So ……… Whats in the Box???????

Today we’re talking about the much awaited Jane Davenport products that finally arrived in the shop a few days ago. This isn't a review as such, there's plenty of those on the internet, its more about what you get in the box and links to some truly inspiring videos you can watch.

Jane’s “Paint ‘til you Faint” Water Colour paints

I’m no expert but I have to say that I do love the colours of the Neutrals as well as the Brights. You get 12 amazing colours in each box. When you open the box each individual pan is wrapped with a drawn and coloured face on the wrapping. They look good enough to eat, let alone paint with.  Both sets contain three primaries so you can mix any colour you like [that’s a plus for anyone who wants to mix their own colours]. Both palettes also have a little inspirational insert to help you on your way. Jane has just released single watercolor pans so when you use up your favourite colour, no worries, you can replace it. She also includes information on the colours (like pigments and Light fastness) on her website. For some inspiration visit this video on youtube.

Decorate your scrapbooks or journals with these fun transfer sheets. The pack includes 2 sheets each measuring 9.5 x 15 cm to give you an idea of the size of the individual images.  From what I’ve read on the internet these rub-ons are really good quality and are very popular.

Jane’s Mermaid Markers

You get 12 water colour brush pens pre-filled with highly pigmented dye-based ink with fine nylon responsive brush tips.  What’s great about them is that when they sadly come to an end they’re refillable Due to their popularity I think we’ll be seeing refills on the shelves soon.
