I absolutely love these markers. The colors are beautiful. They are easy to use as well. These are a good price too.

Metal D-clamp for swivel lamps or other type of swivel arms. Much better than the plastic one. More secure and sturdier. Changed all three of my lamp bases. I use swivel arms for my workbench multi-meters (much heavier than a lamp). Happy with my purchases.Highly recommended.

I really like these pencils. I accidentally found a technique that really exemplified the "magic" in them. Rolling the pencil to preserve the point and coloring in a circular motion really brings out the random beauty of the colors in coloring a small petaled flower like a zinnia. I have colored an entire picture with one pencil and gotten raves about it. The biggest drawback I am experiencing is the lack of tutorials to help people understand how to use them. I have seen critiques where the artist did not have a clue how to use them. I have also seen a Russian tutorial that shows a lot of blending techniques that really show some extraordinary effects. I am currently exploring their use for backgrounds. I like the pencils and find them a challenge to explore the "magic."
