Default Sharing a colored pencil review

Hello,

I got this review (link below) in my email today and thought it's worth sharing for those of us that use colored pencils. Colorit seems to be a newer brand to market and might be of interest to some. I don't have any opinion except that they're bombarding me with emails. They're really trying to saturate the market and get customers. So, be wary before you subscribe.
Have fun,
mob

Thank you for the lift! I'm not in the market for colored pencils, but so happy I read your post. I was feeling pretty blah this morning, but your post cracked me up! I absolutely love your honesty "bombarding me with emails", I'm still chuckling! Priceless!!! Thanks a bunch. HUGS!

Very thorough review of the selected brands. I read all of the comments, as well, and it seems that there are a lot more brands out there! I tend to sort of pay attention to reviews, but I'm very much a hands-on learner so I'll probably try a slew of them on my own before committing to a brand. I never sign up for anyone's mailing lists, so I don't have to worry about "being bombarded". I'm sure I miss out on sales, etc., but how much stuff do I really need? Pretty sure the answer is "no more"... Anyway - thanks for the heads-up and the link!

Dina Kowal did a thorough test of colored pencils, pros and cons, costs and lightfast. You can find that on her blog. She owns about 700 of them, all different brands. It's the best review I've seen and sorry, don't have the link but can google Dina and colored pencil.

It's over 900 now... plus back up duplicates just in case. ;)

Here's a link that will pull up all my pencil posts.
