Local King Magic Mushrooms with holding bases

Great blending results and super nice packaging. I lappreciate that they come with their own storage. Great product

5/5

Have really enjoyed playing with the Local King Magic Mushrooms. They make it easy to control and blend colors. They are easy to clean and store in their cute individual storage pods. They don't wear out like other daubers do. I'm very impressed.

I pre-ordered Lisa's magic mushrooms with the bases as soon as she made them available for sale because I'm a huge fan and just love all her products. I have to admit, at the beginning I kept thinking to myself - there's so many sponge applicators, what's so special about these? Boy was I wrong! Lisa's magic mushrooms are exceptional. Like many other sponge solutions (like finger daubers or the ones with handles) - they are able to absorb a lot of ink and because of that they tend to make it much easier for you to blend and put on a lot of color on your paper. With bristle brushes, you often get a great blend but you have to go over it 4 sometimes even 10 times to get the same amount of ink you would get on one pass with the magic mushrooms. Bristle brushes often flex so much that you can also accidentally get the bristles under the stencil when doing stencil techniques - leading to a not so crisp image. The other smaller sponge tools get similar amounts of ink down as the magic mushrooms but they have their own problems - they're usually to small so it takes a lot of time to cover a large area, because they are small it's also a lot easier to accidentally put too much pressure on any one area leading to rough edges/lines showing up. Lisa's mushrooms are the perfect size, they get just the right amount of ink down, the quality is AMAZING (do not buy "generic" when it comes to this stuff - sure it might work once but the cheap ones are almost disposable because they start falling part soon after you use them - and the parts that start breaking off ruin your project!). You won't have this problem if you use the real magic mushrooms that say local king on the handle - I have been using them for over a year and they've gotten stained but they still work great. The covers and bases are great for organization as well but if it's not in the budget to buy everything I would at least buy just the mushrooms - they are really amazing.

I have tried many different blending tools including brushes, Magic Mushrooms are the best I have come across. From day one of using these blending tools, I found that they worked right away. There was no waiting for the tool to get saturated, the tool did not go where I didn’t want like bristles of brushes. It’s easy to control how much ink you want to use and blending is a breeze. I highly recommend trying these out.
