I bought this set to use the chalks on thick watercolour paper in my mixed media projects. They are great for the price and very versatile. The flat shape makes them perfect for scribbles and fine mark lines. The container box is really lovely and keeps them all tidy so I can put them anywhere without fear of them being damaged.
bought this set of Microns not only to have good-quality permanent archival liners, but also because I wanted markers with bigger nibs than the usual. These markers go from size 1 to 12 (no fine or micro point nibs) so they're perfect for my mixed media projects as liners, fillers and mark making tools. They are precise and don't smudge. See my swatch photo to get an idea of the nib thickness. I love these markers design, which is immediately recognisable and also perfect to read the text on them; the size number is clearly visible both on the cap top and on the pen body, something that I love as I can easily find the size I want no matter the markers are stored vertically or horizontally. I bought this for a good price, so this is a bonus.
Good quality, sharp blades and excellent price. This trimmer is a bit larger and bigger than I wanted it to be, but it's good overall. See my photos beside my kitchen scissors and my small craft scissors.
I'm utterly disappointed with this set, especially because the straps seem to be good quality, they're nicely packaged and the price is good. As sizing was not mentioned anywhere, I took for granted that these straps were standard strap width. However, that's not the case (see my photo). They're perfect for small girl bras or for bras holding an A cup, which usually have skinny straps, not average adult bras. I have different bra brands and sizes and these extenders don't fit any of them. As I unwillingly broke the packaging box, I cannot return the items. So, the value for money is none.
This is a good quality compass. it comes with a small lead pencil that has a pressure screw to adjust it. The pencil can be easily adjusted up and down and, other pencils can be inserted instead. I've tried others I have, and they fit without problem as long as they're a similar short height; otherwise, It's difficult to use. The storage case if very good.
However, the compass is very small, even for my very small hands, and I find it difficult to use naturally; like I struggle to use it. I guess it will be OK for children's hands, but not for mine for sure.
I regret not having paid for something more expensive and getting something that I can easily use and move around.
I
have this as a warm-up exercise pad to do mixed-media projects. I use a
lot of liquid supplies: flow acrylic, inks, water drops, etc. and I've
also pre-gessoed the pages before use. The paper is thick enough to
withstand most of the media without bleeding and holding the painting
pigments quite well. The paper texture is smooth and the colour white.
For the price, this is an excellent watercolour and mixed-media paper
pad.
My main disappointment is with the binding system. It 's
supposed to open and close easily so that one can extract the page,
paint on it and then put it back. I haven't been able to open the rings
no matter how hard I've tried. Leaving the pages in the pad makes them
prone to medium and paint transfer on the edges, even if I use some
baking paper behind the sheet I'm using.
For the rest, very pretty cover, very good paper and very handy size to store away and do small projects. I'll buy again
These tablets have a great flavour and are more chewies than tablets. I've used them to help me with minor signs of indigestion and light heartburn, after heavy meals and they work well for me. If I have a real indigestion or stomach upset I get something else because they aren't strong enough. I've used these tablets for travelling, and they are easy to pack as I can put it in any small handbag or pencil case or small corner in a suitcase.
