Review of Moda Aspen Frost Charm Pack, Set of 42 5-inch (12.7cm) Precut
A little lighter in color than I wanted. Squares have been true to size so far, which is helpful to me as I am new to quilting and trying to match those corners and such. These will be part of gift to my sons family, placemats with their name on one square.I love the colors and the designs in the Aspen Frost line. I'm using them to make holiday gifts and can't wait to give them!

Reviews of Artists Acrylic Brushes- Set of 5 by Winsor & Newton
I got this set for my wife and she loves it... she's very particular about the type of paints and brushes she uses, so that says a lot! Shipping was very quick and the price is reasonable for this quality of brush.
Highly recommend this product!!!
Great to start out with watercolor or acrylics.

I am so happy with this purchase, they are great quality and are still like new after many uses. One night I forgot them in a water tin and the tips got a little bit curved, but when I cleaned them and let them dry properly, they got straight again! They are a bit long for traveling and storage.High quality.Highly recommend this product!!!

Don't want to spend alot of money on brushes when you start.. then you will love these. Good quality for cheap brushes. I have not had any problems with the bushes. Some cheap brushes curl up when used but I have not had that problem.Great to start out with watercolor or acrylics.

These brushes are sturdy and of superb quality. They hold the paint well and are capable of a variety of textures. While these could be used for small details, I recommend supplementing this set with a couple finer tipped brushes.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Artists Acrylic Brushes- Set of 5 by Winsor & Newton
These brushes are fantastic! The tips stay nice and firm and holds well together, making it much easier to paint fine details.Sunday, December 7, 2014

These markers are fabulous for "doodling" on shiny paper, especially black, then heating them with a heat gun so they run together and make ethereal designs for mixed media/collage work.Best Deals for Uchida 180-8A Marvy Metallic Markers, Assorted Colors, Set of 8

I ordered this to do a custom stencil (used contact paper and an exacto knife), so I cannot comment on the quality of the stencils, but the etching cream works really well. The box came in smashed on one corner, but luckily nothing was damaged (hence the 4 stars and not 5). Overall I was happy with my purchase and I look forward to using the stencils in the future.Easy to use, worked very well. The instructions are clear; I did etching for the first time with this kit and it worked beautifully. I did not use the stencils as I wanted to put something else on my project, but the cream, brush, and gloves were perfect for my project.

Discount Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint Fine Tip Marker, Anthracite Black
Great for kitchen crafts, would work well for kids crafts or at home use. So far Ive done three mugs and a bowl and had a lot of fun with it drawing paper airplanes, words etc.. At times, the ink is a little hard to get going, or else it will start leaking.. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for specific detail to re-sell products. It generally gets you the hand-drawn (but creative!) effect. Ive baked them all in the oven to make them permanent, as per instructions, and taken care in hand-washing the wares, but with the bowl (my first attempt) parts of the drawing have already started to chip off! Overall its a fun crafting addition and my friends have been impressed, but I don't know if I'd buy this specific marker again.

I spent about two hours shaking and depressing the tip trying to get the paint to come out before I finally gave up. The most that ever came was a faintly black tinted liquid. Returned, no questions asked. Glad Amazon has great service!Best Deals for Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint Fine Tip Marker, Anthracite Black
I bought two of these pens to decorate new plates and bowls with. One I never could get to work and the other worked well on a couple of plates and then started having issues. I tore apart the tip and cleaned all the parts with nail polish remover and got it to work again. Unfortunately it only worked on one more plate. I did not want to purchase another one just to try and finish the rest of the plates.Honest reviews on Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint Fine Tip Marker, Anthracite Black
Of all the porcelain markers I've used, this runs the least and is easy to clean if a mistake is made. It was also nice to be able to create dishwasher safe creations by letting the marker set and then baking the items (I decorated coffee mugs).Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint Fine Tip Marker, Anthracite Black

Review of 27 Piece Lowercase Handwritten Alphabet Letters A-Z Punch Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $43.49
Sale Price: $24.09
Today's Bonus: 45% Off

I loved the personalized necklace that i received for my baby-shower, and really wanted to try to make my own! After reading several how-to blogs and researching different sets I didn't feel ready to spend $250 on set sold by one of the big retailers. I purchased this one and although it is extremely difficult to align all of the letters I feel like its a good deal for the price.
The more expensive sets have the letters placed on the stamp according to where it would generally be placed when writing: the lower case y is not center in the middle of the stamp it is lower on the stamp. The lower case f would be placed higher on the stamp. But this stamp set has all of the stamp centered in the middle so the artist will need to compensate for the placement.
Also, this set is 2mm, which is TINY! The majority of the hand stamped jewelery that's listed on ebay and etsy is between 3mm and 5mm. IF you are planning on oxidizing your items then this size is fine.
One great thing about these is that the slant of each letter is right on! IF you would like to start selling hand stamped jewelry, i would recommend purchasing a more expensive set, if you are just wanting to dabble around with hand stamping this would be the set for you!
I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone

Review of Janome Hemmer Feet (4mm & 6mm) for Horizontal Rotary Hook Models
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $20.77

I ordered this set of presser feet for my new Janome machine. I expected to receive Janome feet, as pictured, in the original packaging. What I received was two presser feet in a zip-top baggie, with a photocopied sheet of "instructions." Nowhere in the product information stated that some off-brand presser feet would be sent. I tried them on my machine, and they did not fit well. I went to a local store that sells Janome accessories, and compared them, and they are nowhere near the quality of true Janome feet, for nearly the same price. I requested to return the items, which I have to pay return shipping on. I am NOT pleased with this company, and will not be purchasing from them again. I will be purchasing all Janome accessories from an actual Janome dealer. Lesson learned.

I bought a gently used Janome and it was missing its hemmer foot. This package has 2 sizes of feet to make a small or medium rolled hem for clothes, napkins, seams, whereever a rolled hem would work best. I don't want to say the 6mm is 'large' vs medium like I called it because I would use it for napkins or tablecloths where there might be an issue of the fabric unraveling with too little of a roll. It's great having a choice of hemmer feet and they easily snap off and on as needed.Best Deals for Janome Hemmer Feet (4mm & 6mm) for Horizontal Rotary Hook Models

I don't use this for linoleum, but for pumpkin carving. It works okay on light/ pliant surfaces, but the blade tends to come loose, get stuck, or turn sideways on anything more resistant. Since it's not the use the product is intended for, I can't really say that it makes it deficient, but it should be considered if the products you're using it on might need a tougher tool.Best Deals for Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1
This is a great little tool for the money. I have used it, my friend has used it..and it;s still VERY sharp. I do NOT advise this for a child as it WILL take off a finger. BUT, for an adult, who wants to carve their own letterbox stamps, it is invaluable.I know own TWO of these.... just in case one breaks or I lose a piece... or a friend wants to borrow one :-D
Honest reviews on Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1
This Speedball Cutter is such fun to use to carve your own rubber stamps. I just watched some video's on line and got the gist of how to do it. At first I thought it was easier said than done. But after a few tries, I love it. Have already made 3 stamps. I tried a very detailed drawing first which I do NOT recommend doing. Start out simple and you will enjoy your Speedball Cutter more and not get discouraged. I bought some dollar store erasers to carve, they are made of rubber, hence a rubber stamp. Lots of fun~Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1
This is a great little cutter for the price. The #1 tip is a lot finer than other products which really makes it a five-star product, but the uncomfortable plastic housing and temperamental chuck makes it a four-star overall.It's infinitely better than other lino cutters that are more readily available in hobby stores or art stores here in the UK.

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.

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.
