I'm unsubscriping also. First of all those of us that buy budget friendly are not even familiar with those artists on premium company's. I never go on DAC or the others because paying over $100 for a kit is why out of my view. I really don't care where my images come from!

That is perfectly fine. I do wish, however, you had watched a bit more. I come out in full support of the TEMU kits, but I wanted to begin with what are some of the potential caveats (like AI with mangled hands). For me, personally, I like to try and not purchase stolen art but I don’t blame anyone who does. Rather, I just wanted to show how easy it is for overseas companies to do this. I firmly believe in the necessity and the joy that comes from budget friendly stores.

I'm in the UK and Paintgem kits are £32 and Temu is only £9. So I've recently bought one of the houseplants set from Temu. I haven't done any yet but it looks really good overall. It has 81 colours...81! 😳Lol. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the drills came in strips and not pre-bagged, as advertised.
@knits4sanity 21 сағат бұрын
Wow! That is so many colors! What a bummer they weren’t in bags. The two sets I got have both been in bags, but I think that’s part of what to expect for budget-friendly kits- lack of consistency. It’s not a big deal, but definitely disappointing.

In my head, the paint gem is the one I would put in a small binder and turn it into a coffee table book with the level of detail that it has up close and Temu would be for general decorating purposes. That's the best way I would be able to describe that.

I have looked all day for a really good comparison video. Since I am a poor widow with arthritis looking to challenge her brain, I am going to stick with Temu while learning. I don't know if I will graduate to the higher priced, though I think the quality is evident in Paintgem. Thank you.

Super cute kits! I love how customizable jades shop is! I'm excited to get a pixel chart when i have some extra money though. She recently started selling mica powder to use to hide any gapping that you might have. Pretty sure that's what is in the tube! I also love the jaded gem tac. It's like glue dots so it can be finicky but it lasts forever.

I ordered the Second painting from senterwan. But i did'nt received it yet. Do You recommend return it and have a round drills.. Iam worried that I may faced some issues when i start Working on it and i can't turn it back if i allready Open it..!
@knits4sanity 9 күн бұрын
Despite not liking the square drills as much as their round, I was not worried that they would not work. Generally, you get more than enough drills in a kit, so any of the odd sized ones you should be able to toss and still have enough to complete the kit. However, I have only looked at this one square drill kit from them, and there can be variations from kit to kit. Others have commented here, though, that they really liked their senterwan kits. If you ordered it through TEMU, you will still be able to return it even if you open it.
