    When you try it on your hand it doesn't look too interesting but then I see it on paper and WOW, that neon! That blue, so crisp, clean and beautiful, and the blend ability, the watercoloring it is great, perfect for experimenting, madness!

    Thank you! I have Faber Castell gel stix on my Amazon wish list. It looks like the product is about the same but I LOVE the packaging for this!
    I wouldn't have thouht of using them in a palette.

    Thanks for the review. I have Gelatos and have been told these are the same! but cheaper, they certainly act and look the same, I will definitely give them a try!

    Thanks for the great show and tell. I too find it disappointing that these and the gelatos lack the purple family. Maybe FC will update with more colors later. I hope!

    Terrific video...I only recently found Your channel and certainly appreciate the product reviews and tutorials you share. MANY TIMES, I have found products targeted for another consumer group that are MUCH less expensive than an identical product targeted to the crafting community. It PAYS to pay attention to marketing ploys. THANKS for sharing. ~BLESSINGS~

    @amyjoystudios Před 9 lety

    These are so cool! They look great on the white cardstock. i wonder if they are the same as the gel sticks or a little different? The gel sticks are supposed to be the kids' version of gelatos from what I understand...Great idea to put the two dots on the bottom of the card so the person can color it in. TFS xxAmy

    Are they any different to the Gelatos? They look quite similar.

  • @CardsbyMaaike
    @CardsbyMaaike Před 9 lety +1

    they look very much like gelatos when used wet, i hope they make purple soon ;-) thanks for sharing

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 9 lety +1

      They are very similar to gelatos- perhaps a bit softer in texture and more limited colors. By the way, if you mix the neon blue and neon pink or the regular blue and the neon pink you get lovely purples.

  • @barbaramills7429
    @barbaramills7429 Před 5 lety +1

    So, do they ever become "non-blendable" Does adding water help. If I used them in a sketchbook, would they print on pages around them? I know oil pastels have this problem as well - would fixative help :) Thanks for the great video!

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 5 lety

      Oil Pastels or stick usually have a film that can be peeled off-these do not. Once they dry up, they are useless.

  • @grapes770
    @grapes770 Před 9 lety +2

    Thanks for the review! I was hoping you'd address the difference or lack thereof to the gelatos/gel sticks by FC. Also, how much do these go for n if there are more colors.... Not that I can't find out myself but if ur reviewing those things would be nice to include.

    • @crafttestdummies

  • @veaudor
    @veaudor Před 6 lety

    I'm just surprised that these are water soluble, since the packaging is not described as such (or, did I miss something??). I just recieved my order of FC water color getl stix, for about 2x as much money.

  • @JulianaRumple
    @JulianaRumple Před 9 lety +3

    i just bought a version of these from a band really nice brand called Maped. Here in Brazil we don´t have those faber castell yet. The Maped ones have the exact same packaging !!!!! The Maped ones also have a nice purple! =)

    Do these colours set after a period of time or will they always be susceptible to water? ie: will water damage a finished product?

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 3 lety

      Yes, it will always be water-reactive.

    • @ejapplin

    Are these permanent if the color is used on fabric then ironed,?

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 9 lety

      Beverly Swanson I haven't tried that, but I doubt it. These were formulated to be washed out of fabric so that kids wouldn't stain their clothes.

  • @KawaiiPinkPunkStar
    @KawaiiPinkPunkStar Před 8 lety +4

    Good grief...I need these! Any way you can "seal" the colors once you're done? Maybe a spray?

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 8 lety +2

      +KawaiiPinkPunkStar You can spray with a Krylon triple thick and it should cut down on bleeding.

    • @KawaiiPinkPunkStar
      @KawaiiPinkPunkStar Před 8 lety

  • @quiettornado1970
    @quiettornado1970 Před 3 lety

    Do they need a sealer?

    • @crafttestdummies

    • @crafttestdummies

    Do these ever dry? Thanks.

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 9 lety

      They are a creamy crayon, so I'm not sure what you mean by "dry." But if you water them down the water does evaporate and you are left with a dry surface. If they are applied thickly they stay blendable and creamy.

    • @SickExoticBirdParade
      @SickExoticBirdParade Před 8 lety +1

      +CraftTestDummies It means do the crayons themselves ever dry, you idiot.

      +Ex Parrot don't be rude.

    • @meowscutie
      @meowscutie Před 8 lety

      she says they're water based so they'll probably dry out if you leave them capless for a while or after you've had them for quite a while and they haven't gotten used (they'll probably get used by then though)

  • @UConceptPublishing
    @UConceptPublishing Před 7 lety

    will they ever dry?

    • @crafttestdummies
      @crafttestdummies  Před 7 lety +1

      They are dry- but they will remain water reactive/soluable any time they come in contact with moisture. This could be water OR damp/oily fingers! So use a spray sealer to keep them from smudging.

      @iluvsk8rs4lyfe Před 9 lety
