Do any of my west- or east-coast friends want to do me a favor?

I never knew that finding red/blue colored pencils for sketching would be so difficult. I finally decided which brands/colors I want, but the local art stores (Hobby Lobby and Michaels) don't carry them. Staples doesn't carry them. Amazon doesn't sell the individual pencils, and I don't want to drop $6-$15 on a set until I know that I like them.

I got a Blick in town near me! I can take the train in this coming week and pick them up for you when I go to get some things I need, if you like.

[kyogres]

If you could do that, I would really appreciate it. (If I somehow luck out and manage to find them before your Blick trip, I'll let you know.)

Man, I miss having a Utrecht within walking distance and a DickBlick within bus/subway distance.

Thanks, I'll let you know when I go. :)

OKAY I was gonna go today but it was a scrillion degrees and I woke up feeling wobbly and it just didn't happen. Gonna go Friday now and will pick 'em up then unless someone else already did.

[kyogres]

No problem.

As far as I know, no one else has found the Caran d'Ache pencils yet. Someone did find the Prismacolors, but it would be nice to get them all from the same person to save on shipping, if possible.

PS - You should move to Oklahoma. It's 70 degrees and rainy here.

OKAY back. I got them all, but I accidentally got the wrong red - Scarlet Red instead of Carmine. If you need that specifically, I have to go in town again on Monday and can exchange it, or if it's not a big difference for your needs I could just send you that one. Let me know~

[kyogres]

Thank you!

I wanted the carmine because I think it's a little bit lighter, but scarlet would probably work too. Let me know how much I owe you and where to send the money.

Let's see...

The pencils were $7.25 with city tax; postage is $2.07. All together that's $9.32 if my math is right. My paypal is ofpenandsword@gmail.com.

I already put them in an envelope and can probably get them out Monday when I go in town. :D

[kyogres]

Wow, your city tax seems a lot cheaper than mine.

Payment sent. Thanks.

[wingedparadox]

Got it, thanks.
