Prisma love

I've been having crazy lots of fun doing the Supplies Me class.  I've mostly been using the colored pencils I've had for years - they're Prismacolor Scholar.  I was considering making the jump to the Premier, then last week they went on sale at Michael's. I was being kind of cheap and thinking it couldn't really make that much of a difference, could it? But then I remembered when I finally tried Golden paints at Journalfest - it really does make a difference!! So I told myself it's my Christmas present and I went to Michael's. 

All the Prisma stuff was half price - so I got a set of colored pencils, plus...I've been having trouble with details on my faces.  Because the pencils are a bit soft, when I tried to draw small the features would be all blobby. It turns out Prisma already thought of that! They have Verithin pencils that are hard so you can draw in details - for some reason this amazed me - so I got the biggest set they had!

As soon as I got home I started drawing and coloring. I haven't had this much fun since I graduated kindergarten!  And the pencils - huuuge difference!
