Discount Munhwa Set of 24 Colored Pencils in a Tin
Very nice set. Artist quality pencils, rich colors, good range, easy to work with, nicely boxed. Only downside is that since they were shipped from South Korea, it took something like 12 days to get here. But this is minor; the product itself is outstanding.

This set is one of the best out there! I cannot believe that more people have haven't reviewed this. The letters may be simple but that's their power. They stamp cleanly on anything including permanent ink on acrylic paint. This can be used for traditional stamping of cards, etc. But they also work for art journals and scrapbooking. They would also be great with kids because they are so simple. You really can't go wrong with this alphabet. Amazon sells the number set as well.These letters provide good service in that they are not so prone to leave an edge (although you can manage it if you try) and are very crisp. I like the font and use these quite often.

Reviews of Easy Tunisian Crochet Hooks
I bought these in a moment of desperation wanting to try some designingvashti tunisian patterns that called for larger hooks and having searched high and low for some aluminum tunisian (afghan) hooks in larger sizes (i really cannot stand using bamboo)...I am very surprised to be saying that I REALLY like these hooks! I have just starting using the 9.0mm with some wool and the yarn is sliding so nicely-ZERO drag (>gasp!< definitely NOT my previous experience with plastic hooks) It has a generous 14" length and i love the shape of the head, which is tapered and pointy (easy to work with). The hook feels nice and light in my hands, but sturdy at the same time. I highly recommend these!

I agree with the first review, nice product at a good price. I have had a very hard time finding these larger hooks, the only other ones I found were bamboo (I hate them) and a hard wood that was way too expensive, one hook cost more than this set. I usually prefer metal hooks but these work well and the shape of the tip is nice. Now if I could find some double ended in the larger sizes (not bamboo) I would have everything I could ever need.Best Deals for Easy Tunisian Crochet Hooks
These came on time and work very well. They are light and easy to handle. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that one of the hooks had a little sharp piece of plastic sticking out that caught the yarn. I'm sure I could have had it replaced but it was easy to just file it down with a nail file and now it's fine. I can do the basic Tunisian stitch but need to get a book with other stitches.Honest reviews on Easy Tunisian Crochet Hooks
I really like these hooks. I'm making an entrelac blanket and started out with a different hook. But once I got these Tunisian hooks, the process is going so much smoother. I like the feel of them in my hand and they make it very comfortable to crochet the blanket.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Easy Tunisian Crochet Hooks
It can be difficult to find Tunisian crochet hooks in larger sizes. This set of four hooks fills the bill perfectly. They are smooth, sturdy and should last forever! I will definitely recommend these hooks to my needlecrafting friends.Saturday, November 15, 2014

Very reasonable price for an excellent selection of needle sizes: these are smooth enough to work with easily for a relative like me, but also seem sturdy (I haven't used the smallest size, but have used the US 2's, which didn't warp or bend). It is also nice that they are marked with both US standard size and millimeter measurement, which are burned into the wood and so should stay visible even after a lot of use.Sunday, October 12, 2014
Best Speedball Elegant Writer 6 Fine Calligraphy Markers Set, Assorted Deals

List Price: $9.99
Sale Price: $8.46
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

I have many calligraphy pens using ink well, fountain pens and disposable pens. I have bought calligraphy pens for similar price in the past and I must say that I was terribly disappointed in these. They are like markers with tips that SHOULD be like a calligraphy pen, but they are more like children's markers which you can buy at Walmart. Also when I wrote with then the tips have some stray edges that write really messy and weird. I was hoping that I could get the same effect as a regular fountain calligraphy pen set with these, but it seems that I could have used some Crayola markers instead.
Water color artists use them this way.
I emailed Speedball several times asking if the pen is archival and lightfast. There was no response.
Finally, I asked tech support at one of the stores and was told that the ink is acid free, but is dye based so
the color will fade in time.
This is unfortunate, because the the qualities of the pen are unique to markers, although there are crayons and
pencils that react with water.
I have never written a product review before but this product was a waste of money!
IN A NUTSHELL: 1) Caps don't stay on
2) They arrive with barely any ink in them
3) They go dry within minutes when uncapped (even mid project holding it in your hand!).

These are NOT extra-fine point, or even fine point, they are medium point, and not great quality either, very mediocre. Not quite worth sending back but definitely I won't be buying this brand again. I'd recommend saving your money and buying something better from a physical store where you can actually try the pens and get a sense of the quality.Honest reviews on Speedball Elegant Writer 6 Fine Calligraphy Markers Set, Assorted
I always keep a set of calligraphy pens around for note cards and addressing envelopes for personal mail. The first thing I noticed about these Elegant Writers is that the caps do not uniformly fit well. Some are so defective as to easily knock off sitting in your pencil/pen cup. Then I noticed the real problem. These pens feel so light that I wondered how they could have any ink in them? Now I believe there is barely any! I had placed the set along with the Staedtler duo calligraphy pens I had gotten in a large pencil holder cup. The tops kept knocking off the Elegant Writers and the first day, two went dry! Then I was working on a project using another Elegant Writer. I set the pen down because I was alternating pens and paint. When I picked it up within minutes, it had gone dry! I have barely had this set a week and three quarters of them are dry! Finally, and the reason I am taking time to write, one went dry as I paused with it in my hand!!!I have never written a product review before but this product was a waste of money!

Discount Pebeo Porcelaine 150 China Paint, Atelier Collection Set of 10
Today I received my Pebeo Atelier Workboxstill unopened. Just to be clearI'm only reviewing the marketing & info about the Pebeo Atelier set==> Totally (& perhaps deliberately) inadequate! Before buying, nowhere could I find the names of the 10 colors included in the kit. If this was a deliberate omission, it's a cynical way to get buyers (like me) to buy, hoping the needed colors would be included. If this was not deliberate, it's incompetent marketing. Either way it leaves me hoping the actual product is not as disappointing as my impression of the marketing... esp since a clear picture of the LABELED colors IS available on the box, if only marketing had printed that part of the box!
HERE ARE THE COLORS INCLUDED IN ATELIER: Marseilles Yellow, Agate Orange, Lapis Blue, Ruby Red, Amethyst Purple, Turquoise, Peridot Green, Mummy Brown, Greengold, Dune Yellow. Come on, Marketing! FELLOW SHOPPERS: If you Search the Web for "pebeo porcelaine 150 paints color chart," you can find a site that shows samples of almost all Pebeo 150 colors, where shoppers can locate the 10 colors I just listed. (Amazon rules don't allow a reviewer to post an external link.)
Overall I am very pleased with the product.

I just used this product for the fist time and am very happy with the results. I used it on a plain white ceramic tile to make a customized gift for a friend. I also do stained glass, and my original use for this paint was to add details to projects, which works perfectly.

I highly recommend these to anyone who wants the control of a marker with the beautiful color range Uchida offers in the Artwin line. The color lays down beautifully on all kinds of media.

Discount Luminaire Paint Colormate 7 Color Flesh Set
I use this set of flesh paints with every reborn I paint. No skin tone is simply a monotone shade of one color of flesh, and this set gives you the ability to add dimension and realism to your reborn's complexion. I also find that you can include this kit with the rest of your collections of Luminaire by adding and mixing to get that perfect shade! The Luminaire Paint Colormate 7 Color Flesh Set is the perfect addition and and extention to creating the perfect reborn baby or for restoring your old vintage dolls. You will be astouned at how far these paints go! The are super concentrated and they use plain water instead of the horrible thinners used with heat set paints. NO HEADACHES OR NEED TO VENTILATE! NO TOXINS!! I LOVE THESE PAINTS! TRY THEM, YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!

I have fallen in love with these paints for all kinds of hard plastic and vinyl dolls! Many people that use these paints use them for reborning a doll, but I use them to restore and repair dolls. I was using regular acrylic craft paint and trying to mix the shades I needed and that drove me crazy. After I put it on, it was chalky and awful, and it came right off. I "pounced" the paint on with a sponge, in thin layers,and I was so surprised at how the doll's faces were finally looking like I wanted them to. They now have the beautiful facial colors they were made with 50-60 years ago. The directions are easy to follow and emphasize allowing each layer to fully dry before you add another one, which gave me the best results. The colors are premixed to be in skintones, like makeup, so it is easy to tweak it to get the color you need to paint a doll. They look dewey and soft, not chalky. They're also easy to clean up if you do it while it is wet. Once the paint dries, it is nice and permanent. I am still learning a lot about restoration of vinyl and plastic dolls, and I LOVE to use these paints!Best Deals for Luminaire Paint Colormate 7 Color Flesh Set

Bucilla Baby 45716 Counted Cross Stitch Birth Record Kit, Little Reviews
Great item. Only issue is floss isn't labeled and two of the colors are too close to tell the difference. Other wise this is a great item.
I like the drawing and its kid friendly without being gender specific. But don't be surprised if you only get half the kit. At least i got the instructions right? The three stars are only for the product NOT FOR THE SUPPLIER. If i had gotten the whole kit there would at least be one more star.

unlike one of the previous reviewers, when I got my package in the mail, the plastic bag of the kit had been opened and everything except the fabric and the instructions and a picture had been taken out. I have purchased other bucilla products over amazon, so I know that bucilla kits come with everything that you need sans needle and scissors. So needless to say I paid for a whole kit and was ripped off. Someone probably purchased it made a copy of the directions and resold half the kit for full price. I had to buy my own floss and since bucilla doesn't use dmc numbers you need to get a conversion chart if your local store doesn't provide it. Luckily the floss was only 39 cents each but it's the principle of the matter that stings. If I wasn't time restrained I would have returned it and gotten another one or my money back.I like the drawing and its kid friendly without being gender specific.
