Nicpro Permanent Fabric Paint

I’ve recently added this Nicpro Permanent Fabric Paint Set to my shopping bag, and I’m genuinely excited to try it out! I’ve already used Nicpro’s fluid acrylics in the past and absolutely loved the quality, so I’m confident about this one too. What drew me in is that these fabric colors are non-toxic, safe to wash, don’t fade, and truly permanent. Perfect for wearable art projects or reviving old tees with some personality.

I haven’t tested this set yet, but it’s on top of my creative wish list. Have you ever used this fabric paint before? I’d love to hear your thoughts, or if you swear by another brand, drop it in the comments. Let’s trade tips, artist to artist!

Rainbow Backpack

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect back-to-school bag for my daughter. Something cute, colorful, and durable. When I stumbled upon this rainbow aesthetic backpack, I couldn’t resist. It’s spacious enough for her books, lunchbox, and little extras, plus those soft pastel tones? Adorable

When I showed my daughter this rainbow aesthetic backpack, her eyes lit up like I just handed her a cupcake for breakfast. It’s now topping my shopping list. Spacious, adorable, and in her favorite pastel tones. It’s the kind of bag that makes going back to school feel exciting, not just necessary.

Sharpie Color Burst Permanent Marker

I’ve been loyal to the classic black Sharpie for years. it’s been my go-to for labeling, sketching, and random bursts of creative chaos. But this time, I’m eyeing something more playful: the Sharpie 24-pack in assorted colors. I can already imagine the joy of adding vibrant pops of color to my notes and art projects.

Aspaper Stylus Pen

I haven’t tested this one yet, but the Aspaper Stylus Pen is sitting confidently at the top of my shopping list. It’s designed for iPads and looks like a strong alternative to the Apple Pencil, sleek, rechargeable, and super budget-friendly.

Why it caught my eye:

  • Compatible with iPads from 2018 to now (perfect for my digital art workflow).

  • No Bluetooth needed. Just turn it on and go.

  • Thousands of reviewers are saying it’s a “hidden gem” for artists and students alike.

It’s exactly the kind of practical, elegant tool I love adding to my studio setup.

MEEDEN Watercolor Brushes

I’m already a loyal fan of MEEDEN their ceramic palette and easel are daily staples in my studio (and yes, totally worth the hype). So when I spotted this 9-piece synthetic squirrel brush set, I had to add it to my wish list.

Why it’s tempting: The brushes promise great water retention and precision. two things I crave in watercolor work. I love how MEEDEN combines aesthetic and function, and based on my experience with their other products, I have high hopes this brush set will live up to the rest.

Why it’s on hold: I’m trying to be intentional with my purchases (no more hoarding art supplies just because they’re pretty… maybe), so I’m letting this one marinate until I wrap up my current project.
