Thanks :) :) :)
I bought a box set of 72 half price (£50) in Hobbycraft this week as had been advised that these were as good as Prismas. I am sat here colouring in some Sugar Nellie stamps on very smooth card and Sansador and really pleased with the result. Had tried a different thinners but it wasn't as good as Sansador.
Have never tried Prismas for a comparison, but am happy with what I got.:lol:
Thanks for that Clair - we don't have hobbycraft down here but will go online to see what they have. ;) :)
Who make these colour soft pencils?
I think it's Derwent
Yes it is Derwent. Bubble-Deb where are you in Dorset? There is a Hobbycraft in Longham, Ferndown.
Hi Claire - I'm in Weymouth so I think the closest would be Bournemouth. :)
Claire - just this minute had a phone call back from Hobbycraft and yes I have ordered them - yeaaaaaaa.
Thanks for the info you are a gem :) :)
I think you will love them. Make sure you get Sansador though as I have foudn it does make all the difference and really smooth card.
Thanks for that Claire :) :) I do have the sanodor already - i used to use it with oil pastel crayons - but now I have succumbed to the colour soft, lol, lol.
Really looking forward to playing with them - have a lot to learn. :) :)
I am finding that practice makes perfect (well almost!!!):P
I'll be practising soon too Claire. ;) :) yeaaa can't wait. But I have family coming to stay for the week so i will have to be even more patient...!
I AM LOVING THESE PENCILS!!! Have coloured in 2 Penny Black stamps tonight that I have previously done in watercolours and they look 200% better in the Coloursoft pencils.
Claire why am i turning a strange shade of green as I read your last post, lol, lol, lol.
No, seriously - am sooo pleased for you and I wil have to be patient and wait for mine. But back to work tomorrow and family coming to stay any hows so that will take my mind of them, lol.
Yeeeeeaaaaaa Claire - guess what was waiting for me when I got home from work.............. hungry husband - yes, but also my COLOURSOFT pencils.
Ooooh i can't wait to play with them but they will have to wait got family staying now for a few days - maybe I can sneek off for a bit and pretend I am doing the ironing, lol, lol
Will let you know how I am getting on...how are you doing with yours???
