Yay! Did you like them? Are they as smooth as butter like everyone says they are? I'm going to DM you to request your mailing address so I can send you a sticker!

I did like them! They're definitely smooth... but I've switched back to mainly using my Faber-Castell Pitt Graphite Matt pencils, which seem to smudge less! (Smudging drives me bonkers.)

Thanks for adding us to the list Beth! and the last art supply I picked up is Pan Pastel - it was to be able to use pastels without messy hands, but then my order came in and it said "causes cancer" on the label and because I share my space with my kid, I haven't opened them...

I'm conflicted about soft pastels too for the same reason, Pauline! I love the ones at the art shop here but am worried about breathing in carcinogens. I've read somewhere that the Unison and Sennelier brands don't have toxic ingredients but am not sure what that means. I hardly used the Pan pastels at all because I have trouble keeping up with the little applicator. 😆

The Pan Pastel has an ASTM logo on it, so it's also supposed to be non-toxic, but I guess when something goes into the air it is damaging in other ways. I've googled it a bit and basically a lot of people say if "you use common sense" (so for instance not blow it off your paper and work vertically) you minimise the risks. But I guess "common sense" also is widely interpretable so I'm not sure haha
