Review: high quality pencils - Excellent colour coverage. Very bright colours. You can also use them on fabrics, great pencils. good value.
Review: Not necessarily permanent - I've never used these before, but they are lovely to use, either as pencils or wetted with a paintbrush to make them more intense. I used them to add colour to a laser-cut box I was decorating for my grandson. My only issue with them is that, despite being described as permanent, they did run when I applied a protective top coat to the piece. Perhaps I should have used a different product to finish it, but I'd happily buy these pencils again.
