This is the 2nd time I've seen these listed for sale and I've been curious about them.  They seem to come with "painting" sponges (which look like eye make-up applicators).

Anyone here use them before? Can you tell me more about them, consistency, etc.?

If you get some, let us know what you think, I'd love to try them myself.

I haven't tried them but I did see an interesting article about Pan Pastels here.  I haven't worked in pastels yet but they look like fun.

Let me know if you how they work out if you try them.

Status: offline 		David, I was just on the Pan Pastel website to see which colors came in which set, then took a look at where to buy them retail & it said that the Jerry's in West Hartford carries them, is that anywhere near you?

Status: offline 		I was bad today, I went to an expo sponsored by the semi-local Jerry's retail outlet and bought a set of 20 on impulse. I had a chance to test them out (very nice) the only drawback was that I don't think I can get the kind of small detail I like, but I figure it might be good to try something different. I wasn't going to get them but the checkout line was interminable (they have you pay for everything at once, then go back to the vendors to collect your stuff) & we were right across from the pan-pastel vendor. The woman in front of me & I were talking about them & both of us ended up getting a set. They were $55 at this place, on Jerrys website they're $80 so I don't feel too bad about it, I just hope I use them now.
