Very, Very nice..... and oh so feminine. I love working with the crayons and have never had problems with them smearing. I use Crayola crayons...color the design LIGHTLY, then heat set the piece... and I continue to repeat this process until I get the desired look. Each Process allows you to apply added shading without that HEAVY look and gives a lot of dimension. Everyone should give it a try! I especially like working on a good grade muslin...... but for practice pull out any that you have and go for it......it's like being 5 all over again!!! :)
