These patterns are adorable and easy to embroider; the transfers work perfectly, dark enough to embroider over but wash out easily after you're finished. They make for really cute tea towels.

If you want to do calligraphy, this is a good set. It comes with only 3 nibs and they are 3 calligraphy nibs, however. I purchased an additional set which had all of the nibs I wanted. So, if you can do with only 3 calligraphy nibs, it's fine. The pen is the traditional black wooden pen, and the ink is Speedball Super Black, which is fine with me.

I'm glad I bought the package, it's worth it, but I did know I'd be buying additional nibs.

This product is for someone who already has practice and skills in calligraphy writing. The nibs are very good and give clean strokes and the ink can handle any kind of paper that you use without bleeding. The 3 nibs, the holder and the ink = you could not get it for a better price.

Best Deals for Speedball Calligraphy Set

This calligraphy set is great for anyone new to the art of calligraphy

The set includes 1 bottle of permanent black ink, 1 pen holder and 3 nibs

The pen itself is easy to assenble but as far as directions go,

you'll need to buy a seperate book that teaches you what to do

over all I like it for the price,

good for anyone who's never done calligraphy before

Honest reviews on Speedball Calligraphy Set

It works, but it is nearly impossible to use and doesn't come with directions. The ink doesn't come up so don't spill it on anything. Also, the ink always sinks through even the thickest pages, and smears everywhere.

Bought this airbrush for $60 during the Cyberweek madness. It's been very very good to me, allowing me to basecoat a ton of miniature wargaming figures for Warmachine, 40K and the like.

Only downside is that the bowl is a little too small, since it also has to work with the provided bottles, while the bottles seem to need more pressure than I want to use in most cases.

I also just sent this in for service. Despite the mistake being all mine, and admitting to such, Badger fixed it, and sent it back free of charge. Definitely a company that stands behind their products.

My wife decorates cakes and her airbrush was going on the fritz. I ordered this one and it is perfect.

Best Deals for Badger Air-Brush Co 360-7 Universal Airbrush Complete Set

I went from an inexpensive Badger single-action external-mix brush to this. It's like going from a skateboard to a BMW.

I had absolutely no problem getting used to the dual action lever. It was like I had used it all my life. Very intuitive. Three or four test sprays and I was off to the races.

I was doing detail work on seven theatrical flats these things are each the size of a sheet of plywood, and there were seven of them! I painted all over these flats in multiple colors (I'm glad I had also ordered a box of a dozen extra paint bottles). This brush could handle whatever I threw at it. My index finger cramped up a couple of times after hours of spraying I figured out how to work the lever with my thumb with good results. The width of the spray is controlled mainly by the distance to the workpiece. I could easily spray pencil-thin up to about two inches wide. Any further and the results are not very well defined (which can sometimes be good).

My old brush would constantly clog (the paint would dry at the tip of the atomizer nozzle if I didn't spray for a couple of minutes), and I had to adjust the height of the atomizer nozzle every time I changed paints (because they would never be the same viscosity). It was usually trial and error to get the height correct (mostly error). This brush doesn't even HAVE an adjustment it just works with whatever you put in it. It will even spray latex paint unthinned, but not as well as mixing in a little water.

The only time it clogged was when I sprayed some old paint that had some gloopy bits. The brush is not really designed for easy cleaning. You can clean the nozzle easily enough, but not the part between the hose connector and the nozzle (where the gloopy bits of paint got stuck). I had to soak it in that stuff that you use to clean dried latex paint off of paintbrushes and then spray some of that stuff through the brush. It has never clogged when I was spraying clean paint.

When using it in gravity-feed mode you don't use a bottle you put paint directly into that little cone-shaped cup (usually with an eyedropper). It doesn't hold much, and you will go through it pretty quickly if you use much air.

My only complaint is that the paint bottles are glass. I was forced to make an exception to my "no glass allowed in my garage" rule. Using clear PET plastic would make more sense.

Having a set of cleaning brushes will make cleanup a lot faster especially cleaning the tube that feeds the paint from the jar. It takes a long time to wash paint out if you are just running water through it. Since you only have one of those tube/lids, you will clean it a lot if you are spraying multiple colors (as I was doing). Cleaning brushes will make that job take seconds instead of minutes. You might be able to get by with pipe cleaners. The airbrush itself is easily cleaned by just spraying water (which is driven at a much higher pressure).

What a fantastic tool! Expensive and worth it!

(If you find my review helpful, please "like" it thanks.)

Purchased these for a navy blue slim fit double breasted blazer and the buttons really pop! The American Eagle design is a small detail that makes a big difference as it adds an extra element of class that's very noticeable. I receive plenty of compliments and even all the ladies at my tailor shop raved about them. From looking at the picture I thought they'd have a cheesy brass look but not the case. They look more gold and feel very sturdy. Definitely worth the investment.

I am a serious penman, and do a great deal of calligraphy for weddings, special occasions, and other important events. I have a number of rather expensive calligraphy pens but none of them lend themselves to a rapid, smooth style. The problem is the ink flow. The little Sheaffer pens have a nice, steady and consistent ink flow and allow the calligrapher to produce nice flourishes and lettering without hesitation. If you "draw" your lettering, then the expensive pens are worth it. If you work for pay, then go with the Sheaffer...!!

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I quite like these italic pens:

cheap refills

smooth ink flow

3 different nib widths

easily see ink remaining

comfy, round grip (unlike the Lamy Safari)

I'm using it in conjunction with the book "The Italic Way to Beautiful Handwriting" by Fred Eager a good match.

==========

Update 2007-08-26

I'd like to knock this down to 3 stars. The lines become inconsistent (i.e, rather thin) on certain pages of my Moleskine notebook. In contrast, my Lamy Safari pen is perfectly consistent.

So I'd get both the Sheaffers with its variety of nibs, for calligraphy practice, and the more expensive Lamy Safari (1.1-mm nib) for writing for pleasure.

I got my set for $10 at Hobby Lobby if you're interested in this product. It was a great balance of what I wanted in a fountain pen three different thicknesses (although I prefer the finest one) and four colors. It took me a minute to figure out the ink cartridges (one is not in the pen when you get it), but once assembled it writes smoothly and easily. I'm not a serious calligrapher or anything, I just wanted a nice pen for formal, personal letters and this product fits nicely for me.

I love working with water brushes and wanted to build up my collection, so I would have one water brush for ever color of ink I'm using, plus some for just water to use with water colors. Since the price was great on these, they seemed a good way to do that, but you really do get what you pay for. They seem very simply/cheaply made and therefore just don't work like water brushes should.

Simply put they work horribly. First of all, the brush bristles don't have a point. They look like they do when they come straight out of the package, but they have been formed that way. Once you actually get the sticky stuff that kept the point in place (feels like dried hair spray) washed off, there is no more point and you'll never get it back. The bristles are very jaggedy.

The whole idea of a water brush is the self-wetting properties, but these really don't do very well with normal writing/drawing pressure like other water brushes. If you press a little harder (and I mean just a little,) either nothing much happens or you get big globs of ink (or water) dripping down. Sometimes the water/ink even comes out on top, where the tip is threaded to the tank handle!

There seems to be very little in between. Either it dries out or you flood it. And it can be quite random. This problem is mostly due to the fact that it's really just a plastic cap with a hole in it that has some bristles glued to it. Other water brushes have a whole mechanism, that ensures flow, prevents dripping etc Not these!

All in all a pretty useless set of brushes and a waste of money!

Do yourself a favor and get either a Pentel Arts Aquash Fine Point Water Brush, Medium or a Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small They are a little bit more expensive, but they really do an excellent job!

These brushes don't keep a point. The water flow is either blobby or nonexistent. The caps fall off and then your pocket gets wet. Avoid these, they're a complete waste of money. I use Niji waterbrushes now.

I'd give these no stars if I could. I bought them at a local craft store. I got them even cheaper with a 50% off coupon. They. Were. Not. Worth. It. They don't pick up much pigment, the brush isn't responsive and the caps don't stay on. Awful. I threw them OUT! Spend a little more and buy either the Pentel or Niji. both of which work fine. Water brushes are not as good as real ones, but they are good to use if you're trying to carry the minimum kit for "on location" (en plein air) painting.

Honest reviews on Royal Brush Aqua-flo Set 3

I had these 2 water brushes:

Pentel Aquash Water Brush 1/Pkg Fine Point

Price: $5.97

Price: $10.23

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DKHIIS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I thought I might like a little bit more flexibility in sizing; so I bought these. The points are good, and they look just like the picture, but I won't buy them again because they leak from the area where the point screws into the reservoir-handle. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) :) that's not a good thing when water-coloring. ;( I wish I had just bought another one of the Pentel brushes. It's pretty awesome, and I was expecting similar performance from these. I was mistaken.

I like that there are three brush sizes, and the sizes are good. But the pens release WAY too much water. The colors run and my paper gets too wrinkly. I would not recommend this if you're using watercolor pencils and/or painting intricate designs.

I like the product, but it seemed to me that the advertising for this product is unclear. Perhaps American Art Clay wants to keep it a little unclear which of the colors you will be receiving as they show you some colors, but they do not say which square corresponds to which color. I think that would be better...but I guess in the long run it doesn't matter so much. Another thing that is important to note is that these glazes are for cone 6 firings...so do some test tiles before actually using the colors on a cone 9 firing (some of them do work, but some of them don't show up at all if fired at the higher temperature).

If you purchased the supplies separately you would pay over 100. getting a easel that turns into a case and has all of the supplies for 60 dollars is a really good deal. But i would not recommend this too little kids they can easily swallow the pastel and charchol sticks.

Honest reviews on Royal All Media 124 Piece Sketching & Drawing Easel Artist Set

Looked at other reviews that said wood box fell apart and items where broken, but said look at all the good ones. Look at how much this thing is actually going for on the original website ($120). It must be worth the money and on rare occasions things happen.

Well let me tell you!!!

1. Front piece of wood that has bottom part of the latch fell of immediately. Looks like it was never glued or nailed down in the first place. That didn't bother so much because I own crazy glue. Problem fixed in seconds.

2. ALL SIX charcoal pencils in bottom drawer are broken into AT LEAST three pieces. No I did not do this. They were like this the first time I opened the drawer.

3. What is this wood box made of??? Cheap cheap wood is used. I feel like the whole thing will fall apart soon.

So happy I didn't pay the $120 and got it for $65 on here with free shipping. Still upset I wasted that money on such a cheap item.
