Woohoo! a new toy! I recommend going through the website that I ordered them from...I ordered on Saturday and got them today. That's pretty good with Monday being a holiday. This site also has these, plus other items on sale! The site is:
OK I have been looking at these since your first post and I have yet to figure out what colors to get! I want something that is going to shimmer do these do that???
OMG! These colors are so beautiful! I just tried every color on a piece of scrap paper. If you love to watercolor I highly recommend them! They have a shimmer to them...almost metallic, but subtle! I got the 24 pack of the small jars. I can't remember the item # off hand, but some of the colors are black cherry, sunflower, orange peel, etc. This set has every color I would want...but there isn't a silver color and I'm not sure if they even make a silver color? Anyway...I would recommend this as a good starter set. It's only $30.50 for the 24 color set...that's like $8 cheaper than the other sites!
Can you tell I'm excited and hyped up about these????
Must get back to playing...just had to report how beautiful they are
Dawn...go to the link I put in my first post and then click on twinkling h2o's. It will show what they are...basicly they are a type of watercolor with mica in them to give them shimmer.
I have them and I love them!!! You use them with a paintbrush and water. Just get your brush wet and dip it in the color you want. Very easy. They create a shimmer to your paper. I love the color selection!! I use mine all the time.
Well I'm glad I could add to your addiction! I love to color....especially watercoloring!
Dawn...these are watercolor with a shimmer. You use them just as you would a box of watercolor paints. They are a solid and when you apply water to them they work like watercolors.
Yes! That really helped alot your describing them. I feel like I'm always way behind on the trends. I'm just now starting to use eyelets and other new techniques.
Sorry, this could be a dumb question but....
are these similar to the Pearl Ex powders? How are they different... is it that they come in a solid form?
I went to that website and they look somewhat similar to little jars of PearlEx I see at Michaels etc.
Thanks!
I love the look of the H20s and would love to order some. I was thinking of ordering the 5 oz pots so that I could get all of the colors as they are a littler less expensive. However, I am not sure how long 5 ounces would last. Perhaps I should order the 10 ounce size though I would not be able to get all of the colors right away. What do you suggest?
