Gab about Watercolors

Supplies, Tools, Reviews, Drawing, Cards, Crafts, Unboxing, Shopping, Diy, Coloring, ColorGabriela SimsComment

I love watercolors and I use them in various states, pencils, crayons, markers, and traditional cakes.  I have 2 travel sets, one is Cotman and the other is Koi.  They are both wonderful, but my only complaint is that you get 6-12 colors and you have to "make" the rest yourself.  This is common, but time consuming...and then I found the Kuretake GansaibTambib sets! They are everything!! I chose the largest set, 36 colors, and I could not be more satisfied. The colors are vibrant and smooth plus the box they come in is beautiful.

Then when you open them there is a color chart on the interior of the lid. 

 

A handy surprise.

It took a few minutes to get all of the colors done, but the chart makes me even happier because of how the colors look, and this is on ordinary paper! 

 

Completed chart!

The set includes 33 "traditional" colors including white, and 3 metallic colors.  Each cake has the corresponding chart number on the bottom, so that if you ever mix them up, you can reorganize them with ease. I have to say I am very impressed with the set and cannot wait to make some cards with these, happy crafting!

Hey everyone, check out my review of the November Beanie Bag from Jimmy Beans Wool, it was another great bag with some really neat stuff!

As you can see, they mix it up, even with the project bag, so I'm definitely going to keep getting these every month.  Happy crafting!

So I spied an Office Max going out of business and I had to stop in just to see if there was anything worth picking up...and I found some awesome stuff.  If you've got the time, check out this craft haul video!

I also want to take the time to mention that this store is merging with another nearby store and people are expected to keep their jobs! :) Next post will feature some cards I made with my digistamps and then a look at the October Paper Pumpkin Box. Happy crafting!

Hello everyone, I just did a video review of the Jimmy Beans Wool Beanie Bag subscription, I think it's a really cool subscription for $10 per month.  If you've got 5 minutes, you can see what was inside of the October bag.  

Happy Crafting!
