Default Pure color pencils

Does anyone own the SU pure color pencils? Are they a must-have?

I bought them and didn't like them too much at first. But they really grow on you. Fun to color with. They are very different from the watercolor pencils. YOu can't blend them with blender pens and they are hard to erase. But they layer nicely on top of each other. You can color on darker cardstock. And you can use the sides to color fast and in lighter shades!

Have a great day. Hugs and smiles.

The only complaints I've heard so far, is that they break very easily and especially if stored in colder temps, but the color is lush and there is virtually no waste, because of how they are designed--all color, no wooden casing around the pigment/lead (? whatever it's called!).

I like them a lot, the color is nice and soft. Plus it's all color no lead!

I have them and they are o.k.; however, I really like my Prismacolor pencils better. I bought a big set from Mike's with a coupon & there are so many more color choices.

Has anyone tried blending them using alchol? Someone told me you could blend them. I have not tried this yet to many things on my plate right now.
