I actually used a Derwent Pastel sharpener that I got in a subscription box. It was mostly working on these, but I haven't needed to sharpen many. I have the Faber Castell pastels too, and I struggled sharpening those. I think I had to test a few sharpeners for those until I found one that worked as my trusty Derwent didn't work. I've heard that people always have issues and have to use a knife. That seems scary for me and I'll never use them if that's the case. So far I've been lucky with this box as the Derwent sharpener.

@@lozantoninocreations Thanks for the sharpener tip. I have Faber pastel pencils and I can sharpen them with the regular Faber pencil sharpeners. I don't like sharpening pencils with knives, so I don't even buy them in those cases.

@@fuzzydragons thanks. Shipping is always the problem for swaps. It works best to at least find someone in the same country. We did Amazon as it was easier, but being both in Australia, we could have easily just sent supplies to the other.

yeah if i could fined someone in scotland or even the rest of the UK, it would prob be ok for shipping 😀

Thanks. There are definitely some great products here 🙂

@@beatricenowell8207 thank you so much. ❤️

@@SarahRenaeClark thanks for inspiring me to just DO IT and stop procrastinating.

Thanks so much ❤️

Thank you so much.❤ I really like how it came out too :)

Thanks Ashleigh. Di did so well at picking things. I'm actually in the prep stages of a video doing some Chibi, since people are wondering and I'm hoping in the future to paint some roller skates. I've wanted to do that for a while. I bought the skates post pandemic and it turns out that I'm not a natural skating genius and can't skate for the life of me, so at least they can finally get some love that doesn't involve ice on my butt 🤣

I have the same issue often with buying from US creators, so I can definitely relate. The shipping makes or breaks it sometimes.

@@lindaeden27 I've been informed that you have been working with Sarah's team to resolve this matter. Hopefully this helps you receive this amazing product and you can soon put it to good use. If you have any further issues, be sure to speak to her team directly, who I'm sure will be happy to help.

@@rebeccaspalding6132 thanks so much 🍭🍬❤️

Thank you so much ❤️

Thanks so much Cassie! ❤️

Thanks ❤️

@@chaz83au thanks. I was a little nervous with my design. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for coming over ❤️

@@melissaaldosari8024 thank you ❤️

Thank you so much. I appreciate it ❤️

Thank you ❤️

YOu're welcome.

Thanks. I'd love to see what you would do. ❤️

@@tanyaschmith9737 thanks so much. ❤️

@@SoCraftastic thanks Sarah. I definitely have a plan on what to paint with these next. 😄

Thanks. It definitely is unusually. There is little need for a non pigmented color. I think they just want people to buy more product.

Thanks, those are great names. Howling Luna definitely works so well ❤

Thanks Rose. You would do an amazing job with all of these supplies too.

Thankyou so much ❤️

@@melindarivera6598 it is such a great medium. Once people start using it and understanding it, they generally fall in love with it. Thanks for watching ❤️

@@FroggyRaeCreations thanks and you should. It's so much fun. I enjoy the challenge of trying different things. It is like art subscription boxes, only a friend will do a better job at matching you with something fun that you'll enjoy. ❤️

@@lozantoninocreations I also love trying new things. This is way better because not only will they do a great job matching, it won't be one or two of an item. Thanks for the inspiration. I have been wanting to do some collabs and this seems like a fun one to do. ❤

Thank you so much. I do too. ❤️

@@tracybowling1156 thank you. I love that colour too. ❤️

@@sunnyTPMthanks. I have been wondering how many people would comment on that 🤣❤️ Need to have a little fun sometimes and that was fun to do.

Thanks. I actually did consider that. I was thinking of including one. I will do something else soon with the book too I think.

Thanks so much.❤️ I agree, I think we all love it. Most of us grew up watching Willy Wonka and I think he inspired me a little too.

Thanks Suzy. It was a great collab and didn't Di so so well with all her choices? ❤️

​@@lozantoninocreations as did you!

Thanks so much. I always see videos of people using these paints and it's actually intimidating, because of how amazing they are with them. I just wanted to create something a little bit fun and original. ❤️

At least it wasn’t crayola hey doodledate?…….

Both Aussie Crafter and I went into this wanting to get the other one some nicer products, so Crayola was definitely not on the cards. It wasn't a rule or anything, we both just have products we love and we wouldn't want to buy another artist something we didn't.

Thanks Paula. I absolutely love painting on custom items. It's much more fun to paint on unusual things. ❤️

Thanks Chantelle. Did you see you made a cameo in the screen shots of Di's channel in the intro? Your shorts came up a few times as suggested, and I left you in the crop 😂

Thank you very much. ❤️

Thank you so much for watching ❤️

Same! You did great! I loved the creative idea for the bag.❤

@@Mellwight thank you so much ❤️

Thanks. I was inspired by all the amazing watercolour artists out there who always do cute French store fronts. ❤️

Thanks ❤️ It's nice to do something a little different and try new things.

Thanks. I had to get creative with the design as the shape of the bag threw me. I felt bad as I didn't yet use the chibi book, but, I kind of wanted to use all those beautiful colours. She definitely did an amazing job at picking supplies. I totally expected she would get me clay, as she's so good with it. Leather paints was never on my guess list.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it ❤️

Thanks. Yes, I will have to do something fun and cute with it. I did try and think of a way to incorporate one of the characters, but I didn't think it would work. Aussie Crafter told me she got that book as I said I like drawing cute things and I didn't need to use it for this. It's a lovely book to have and I will definitely use it soon in a video 😃

@lozantoninocreations You're welcome!! 🤗 Just another tool to help broaden an artist's way of looking at things! 💞

Thank you so much. ❤️
