Honestly my favourite online store for craft supplies and art supplies. They’ve got all the good watercolours and markers and pens and just perfect small stationary objects like the stickers from Greeting Life.

This pen is really great

This pen is really great. It performs better than expected. Maybe there is lack of description about this product on the page, but it holds, writes and draws great. Also the colour is very full and thick.

Sent for 8 pencils wich can be fragile

Sent for 8 pencils wich can be fragile, no packaging to speak of just in a bubble wrap envelope with other parcels throne on top, then th drop through the letterbox, I will be very surprised if all the leads are intact. Just a offcut of cardboard wrapped round then and a bit of tape, problem solved. I speak from past experience with other companies that I no longer use. B N Poxon
