This is very fun stencil to use in mixed media. It is a little thinner than I would like but it does bend nicely on curved surfaces. I use it with both spray inks and sponging acrylics.

I don't buy gadgets. I would normally say, "Why pay someone else to collect items I already have!" This is the exception.

I bought one for my sister as a Christmas present a year ago. I used her's once on a recent trip we took and couldn't believe how much easier it was than my mix bag of stuff thrown together. Being able to have all your knitting essentials ready to go is priceless. Never wondering if you scissors are going to damage your knitting or pierce through your bag, or if you forgot a yarn needle is worth the cost.

I cannot get enough of this little kit. It has every must-have notion included and a little carry space to stick ones you might not already have. Crochet hook, scissors, stitch markers, needle stoppers, tape measure, thread snipper, stitch counter, and tapestry needle! All in a little hard plastic kit only a little bigger than my palm. I can't say how many times I've gone to someone's house with my knitting and gone, "Crap. I forgot the extra stitch markers I would need for the second half of this." Or, "Ugh, I was going to finish this piece here and give it to this person, but I have no tapestry needle to finish it."

The Knit Kit makes it simple, because rather than sitting there either making your own kit that would likely be far, far more messy and difficult to contain, all you do is grab the kit and go, and you know you've got basically everything you need for knitting. I can't recommend it enough. Quality plastic, excellent attention to detail, everything I want in a tool.

Very handy little set. It isn't going to have everything you need for every project, but it helps with most projects without having to carry around lots of little pieces. This set is very useful for travel. You can fly with these scissors b/c the blade is FFA approved.

I gave it only four stars because I am displeased with the counter. Mine has never worked right. The 10th digit sometimes advances, sometimes doesn't, and sometimes advances 2. I haven't seen anyone else with the same issue, so maybe I'm just that lucky! And my only other complaint is that I wish there was a place to put your name on it. When you get together with a group of ladies and a few of you have the same color, it get difficult to tell them apart!

I just said everything I know about this tool. I bought it for my wife and she carries it wherever her knitting takes her. She has given some as gifts. If you knit, it's a great tool....I think.

I have two of these and I just love them ... It is so easy to stick it in my knitting bag and I have all the essentials I need for the day. I have not had any trouble with mine everything works the way it should....the tape measure, the snips, and the crochet hook. Also the row counter works fine. I recommend this product and I am glad someone came up with this idea.

I read about this product in a recent issue of Model Railroader magazine. So did everyone else b/c when I tried to order it every merchant was sold out. I finally got it and it totally lives up to my expectations. Very easy to apply and control; produces a very pleasing effect.

Downsides:

It's expensive. The package contains a lot of product. Several lifetimes worth. The individual pans could be half the size and the retail price reduced somewhat.

The prepackaged kits do not contain enough variety of color to allow the use of one kit for basic needs. This kit contains many subtly different shades of gray/black which a basic modeler may not have the need for, and yet it contains no rust-like colors which would be very useful in combination with a few shades of gray/black.

If you know which colors to get you can buy them individually which is probably more cost-effective unless you want all of these colors at once.

I use these for weathering in model railroading. Though I use a fixative that is specific for pastels (Blair Matte Spray Fix), the pastels will still be altered. The lighter you applied the pastel the more it will "disappear" when fixed so you may loose that beautiful subtle effect you had achieved.

When weathering static structures (buildings) this is no problem and they do not have to be fixed. However on my engines and rolling stock that may be handled it may still be advisable to fix the pastel. (However you must admit touching up pastel weathering is crazy easy)

Like many loom knitters, I have a variety of looms. The KB All in One Knitting Board is my very favorite. The size is large enough for bigger projects, but small enough to work with conveniently. The pegs are smooth, grooved nylon, spaced 3/8" on center. The frame is polished hardwood. You can make flat projects or in-the-round projects with this very adjustable knitting board.

I have had this loom for about four weeks now and I love it! It is extremely flexible and very easy to use. I used to be able to knit with needles, but since my arthritis has gotten so bad I had to quit. With this loom, I can knit again! I know the company Knitting Board makes lots of other sizes too. I have their sock loom too. But this one is the most flexible! Thanks again for carrying it! I look forward to seeing more!

don't used cardstock!

I bought this to decorate our wine themed wedding invitations.

It cuts finer (under 100 gr/m2) paper like a knife with no effort and makes beautiful embossing. I tried it with paper close to 200gr/m2 and it still cut through; I had to push harder though and the embossing wasn't quite as nice,but still came out. Unfortunately, my choice of paper fell upon a very fine fiber silk paper to achieve natural look but the blades were not sharp enough to cut through. So I ended up cutting out each leaf by hand (only around the tips of the leaflets), which was a bummer. The edges came out as looking rather torn than cut.

Therefore, I would recommend this product for use with regular paper up to 200gr/m2 if you do not wish to fuss with the cutting. The longer side measures 60 mm.

Discount Copic Markers MLA2 Multiliner Inking Pen, Set A-2

Copic Markers MLA2 Multiliner Inking Pen, Set A-2
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought my first set of multiliners five years ago, when I first started inking. They've always worked extreamly well, with only a few insconsistencies that can probably be accounted to the aging ink. After my .3 pen died, I finally had a reason to get a new set.

After five years, I'd forgotten how smooth the ink was when I first bought the pens. But the few picture I've done since I got the new set have been a dream to ink!

I highly reccomend these to both professional and amature artists looking for a high quality set of inking pens. The variety in sizes is excellent, and the price is more than reasonable. I'll definately be ordering again hopefully in less than five years.

These pens by Copic are WONDERFUL. The ink dries on contact so I don't have to worry about smearing. There is a wide variety of sizes to choose from. I've been using them on my drawings with great success. And of course they work great with Copic markers without conflict (no bleeding when using Copic blending pen to push color back into place).

I purchased this set of markers for some storyboarding and found them to be really quite excellent. The ink flow is consistent without blobbing extra ink. I found that I could make smooth, even strokes with ease and the fact that you can flip the markers around for a thin or wide marks makes these really simple to use. In fact, I liked these markers so well I purchased another set of 48 to use on some 'color' projects.

I absolutely love these Prism color markers! I'm in Architecture school and I was hit with the challenge of using one media type "marker" for the entire semester in my presentations. So I purchased a set and thanks to these markers this was a condition i never regretted. They add so much punch to my presentations and I get really good feed back when critiques come around. What I really love about them is the kind of clean water color effect they have and the control you get when rendering, because these markers are doubt tip at both ends they present you with more flexibility and I like the fact that unlike other media types with these you can get a lot of color down quickly which means you save time rendering. Although I must point out that they demand confidence when in use, once you are sure of every stroke you land on paper they will work wonders for you and I find the monochromatic sets of 12 work really well because you get more control over tonality and your color scheme is more cohesive and the more layers you put down the better your work looks. Unfortunately these are quite expensive for art markers I think but still you will be glad you made your order! In conclusion, a good buy.

These markers are a great price, along with the other Prismacolor items found on Amazon. I live in Canada, and these markers were shipped to me much faster than i had thought. The quality of the markers are exactly as i had hoped: the different shades of grey and the different sizes of ends are awesome, easy and fun to use. I work with many different mediums in art, and i'm glad that there are 3 black markers in the box because i use them for many other art projects. Also, soon after i got this, i went to a Michaels arts and crafts store and saw the exact same markers on a shelf, there was one box left for over 80 dollars...So yeah these markers are pretty sweet.

Honest reviews on Primsacolor Premier Double Ended Chisel Tip and Fine Tip Art

Excellent for concept art and well worth the price. Three of the twelve markers in this set are black which I find somewhat disappointing yet tolerable due to the quality of the remaining nine cool greys and due to the fact that I neglected to properly read the description.

Bought this set because my previous set of 24 markers was completely lacking in the shading department. These hold up to the quality I expect from prismacolor and blend fantastically well with other prismacolor markers. I love that these are double ended, with two different sized tips per marker. Though the blunt end was a bit large for my application, I can see where it would be useful. Definitely worth the amount I paid.

These do not come wrapped in plastic so the white was dirty.

The production description says "six 1-1/4 diameter chenille stems" you actually get ONE 6 foot stem that is about an inch thick.

These are nice and thick and plush, though the wire in them does not seem to be any sturdier than a typical chenille stem which makes them floppy. I had to twist in a wire for stability.
