You can read about their sustainable mission here: the-hobby-hop.subbly.me/articles/in-the-box/crafting-and-consumer-waste-reversing-the-impact-1
I looked over their website and from what I can see from past kits this is more for the craft curious or beginner crafter or someone who wants to do crafts with their kids, pre-teens especially. (*Please note: The designers of the box have said they designed this for busy mommas who are short on time and want to grab a box and go craft and it may contain sewing needles and other products not designed for children.) I think many people would enjoy the projects but advanced crafters probably wouldn't be challenged enough by the contents and probably have the supplies they are featuring already. I think this is perfect for casual hobbists who want everything they need for a project all in one spot so they can sit down and make something. Reviewers said they had enough supplies to make 4-7 projects which brings down the cost per use of the box to an affordable per-project price.
Cost: The boxes cost between $40 and $49 depending on how much you pay upfront. Shipping was about $7.50 when I typed in my info on the order form and it seems to be shipped USPS flat rate so you will need to add that to the box price to determine if it is worth it.
Bottom line: I like the idea of making project kits from supplies that might otherwise go to waste and the fact two women can make that into a business. It allows them to put more value in the box I think. If you want to learn more about this subscription box you can visit The Hobby Hop website: the-hobby-hop.subbly.me

This set includes Hansa Yellow Light, Transparent Pyrrole Orange, Quinacridone Magenta, Dioxazine Purple, Cerulean Blue Chromium, and Phthalo Turquoise, plus six empty half pans for mixing, adding additional colors, or removing to include a travel brush.
Pros:
Nice tin and packaging
Beautiful vibrant colors that mix cleanly
Layers well
Nice dispersion in water
Made in the USA
Cons:
The price I paid may be unavailable
Bottom line: If you like extremely strong, bright saturated colors you will love this. If you prefer more muted colors these may be difficult to control. That said the palette is well-balanced and neutrals can be mixed. I really like it but but I don't think the color palette is for everybody.

I mentioned some useful tools and supplies for teaching watercolor, I will link what I think of below but feel free to ask questions in the comments. *Affiliate links used at no cost to you, thank you for your support:)
The tote I use to transport my tools is by Crop n Style and it is no longer made but I found a product made by any companies called a rolling teacher's bag that would work perfectly. Amazon has many to choose from. I have not used any of them because my Crop n Style tote has been perfect. This XL scrapbooking tote from Crop n Style is still available tho: amzn.to/4bkWok3
Rolling teacher bags on Amazon: amzn.to/3UGrc9J
Watercolor palettes:
A good option would be to purchase some empty palettes in bulk like this 12 pack of folding plastic palettes: amzn.to/4bhChDt which holds 20 colors. Still, I would only put paint on the bottom wells as 10 colors are more than enough. I would do split primary set of 6 of DaVinci watercolor because the 37ml tubes are a great value and professional quality: http://shrsl.com/4ieut My recommended colors are:
Hansa Yellow Light (Cool primary; PY3)
Arylide Yellow (Warm primary; PY97)
Red Rose Deep (Cool primary; PV19)
Vermilion (Warm primary; PR188/PO62)
Phthalo Blue (Cool primary; PB15)
Ultramarine Blue (Warm primary; PB29)
Burnt Sienna (Pbr7)
Yellow Ochre (PY 43) or raw sienna
Sap Green (PG7, PY42) *this is a convenient color but great to have!
If you want a premade palette I'd recommend:
This is the Aquafine set I have, I think they are discontinuing it tho: amzn.to/3JHcxos *I am happy with it for the price I paid but I wouldn't recommend it if it cost over $15. I have also used the Cotman sketcher box amzn.to/3UIXHEk and I still think it is a good set and less intimidating color wise but for the price, I'd still go with either the Davinci or Pretty Excellent if I had to do it again.
Pretty Excellent/ Meilang 36 set, these watercolors are better than Aquafine and usually cheaper, watch for sales! amzn.to/3y7mFnE
*36 is a lot of colors so you might want to put magnets on the back of the halfpans and only put the essential colors in the tin for students and refill with Davinci as you use up colors.
Paper:
An affordable cotton watercolor paper is Bee: amzn.to/4aZ4RK0 I have use this a lot and you can't beat it for the price
I also use Watercolor cards for many classes and they work well with the student grade paint.
Canson Montval: http://shrsl.com/4ievi
Strathmore: http://shrsl.com/4ievl
Brushes:
This is tough, I like to have a #4 and #8 round and a 1/2" flat asa minimum for classes. The aquafine sets have the #4 round. Dynasty makes a nice brush: http://shrsl.com/4ievl and so does Royal & Langnickle: http://shrsl.com/4ievt but I have a hodge-podge of brushes and they work fine too. Just try and keep them in good working order.
Other:
I get the masking tape from Dollar Tree, it has the perfect amount of stickiness. I get bulk pencil sharpeners and pencils there too. That is also where I found the brush hanger and washer.

The colors in the set are Zinc White, Ivory Black, Primary Red, Primary Blue, Primary Yellow and Permanent green middle. the tubes are 14ml and a simple mixing brochure with info on the colors in the range is included.
Pros:
Price
Colors mix well
Pigment and lightfastness info is provided
Easy to work with
Rewets fine so the dry paint on your palette can be reused
Cons:
The colors are fairly transparent for a gouache
The red is not lightfast
There was some binder separation on a few of the colors
In my opinion, the green is a waste in this set, and a brown would have been much more useful.
Bottom line:
I think these paints are nice and well-priced. The opacity was good enough that I did not struggle to layer colors or paint on toned paper. I enjoyed the color selection (except the green) and liked the zinc white for mixing. I think this would be a good mixing set but the lack of a brown might be unnecessarily frustrating for a beginner.

#thefrugalcrafter #watercolor #art
Today I am reviewing the Urban Sketch travel set of 6 watercolors by Qor, a watercolor brand made by Golden. I bought mine on Amazon but it is currently sold out, here is the link when it comes back: amzn.to/3xNNU6y
Blick has a good price too: http://shrsl.com/4hu0q
This set includes Benzimidazolone Yellow, Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Teal, Van Dyke Brown, and Paynes Grey (although on Blick it says it has Neutral Tint so maybe they have recently swapped a color and that's why I got a deal?)
Pros:
Great quality
Awesome color selection
I got it for 60% off retail!
Made in the USA
Colors mix and layer well
Tin did not stain
Room for 6 more colors
Swatch card included
Cons:
The only con is that it is sold out at the price I paid but I still think it is worth Blicks sale price
Bottom line,
This is a fun set and the quality is wonderful. I am so happy I bought it and I would buy it again!

Disclaimer, you can purchase a better version of what I am making for $2-$4 at Cheap Joes: cheapjoes.com/cheap-joe-s-artist-sketchers-strap.html I am basically making a dupe of this because I already had the elastic so if you already have the elastic or can't order from Cheap Joes you can make one too!
Supplies:
Sewing Elastic at least 3/4" wide, the wider the better I think, this is a 2 pack of black and white of 1.5: amzn.to/3vDWBzY you get 20 yards so you can make a bunch of these if you wanted!
Sewing machine or patience and a needle and thread

Featured Water-brushes (affiliate links used)
All Water brushes on Blick: http://shrsl.com/4hifp
I recommend the Derwent and Pentel as the easiest to squeeze and the Niji for the most compact and if you like a more water flow.
I do not recommend the Royal & Langnickle brushes because they flood out too much water (they are nice for making glitter or mica watercolor pens tho)
Amazon has lots of cheap generic watercolor brush sets and some name brand ones. amzn.to/3UcY7T5
There is nothing wrong with most of the generic ones, they can be a bit hard to squeeze tho.
Be sure to price compare on the brand names because they are often the same price or less on Blick.

The QOR mini palettes are still on sale! (the regular price of these is $55 and Blick sells them for $32!) I purchased mine from then Amazon seller Small NC Town and received them in 5 days, much sooner than what was promised. I am very happy! I wanted to make sure they arrived OK before I recommended them, I don't know why they are so cheap on Amazon)

Pros to this method:
It's quick and easy
It is cheap (or free if you have some leftover)
It works well
Cons:
There is a slight cream color to the wax
You must be gentle and use a soft brush so you don't smear your watercolor
I don't know if it is archival (Use Dorlands Wax if you need a clear and archival solution)
Here are the products I mentioned:
Home Decor Wax: amzn.to/3PRnWFL
Dorlands Wax: http://shrsl.com/4hc14 or amzn.to/4akGaHN
*you get 2x the product of home decor wax vs Dorlands wax for the same price.

The only natural hair quil brush I own is a Winsor Newton Pure Squirrel Quill
I will list the brushes most similar to the real squirrel first.
Princeton Neptune Quill, available in sizes 4, 6 and 8 (note quil sizing is much larger than standard brush sizes) price ranges from about $19 to $30 on Blick but list price is double that. shrsl.com/4fsws
Artegria Quill 2 piece set from Amazon, inexpensive, longer bristles can make control a bit difficult, size 2 and 6. amzn.to/3TiQZUL
My Overall Pick: Lightwish quil brush set of 4: I love the sizes in this set (#0#2#4#6) and the response and action in the brush is perfect for me. Great price too! amzn.to/3V33hBN
Grabie set of 9: These are the same as the Lightwish (it seem to me anyway!) but honestly there are just too many similar sizes in this set. I'd recommend this if you want to split the set with friends or have extra brushes for travel, Sizes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8: amzn.to/49LvtgU
The Virbanum art paint set comes with a lovely #4 quill brush, it is attractive and performs well. The bristles are on the longer side. The paint is nice in the set too but it has gone up in price. amzn.to/43fgFVL
Roymac Revolution Taklon Quill brushes: they come in even sized 0-10 and are the most expensive brush in today's lineup. They are stiffer and the bristles are dense. They are not what I would look for in a mop brush but if you like a stiffer brush you may enjoy it. This is an Australian brand and will be hard to get elsewhere. https://micador.com.au/products/micador-for-artists-revolution-brushes I like this line of brushes for watercolor in normal styles like flats and rounds. they are more of a faux kolinsky type of brush.
These 6 Biaelk travel quills are golden tal=klon snappy brushes that are sized like other travel brushes, a bit smaller than standard brushes. they are very nice but the only similarity to these and quill brushes is the ferrule: amzn.to/42X4qg2

Pros:
Price
Nice color selection (good mixing colors and some unique add ons)
Contains a couple granulating colors
Contains colbalt and cadium colors (this may be a negative for some)
Beautiful packaging
Colors glaze well
Colors mix well
Some colors lift and some stain just as I would expect from a professional quality brand
Pigment and lightfast info included
Swatch card with pigment info included
Cons:
I find the browns disappointing
Bottom line: These remind me the most of the 4th generation artists' tube paints from Paul Rubens: amzn.to/3x85PEH as they seem to be milled very similarly to those (and not as similar to the 4th gen pans.) I really enjoy the Paul Rubens watercolors, as I have mentioned in previous reviews I have been sent some from the brand to review but I have also purchased some with my own money because I think they are one of the best values going in watercolor. I think this set and the 4th generation tube sets are the sheerest offering of the Paul Rubens Pro range but in terms of quality they are all excellent and I recommend choosing the set with the colors you prefer the most. Paul rubens also has some eastern and student ranges so for clarity I will list the sets I recommend for a profession watercolor below.
5th generation pan set (reviewed today) amzn.to/3PsksJn
4th Generation Tube set: amzn.to/3x85PEH
Original half pan set: amzn.to/3PpLWiJ There are 2 24 sets that when combined equal the colors in the 48 set. There are also 12 color sets available and metallics that are very nice.
*I didn't like the 4th generation half pans as much as the others but they are still good paint: amzn.to/3INhriZ
