Review on Armadillo Art Craft Shapers Wallet by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Incredible pastel effect

These flexible miniature spatulas come in a variety of shapes to create amazing results with pastels - fix pastels in place, move pastels to match adjacent colours to mix". As you know, you can't smudge soft pastels, as it creates a messy mess, but you can "stroke" leaven in narrow spaces between strokes and apply a color that mimics the one you're looking for in bare furrows. It's hard to do with half an inch wide thick ones (okay, that's overkill, but they are thick and bulky), but these applicators allow you to easily and smoothly apply colors side by side. They perfectly distribute the pigments to the desired area without wasting a finger, a cloth, or those awful sponges on a stick. It's both a set of your favorite brushes and you paint as if you've been doing it all your life, in a new medium you may not be familiar with, rediscovering fun and spontaneous creativity. I'd say pick a diameter, I prefer the skinny 0's and 2's but love the wider 6's for wider areas or your work and treat yourself to some useful innocent fun.
