Review: it just works! - You must have read my Mungyo oil pastel review. These two I bought together as I was experimenting with water soluble crayons. Caran Dache is an amazing brand and the packaging itself is so perfect. The box is of 10 water soluble wax crayons. And yes it looks really small, BUT It's gorgeous to work with. I mix My Mungyo. Oil pastels and my neocolours II. Try it out.
Review: Excellent - Great product, really easy and fun to use

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the color names that are included?**
A: Dear Beth Gould, Thank you for your inquiry. I apologize for any inconvenience. This set of 10 includes: White; Black; Yellow; Orange; Brown; Scarlet; Purple; Violet; Cobalt Blue & Emerald Green. Thank you, Karen S./Blick Art Materials

**Q: I typically use aquatone pencils. I leave them in the box and use them like a palette with a wet brush. Could I use these the same way?**
A: You sure can!

**Q: Can you use these for bible journaling?**
A: I beg to differ on this subject from the other answers...I have been journaling in bibles for a couple of years now. Yes, CdA NII have wax in them. Yes they will smear/smudge but only BEFORE water is applied. Once the water dries the color becomes stable. The trick to  journaling on thin onionskin like (read bible paper) is to use very very little water. And as far as getting a thin line, well apply the "crayon" directly onto a DAMP bristle end of a small flat brush. HTH

**Q: How long, in inches, are the Caran D'ache crayons? Thanks**
A: They are about 4 inches long.
