My teacher asked us to purchase brown nylon brushes for our watercolor class. These are working out just fine. I'm a beginner in watercolors so I haven't really had a chance to try them out. But they look fine. They are very long brushes.

This is a nice little introductory kit for anyone interested in starting their own magna style comic book. It is pretty elementary so I do not recomend for anyone with previous drawing experience or training, but as an introduction to drawing magna style comics it is quite nice.

It comes in a compact reusable storage case approximately 8" X 10" that comes with a wood drawing model doll, 3 pitt artist pens, an HB Drawing pencil, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, a magna sketch pad (including tracable practice figures and comic book layout pages), and an instructional booklet with clear step by step instructions on how to draw all aspects of magna comics and how to put together a comic book.

I purchased this product for my daughter and she just absolutely loves it. She is an aspiring artist with a passion for Manga and this kit was just right for her. She really enjoys the fact that she can pose the mannequin that is included with the kit, in many different poses so that she can see her character in 3D before she draws them to capture what she is trying to put on paper. It will be very interesting in the future to see what she creates with practice.

I thought this was a great idea and a nice looking design but the actual product was a disappointment. First off, the stamp was a positive, not a negative as implied by the image here and the sample card on the package. (Flowers and butterflies stamp, background doesn't) Secondly, the embossing is not very detailed and instead just kinda makes blobs around the stamped parts of the image. Not really very attractive and the embossing folder is completely useless without the stamp. Thirdly, the stamp, especially with embossing, is too large to layer on an A2 card. Fourthly, I had a difficult time getting a good impression on the entire stamp. I am an intermediate stamper so that could be user error. Also keep in mind that you will need a very large stamp block for this as it does not fit on a 4 x 6 block.

My favorite stamp and embosser. I used this for several birthday cards. With a light blue or pink color wonderful.

I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting from the folder, but the embossing folder does a very good job in outlining the images. I do wish the folder was a tad bigger to give more room to emboss then trim, but it's the standard size of all their folders. Just stamp straight!

The image inked up just fine and I have old ink pads. The fully embossed image is slightly too big, but I just trimmed it down and you can see how it turned out in the photo I uploaded.

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is becasue for some unknown reason, the packaging shows a negative image when it's a positive image. (see pictures).

I'm looking forward to getting more from this line.

The box arrived in perfect condition. I initially wanted the Gelatos because they appeared to be versatile in their uses, including wet and dry use, smudgable with a finger and produce bright color. They can be used with stamps, used to color over images in art journals, to create beautiful backgrounds for cards or journal pages, add touches of color to mixed media paintings and it's possible to cut a bit of the product off the tip, put in a small spray bottle with water and create color sprays. The set of 28 is a bit pricey, but I'm happy with the results I'm getting in my own art journals and mixed media pieces that I feel they are worth the price for me.

I think any crafter or artist would find good use for these colorful pigment tubes. Their consistency is similar to lipstick or chapstick, they glide on substrates nicely, and they can be layered with other products (especially the Faber Castell big brush markers). The brightness of the color was a real draw for me. They don't feel particularly greasy once on the page, but I do spray workable fixative over them to insure the color stays put when I start layering other media.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Mix & Match Gelatos Gift Set 28/Pkg

As an art journaler, I am always looking for new products to experiment with and keep the fun in "arting". These gelatos are awesome to work with!!! Use them dry on dry, dry on wet, wet on wet, wet on dry, mixed with mediums other than water, etc... you get my drift. They take time to learn how they will react with each different application, but that is all part of the fun. They now sit right next to my Neo Color II's as part of my essential ingredients for a page. I initially started with just a sample pack of 4, and am now so excited to get this larger collection. The gelatos are a MUST for anyone who loves to just play and experiment in their sketchbook/art journal.

I cannot add anything that hasn't been said about the quality of Copic markers. They are wonderful to use. I felt I got a good deal purchasing them on Amazon. My only complaint is that I have purchased two sets and both have damaged plastic cases. Perhaps I will upgrade to the horizontal storage cubes. However, I would rather spend my money on more markers....

I am a scrap-booker and have brought these to make cards with stamps. It is a good starter set with enough blending colors to keep you occupied. I do recommend that you test out each marker on scratch paper first. I had brought a swatch book to go with the markers and excitedly began filling it in. Some of the nibs are saturated with ink that at first touch you get a big blob. I will now have to purchase another swatch book. Great colors though.

My wife loves these. Bought them for a gift for her. She was so excited she was like a little kid on Xmas morning. If you are looking at these you don't really need a product review but you do need to know these are the same items you can buy all over the internet. The price is fare and with Prime the shipping is free and no sales tax. Can't go wrong. Be careful when you are selecting these that they are exactly what you want. There are several different types for different purposes and I almost bought the wrong set.

Discount Cover Buttons - 3/4" (SIZE 30) KIT - WIRE BACKS - QTY 10 SETS

Cover Buttons - 3/4' KIT - WIRE BACKS - QTY 10 SETS
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I was considering having my sofa cushions recovered after the button covers started coming off. Once the cover is off, you sit on a sharp metal ring and it is very uncomfortable. A friend mentioned replacing the buttons using the fabric from one of the pillows for the new button covers.

I didn't know how to select the correct size so I carefully measured the diameter of the button cover. Then I noticed that the button back (the piece secured to the cushion) has it's size printed on the back of it. Good thing I noticed as my measurements were different. After looking on Amazon, I saw this button kit from "I CRAFT FOR LESS" and couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. I ordered and found online instructions on how to use.

I have never worked with buttons before so was not confident of the outcome from my handiwork. It took about 30-minutes to make 10 buttons (very simple) and another 30-minutes to install them on the sofa. They look just like the original buttons!

I really feel like I saved a lot of money by using this simple technique.

These are some very nice pencils and not to any fault any fault of the seller,I think this kit should have some mid tones between the current for shading and blending these are otherwise very nice. The other thing that helps from making this a 5 star is shipping. I would also like to see these types of pencils built in such a way that if the pencil drops to the floor the core doesn't break making it harder to sharpen with fractured pieces to come of in little chunks when sharpening them.

I love this brush carrier/holder! It is great to travel with or just keep your brushes in. It folds flat so it doesn't take up much space in a bag. It can hold a lot of brushes-more than it says, depending on the thickness of the handle. I can fit 2 or 3 brushes in one slot so that's why it can hold a lot of brushes. Also it folds another way. When you open it (like a book)just fold the back down, pull the drawstring cord and hold it in place by the little drawstring closure it stands up on a table or desk. That's the coolest feature! When I took a painting class, I could just stand it up on my desk next to me as I worked at my easel and pull out the brush I needed right there. When the class is finished, I just fold it up and I'm on the go again. I also have another one made to hold larger or longer handled brushes. That one is made by Alvin company. I think this is the best holder/carrier, since it folds flat for travel and stands up on a table. The kind you roll up the brushes are also good, but I think they may take up more space since they can't be flat enough, and they can not stand up.

Thank you.

My daughter and I paint faces (& do other art). These are wonderful for several reasons.I bought 2 of these and loved them so much I bought 3 more...and yes, I have a ton of brushes. I have a lot of money invested in my brushes so protection is very important. I am very picky aout my bristles! These are easy to carry, take up little space and will keep your brushes in order. My brushes are so easy to set up with these holders. You just open them up, fold the top back and it becomes a brush easel. I don't have to remove the brushes to put them in a different container. I love that the brushes are all standing tall and easy to see what I want to select and use. They are easy to wipe off. They are sturdy and well padded. I have not found another product to compare for travel, protection and ease of use!

When my roll-up makeup brush case started to fall apart, I spent a long time searching for a new one. I was never happy with the roll-up design--it was awfully awkward to get brushes out when you need them. The cup and carousal designs required that you leave them out, and I like to be able to tuck them neatly away. I don't recall how I got the idea to use a something made for paintbrushes, but it's been AWESOME.

As the other reviewer mentions, it doubles as a stand in addition to a storage case. As a stand, it has cut down my makeup time, not to mention making it much more pleasant. As a case, it folds up slim and tidy for home storage and travel.

Truly fantastic product. Highly recommended.

this case holds all of my artists brushes, I like how it can prop up when I'm painting, and folds up when in transit. Now I need pants with a pocket large enough, & this could look like a huge wallet. And then people would think, hey that person has a lot of money.

First of all, I got this at my local craft store for half the price. Second of all, I guess the quality of this set depends on what you want. It comes with ONE scratchbord which already has the image printed on it, so you essentially use the craft tool to trace it and.... that's it. It says that there is a practice board but it's actually a 1X2 inch piece of board identical to the only other one that comes in the kit pretty lame. If all you're looking for is to trace someone else's art work the finished product does look nice, and it is good quality scratchbord, otherwise buy something else.

I am still new to painting, but Windsor Newton paint is an above average quality paint. The colors are opaque, bright and creamy. They mix and blend well. The color selection is good for the beginner. The colors are traditional and will help the beginner build a good understanding of mixing. The colors are not appropriate for portraits, but I painted a mixture of abstract, landscape and still lifes with the paint. I bought other brushes, and I don't recall the included brushes. I was not taught to use liquin, and I had enough ideas that I was not into experimenting with it at the time.

The tubes are large enough that you feel free to use the paint. I paint rather thick--sort of a mild impasto style. I now paint with 200 ml tubes. However, I still have some remnants of these tubes left. I must not use that much Burnt Sienna or Raw Umber. The set's titanium white was larger (I guess about 40 ml) than the other tubes which is very useful.

I suggest a canvas pad, such as Fredrix 3500 Canvas Pads, 9 by 12-Inch and a few brushes if you are buying this as a gift. You can pick up some paint thinner at the hardware store or buy some odorless thinner at a local art store.
