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.

Honest reviews on Artists Acrylic Brushes- Set of 5 by Winsor & Newton

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.

These brushes are fantastic! The tips stay nice and firm and holds well together, making it much easier to paint fine details.

Review of 3M Command Medium Picture Hanging Strips Black 4 Sets/Pkg; 3

Customer Ratings:

I was thrilled to find that 3M came out with some black strips. I used these to mount speakers to my treadmill. I've used the 3M picture hanging strips since they came out. I first used them to hang framed certificates in my work cubicle. Then I finally got my act together and hung up a ton of framed photos in our hallway at home. This was SO much easier than using a hammer and nail. I used a small level to make sure that the frame was level and then just stuck it to the wall. (I NEED to use a level because other wise everything leans in one direction.) And if I accidentally stuck it a little bit uneven, as my husband is so willing to point out, once the adhesive has set, you can pull the picture off the wall and make your adjustments. Pulling the picture off the wall leaves the other part stuck on the wall, so it's just a matter of resnapping the pieces together.

I feel the need to vent my spleen at speedball. They make the worst nibs I've ever used. They'll rust on you, even if you take good care of them, and once that happens say goodbye to the quality of your line work. They're not the best I've ever used even when they are new. Don't buy them, it's false economy. I wish I knew the brand I was using back in the day, but I tended to just buy whatever loose nibs were available. My advice is, make sure your nibs are made of steel and that it's decent quality. Also, don't buy speedball. Ever. They don't know what they're doing and your nibs will go to pot almost immediately.

If you love drawing in color and you are a purist than you'd rather acquire these color pencils! Moreover they are from America, and unfortunately not sold in France. I love the Faber Castel Polychromos, and above all the Caran d'Arche Pablo, but these ones are even better!Their color is so intense due to the rich pigments, it is amazing! They are made with wax, which gives a kind of creamy colored texture on the paper, great! They are really easy to draw with, a real pleasure! You need an electric pencil sharpener because on the contrary the lead will break. If you want to, you can mix the colors with a blender, a pencil made on purpose for sale on this site.

These are great pencils and very good quality. Assortment though just 12 basic colors but easy to blend. Price is good too.

Honest reviews on Prismacolor Premier Colored Woodcase Pencils, 12 Assorted Colors/set

I used these as a child and have bought them for my children to use. The cores are thick and smooth. In all the years I've used them, I have very rarely found one with a broken core. The colors blend beautifully and consistently. They are more expensive than many other brands out there, but they are worth it. I believe children should use good quality color pencils, so they can learn to love coloring and art. Color pencils which don't blend well, are prone to breakage, and are hard and don't cover the paper with brilliant colors are frustrating and not worth the money saved. Because the colors blend so well, it isn't necessary to buy a large set to begin with. You can make many color combinations with these twelve pencils. This is a great way to teach children color theory. For this reason, I always start my kids with this smaller set. After a few years, I get them more colors. Prismacolor sells individual colors, so it's easy to replace the ones that are used faster, no need to buy an entire set then.

You have to sharpen them a lot. The colors were bright and did blend well but the constant sharpening was annoying. I bought some woodless color pencils instead. However the store who shipped them was prompt and packed it with care.

These average size needles work well and last. Plastic needles can break. Wood needles are fine once you get all the roughness wore off. Aluminum needles don't snag the yarn and don't break or splinter.

Review of Clover Takumi Bamboo 5-mm Crochet Hooks, Size H

Customer Ratings:

I purchased a few of the Clover bamboo crochet hooks when learning how to crochet. First, they are so wonderful to work with. I love the wood feel. The more you use them, the softer they get. Second, I like that they are natural and renewable and not made in Mexico from aluminum. These were manufactured in Japan. However, these are over-priced on amazon. I purchased these for around $3 each. Highly recommended.

I have been using the aluminum crochet needles so switching over to a bamboo needle takes awhile to get used to. Felt a little "sticky" when trying to pull the yarn through the loops.

I got this bamboo needle because I wanted to be able to take this in my carry-on luggage so I can do some crocheting on the plane and while waiting at the boarding gates. This is a much better alternative than the plastic ones.

I'm used to the basic metal hooks, this one doesn't slide through acrylic yarn very easily. I'm willing to try it on other fibers, though, I absolutely LOVE their knitting needles.

It's ok, the head of the hook is a little shallow. It would be great if it was a deeper grove.

I think this kit is great for beginners like me. I had only went to one jewelry making class at the local library. This kit has a useful tool and pretty beads to work with. Also the instructions included were easy to understand and follow. I have made almost all of the items listed on the box and didn't have any problems. I like the bead mat also and use it often when making any other jewelry. I would recommend this kit for anyone interested in making jewelry. It's fun!!

This is great!! I was expecting the bag to be of a lesser quality, but I was wrong! It perfect for the artist on the go, it holds all your materials in its several compartments, and it has a lot of zippers that keep stuff secure. I love it! I especially like the sketch pads. They'r really great quality, thin but great quality. Pro art always impresses me. If you pass this up you'll regret it! At Hobby Lobby this would be like 80 or 90.

Discount Scrapbook Kit

Customer Ratings:

This scrapbooking kit was pretty easy to use considering it was the first scrapbook I've ever made. It came with a couple cute additions to put on the pages, but it was not enough to use throughout the book so I had to buy some extra supplies. The only real negative thing about this kit was that the book was very hard to keep open. If you open to a page it will be slightly bent and may flip to the next page. Overall, I was able to make an extremely nice scrapbook for my friends birthday and everyone I showed it to loved it.

This was the first kit I purchased, when I started scrapbooking. I wasn't sure I would enjoy scrapbooking so I decided to buy a kit instead of investing in all the materials I would need to start one from scratch.

This kit was perfect. It has layouts of pages, ribbons, buttons, tags etc.

I bought these for my niece Ariel when she was expecting her first baby. Looking for something to do I had sent her favorite coloring books & nearly sent her the wrong type of markers. When you use these markers ,they are so vivid in the pigments on the pages. You just can't use any marker. They don't fade over a period of time. I own and used these very markers on my coloring books that go back as 1980-1992. They look as you just colored them yesterday.So I told Ariel to always date them & signed them. Put them away for a bit restart to color & compare which is brighter while coloring the pages. Very vivid.

Nice pairing of embossing folders, both suited beautifully for Christmas. I've been using the holly folder with plain gold metallic cardstock, pairing it with some holly print cardstock with glitter highlights for some Christmas cards. Very nice!

The music folder will be used after Christmas to create a set of greeting cards for various events (birthday, thank you, sympathy, anniversary, etc.), all with a "music" theme.

I use these in a Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine, and they're super easy to use. Cardstock goes in the folder, folder is sandwiched between two acrylic plates, the sandwich goes on the platform with one tab open, and the whole thing is cranked through the machine. What could be easier?

I own several embossing folders, and this set is one of my favorites.
