Definitely the best little travel item I've found in awhile! I carry this water filled brush with a 4x6 sketchbook and a couple of watercolor crayons, and can record impressions of a scene quickly. Best, they all fit into my purse easily. I have two sizes--they're great!Thursday, January 1, 2015
Buy Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small
I bought these with my Derwent Inktense Pencils. The pencils need water to turn permanent into ink. I color with the pencils, and then apply the water. The waterbrush is almost like using a pencil. I can control where I want the water to go. This is very important in keeping the water in one area. You can buy different size waterbrushes if you want a bigger or smaller tip.

hey guys, this product is definitely not a 55 dollar value, and even 20 is pushing it. I should have listened to the chic who mentioned the plastic beads..they are so tacky. My issue is the instruction booklet. I was looking forward to opening it and finding all sorts of interesting projects. Unfortunately this was not the case. The booklet was 80% about the stuff you will need for jewelry making and what they were for. However, a lot of the stuff were not included in this purchase.The instructions are very half way as well. I would say about 10% of this booklet was made up of halfway instructions for projects and the other 10% were the halfway instructions in other languages.I was very disappointed in this product its not what its seems like from looking at the box.

The beads were plastic, which I didn't see written anywhere in the description, so they aren't very attractive. I'll have to go buy glass beads to make anything and they really aren't that expensive. It would be a good kit if they had included less glass beads rather than more plastic ones. The rest of the kit is good, and I like the tool but, honestly, those plastic beads are AWFUL !Best Deals for Darice 1985-42 Boxed Jewelry-Making Starter Kit
It may have been a good product if it had came with all the items it was supposed to. When I called to have a new set mailed to me they refused, they would only accept it as a return and refund. They could not even tell me if they had any others in stock and would not even look for me.Honest reviews on Darice 1985-42 Boxed Jewelry-Making Starter Kit
This kit is okay for getting familiar with lots of different findings. There wasn't much for tools, but the three in one is helpful. The beads are pretty cheesy. The bead-board is flimsy. I guess I like the whole kit just well enough to go ahead and keep it. Did I get what I paid for? No, I think this kit should have gone for about $12. I paid twice that.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Darice 1985-42 Boxed Jewelry-Making Starter Kit
My daughter received this kit as a 10th birthday gift. While the contents may not be as exciting or professional for an adult jewelry maker, we found it to be *excellent* for my daughter to start dappling with ideas. In just the first day, she was able to make 3 pairs of *beautiful* earrings (that even I would wear), and a nice bracelet for a friend. All of the kits we've found for children nowadays are fairly cheesy and cheap. This kit has given her a great confidence and starting point. And the quality of the finished product is very decent, even by adult standards.Best Royal White Taklon Fan 4 Piece Value Pack Brush Set - Rset-9166 Deals

My hobby is oil painting but my hand isn't as steady as it used to be. I paint wet on wet. The brush isn't as thick as I need.

I wasn't expecting much from a $7 dry erase board but my 2 year old loves it and that's enough for me. It is by far her favorite drawing item at home or traveling. It comes with 5 markers in their own little pocket which actually keeps the markers very secure, almost so much so that she has trouble getting them out. The little rag it comes with to wipe it clean does a good job but like all dry erase boards a little moisture goes a long way, it does wipe completely clean though, no staining or residue and dries quickly (I give my daughter a baby wipe and she cleans it as she wishes). The markers are also completely washable when used to draw on oneself, clothing or furniture! I did not use the decals that come with the board so I can't say whether they actually stick or not, but either way this is a cute toy at a reasonable price that offers hours of entertainment.Best Deals for Crayola Dry-Erase Fold and Go Travel Pack
My daughters love the pink carrying case. The dry erase board works okay but the stick-ons do not stay on and are a bit of a waste.They have enjoyed this on car trips.
Honest reviews on Crayola Dry-Erase Fold and Go Travel Pack
I purchased this to help keep my daughter entertained during a 3 hour plane ride. The markers were constantly slipping from its pocket and falling between the seats and floor of plane. This however, is not the main reason for my poor rating. My daughter loves to doodle so I was expecting her to enjoy this packet but the board does not erase well. After 7 minutes of drawing she grew very upset by the fact that the board was, "still so dirty."Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Crayola Dry-Erase Fold and Go Travel Pack
I bought this crayola dry erase set to keep my 4 year old daughter busy , when I'm taking her on a long car ride to visit grandma house. It keeps her quite entertain and happy. It do fold ups easily and very light weight to carry around. The markers are washerable so you don't have to worry about your kids clothes getting dirty. The cloth that comes with the set does erase very well with a little pressure apply. I recommend this for all little kids who love to draw and moms who want something convenience.Cheap Set of 9 Flower Garden Medium Iron On Rhinestud Crystal T-shirt

I just recently bought this to "paint" a lot of glass bottles that I got at the local thrift store since I'm a collector of colored glass bottles. I prefer collecting real colored glass, i.e., cobalt glass, or red glass (which are my favorites) or yellow and even green glass. However, those items are either not being manufactured any more or are way too expensive. Since most of "colored" glass that is now being produced is actually "painted" or coated with a type of glass paint, I thought I'd try making my own since the ones I've bought in the past have had the "Paint" flake off, which annoyed me greatly since they seem to be charging as much for them as what I used to pay for REAL colored glass.
Anyhow, the product is as advertised. It is transparent and it does look like what you buy at the local stores. Cleanup is easy with soap and water. You can either use the nozzle on the bottle or a brush, but if you use a brush you need to use a soft watercolor-type brush to avoid a streaked look. (But don't use real expensive watercolor brushes!) The paint seems to go on easier if you use a brush, although you do get that gloppy, gloupy drippy look. So that's the positive aspects of this product.
The negative side: I did not like the fact that the product has a "nozzle" (sort of like what superglue has) instead of a "mini brush" on the end. I found that using the nozzle to paint on round bottles was a bit difficult. The paint tends to run and drip. I tried using it with a brush, and so long as you continue to paint the object without going back over where you have already painted, it's fine. I unfortunately discovered that if you go back over an area already painted before it dried completely, the previous area lifts up and so the object does not have a smooth glass-like finish, but has "lumps" and "bumps" which is clearly noticeable. If you're going for an "imitation" colored glass look, like I was, this is not a good thing.
Also, there was no instructions with this sample kit as to how long I should wait between coats, or whether I needed to heat treat it in an oven to "set" the color. There is another manufacturer (with much more expensive paint) which requires you to heat treat it and then it's microwave and dishwasher safe. For my purposes, since these bottles will probably never be washed or microwaved, I didn't care and this was really only an experiment to see if painting bottles with this product would allow me to "imitate" the look of real colored glass.
I also intend to experiment with using this glass stain to "paint" a scene on glass, so stay tuned to this "station" for further updates about this product as I experiment some more. :)

Maybe I was not using it the way it was intended, but I found it too runny to work with the way I wanted. The colors are beautiful and bright, and the bottles are easy to use. If the item were leaded and flat they would be perfect. Not what I was using them for.Best Deals for DecoArt DASK270 Glass Stains Sample Pack

I purchased this product to do a computer case mod on a clear acrylic case. It adheres fine to the material and the color is bright, clear, and a nice accent to the clear fans as I variegated red, yellow, and orange on the blades. The kit comes with yellow too, a plus since yellow isn't in the picture, so I didn't expect to get it. Light shows through it very nicely. It's like a cathedral glass effect. It adheres to transparency material as well, and I'm painting manga art for the sides of the computer.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DecoArt DASK270 Glass Stains Sample Pack
