I thought it would be nice to share the love so I am having a bit of a "giveaway" here on my blog. All you need to do is leave a comment, preferably saying why you would like to try out Pan Pastels, put a link on your own blog linking it back here and you could be in with a chance of winning this little lot. Now of course, you can still enter if you do not have a blog but it would be nice to play fair if you do have one. The Giveaway will be open for entries until 30th September 2011.
Here are a couple of background pages from one of my journals using the Pan Pastels, I love the way the colours blend together so beautifully.
You can achieve soft, pretty, subtle backgrounds
or bright vibrant ones........such a versatile product....everyone should have at least a few Pan Pastels in their stash of arty goodies.

Just when you think there can't be another fantabulous product - up it pops and there you are tempting us all. The degree of tone variation and subtlety looks very inviting and yet seems very easy on the hand...saw a blogger recently that had bought all 80 colours (eek!

i am so sorry i havent got a blog, but am at this very moment just trying to find out what panpastel wil do? Is it ink, is it some kind of chalk? i am very curious. Here in Holland it is not easy to find a shop for such things.

Lovely, lovely pastels, Lin! Vintage doesn't have to be dark, or grungy! I would love to have some of these, but I read that someone has all EIGHTY colours!! I would be happy with just a few, and then see how I could blend them.

I was wanting to order some of these from a local store here in Michigan but I forgot. Loved working with them at the stamp show this past spring. Maybe I will get lucky? Red, grey and charcoal colors would be so cool.

I absolutely adore the richness of the colours and versatility of these pastels and so desperately would love to try them out for myself. I want to start journalling and some pan pastels would be an excellent start to my stash.

Beautiful samples & what a fabulous product, I would love to have the chance to try these out.
I just started art journaling about a month ago and I love it! Have been eying these pan pastels and really would love to get my hands on some but alas, my budget just won't allow at this time! I have oil pastel sticks, some chalk pastel sticks, water colors, tube acrylics, oil paints, etc. but this medium really intriques me. I must start a pan pastel cookie jar to save up for some! Would love to win!!! of course we all would.
i have really been wanting to try these Pan Pastels. I love adding mixed media to my work - so thanks for the chance to win.
