I can’t wait to see what you do with them and how they may help you to reduce the number of pastels you use in a piece. Bring them on!!]]> In reply to Judi Moncur.

Judi I’m thrilled that you were able to figure out a work around and that your local store sells individual sticks and that, who how! They were on sale. Perfect 😁

Voila! My chance to get the colours as singles, if not the set. Had to substitute one of the reds for a Red Earth but it looks similar. Sorry I couldn’t get the actual set, but it’s the next best thing. They arrived today and I have some spare boxes - so they’re going away with me next week. Looking forward to using them.😍😻]]> Gail, these colours looked so delicious that I couldn’t resist. And they are so ‘you’ – I can see them in all your demos. I also have a tendency to use far too many pastels, so this box would be a great help towards using a limited palette.
Problem for me, after trying a few avenues, is that it’s impossible to get the set from overseas without paying massive delivery costs (more than the price of the set). and then probably waiting months. 🙁

It will be such a great help with trying to assemble a properly balanced set to work with from my existing pastels and some individual new unisons as and when affordable!
I really enjoy your site and am grateful for all your generous sharing.
wishing you happy and safe healthy days
