It's a creme, with the most beautiful colors and blending ever. Not for brush work at all.

I love FWW but the colors.......... I guess I just see them different than Jenny.
The sparkle colors - great, love that lighter blue but some just don't work on guys and most non-euro ethnic skin tones.

Send me your address and I'll send you a couple so that you can try them out.

So it looks like Jodi Carr doesn't sell this any more?

Looks like she is only selling Wolfe sponges.

Glad I got some!!! lol.

But really the premium ones SF sells (And some regular tack sponges from the feed store I cut up) are just about the same for me as the Green Fantasy ones.

I use large scissors or a regular carving knife to cut up the large tack sponges then just trim the rough edges when they are the size I like

I hate to tell you this but if you bought Wolfe sponges you were robbed... The tack sponges have gone up a little in price over the last year or so, but still...

I have never bought the Wolfe ones so I can't really comment about those, I think they are Paradise ones I had, but I got some GF ones last time I ordered American FacePainter mag.

I ordered and just received (30) "SYNTHETIC ART, PAINTING, CRAFT SPONGES ~WHOLESALE" with free shipping for $9.99. After checking them out I am thinking about ordering another (30). After that, I shouldn't have to order sponges for a long time!

I did a test applying paint on my arm and although they are not as soft as the Snaz sponge I had been using it applies the paint nicely. I probably wouldn't know a good sponge from a bad sponge though, so take it for what it is worth!

Dfx has them on their website. They are really soft and I tried them all. Luckily, one of our local vendors has them so I don't have to pay the shipping, OTW- it is pricey. Metina, will you carry them in your store soon?

I bought the wolfe sponges and I really like the stiffness. It allows me to do designs faster then I could with the snazz sponges. Plus they are bigger. I'm just afraid of buy these tack sponges and it not being same stiffness as the wolfe.

i will send u a tack sponge I have... got like 30 for $10 off of ebay. Just pm me your address

Thanks babe! XOXOXOXOXO <3

I'm a fan of the carwash sponge, $1.99 cuts into about 60 pieces with scissors, I like having them in a variety of shapes and sizes so I can use what I need. (some are the right size for rainbow cakes, some have the right edge for dragon horns...) I'm an at least one sponge per person painter, don't double dip and I like the density for blending as well as the value.

I second that motion!

There is an aussie site that has these sponges and as far as I know that is where Mark Reid and Christina Davidson get theres from, there was a call out on the Aussie forum with American Painters trying to get their hands on them.
The site is www.alwayswickedart.com.au...... I'm trying to remember I think her name is Robin..... jeeze I'm hopeless with names.
Can't help you out with the shipping though, sorry.

Her name is Beckster. She is an amazing Aussie artist.
Check out her site. It is so inspiring.

Does anyone have any pics of their carwash made sponges? Shapes? Tools udes to make them? I cut one up & it looked all uneven. I went for makeup wedge shaped.

It is a sponge... who cares if it is lopsided???

I usually cut with large scissors... squish them flat as possible and cut.

I have a whole bunch that I cut from a car wash sponge and I hate using them... the corners that I end up with just really bug me... I always reach for my semicircle sponges first. I only use the others if I run out of the good ones. I should make a trip to the tack shop and see if I can pick up a bunch of those sponges so I can throw away my hacked up ones.

Here are some I cut from a carwash sponge, used some up at a birthday party on the weekend. As I said I like the different shapes and sizes for different edges, designs, uses...

I decided to cut up the other half quickly to show how many sponges I got, just took a few minutes and here they are 35 more for 1.99 at Canadian Tire!

A few have wonky edges, but that's 70 sponges for 2 bucks, and I know parents are happy to see me use a clean new sponge for their child no matter what shape it is.

What kind of sponge is that Suzy? It's quite porous, how does it work? How soft?
