Hey everyone! ***Please do not buy the Eye Shadow Pans! They may not be rust resistant, causing rust to get in your paints! A dear friend let me know the pans from Art Tool kit are stainless steel, to prevent rust. I had never thought of that happening, I'm sorry! 💗
@ArtWithKatt You may be able to seal it, I'm not sure. I've received tips about putting clear nail polish on metal tabs in palettes that made a few of my paints get rust. But, I won't chance it with the eye shadow pans myself. It's not worth throwing paint out to me.
I think, in that Schminke ceramic insert palette, that I would use the 6 additional wells to pour paint in there from other Schminke tubes and add to the collection. That would be really fun! Great haul and Happy New Year! That's such a cute easel from Meeden!
Aw, thank you!!! I think many in the art community don't like me, because I mostly share haul videos. My other videos don't do very well, so they seem like a waste of my time. I really appreciate your comment, and it makes me want to keep sharing. 💗
What an awesome haul! Definitely want to know how that easel holds up for you and looking forward to seeing everything in action. Have been dying to get the Shinhan B set as a gift for a loved one. I'm on such a tight budget though and I also have to get them the rest of the supplies to go with. I would really appreciate it if you could share more specifics on what discounted price you managed to get. I checked camelcamelcamel but they say all of the shinhan sets are at an all time low price right now, set A is $65 and B is $72, which is not on sale. Does that sound like the same price? I can wait if the price will drop significantly in the future. I appreciate your time. Also, I have decided to get the Nicpro stay wet palette with it. Hoping that's going to work for her. I really think she'll like working with them from everything other artists have said. It's absolutely fine and completely understandable that you want to try all of the colors. The fact that you get so much joy from getting the new colors and trying them is valid reason enough, period (as long as you can afford to within reason). But on top of it, you actually use them and not only get joy from creating with them, the sound of your voice made it very obvious that you also get a lot of joy and inspiration out of having lots of curated palettes... which, of course, you need a lot of different paints for. And then on top of it all, you make gifts of them for others. Enjoy and don't feel bad about a thing! 😊 Very cool of Meeden to gift so freely, you deserve it. I'm legitimately considering that that easel for next Christmas (again for my Mom). Hope you have a ton of fun! New Year, New medium!☺️
Thank you so much! It is so much fun to try new things. I purchased the sets during Black Friday, so the price was much lower on Amazon. I used to not have any money to shop with, so I understand completely. Maybe just try to use a wish list, and keep saving. I usually keep my wish list in my cart, saved for later. Then check occasionally for a great price decrease, and check multiple websites. Prices are always changing. Many times you can find better prices in the country items are from. $65 and $72 is the price now, but in a few months it may go up, or go down...you just never know. If I was on a fixed income, I would just get the primary colors and mix to make all the pretty colors. Everything thing else is really just for fun, and not necessary. Thank you for understanding and leaving such a kind comment. Yes, they all bring me immense joy, and I hope to help more people find what will bring them joy. I really appreciate your comment, and it makes it so fun to share with people who understand my excitement. Thank you!!! Happy New Year to you, and your mom! 💗
Wow Stephanie, what a wonderful selection of gifts from Meeden! Meeden chose the perfect recipient to receive that Motherlode of gifts, you will definitely put their products to the test and use them. That's a bummer about some of the damaged colored cotton rag sheets. Schmincke should make you their PR POC because of how much of their products you've bought and use. Congrats on all of your lovely haul items and Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what beautiful artwork you create in 2025!!! 🎨
Thanks so much, Cheryl! Aw, thank you I really appreciate it. I really love the new easel, it is so beautiful. Yes, but maybe I saved a few people from buying it, lol. Schmincke may not like that I share great sales to purchase, but that is just me. It would be a dream come to true to work with any professional company. Thank you so much, I can't wait to try them all! Happy new year!!! 💗💗
You have handmade paper with a foot print on it???!!! Opps, I can’t help but laugh! 😂🤣 I thought it was just me who thought Jackson’s is not as good for finding deals anymore. I had a look at their website for Black Friday sales and nothing stood out to me. It was good before the US-UK division split. Schmincke has one palette that interests me, the 18 half pan super granulating palette. I saw it online on a UK based art supply store that doesn’t do overseas shipping. It’s £95 (no idea in US dollars). I’m not sure if it’s a good deal but I refuse to pay anything like that price. Due to me already having plenty of art supplies (well plenty for me) I would rather not have it at all unless the price is reduced some more and I can get it shipped to the US or buy in the US. Also, I get a kick out of finding good deals! 😅
Thank you, Sue! I have to stretch my splurge fund, lol. I think prices vary per country. You can make them, or maybe another company makes them too. Lightwish has some, but they are hot press. Happy new year!!! 💗
Omg this idea with the eye shadow pans and the magnetic eyeshadow palette is sooo stunning 😅 Oh... i now read what you wrote about the rust problem... but there exist magnetic pans for watercolour too! I hope they are not too expensive! And then you are able to put them in a magnetic eye shadow palette! 😅 My ,,problem" is, I got the 84 holbein gouache set for christmas- but I couldnt find a palette that is big enough to hold 84 paints! Do you have a tip for me?
Love the wee eyeshadow pans. I found some that are 26mm square by 5mm. These are almost the same size as the Art Tool Kit medium pans (26mm square by 3mm). I measured the actual pans and the folio. The folio is 5.2mm in height so the eyeshadow pans should fit. If not, I have another metal pan which will hold 32 medium pans (and leave room for a couple small brushes).
Thank you! Just please be careful. I just had a dear friend let me know if the pans are not rust resistant, they can make your paints get rust on them. The pans from Art Tool kit are made from stainless steel to prevent that from happening. I'm so glad she let me know, so I could leave a note to try to let everyone know! I had no idea that could happen, and I don't want your paints to go bad. That also explains why I had some pans from White nights and Roman Szmal get rust on them. Apparently lower quality metals can do that, sadly. 💗

Can you use a rust repellent primer? And just prime the palettes?

youre a true ball of joy its a shame the rest of the art community has not yet woken up to you

A great deal on the first Schmincke palette. That da Vinci brush is wonderful!
Thank you!! Yes, I was so excited to find it and I love the travel brush. 💗

Those papers are corgeous! I would not care of some mishaps, they can be inspirational! Actual foot prints! The colours are very eastern, so rich
Forgot to say Happy New Year!

Thank you!!! It really is beautiful, I love it! Thank you! 💗
Happy new year Stephanie!
