art stuff: watercolor pencils. a blast from the past

I was doing some purging recently and came across these watercolor pencils.

Talk about a blast from the past. It has been YEARS since I snapped these up at some home stamping party. I decided to mess around with them in my art journal with my water brush. I admit - they weren't moving around as I would like to see,  but I wasn't working on water color paper either.

But I didn't dislike working with them. I don't think I will add these to the donate box after all. Maybe tomorrow I will give them another go on watercolor paper. Or maybe photo paper.

I think with the addition of some gesso, paint and inks, I can live with this. Do you have a "dated" art tool that you like to use? I would love to hear about it.

I love, love, love what you did with those pencils! Beautiful! I haven't used my watercolor pencils in some time. Looks like I've found some motivation to bring them out for the next project! (glimmerbug.com)
