Feelily 18 piece sketching and drawing set with Canvas wrap review

 Feelily 28 piece sketching and drawing set with Canvas wrap

(It has 18 sketching pencils but there's so much more equaling to 28 pieces).

As a bit of an art and stationary collector; I'm super excited to bringing you another product from Feelily.

 Feelily Super large capacity pencil/cosmetic case

You may remember I reviewed one of their large capacity pencil cases a few weeks ago.

 I was then kindly offered this beautiful artist pencil roll with sketching kit to share with you all!

So anyone who loves their art, in particular sketching and drawing with pencils and charcoals stay reading I think you may like this review.

Ive also added a full video review too again for those that want to listen to my review as well as read it.

Packaging

I was actually really impressed with how everything safely arrived undamaged, packaged separately for you to unwrap and also with just how many items you get with your kit. It came in a simple transparent plastic wrapping and sellotape so literally nothing special.

But honestly once you start unwrapping everything you'll forget it had no box.

Description

Once unwrapped you realize just what you have in this amazing kit.

Here is the art kit as it comes all wrapped in each individual packaging.

I have to say when I first got these boxes out I initially thought I had 12 B's and 12 4B's but it wasn't the case, I was quite confused at this....however inside both boxes contained the set below.

Unwrapped and here is what you have...for a better look checkout my video as I go through everything here in more detail.

 Okay so here is the full set of sketching pencils all Marco Raffine.

You get 18 pencils ranging from HB to 8B all sharpened ready to go.

With 3 charcoal pencils (soft, medium and hard unsharpened).

2 x 2H

1 x HB

1 x 8B

1 x 7B

1 x 6B

1 x 5B

4 x 4B

1 x 3B

4 x 2B 

1 x B

Charcoal pencils hard, medium and soft all 3 unsharpened.

Note; my only niggle and its just being picky is that the pencils are very light and you cant see the lead at the end; meaning it may not be fully leaded inside; but of this I am not certain.

Next are 3 Tortillions pencil blenders made of compressed paper, this I cant wait to try as Ive been meaning to get some of these for my colouring.

All 3 different sized blenders have double ended tips.

 Here you have a box cutter type blade; Feelily have called this a pencil sharpener for those of you that prefer sharpening your pencils this way especially the charcoal ones, I know there are alot of you. For me I definitely prefer a pencil sharpener.

The blade has a clip that you can use to clip to your pocket it also can be removed from the sharpener then you use it to snap the blade off when it becomes dull.

 You also get 2 erasers, 1 Plasticine moldable  type for dabbing any mistakes with no bits. Plus a normal hard eraser.

 To top it all the hard eraser is a "Faber Castell" eraser, so pleased with this am I.

You then get one double ended pencil extender, the image above shows the double one ontop and my Prismacolour one I got in my pencil accessory kit underneath.

I just wanted to show you the difference in size and the fact you have the options of different pencil widths of either end. 

More detail in my video.

Finally the wrap itself which feels like a fine canvas material with lovely brown PVC edging; giving a gorgeous charm to the roll. It also has a PVC leather look strap that will secure your roll once its rolled up.

One side is slightly unfinished; however its exactly where the strap ties around it so it doesn't show.

It measures unrolled exactly 19 inches long and 8 inches wide with a 18 inch long and 1 inch wide strap to wrap it with.

 On the back you can see how nice the fine black canvas looks.

All fitted inside
It doesn't take long to slide everything into your new roll, infact its surprisingly satisfying...am I normal...dont answer that lol!
 It feels really good to get everything set up.

 I love the brown PVC leather lip to protect all the sharpened pencil tips it goes over your pencils approx 1.4 inches giving plenty of pencil protection. Its also divided up into 3 sections so they fit snugly underneath rather than left completely open...if your not sure what I mean I show you in the video.

I just want to point out that you not only receive 28 art pieces; but you also have plenty of room to spare, you can get "41 items" in this, the slimmer gaps will fit paintbrushes or slimmer pencils for example either side of the popper on the left and through underneath the leather sewn on part on the right.

It will hold all you favorite arty bits and securely too as the elastics are tight.

 Okay so finally its wrapped up; it looks super cool and it has an olde worlde charm to it.

Here is the pencil tip end; showing you just how protected the sharpened pencil tips are, the PVC leather offers complete protection of your art pieces.

Here is my video of the unboxing and a complete indepth look at each of the arty bits in more detail. Plus what it looks like empty and full and rolled up.

Opinion

I absolutely love this sketching kit I've been doing art for over 30 years, but never had such a lovely set like this; with everything in this roll; I still have 13 places to add my own arty bits and pieces, its just gorgeous.

If your an art student who loves sketching, this set will make you one happy-bunny, go treat yourself right now. Its perfect to pop in your bag, glove-box and take with you anywhere.
All your art supplies will be easily organized and you can see what you want at a glance.
Plus its sooo affordable you simply cannot go wrong, if your an artist you will be sure to use everything in this set, even if you add your own favorites bits and pieces and use these for extras and spares; its just perfect!

If your not sure whether you like sketching, this set is so affordable to simply give it a go, also ideal for the young or budding artist; plus us hardened stationary addicts.
So guys thank for popping by let me know what you think and I for one am looking forward to doodling with you all very soon.

Colourful Steel wire Cable Keyrings Review

 Steel Wire Cable Keyrings

This week I kindly received a small parcel in the post and inside were these  colourful cable keyrings.

However there was nothing in or on the packet to say who sent them.

So if you sent them to me, please send me a quick mail ASAP and I can link them to you.

 Packaging
 The keyrings arrived in this white ziplock bag; handy to keep them in.

Description
These stainless steel twisted wire cable keyrings arrived in a pack of 7; an unusual number but its great to have this many as they are so useful for so many things.

I love that you have 7 keyrings covered in 7 plastic colours, perfect for key sets so you know whose is whose keys.

These keyrings have a screw and barrel connection.

 The barrel slides down to screw-tighten to the connectors; these are super strong.

Plus being stainless steel and then also covered in plastic you have flexibility too.

They are exactly 16cm long and have a 1.6mm diameter; larger than most keyrings, but very thin and light to use.

These are perfect for not just keyrings but for luggage tags and hanging any tools, like torches, spanners pliers etc; plus they can really hold some weight! 

My other half has his eye on these already.   

Bagsy the purple one...you heard it here first lol!

Opinion

There isn't much I can say about these other than they are extremely well made for the price. I was expecting them not to connect easily or get cross threaded and jammed; Ive had none of these, they all work smoothly and easily.

Although they are quite stiff at first so you have to hold them firmly to connect them as they an ping off; but once they are bent a bit its fine. I also dont open and close them often so its not an issue for me, it shows they have some strength in them.

The fine screw thread makes them strong and even thought these are small they really hold some weight if you wanted them too.

They also have a LONG screw thread so they are NOT going to come undone easily as it takes about 30secs to screw them up lol.

The fact you get 7 in a packet gives you loads of options to use them for different things.

Definitely something I would recommend as you never know when you need one or 2 of these; super useful. I also really love the variety of colours too....well its a girl thing isn't it...lol!

So as I explained before I do not know who sent these to me so until then; just type in "Stainless steel cable wire keyrings" and Amazon will find these for you.

All my thanks to whoever kindly sent these to me (please email me ASAP); all my views and opinions are my own. 

My images are mine unless otherwise stated.

Bye for now.

Dimples Excel 2 in 1 Precision Mini Jot Disc fine point and Micro knit fiber tip stylus set Review

 Dimples Excel 2 in 1 Precision Mini Jot Disc fine point and Micro knit fiber tip stylus set x2 

Heya people Ive something for those of you who enjoy using a stylus with their tablets or phones. I have always disliked leaving fingerprints on my screens, you have only to hold up your device at an angle and can see its smudge city, you can be continuously wiping the screen or...

Over the years Ive collected many stylus's, I've been on a mission to find the most comfortable, most responsive and most luxurious.

So when Dimples themselves kindly offered to send me their new stylus set I couldn't wait to try it...could this be the one?

Im quite a fussy stylus user and I know what I like and prefer from my stylus...believe me Ive gone through so many in the last few years trying to find my "ultimate stylus". ....That's another review!

I have at least 20 in my drawer, but its only a few I always go back to. I do alot of writing and surfing and my stylus's have to be comfortable with a nice balance.
I hate a light stylii; Im not sure why but they feel really uncomfortable in my hand. I prefer a more weighted stylus and where possible a cool metallic feel too. Am I being too fussy...maybe?

Fingers crossed this is going to be a keeper!

Packaging

Its so refreshing to receive a stylus in a nicely presented box rather than just a plastic bag.

 Underneath is this items full and longest name Ive reviewed lol.

I was so impressed to open the solid sturdy lid to find the 2 beautiful stylus's sat in black flock-lined form.

Description

Okay well what makes these stylus's or stylii different from your £1 shop jobbies...well alot!

First of all lets take a sec to look at this beautiful blue stainless steel and aluminum body.

There are 6 other colour variations too.

Plus of course mine, this stunning Blue + Blue which is my favorite. 

 Just look at what you get in this set, you dont just get 1 stylus you get 2. So you get to give one to a friend or spouse. Or keep one as a spare.

Then you also get 2 replacement Micro-knit fiber tips and 4...yes I said 4 of the mini jot discs.

This luxury set combines 2 different types of stylus one at either end; both offering you different writing or drawing experiences; not possible with the cheaper normal rubber tipped stylus.

 First of all we have the Micro fiber knit tip; this is a first for me, Ive never had the chance to try one of these yet.

These are said to be far more durable than the rubber tipped ends.

The other design is the Precision Mini jot disc fine point stylus.

This clever stylus design allows you to angle the tip to a 75 degree angle which is a normal writing/drawing angle for maximum hand comfort.

(As shown in the image above.)

 Perfect for writing, surfing, gaming or drawing for longer lengths of time.

 This set has been so cleverly thought out; as you have one of each of these excellent quality tips on each stylus. 

PLUS you dont have just "1 double ended stylus"...you have "2 in the box set"!!!

You have the Fiber knit for everyday normal surfing, writing etc; but when you want to do something more detailed your never without your precision tip.

To make them even more luxurious you have a matching aluminum lid to cover the mini jot disc.

This has actually been a niggle of mine for years, Ive always wanted a stylus with a lid to keep my stylus tips free from dirt and dust etc. Especially when its bouncing around in my hand bag.

 Even the lids have been made as an addition to the design with the Dimples logo and the fact you cant even tell its a lid covering another stylus??

They are also screw threaded to make them more secure. I have to say its a super smooth screw thread too.

But thats not all.......

Nope...when these wear down...which will take an age or if the mini disc gets damaged as their design alone makes them a bit more delicate; you simply replace them with one of the 4 spares in this set.

You get 2 Micro fiber knits tips and 4 Precision Mini jot discs...cool huh! This set will last you for years if used properly.

 The Fiber knit tip simply unscrews from its really well made screw thread and you replace it with one of the 2 in the box.

 The Mini jot discs are slightly different in that you gently pull it out from the stainless steel tapered head and then push-in the replacement.

You get 4 extras of these as the discs could get scratched or dirty over time being a flatter surface. Plus they are a little delicate being able to bend around. You also need the disc to be clean too to see clearly through it, for your precision work.

They both have a lovely cushioned rubberized grip too, which I have to say really is super soft and so comfortable to hold for those longer writing sessions.

Image by Dimples excel

You can see in the image above the intricate parts to this beautiful stylus.

Tech spec

• Length 5.6 inches (140mm) long.
• Pen Tube diameter is 0.35 inches (9mm).
• Disc diameter 0.27 inches (6.8mm).
• Fiber tip diameter 0.24 inches (6mm).
• Weight is 24grams.
• Material made from Stainless steel and aluminum with NO PLASTIC PARTS. except on the mini jot disc which is a hard conductive plastic tip.

The stylus's are both compatible with any capacitive touch screens.

Note; With the mini jot discs you need to remember to clean them regularly with a quick wipe as any pieces of dust or dirt could potentially scratch the screens; it only takes a few seconds. I wipe mine every night before going to sleep. 

Writing Samples

Okay so you need proof of the pudding dont you; so I'll show you some piks while I was using my Nexus 10 tablet.

First of all the Fiber knit tip; its responsive and super smooth, one of the smoothest tips on any stylus Ive used.

Plus it can still do any width of line the same as the mini jot disc; however you cant see through it like the disc tip. Using the Fiber tip I didn't expect it to still draw this thin.

The Mini Jot disc is the queen of stylus's its super smooth and soooo very responsive; with no jumps or breaks in a fluid line drawing.

You can also see here, how clearly you can see the line through the transparent disc; perfect for artists and gamers.

Opinion 

This set is an exceptional luxury stylus set; I love the colour its a beautiful blue which is perfectly balanced in my hands. The aluminum feels cool in your hand and the rubberized grip is super comfy with extra squidge; ideal for me when I'm often writing or surfing for a few hours at a time.

The rubberized grip being placed at 1 end is in the correct place "just" for the mini jot disc end of the stylus not really for the fiber tip. However I do still hold the rubberized grip when using the fiber tip, but hold it further back along the barrel (if you see what I mean).
It feels a lazy girls hold but its actually very comfy and perfect when sitting in bed playing a game or surfing. They really have thought through this design...high 5 Dimples...!!!!

What makes this set extra special is the fact you get 2 types of stylus tip; one for everyday and the other for more precision drawing and gaming. Ive found with certain app games you need to click on an exact point to play. I often play "Find the object" games and you need to tap a more exact precise point. This mini jot tip has been amazing for these. 

The Sketch apps is where it comes into its own; its wonderful to see where your placing the tip, the flat disc feels strange if you've never used one before but it gives you real slip and slide that you probably haven't been used to. Ideal for finer artistic work where you can see an exact join through the clear disc..see my images.
Plus the detailed adult colouring apps too, you can get into the smallest sections to colour.

An extra clever thing Ive discovered is that as its just me using this set; I can pinch the cap off the spare one and I have a lid for both ends...Yay super cool!

It makes it a bit longer in length but its worth it as it will prolong the life on both ends of the stylus not just the mini jot disc; its just PERFECT for my hand bag.

I can highly recommend this set for anyone who loves using a stylus and especially for those of you that love a more luxury pen to use like me. You dont have to just have luxury ink pens you can now have luxury stylus's too.

In my opinion too; both guys and girls would be comfortable using these, sometimes they can be too thin or small for larger male hands, but because of the gorgeous balance I feel it would suit anyone who enjoys a beautifully balanced stylus.

I take the view if you've spent a small fortune on your phone or tablet you dont want to be using a £1 stylus on its screen. Cheap rubber tips will disintegrate and eventually scratch and quite often dont have the responsiveness that this set gives you.

The extra luxury feel and balance makes surfing, writing or drawing a lovely experience so you really will get the most out of your tablet/phone.

It looks as good as it feels and would make an ideal gift for anyone who loves their phone/tablet.
