The book looks amazing. It is definitely going on the list for the Grandkid's Christmas. I love the look of those portable palettes. It looks like it would be really convenient to take with anywhere you would wander. I can't get out & wander anywhere and I still want to get one. Want Monster needs to be tamed. But those pencils! WOW, Just Wow. What an amazing gift! They were obviously moved to Bless you with those because of your testimony, skill and gift as a teacher.

I also prefer metal palettes even when traveling. This is a great design and idea I just wish it wasn’t made out of plastic. I can see the idea behind it is to make it as light as possible or even easier/cheaper to bring to market but for me I’m passing on this just because of j’y preference to metal palettes.

Nice swag! You are a fortunate man... I’d be happy if they’d sell those same beautiful cases for my existing pencils. There is a need in the market for that kind of well designed quality compact case. I’m also a fan of Fabre Castell and Derwent Inktense. I bought the full set of and full Caran d'Ache of a similar line. My 72 pencil set would get used more if only they weren’t stashed in a zip up case where each pencil is removed from individual elastic loops which aren’t convenient when in the creative space time continuum. Thanks for the lovely review Steve, blessings to you and your family always. It’s always good to listen to you share.

The Micro Painter looks so neat and I like your idea of clipping it to the sketchbook. The Kodi novel looks amazing and was a lot of work for sure. While the Faber Castell watercolors are a surprise, somehow I don't expect a company like Faber Castell creating watercolors, their pencils are well known here in Germany and used from school children to artists as they have a variety of them, but the watercolors by them are not used often. They are not the standard watercolor sets that are given to kids here in school, but they're also not professional. The audience would really be more of advanced learner, hobbyist or crafters. I would love to see an in depth review on them. Thanks for the overview and introducing new goodies. Have a great day! Lana
