I have been on the fence about these and believe I will wait and just color with my colored pencils and gamsol for now.<BR/>I did want to mention that you can purchase these at Hobby Lobby. They have 40% off from time to time. They only sell them individually for about $5.99. I haven't done the math, to know if 40% off of this is a good deal or not, but did want to let you & your readers know.Debbie Fisher (debbiedee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01504216412594013717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277059696456802485.post-23186710949978976822008-01-06T15:03:00.000-08:002008-01-06T15:03:00.000-08:00I SO appreciate your review.

I had them on my wish list, and was purchasing them (I DID find them locally) ONE at a time as that is the only way I can afford them.

It is totally appreciated. So nevah mind jumping on the band wagon cause I not missin' out - I should just use what I have for now, and be happy, ya? Eventually when my pens run dry then I can look at other alternatives, but the Prismacolors would probably be best to go with since it's 1/2 the price.

May I suggest you contact Craft Critique (is that what it is called?) because I'm sure they would love to use your post. It is very thorough. I commend you for writing such a fabulous critique. I don't have copics or prisma markers, and do not foresee me making the purchase because my background is painting and I love my watercolour pencil crayons, Tombow markers, and prisma pencil crayons. Should I purchase markers I certainly will remember to come back to reread your critique. That said, it was an enjoyable readj and I do thank you for all the time it took to put it together.Beth Norman-Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660887911283811823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277059696456802485.post-73541845493551778702008-01-06T08:51:00.000-08:002008-01-06T08:51:00.000-08:00Wow!
