Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

Various Color (Earth Tone colors) Jewelry Beads

I needed something to go along with other items around the house in order to make some quick jewelry for my daughter and myself. I had the wiring, the end pieces, and other beads, but they were just solid colors from my daughter’s pink camo collection. I wanted something that was more adult, and I went looking.

I like these beads, not just because of their name, but because of what they resemble to me: Earth. Even our teenage son, whose sometimes in his own world, quickly glanced over and said that they looked like the planet Earth. They came in a strand of 100, looped like a necklace. They are 8 mm in size, with a 1 mm opening, which means that you can only fit wiring through the opening. They look better when they are set end to end, which resembles the Earth if split from North to South. My daughter made a bracelet with this, and I think it turned out great.

These are great beads for craft involving wire work, so I assume the possibilities can be endless, even with earrings. Good purchase and now looking for the next thing to make with them!

Add some color to your yard!

4 Color Stainless Steel Solar Lights

If I said it once, I have said it numerous times – I love solar lights! The ones I had before these are black tubing with an iridescent glow to them. I wanted something that was colorful and would stand out from the others that are on my block. 

What I like about these is they are multi-colored, (red, blue, green, and yellow). The yellow ones look more of a clear, having no color, unless you look really hard. The tubing for these is delicate. I received one that was somewhat bent on one of the ends. Very easy to fix, but not very sturdy. My dog has managed to knock a couple down, and one time on of the lights actually fell off. Not really a big issue, though. All I did was stick whichever one he knocked over back onto the stake, and/or attach the light fixture back on the tubing.  

The lighting, once it gets dark, doesn’t really illuminate quite as brightly as my other ones, but these are more of a decorative light, which is fine to me, because it does just what I need it to do – add color to my yard. I have had my sprinkler on, obviously, because I have to water, and it doesn’t affect their performance and water doesn’t get into the fixture.

All I all, these are a good decorative solar lights! Oh, and don’t forget, like I almost did – to turn each one on first!

Watercolor Pencils that can be used wet/dry

Watercolor Pencils 48-Colors - Aquarelle - Water-Soluble

Being a collector of art pencils/pens/markers, I saw these as something different. I have yet to have watercolor pencils before and was anxious to see what it was all about. First off, I liked all the colors that came in the pack – 48 colors which means 48 different things to color! The color “lead” so to speak, is very gentle, so the slightest push, for instance, if you want to color heavy with one color, it may break easily.

I had the happen with a couple of colors; but I guess that is why they give you a free compact pencil sharpener located underneath the bottom flap.

One small issue I believe I found was the fact that they came in a package similar to that of a crayon box. Anyone that has used crayons knows that it can be a downright pain to get them out when they are packed in a single row. I may purchase a clear tote at the store to transfer them into for easy handling. Other than that, these work out great.

They can be used as a regular pencil or can be used with water added to the color afterwards. I didn’t have a paintbrush, so I used a cotton swab, and it gave it a nice blended effect.

Arteza Gel Pens = vibrant, carefree colors!!

Arteza Gel Pens*

I am glad I ordered these!  I was so tired of writing things down, whether it be for my checkbook, my kids' papers, forms I had to fill out, or writing things down in my notebook, with your average, ordinary, black or blue pens. 

I hated the fact that the cheap ones sometimes would blot on certain letters.  Being left-handed, that can cause smearing and ruining whatever you were writing on - not to mention a colorful side of your left hand!  

With these, there is a variety of colors to choose from, that you will feel like if you pick one and it's your favorite, that the other pens will actually feel neglected!  Luckily, I have 2 teenagers, who love to use them for whenever they get in the creative mood!  

With summertime here, that creative time won't be boring anymore when it comes to these pens!  I just hope I can find more paper around the house, cause I am curious to see what all of them will look like on paper!

 
We all happen to enjoy the vibrant colors as well - it is more than just rainbow colors, it's almost every color you can think of at the top of your head, and some you never realized existed!  

The carrying case makes it easy to store on an art shelf, bookcase, or display them in your workspace, desk, or home office!
