Chalk Pencils?

Has anyone ever used chalk pencils to enhance their Paper piecings? I saw
them on QVC and was wondering how they are? I believe they are very similar
to pastel chalk pencils. I would like to try them myself but thought I
should ask first.

TIA,
Dorothy

I"ve used them. heheh. they are pretty good...not as messy as using
reg. chalks. more control when working w/ little areas.

You can get them at michaels in the pastel's section..not in the
scrapbook section. I got mine at the Great American SCrapbook show
last year...but i have seen them at michaels.

Yeah....me too. I have been asking around about them too. None of the LSS
carry them, they just gave me the look of "huh, there is a product like
that?" I went to Michael's several times but never thought of going into
the other section to locate them.

Are they thin like regular colored pencils or thicker?? (I may have a trip
to Michael's in my future....)

They are the same thickness as pencil crayons. They do work well in smaller
areas and you have more control. Maybe because they are a fairly new thing
or maybe just my LSS but I paid 32$ for 12, a bit pricey! Barb:o)

QVC has them:Item Number F3752
Nancy Hamby 24pc Chalk Pencil Set with 138 Designs

QVC Price $33.17
Shipping and Handling $4.47

If anybody wants them. I have also seen them on e-bay for about the
same price and the shipping is the same. I figure it may be easier to
purchase them from QVC. If they get lost or are broken you have a guarantee.

Just a thought. I think I will be ordering mine today.

Thank you everyone for all your input.

God Bless,

Dorothy

Thanks, that helps. I couldn't find any at Michael's, but of course, I
didn't really know what I was looking for! =)

Michael's has them in sets of 6 in the art department. Last year I saw the
Landscape set on clearance and picked it up. I have considered getting some of
the other sets but hate to put out the money when I have a chalk set. They are
just a chalk instead of graphite in the wooden pencil and the benefit I found
was that they get into small areas easier.
