Review on BTSKY160 Colored Leather Organizer Watercolor by Michelle Langley

I bought this to keep the materials I use for my adult coloring books organized. The description says it has 160 slots. Ah, not like that! Thats much better. So, for starters, this is an organizer in the form of a book. Appearance I chose pink gray interior. Each inside is, if you will, gray cloth/vinyl on hardboard. Each section has its own nylon zipper which is well stitched, runs smoothly and is a good pull size. All slots in this organizer are single slots made of elastic fabric. No need to try to fit multiple pencils or pens into one slot. The first section has two 1" wide slots at the top that can hold a ballpoint, square, or eraser marker. I put my Prismacolor Marker Blender in this slot. I bought it to add to my 150 karat Prismacolor Premier Pencil Set The rest of the first page has 14 pencil slots Each of the following 7 pages holds 22 pencils or pens While BTSKY lists it as a 160 slot colored pencil organizer, it actually has 168 standard slots, 1 larger slot and 2 slots for square sharpeners or erasers, a pencil blender, a polishing pencil, a cold pencil, my pencil extenders that hold my crayons when they're too short to hold in my hand, an automatic pencil, and a small pad of sandpaper to use for designed to be used with crayons to last a long time Page of this organizer I even have a small one Pocket tucked in so I could sharpen my pencils right in the pocket without needing anything extra to hold the shavings. When this organizer is completely filled, I have not noticed any stress on the zippers. There is plenty of space for all my needs. My pens are protected. My sister in law and I enjoy this hobby so we bring our supplies when we visit. The men can watch TV and we chat while we paint. This summer I can take it outside to relax outside and paint without worrying about lugging things around or losing them. I used to take some of my coloring books and pens with me on trips, but I didn't feel comfortable coloring on the plane. I can put this suitcase behind my coloring book and it will be a great help. Of course, I know it's a pencil organizer and treat it accordingly. But I can draw enough on it to paint quite comfortably. I went to Prismacolor.com and printed out a color sample. I prefer to color it myself to be able to mix any color from light to saturated. Then I placed the pens in the case in the same order as in the Prismacolor color chart, except for neon yellow, neon orange, and neon pink. I posted the ones with yellow, orange or pink flowers. Otherwise, finding the right color is very easy. Also, sharpening the pencils will remove the color names and numbers. But by placing them according to the Prismacolor chart, I know exactly what color I'm using. I recommend the Cosmos aluminum pencil holders to get the most out of your crayons, the Alvin Brass Bullet Sharpener for the sharpest point, and the Farber Castell Perfectioin 7058B eraser. If I remember the name of another eraser that I think works wonders, I'll update this review. Hope it wasn't too long. But I kept accidentally stumbling across some of these items. If I can help another lover with what I found, I'll try. If you like Joanna Basford's coloring pages, also check out Hannah Carlzon's books. They are slightly more expensive; but it's worth it. I rely on other people's reviews when deciding to buy online. Apart from the seller's description and photos, all we need is honesty from other buyers. Therefore I am expressing my 100% honest opinion of the product I am reviewing based on appearance, quality, durability and usage. I've been using it for several weeks until now. If anything changes I will update this review. I want you to know that I am so pleased with this product that I have today ordered another one in green to add to my gel pen collection. I actually use quite a lot of media as I'm by no means a real artist. I love using gel pens and glitter glue sticks when some of the pictures show gems. Anyway, I am attaching photos to my review. I should mention that it comes with a good size bracelet which has a lobster clasp. This means you can wear it on your wrist and have your hands free for other things.
