Cheap 20 Spools Embroidery Machine Thread
It is hard finding the currect colors for skin tone embroidery. These spools give you a basic to skin tone color and a great place to start wheather you get the 10 or 20 spool packs. I know they make a hair tone packs as well, but have not seen this on Amazon website.

Buy Royal Brush Langnickel Soft Grip Brush Set Value Pack
List Price: $29.95
Sale Price: $22.37
Today's Bonus: 25% Off
First, I don't understand why some reviewers have said that this comes with a terrible apron. It comes with a durable brush roll (that has room for more brushes if you have them!), but if you tried to use it as an apron, I guess you would end up disappointed too! :)
I discovered these Soft Grip brushes, by Royal Langnickel, when a teacher let me borrow one. I was surprised at the feel and control the grips give you. I don't know why more brushes are made this way. The grip allows for those with poor motor control or difficulty in holding brushes, a way to comfortably paint again. However, that bonus works great for those of us who haven't reached that stage in life yet. Might as well choose comfortable before you need comfortable, right?
Beyond just the grip, what sold me on this line was the incredible snap. So smooth and controlable. Not like some dollar store brush that collaspes the second you wet it. Plus, the clear plastic doesn't flake off handle paint (as it has none) like brushes from other manufacturers. I hate that because you get a rough handle that is annoying. Doesn't happen with these.
I use them for both my acrylic and my watercolor work without any problem. Can't think of a negative other than the plastic can they come in is only packaging and not a fancy reusable item. Oh! And it doesn't come with an apron! lol

Let me clarify absolutely that these are short-handle brushes (not long, not in-between) and they are NOT professional artist grade. They do come in a nice range of sizes and types and are decent quality beginner, student or amateur brushes. This set is a nice, inexpensive way to experiment with different brush head types, with one caveat which is the fact they are all short-handle. Note that the soft grips on all the brushes abut directly on the ferrule and due to this and the short-handles, these brushes are best for close-in and/or detail work, although they will work just fine for all general painting purposes plus you can grip the brushes by the end to get something of the feel of working with a long-handle brush. These are decent brushes and you get a lot for your money price is very good at $1.67 per brush and these brushes are certainly worth that and I do like the look and feel of the clear plastic handles and hope they will stay cleaner than the wooden handles on some of my other brushes we will see! I personally have no use for the included plastic brush wrap I wish they had included a nice cotton one instead and/or glued some of that styrofoam-like stuff they use for flower arranging into the top of the case cylinder so that it could do double-duty as a brush dryer (you poke the handle of the wet brushes into the styrofoam, then turn the case upside down that way the brushes dry head down so they retain their shape and the ferrules and handles aren't ruined from water/turps damage I may try making this modification myself). I will upgrade this review if I find these brushes perform better than expected (so far I have only washed and tested a few of them).Best Deals for Royal Brush Langnickel Soft Grip Brush Set Value Pack
You do get a nice variety of brushes. I like to use brushes with the grip. The downside is the quality is just okay. They are better suited for Children's craft projects rather than Oil painting. They are falling apart on me.Honest reviews on Royal Brush Langnickel Soft Grip Brush Set Value Pack
The saying goes, "you get what you pay for." Yes one certainly does with this Value Pack...It's a great price for 12 brushes, and is more of a starter/not-expert kit for people doing acrylic [which is what I'm using it for], oil or water painting. The 20 different brushes all have a very soft rubbery ergonomic grip in the hand, which makes holding it comfortable especially since I'm a lefty and hold the brushes hard and use it for hours on end. There are a variety of brush sizes available, from tiny short bristles, to medium to large and XL bristles. The brush hairs themselves are soft and work pretty well...Again I'm only doing acrylic, but after about a couple months and maybe only 5 small canvases, the hairs have started falling out. I mean not even just a few strands that come off during painting, but large chunks of maybe 5-10+ hairs coming out of the larger brushes! That is pretty BAD quality!The plastic caddy that the brushes come in is handy for traveling or just easy storage where you won't end up crushing the brushes or the ends. Each brush tip does come with a plastic hollow tip to also protect them, altho can get easily lost. I use the top part of the plastic caddy as a water-cup, it's cheap and easy --basically what this whole Value Pack is. Once you've learned more of how to paint and want to spend more, you'll have to as this thing might just fall apart!
There is a nice included dark blue brush holder/bag that separates all the brushes and helps you organize and know when brushes are missing/etc. Overall GREAT price, DECENT quality recommendable but upgrade if you're serious about art.

I have not painted for years and wasn't sure what to purchase. I'm very happy with these brushes. I like the soft grip, the brushes hold their shape, and the carrying sleeve is very functional.Sunday, December 28, 2014

I just can't imagine charging a customer the same amount of shipping as the cost of the product when it comes to "stickers." They are "stickers." Put them into an envelope and ship. It should cost no more than $1 and that is a high estimate.Saturday, December 27, 2014

Review of Rotring Sketching Art Pen F - fine
This is fantastich!
Everything good about a pen is here; weight in hand, smoothness, flow, and even grip, despite a lack of that 'gummy' stuff that's so popular now. I love ROtring nibs, and this one is no different. They're durable as all get-out and have an iridium tip that sets them a class above plain old steel, although they aren't top of the line gold-plated.
The bad thing is that the pen can't be topped. You can't put the cap on the top once you take it off. I should have noticed this, of course, but I didn't, and it's really annoying because I have to put it in my pocket when I don't have a desk. Also, the pen itself is pretty long and didn't fit in my coat pocket. I thought about putting a hole in the pocket just to fit it because I loved it so much, but then I left it in Tennessee....

While it is a little bit light in the hand, this Rotring pen write beautifully. The nib flows smoothly over the paper (no scratching, as with some lower quality pens). The cartridges snap into place securely, while a spare cartridge fits upside down in the top part of the pen. The ink flows well and very opaque. Overall, an excellent ink pen for the money.Best Deals for Rotring Sketching Art Pen F - fine

hey, i just baught this copic set along with a few others and there really really super great. i was scared to be getting al these exspensive markers at first and blew them off for a while but im glad i finally gave in to these beautys. there really easy to get used to and they work almost like a paintbrush, not much of a pen feel (i tend to only use brush tip). the only thing i would want everyone to know is that the paper you use these markers on does matter. they work best with the copic marker pad. i tried it on regular paper and sketchbook paper and it makes the quality seem bad, also it bleeds really easy. but!!! these markers are one of the best things ive ever invested my money into and i would suggest it to anyone who has a passion for art (;Honest reviews on Copic Markers 9-Piece Ciao Manga Set, Pastel

List Price: $232.20

I love really big brushes that can perform all sorts of tasks . The Da Vinci Maestro Series 35 number 11 (you have these numbers reversed in your ad but the brush was correct), has a fat belly that holds a lot of paint and a very beautifully pointed end that does not split in use, so it goes from huge wash strokes to expressive figure strokes to finest flowing detail lines without a hitch.

These are great. I have 1 set of these, and will probably order another in the near future.
The bullet and cylinder shapes are good for all-purpose polishing. I have a harder time using the large disks, but I might have some projects in the future that they might be good for. We'll see.
The only thing I can maybe gripe about is the price. I with they were a little cheaper, but these have been some of my most-used polishing mounts. So maybe the cost is justified.nice little set of buffers to fit my Dremel TYPE tool perfectly. I've never had a problem with Amazon orders so I will definitely come back when I need more of these items.

There was a problem with the adhesive on the rhinestones. Silhouette learned of the issue, yet I'm not sure they informed any of the purchaser's. I notified Amazon who fulfilled the order TWICE with defective product. I ended up with no starter kit and a hole in my new hoodie. I did get the refund for the kit from Amazon, but that was all.

After seeing the video for this kit I couldn't wait to get it and I waited until they had them in stock. I think the kit is old though. Alot of the rhinestones didn't have backings (they were floating through package), the brush seemed to fall apart and leave strands all over the black template material and it wasn't as smooth as I saw in the videos. The kit presented on the Silhouette website has different template material and a different brush. I think had this of been the most recent kit available I would have loved it but because it's the older version I'm returning it.Best Deals for Silhouette Rhinestone Starter Kit

There are no written instructions on the steps to accomplish this. I had to watch a YouTube video over and over to make sure that I was doing it right. You don't want to waste your materials. The velvet was hard to separate from the backing board, and I ripped my pattern twice before I was able to get it separated. Silhouette does not do a good job with instructions on this machine.Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Discount Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Miniature Brushes 0
I have the zero, one, and two in these mini brushes. These are the best you can buy and are wonderful. BUT they are for detail work or paintings where the person sits, they are not for huge paintings. I work with tiny details and honestly I could probably benefit from even smaller brush sizes. They wash and dry well, they have maintained their shape nice, but still need to be re-sculpted after a few days, which is simple just use brush soap, shape brush with soap in it and let it dry. These are so amazing!
My first Series 7 brushes lasted for almost 4 years (They are still useable now, but can no longer hold the fine point needed for detail work). They're pricey, but well worth it,

Reviews of Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Rectangles Die Set
List Price: $24.99
Sale Price: $21.98
Today's Bonus: 12% Off
I don't agree with the other reviewers. I found these dies to be extremely flimsy and bent upon the first use in my Cuttlebug.
I also find they don't make clean cuts, even after running it through the machine a few times with the right plates.
What's more, these "rectangles" are not shapped properly for card making. The width times length ratio is not right. They are too long and narrow. I was going to use them for card fronts and they're just too narrow and long for the standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" card front. If they cut better, perhaps they'd make okay tags. But then, my paper trimmer could do that just as well.
I have plenty of Spellbinders, Sizzix, Cuttlebug and older Quickkutz type dies and those all work fine. What a waste of money these were and they weren't a good deal at all for $24 if I can't use them.

First, these have many graduating shapes versus Spellbinders where you get far fewer dies for the same price. Second, they're great in tight places for very exact cuts (when saving paper or layouts are close together). Third, the graduating shapes allow easy, precise layering. Fourth, this provides, for my machine (which most people would have) the largest die that will fit.Thought about giving just four stars just because they are a bit flimsy; although their thinness is what allows them to store compactly?

Love this item! Cuts great! I use these for so many things but mostly for cards. I use my ribbon punch to attach them to cards and many other things! Thanks so much!
