I have been lucky enough to get my paws on a 60 count set of perfect DESIGN SPECTRACOLOR PENCILS…
And for an unbelievable low price..
I about fell out of my chair trying to purchase them online😀😀😀
We all know the story of the changes to the prismacolor line over the years from Eagle , Sanford, berol, Newell etc.. etc..
And the latest changes of the ultimate sad loss of two favorite colors.
Although they did the best to make the new ones like the previous they are not exactly lilac and lavender🤷🏻‍♀️
With that said let’s look back on one of my favorites.
And the story that goes with these pencils is just as interesting and intriguing.
None other than E. Faber himself was pivotal in these pencils & then the changing hands to PRISMA. WOW
There’s so much history just in colored pencils.
I hope you enjoy this swatching and it brings back memories for you.
If you’re ever so lucky to find these beauties, you may want to snag a few of these prized pencils that are still amongst the holy grail of pencils in quality, blending abilities and color.
Should out to Amber Calhoun Kern for providing the vintage boxed set images & sharing her set’s backstory with me😎😎
