I went to Michaels last night and bought some, okay I bought a bunch of stuff lol. I used 50 percent off on the expensive items. They didn't have everything I wanted so hopefully they will get some more stuff in. and today i see theres a 60 percent coupon of course.
I can't say enough good things about her products, I used my mermaid markers and watercolors so far the colors are awesome. I still need to play with the other stuff yet. I didn't get all I wan to get yet even though I got a lot. Never been so excited about a product line. Jane offers free online classes using her new products.

JMHO, but when I saw them in my M's, many of her products looked like re-branded versions of products that have already been made by other manufacturers/brands. For example, the Mermaid pens looked just like water pens with Dyan Reaveley's inks poured into them. (I've used those in her classes.). The paints reminded me of the Prima watercolor sets, and at $30, they seemed over-priced to me. The markers looked like all the other American Crafts markers, with the exception that they can be used on darker papers (Galaxy markers?). I know I'm the odd person out, and I'm not judging those who like these products. It's just my initial reaction to them.
I purchased the a couple of the washi tape sets and have used them already. Really like them. I have the Paint pens (used coupon as they are pricey). Played with them and made a color swatch page for my book. I like to depth of the color. I did not think the quality of the brush pen was that great, but I would guess it will be a throw away after it is empty...or use it as a water brush.

I guess I'm another odd [wo]man out too - not about rebranding, which I don't know about, but thinking I must have missed something, since there are already great acrylic paints, markers, watercolors, etc. that are out there (and in my stash). But maybe people love them partly because colors in sets coordinate?
Some papers were beautiful - though I have too much unused DSP. I'm a pouch junky, and liked the uber-skinny pouches (not the ones with faces), assuming they can be used without attaching them to journals.
I've never been drawn to sketched faces of women I haven't met : ) so maybe that's part of it too.
Jane Davenport! I want it all
