it carefully. I started on one side to see how much area this product would cover, and the first can did about 4 cubic feet. I immediately realized I could NOT do the entire sofa so I did NOT do the back side. I barely got adequate coverage for ONE COAT not including the back of the couch. So now I have a REALLY dark grennish-black sofa.

Of course, there was one defective can in the batch and that didn't help. If this were $2-3/can I would say go for it, but at $10/can, it's not worth the money....

EDIT: 10/9/2012

I forgot to note that there was a very rough feeling to the couch after this was applied. I thought it would go away after some use, but it didn't. It gave the smooth velour couch a rough scratchy feel, and if you sit on it with no shirt, it's very uncomfortable! In fact, even with short sleeves! Almost everyone that sits on it notices the "strange feeling". If they don't say something, I ask them, because I see them rubbing it, and they say, "I was about to ask...". On a durability note, it still looks the same after considerable 'rec room' usage.

Works as advertised. I painted a white/tan love seat from Ikea black. I am very satisfied by the result. I am disappointed by how many bottles it took. I had to use at least 12 to cover the whole thing twice. That cost me over $120 with shipping. I expected to be able to paint it for half that cost. The spray is inconsistent and doesn't cover very much area even when at full power. My fingers were very sore after use because you have to squeeze so hard to hope for a relatively consistent spray. Way more difficult to use than spay paint and doesn't cover nearly as much area either.

But it works on fabric, so there you go.

I have used the duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint. It flaked off after a few years, so I thought I'd give this a try. This product was a waste. I sprayed three cans of it into one fabric bench seat, and just barely changed the color. It went from tan to medium brown, when I was trying for black. I ended up going back to the duplicolor instead. It may peel in a few years, but at least it looks good for now.

Honest reviews on Simply Spray Upholstery Fabric Spray Paint 6 Pack- MIDNIGHT BLACK

So, I'm a big fan of vintage furniture and I found myself a couple of amazing mid century chairs at the swap-meet recently. While reupholstering them would have cost me about $500 I figured since they were in ok condition (just color worn) I would give Simply Spray a chance. With a lot of good press, videos, examples, endorsements etc. I was excited to give my restoration budget a little break.

In a nutshell, the overall look of the end product is great, if that was the only thing I was providing this rating on, I'd give this review 5 stars.

HOWEVER I'm not, so there are some things you need to know before you make this investment that I wish I was aware of!

There is no question that the amount suggested by Simply Spray for a project like mine was accurate. My chairs were a very light yellow color and I chose Midnight Black to modernize them. I used 6 cans on one chair excluding the removable seat cushion. I decided since that cushion removed, I'd dye it black to save me more cost from the fabric paint as well as allow me to keep the seat cushion feeling more like the original fabric versus "a very apparent" textured feel of the rest of the chair from the spray.

I had to order another 6 cans for the second chair, which I hadn't expected, so now I'm up over $120 in spray, not to mention time. I am left with some good appearing chairs but frankly no longer nearly as comfortable as they were plush and very soft before. I'm not sure if the word "soft" that was used consistently in all the Simply Spray marketing and on the can has a standard of identity; because my impression of soft was nothing like the end result and again light years away from what was felt before the Fabric spray. In my case these will be used in a vacation rental and likely not that often, thank goodness, because I really wouldn't want them to be part of any regular activity.

I'm a marketing guy and I can understand the hype of identifying an opportunity, creating a product solution and all the launch demands. In conclusion, I think the idea of a fabric paint spray solution is brilliant, and it's relevance is maintained from my POV. Kudos to Simply Spray for bringing the idea to an early reality. However, I just hope they evolve this unique product solution and work out the bugs based on consumer feedback and correct some of the unfortunate misleading information that come with the product and projects of sort. Godspeed to them in the evolution, I imagine there is a lot of competition searching out how they can play into this new innovation!

To those of you who have already gone down the same path as me and ventured into this with high expectations and came out a little disappointed, I feel the pain and the reward. To those of you considering this product; my suggestions are; 1. Avoid any furnishings you will or intend to use daily 2. Double your estimated quantity needed, and 3. Have fun with it!

New Letter H Vintage Alphabet Initial Wax Seal Stamp Initial Stamp Review

Customer Ratings:

This was inexpensive, so I ordered in case I ever wanted to add an extra touch to a birthday card or other note I was sending. Plus I am a big Game of Thrones fan, and I like the idea of having a wax seal. Anyway, I got this... it took a little longer than normal because it came directly from China, but I still had it within 2 weeks. The stamper is pretty straight forward. I would have given it 5 stars if it had anything indicating the top of the stamp which on an "H" is hard to tell, especially when wax is drying and you are in a hurry. You get what you see on this! The handle seems to be real wood, and the stamp itself does it's job, and looks good when stamped in wax.

Speedball Super Value Fabric Screen Printing Kit Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $38.21
Today's Bonus: 36% Off

The starter kits Speedball produces have all you need to screen print things fairly easily. The instructions are simple (too simple) and all the products are work-horse quality, meaning that they are not fancy and may take some adaptation but function as they should. This kit gets 3 stars because I recieved both the original kit and the replacement kit damaged due to very poor packaging on Speddball's part. The first kit had the photo-sensatizer (which is needed to make the emulsion 'cook' when exposed to light, allowing you to create a stencil) open and both dry and spilled down its side. One of the inks had cracked and started to leak but that was minor. The worst of it was that the screen filler jar was open and spilled over everything (including the screen) esesntially making the kit useless. The second kit had minor issues with the sensatizer (which I decided not to use since I ordered a separate emulsion kit anyway) and the paintbrush had its cover put on wrong, pinning about a fifth of the bristles to the side of the handle. I found this to be good enough and have overall enjoyed using the kit. the polyester in the screen is kind of cheap though, and if not taken care of extremely well it will start to haze up and will take on a bit of the ink each printing uses, leaving shadow images in the screen. The screen is also starting to sag after only 5 prints or so, and will have to be tightened soon. I wouldn't start a business with this, but for teaching the basics it works well, if you get it without damage.

I purchased this kit because I really wanted to get into screen printing and this was the cheapest way to start. For the price it was a good deal in my opinion. When it arrived 2 days later which seemed incredibly fast for free shipping I was very happy. When I open the box everything seemed to be intact, except the screen filler. Part of it had opened up and went on the screen and several pages of the instruction booklet. It only got a portion of the screen so it wasn't too bad. It does not come with transparency but you could get those printed at Kinko's for really cheap. When using the inks you must work pretty quickly because unless you don't it will dry up and clog up your screen, which I found out that dish washing soap works pretty well in getting that out. The squeegee was ok I can work with it. And if anyone is wondering the sensitizer is a paste, but its not going anywhere till you add the water and Shake Vigorously! I found that using a straightened out paper clip helps to get it out from the bottom.

Overall I think it was a good deal for the price and I'm happy with the outcome of the products that I produced with it:

But they should but more time into making sure their product is packaged correctly.

I bought this just to run some shirts for friends band. It is just basics to start or run small production line. Screen clogged often so had to rinse about every 5-7 shirts. Some other items will be needed so don't expect to start printing right out of the box.

Honest reviews on Speedball Super Value Fabric Screen Printing Kit

If you are new to screen printing this kit is a great way to get all the basic supplies you'll need to start. The only additional supplies that would be a good idea is a 9 x 13 (approx) sheet of glass and a BBA No 1 photoflood or clear 150 watt ican decent bulb (but you can use the sun if you don't want to buy a bulb and fixture). If you don't think you'll be good at holding the frame in place with one hand and pulling the squeegee with another then you'll also need a friend to help for a few seconds when you make the print. I was able to make a professional quality print by myself just by holding the frame in place on a t-shirt.

I suggest starting out with trying the positive screen filler method using the drawing fluid. The kit instructions say that it's easier to use a the stencil method first but I don't think anyone who is good at design will be satisfied with the stencil method (either too basic or too much time involved in trying to cut out more detailed stencils) and should just draw their design onto the screen with the drawing fluid (you can use a pencil first).
