Venting about...
Crayola colored pencils. I bought them a while ago, & they performed as expected (decent color coverage/color selection in the package); for the most part, that is, until I started to sharpen them. As I would sharpen them, chunks of the lead would fall out (of the freshly sharpened body of the pencil itself), which would lead to my usage of colorful metaphors & threats of throwing said pencils in the garbage.
It's surprising to me; you'd think that Crayola (a major, national brand synonymous with quality crayons) would have other quality art items. Now, to be fair, I haven't used ALL of their other artsy things, so I honestly can't say how their other products are. However, I will definitely never buy their colored pencils again. For fun, I went on Amazon to see product reviews (which I know should always be taken with a grain of salt), & a some other folks had the same problems that I had. So go figure.
When I'm ready to buy new ones, I'm going to pick up Prismacolor colored pencils. But not right away, though; I plan on being as jerky as possible & use up the Crayolas until I truly can't take the nonsense anymore (or until they're too short to use).
Anyone else have the same issues w/the Crayola pencils?
