## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can they be heat set? I want them for art quilts but want to make sure. Thanks**
A: Yes. After you color with them and then use water on your paintbrush to paint onto fabric, you heat set with an iron after the paint dries. I have a tutorial about using these on fabric and creating a quilt on Craftsy. Go here: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/painting-on-fabric-with-crayon-pastels/113202

**Q: Does anyone have a list of the colors in the set of 30?**
A: Actually, I went back to your ad, and you can zoom to the box of colors, and see exactly what I see looking at the box in front of me.

**Q: Do they blend well? Some of the pencils/crayons work well but don't blend well.**
A: Yes, these do blend well.  They are highly pigmented, creamy watercolor crayons that can be used to intensify standard artist watercolors, used alone, or used wet or dry.  I previously bought a more inexpensive brand of watercolor crayons and gave them away after I was introduced to the Neocolor !!.  In my opinion, they are the best of their kind and are well worth the money.

**Q: What colors come in this set**
A: Since I am on vacation, I can't give you an exact list. I do know that it has black, white and even a medium grey. The rest are vibrant hues of green, red, blue and yellow. I hope this helps...
