Does anyone know how this compares to Amaco art emboss light weight for thickness? I am looking to make permanant plant markers.

This is very good product I think this is perfect for plant makers and it is similar to Amaco brand.

It does work, however you will need to mix it with a clear embossing powder. It sounds like a pain, but it really isn't. You can get a large bottle of ultra thick clear powder and mix it with these pigment powders and have beautiful results. I have done it myself. I bought this set mistaking them for embossing powders. So with some experimenting, I found you can create beautiful embossing in these great colors. I purchased a set of clear screw top containers to store the mixed powders. I use tiny spoons to scoop the powders and stir. I am still experimenting, but I mix about 2 scoops of clear powder to 1 scoop of the pigment powder, stamp my image, sprinkle my mixture, add some heat and make terrific looking images. These pigments are extremely fine and powdery, so make sure the paper you stamp is static free by using a dryer sheet or one of those special stamping bags to wipe your paper before stamping. If you have used the right mix, you will not have any left over residue and will be able to dump the extra powder back in the container.

I have got this brand for my friend who is a wood crafter. She swears by the brand and not only is it good value but also covers well too. There is also a great range of different colours. She runs a small wood crafting business and her customers comment on the colours she uses. I hope this helps.

Only the one listed as 3mm is that thin. I like thin. All the others a much thicker. I do have a thick one and it's pretty good too. Not as good grip as the ecolite. My wife has one of the premier mats and it's thick, heavy, and not bad grip. All Manduka mats are rubber and very heavy to carry. But, they don't ripple up during practice. I think the eko lite mat was meant for hot yoga, which I don't do. I just like it for the grip and closeness to the floor.

I get the frustration of putting time and effort on something only to have it be ruined.When I bought the pigma microns I thought they would work with alcohol markers like copics but they would bleed no matter how long I let them dry and ruin my drawings. Pigma microns weren't made for alcohol based markers at all,while the multiliners were specifically made for copic markers which are alcohol based. If you want a set of pens that wont bleed like pigma microns then get these. they work fine with copics or other alcohol markers.

These actually work best on the Widescreen Light Designer in comparison to paper. It's not chalky or creamy enough to show up on black paper and it writes like regular Crayola markers on white paper.

Hi, I just looked up the Eclips machine and from what I can tell these embossing folders likely won't work with it. It looks like the Eclips is a shape cutting machine, not an embossing machine. I hope that answers your question.Thank you and good luck!

The Stardust series is more transparent; the Metallic series has a good solid color. I've tried using both for coloring Zenspirations patterns and the Metallic ones cover up black lines. The Stardust ones add glitter and a touch of color. Neither is ideal for coloring large spaces. Like any other pen, in large areas you'll be able to see some lines in your coloring. I've never had any trouble with the ink flow on mine. They write a lot better than the ones I bought 20 years ago for rubber stamp art.

Try The Army Painter primers. It's a solvent based acrylic. It's more expensive, but you get 400ml per can, so the cost per oz. can be cheaper than this

This Sharpie is not your 'typical' Sharpie; I use this "Stylo" version of Sharpie for doodling/pen and ink drawings. It is very smooth, no bleeding, no feathery line, and no 'dragging' at all. It doesn't have the harsher quality of typical permanent Sharpies, which are great for labeling, etc, but awful for my doodling/drawing hobby. To me, this Stylo Sharpie, at 0.5, feels similar or even thinner than the 0.2 ultra-fine regular Sharpie -- I suppose because of how differently they're made.

Hello, Brian! What an interesting project! I'd love to hear how it comes out. What I know about moss would fit on the head of a pin, and your project is certainly very different from mine. If you've already chosen a supplier, I'd suggest you get in touch with him/her and ask for advice. I didn't contact the Amazon vendor before ordering because I was following instructions I'd gotten elsewhere. However, I wanted to add a special kind of moss, and I found it on Etsy. The vendor there was very helpful. Her name is Teresa Kessler and her Etsy shop is teresab123. She's presently on vacation, but you could try her. Good luck! Joyce

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

Is the handle turning? If so is the item your embossing thick enough? Sometimes I've added thick paper under my plate to raise it do I can emboss paper. If it's metal your embossing is it too thick? The vintaj thickness works great, and should feel a slight pressure while turning the handle. Hope this helps. Stick with it the machine does work great :)

I use NeoChalk Liquid Chalk Marker Chisel Tip - White. Works well so far. Good luck.

I use my Dymo LetraTag for creating bacle or cord labels. They are fantastic for this purpose. Clear printing, no smearing, easy to read, sticks well.

ArtBin makes the case but it may have been made originally for Spellbinder dies. I have the case and use it for all my magnetic dies. Go with the cheapest price, it is the same thing as far as I can tell.

Is this embosser able to emboss thicker materials such as leather? Also, does the embosser come with letters and numbers to make custom imprints
